From April 2 to 4, Bible students gathered at our church for inspiring and thought-provoking teaching on the relationship between the ancient Jewish sanctuary and God’s plan of salvation—and what it all means for Christians living in today’s turbulent world.
Amazing Sanctuary: A Most Holy Place Experience brought together speakers from Amazing Facts, Weimar Institute, and Secrets Unsealed to explain the meaning of an ancient temple that’s been long forgotten in Christian theology—but one that still has powerful secrets to reveal, not only about the future, but also as Jesus’ saving role as the Lamb of God. Appropriately, the seminar was held on the weekend that the Christian world noted the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
The media team
Along with the live presentations at Granite Bay Hilltop Seventh-day Adventist Church, tens of thousands viewed the programs via livestream on Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo during the three days. The stage was decorated with replicas of an altar from the sanctuary, as well as the table of showbread and a candelabra. Projected on a video screen behind the speakers was an image of the ark of the covenant, which was located in the most holy place of the sanctuary. Ryan Hoover, an Amazing Facts missionary, took advantage of his beard and dressed in the traditional garments of the high priest, which added to the tangible experience of the event.
The event also marked the launch of Amazing Sanctuary: Preparation for the Most Holy Place Experience, a 13-week Bible lesson book designed for church Bible schools, small groups, and individuals to better understand God’s Word. The book is available to order at afbookstore.com.
