In its widest, richest sense, God's sanctuary is wherever we experience God. It is the place where our heart is. On Sunday a church building becomes a sanctuary as God's people gather and make up the building blocks of God's spiritual temple (2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Peter 2:5).
In Seventh-day Adventist theology, the heavenly sanctuary teaching asserts that many aspects of the Hebrew tabernacle or sanctuary are representative of heavenly realities. In particular, Jesus is regarded as the High Priest who provides cleansing for human sins by the sacrificial shedding of his blood.
As nouns the difference between tabernacle and sanctuaryis that tabernacle is any temporary dwelling, a hut, tent, booth while sanctuary is a place of safety, refuge or protection.
The main source describing the tabernacle is the biblical Book of Exodus, specifically Exodus 25–31 and 35–40. Those passages describe an inner sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, created by the veil suspended by four pillars. This sanctuary contained the Ark of the Covenant, with its cherubim-covered mercy seat.
If a person murdered someone and then ran to the church to claim sanctuary, no one could could come in and harm, arrest or remove her for punishment. Even after the Western Roman Empire fell in 476, churches maintained their authority to protect people who had broken major secular laws.
The Sanctuary's original purpose was to keep the Warlock of Melancholy away from Echidna.

White among the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time." White's writings still influence people today. White claimed to have received over 2,000 visions and dreams from God in public and private meetings throughout her life, which were witnessed by Adventist pioneers and the general public.
