Abstract
The Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of pre-advent investigative judgment has facedskepticism since the late 19th century, largely due to perceived conflicts with the Epistleto the Hebrews. This study endeavors to establish the doctrine’s biblical foundation,predominantly found in the book of Daniel, while scrutinizing its compatibility withthe New Testament. By analyzing texts in Daniel 7, 8, 9, and the explicit sequence inRevelation 14, this research provides compelling evidence for the concept of pre-adventjudgment in the Bible. However, questions arise concerning the location of Jesus’post-ascension ministry in heaven, particularly in the context of “seated at the right handof God”. Despite potential conflicts suggested by this phrase, aspects such as intercessoryministry and High priest Christology appear to harmonize with the doctrine. Whilethis article offers substantial support, a more detailed examination of their compatibilityawaits part two of this study.
