Christ Jesus our
Savior- enters the holy place in the heavenly sanctuary, not bearing the blood
of goats and calves. Christ our High Priest isn't bringing the blood of animals
into the heavenly sanctuary. The heavenly sanctuary needs special blood, blood
worthy of the heavenly sanctuary, where the heavenly Father dwells on His
throne. The special blood is the innocent blood shed, the sinless blood given
to redeem mankind, to make the atonement that would cleanse and restore mankind
to an AT ONE MENT with the Heavenly Father. Eternal redemption is found in the
spilled blood of our Savior.
Heb 9:12
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.
The blood of
animals- bulls and goats- served the earthly sanctuary, the ashes of the animal
sacrifice sprinkled on the sinful, the unclean would serve to cleanse them.
This animal blood through the ministrations of the earthly sanctuary's
priests/high priest in their God appointed duty would in essence sanctify the
flesh. IF this is truth, and it is, then
HOW much more will the BLOOD OF THE SINLESS SAVIOR cleanse us? The powerful blood of our Savior will PURGE
OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD.
Heb 9:13 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:
Heb 9:14 How
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
Our Savior, our
Heavenly High Priest, our Mediator of the NEW TESTAMENT-
The first testament-
the sacrificial system initiated in the days of Moses- could NOT cleanse the
Heavenly Sanctuary. Only the BLOOD OF
CHRIST has that power the blood of the new testament, the sacrificial system with
only ONE sacrifice.
Heb 9:15 And
for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For
where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the
testator.
Heb 9:17 For a
testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all
while the testator liveth.
Heb 9:18
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Heb 9:20
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto
you.
Heb 9:21
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of
the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And
almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of
blood is no remission.
Heb 9:23 It
was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be
purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these.
Christ did NOT take
His blood into the sanctuary on earth, He took His blood into the heavenly
sanctuary - into the presence of the Heavenly Father.
Heb 9:24 For
Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the
figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor
yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the
holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For
then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now
once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself.
Sin will be no more
after the blood of the Savior has finished the work of the atonement.
Heb 9:27 And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment
Heb 9:28 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
Men die, and the
next thing they'll know is their place in the judgment- have they accepted
Christ Jesus their Sacrifice or failed to do so?
Christ Jesus will
bear the sins of MANY, but not all, because not all want Him to bear their
sins. Those who LOOK for Him will see Him when He returns SIN defeated, the
sacrifice applied fully, the judging of all completed. Those who see Him will
witness the results of their salvation!
Now, right now,
right this moment, our Savior is in the Heavenly Sanctuary - when His work as
our High Priest is over He will come to take those who are His back to heaven
with Him.
Dan 12:1 And
at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the
children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall
be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Dan 12:2 And
many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:3 And
they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that
turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
May we witness the
return of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST as we are DELIVERED by HIM!
All glory, praise
and honor, all thanksgiving unto our GOD, now and forever!!!!!!!
