The Holy House of God.

 The Holy House of God.  

IT'S REAL!

Yes, I shouted, and I'll shout it again. IT'S REAL!

The earthly sanctuary was real, we have proof of that in Jerusalem today, the remnants of it exist there right now. Proven historical data details the sanctuary. The Bible itself reveals the origin of the sanctuary, it's reason for existing, the workings of it, and the demise of its earthly purpose. Once the ultimate sacrifice had been made, no other blood sacrifice, no other sanctuary sacrifice had any purpose. The blood of our Savior was shed and not a single other sacrifice could take the place of the blood of God in sacrifice ever again. The power of the blood of Christ is the greatest of all, and that is why the earthly lost its purpose and the heavenly purpose took over, the original sanctuary. 

Heb 9:1  Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 

Heb 9:2  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 

Heb 9:3  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 

Heb 9:4  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 covenant; 

Heb 9:5  And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 

Heb 9:6  Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 

Heb 9:7  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: 

Heb 9:8  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: 

Heb 9:9  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; 

Heb 9:10  Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 

A greater, more perfect tabernacle- the heavenly!

Heb 9:11  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; 

By His own blood He entered the holiest of all places where God, His Father dwelled.

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.

Christ, our High Priest!  Right NOW He is in the presence of the FATHER pleading His spilled blood to save us sinners! He is pleading for us to be reunited to God through HIS perfect sacrifice. He alone is WORTHY! By HIS grace we are saved! We MUST afflict our souls as our SAVIOR makes the case for each of us who believe on Him. Afflict our souls, the day of our atonement is a very long day.

More on this tomorrow by the grace of our LORD and SAVIOR!
