When is the temple of God in heaven opened?
The temple of God in heaven is opened during the closing days of the tribulation. The earthly tabernacle was only a pattern of the heavenly original, and that heavenly temple is the one opened in Revelation chapter 11, verse 19. This occurs at the end of the tribulation period.
Les explains that the tabernacle Moses was instructed to build was not the original; it was a pattern or blueprint of the true sanctuary in heaven. In Hebrews 9, Christ serves in a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, not of this creation. Les connects this heavenly original to Revelation 11:19, where the temple of God in heaven is opened during the closing days of the tribulation.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
