    36. Hebrews 6:19, 20

    Does Hebrews 6:19, 20 say that Christ entered into the most holy place at His ascension? Ford says yes. (Ford, Page 123.) In support of his position, Ford appeals to Ellen White, who says “The great sacrifice has been made. The way into the holiest is laid open. A new and living way is prepared for all. No longer need sinful, sorrowing humanity await the coming of the high priest. Henceforth the Saviour is to officiate as priest and advocate in the heaven of heavens.” (The Desire of Ages, 757).QSEW 27.4

    No doubt the most holy place is included in Hebrews 6:19, 20. But John the Revelator evidently saw Christ somewhere else as well. (See Revelation 1:12, 13.) It seems clear that from the day of His ascension Christ has had access to all heaven, and through Him all humanity has had unhindered access to the throne of God. The message of the epistle to the Hebrews is not that Christ is in one particular part of the heavenly sanctuary as opposed to another, but that He is in heaven, not on earth, and that His ministry is vastly superior to the work of the Levitical priests. God’s children are urged to come to Him there for grace to help in time of need. (See Hebrews 4:14-16; 10:19-2l.)QSEW 28.1
