A study of atonement in Seventh-Day Adventism

The tension between the all-sufficient atonement of the cross and
a socalled "final" atonement during the pre-Advent judgment,
prophecied in Daniel and Revelation., are resolved when the nature
of these two moments of atonement are seen in their biblical
settings.
The death of Messiah is clearly portrayed as the primary fulfilment
of the Day of Atonement typology in not only the gospels and
in Hebrews, but also in Daniel and Revelation. However, this
once-for-all atonement is an infinite act of God that eclipses all
time and space. As such it asserts itself dynamically in all the
spheres of human experience and history.
The pre-Advent judgment is therefore not another, complementary
act of atonement, but the cosmic ·manifestation of the atonement of
the cross that finally demonstrates and irrevocably confirms the
Lordship of Christ over all who retained the faith by which they
were justified. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
