“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15 ESV |
Ellen White alleges that the Father and Son moved into the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 so Christ could carry out the final phase of his atonement work. We find no biblical support for this preposterous teaching whatsoever in the Bible. This teaching implies that from the time of Christ’s ascension to Heaven to sit on the right side of Yahuwah’s throne till 1844, for the duration of this period, both the Father and Son were seated in the Holy Place only. This is a ridiculous claim and a grievous insult to Father Yahuwah. Father Yahuwah's presence makes any place the holiest place; not a particular section of Heaven is regarded as the holiest place to move into, as alleged by Ellen White. We regard this teaching as blasphemy against Father Yahuwah. The author of the Book of Hebrews affirms that Christ “went into the Most Holy Place. But it was not the man-made one, which is only a copy of the real one. He went into heaven, and he is there now before God to help us.” Hebrews 9:24 ERV. Heaven is a Most Holy Place because of Yahuwah’s presence. The Father does not need to move to a section of Heaven designated as the Most Holy Place so His Son can carry out the final phase of His atoning work. This is an absurd and senseless teaching.
Furthermore, Christ’s atonement was completed at the cross. The Bible does not support any notion that there are phases to Yahushua’s atoning work, as alleged by Ellen White.
Here are two quotes by Ellen White on this subject:
Heaven is a Most Holy Place because of Yahuwah’s presence. The Father does not need to move to a section of Heaven designated as the Most Holy Place so His Son can carry out the final phase of His atoning work. This is an absurd and senseless teaching.

In February, 1845, I had a vision of events commencing with the Midnight Cry. I saw a throne and on it sat the Father and the Son. I gazed on Jesus’ countenance and admired his lovely person. The Father’s person I could not behold, for a cloud of glorious light covered him. I asked Jesus if his Father had a form like himself. He said he had, but I could not behold it, for said he if you should once behold the glory of his person you would cease to exist…. And I saw the Father rise from the throne, and in a flaming Chariot go into the Holy of Holies, within the veil, and did sit. There I saw thrones that I had never seen before. Then Jesus rose up from the throne,… And I saw a cloudy chariot, with wheels like flaming fire, and Angels were all around it as it came where Jesus was. He stepped into the chariot and was borne to the Holiest where the Father sat. There I beheld Jesus, as He was standing before the Father, a great High Priest… {Broadside1 April 6, 1846, par. 7}
As the priest entered the most holy once a year to cleanse the earthly sanctuary, so Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make a final atonement for all who could be benefited by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary. EW 253.1
Can Father Yahuwah commission a prophet/messenger to be His end-time spokesperson, and that person spreads the narrative that it is not Yahuwah’s presence that makes a place a Most Holy, but instead, there is a special section in Heaven that is Most Holy; and that such a place was moved into by the Father and Son in 1844 so that Christ can complete His work of atonement? If you can imagine Father Yahuwah would commission such a person to be His chosen prophet/messenger in these last days, you will likely be ready to believe us if we claim that we have a few bridges to sell at exceptional prices.
