Abstract

This article is the second of a two-part study that addresses the macro hermeneutical principles of the heavenly sanctuary as claimed in the Holy Scriptures and identifiable in the light of the historicist understanding of the topic. The first part defined the macro hermeneutics and recalled its important connection with the realities of the heavenly sanctuary. It also recognized the existence and meaning of the fundamental principles of ontological, structural and functional correspondences between the heavenly and earthly sanctuaries—as established in the Bible and reaffirmed in the writings of Ellen G. White—emphasizing the macro hermeneutical role of these principles in the constitution and continuation of the Seventh-day Adventist theological system. In this second part, in light of this perspective, sometimes called literal, the emblematic coexistence of metaphorical and symbolic notions about the heavenly sanctuary that has
been gaining space in the Adventist milieu is highlighted, noting the implications and challenges of such propositions for the theology and practice of the Adventist Church.
