The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

A Closed Door in the Typical Service

Those who by faith followed Christ in his work, after the close of the period of twenty-three hundred days—Oct. 22, 1844—saw that when the day of atonement came in the typical service the high priest closed the door of the outer apartment and opened the door into the holy of holies, there to perform his work of blotting out the sins confessed in the sanctuary; and that even so Christ, our high priest, had closed the door of the outer apartment of the heavenly temple, and opened that apartment in which was seen “the ark of his testament.” ⁴ GSAM 216.1
