The quest for unification of the empire by unification of the church, the fever for church-building projects with his wife Theodora, the persecution of enemies of the church and heretics, his disdain with the Sabbath although his second name was Sabbatini, his support for suppressing any eschatological fever in line with the church fathers and Oecumenius and yet trying to build the ‘Kingdom of God’ on earth, all this indicate the problem 538 was for the Roman...

Pfandl's Problems on the Heavenly Sanctuary, 2015

Unaware of these two successive kingdoms, most theologians misapply the purposes and vision of the Epistle to the Hebrews and the book of Revelation.

One of them is that of Dr. Gerard Pfandl, former vice-president of the Biblical Research Institute of the General Conference (SDA). For him, there is a sanctuary in heaven, but we cannot know how it is arranged. Pfandl is followed by many in our church, who deny a physical and visible correspondence between the earthly temple and the heavenly one, preferring a functional correspondence between both sanctuaries. For those interested in Pfandl's views on this issue, see my critiques of his views on my webpage: A second more radical view is that of Jean-Claude Verrechia, former professor of theology at the SDA French Seminar (today Institute) of Collonges-sous-Saleve, France; and later professor of theology in Newbold College, England. While at the Protestant Faculty of Theology of the University of Strasbourg, he prepared a doctoral dissertation on the Sanctuary in the Epistle to the Hebrews. For him, there is no sanctuary in heaven, but just a symbol of the presence of God. In his public dissertation before the jury and about fifty SDAs who attended the defense of his thesis, he said that he didn't believe in the existence of the heavenly sanctuary as his church believed. He reached his conclusion based on the Jewish Hellenistic views of Philo of Alexandria, and was greatly inspired by the Australian theologian Edward Heppenstal, who was followed in turn by his disciple Desmond Ford. How can we answer these new modern views on the heavenly temple, from the perspective of what our church has believed from the beginning of our history, and still believes? As one of the scholars of the University of Strasbourg told my friend Jean-Claud Verrechia in the defense of his dissertation, we may have problems today believing in a real temple in heaven. But this was not a problem for the Jews of the first century, because they believed in the existence of a real temple in heaven. In this series of ten dialogues with my sons Daniel and Roy, we will answer about 300 questions that people have asked about the Heavenly Temple in the Book of Revelation. And in this first dialogue, Is There a Temple in Heaven?, we will introduce the matter acknowledging that our answers to these new views will determine in a great measure, how we will understand the visions of the book of Revelation, and the kind of literary structural arrangement we will propose for that book. If you want to grow in the knowledge of this important topic in the Bible and, especially, in the book of Revelation, be patient, and allow my sons and me to ask and respond, little by little, to the many questions that some have raised today in the study of these important issues for our faith. Let me share the first link which you can find under the title of this message. The rest of the ten links will be shared once per week, with an additional written commentary to introduce each one.
