Bible Book: Hebrews

In the ninth chapter of the Book of Hebrews, the author follows all of the pieces of furniture and the curtained areas of the tabernacle. And he uses the tabernacle as the language, the nomenclature, for the great spiritual truths that he preaches in Christ Jesus. So we have taken those articles of furniture and those sacred enclosures that the author has named, and we have followed them, as the Lord revealed them in their pattern on the mount, and as they were cast in substantive form by the haContinue Reading

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenaContinue Reading

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eContinue Reading

Chapter 9, the Book of Hebrews, beginning at the seventh verse and reading through the fourteenth verse: Hebrews 9:7-14. The first part of the chapter is a description of the tabernacle and its furnishings. Then where we begin to read is the veil and the Holy of Holies and The Day of Atonement.

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats aContinue Reading

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. WheContinue Reading
