---“I was astonished by the vision, but no one
understood it” (Dan. 8:27, NKJV). “‘O
Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand’” (Dan. 9:22,
NKJV).
---Two time
dates are given here as two sides of one coin. Chapter 8 2300 and chapter 9
490.
---But in
chapter 8 Daniel did not understand.
---In chapter
9 the angel came to give the key how to understand 8.
---That key
is the starting point of Ezra 7 with the 457 BC date!
---You
kick-off here, the angel said, and you know many things.
---You will
know the time Jesus was born, baptized, and Stephen’s death and Saul becoming
Paul.
---You know
the time of Jesus Ministry of Atonement continued in the Heavenly Sanctuary
moving from the Holies to the Most Holy.
---Cleansed =
niṣdaq.
---The word is a hapax legomenon meaning that it
appears in that form of the Niphal as a passive meaning only once in the whole
Old Testament.
---When a
word is rare, no context is available.
---Both the
Hebrew and the Greek of Leviticus 16:30 talks about the Day of Atonement as a
day Atonement is made and cleansing takes place.
---For an
Adventist the question should not be a polarization of cleansing and justified,
a setting up of a sanctuary scene on the Day of Atonement versus a court scene.
That is what Desmond Ford wanted to do.
---What is a
Day of Atonement on earth in the Most Holy of Leviticus 16 is a Court Scene in
heaven according to Daniel 7:9-13. It is two sides of the same coin.
---The
justification is not humans but God‘s character is justified in the eyes of all
heavenly creatures as jury.
---The
theology of salvation comes with a package of cleansing plus justification.
---See David
in Psalm 51:2-4. Cleansed from washing of Baptism, the sinner is cleansed from
his sin and cleansed from his sin God will be justified and clear when He
judges.
--- The
final conclusion is that niṣdaq has both the context of an
earthly and heavenly Court Scene or context but theologically is related to
soteriology in the way David saw it that cleansed from sin means that God is
justified in heaven in the Investigative Judgment or Court also in
Heaven.
---It is the
heavenly sanctuary that is the setting for the court scene there.
---That was
to happen 2300 years since 1844 according to Daniel 8:14.
---So are
their whiners in your area about this? Tell them to relax and keep biblical. Do
not try to cast Calvinism or Reformed jargon over it. Adventists have
progressed since the Reformation. Right?
