CHRIST IS OUR HIGH PRIEST

 

The text Dan 8.14 the cleansing of the HEAVENLY sanctuary. To understand the meaning and importance of serving Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, consider service in the sanctuary of Earth (copy and the prototype of the sanctuary of heaven).

 

The earthly sanctuary and its purification

The Apostle Paul gives a description of the Sanctuary (Heb 9.1-7).

From the text Exodus 25.1-2,8 shows that God commanded Moses to build the sanctuary. This commandment was given after the Israelites came out of Egypt and into the desert on the way to Canaan.

While in Egypt, they fell into idolatry and lost the correct concept of God, which had their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To see them again on a spiritual high-specification, it was necessary to introduce clear, prototype mass, after which they would come to exponentially better notion about God and his plan of salvation. Communication was arranged by anti-virus applications from two of the most valuable materials in order to draw the eyes and the hearts of the Israelis, Who in great glory was in the sanctuary.

THE VICTIM WAS NOT ABLE TO CLEANSE SINS AND DESTROY THEM. They were only a prototype of Christ's sacrifice for all people. It is an integral part of ceremonial law (Heb 10.1-4, Gal 3.19).

The Bible tells us how was the purification of the people and the sanctuary from sins  Lev 23.27-29) :

Day of Atonement was the great day of judgment. Those who blatantly violate the law of God, was blamed and exterminated. The same that permitted before God and repented of your sins, receive the remission of their sins.

In the 16-th chapter of the book of Leviticus says that on the day before the priest brings the sacrifice for himself and for his house. Being forgiven and cleansed, he proceeded to cleanse the people and the sanctuary.

Usually the sinner sacrificed animal (Lamb, calf, goat, etc.) through which Sin introduced into the sanctuary. This happened every day, and therefore created the need to CLEANSE the Sanctuary (Lev 16.7-23).

The high priest went into «the Saint of saints» with the blood of the first goat and sprinkled it cover the Ark of the Covenant, as satisfying the requirements of the law. Then he symbolized the mediator, has made all the sins of the sanctuary. These sins were pinned on a scapegoat and, thus, the people and the sanctuary were cleaned.

 

Heavenly sanctuary and its purification

When Christ died on the cross, the veil of the Temple in cutted (Matthew 27.50-5 ). This is indicated at the end of the service in the earthly Temple  (Hebrews 1.1-14).

It also points to a direct access to God through Jesus Christ.

So, brethren, having boldness to enter into the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus, by a new and alive, which he opened for us through the curtain. will keep professing wavering, as promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10.19-23

Images of the heavenly temple were showing the apostle John (Rev 11.19, 1.12-13).

Moses and with it took a sample for the construction of the temple and the sanctuary on Earth (Heb 8.5). Christ is in him as high priest and Advocate for his people  (Heb 7.25).

As the sins of the people in ancient times made in the earthly sanctuary, and in the New Testament, our sins when we believe and leave, made by Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.

It clears up after 2300 evenings and mornings. This period ended in 1844.

From Ascension until 1844, Christ was ministering in the first part, and in 1844, moved into the second.

At this time began to hear Three news  (Rev 12-14.7).

 

Before the judgement of the Court of God, all the tribes, tribes and languages will be proclaimed the eternal Gospel and sent a call to repent of sins, accepted before God and seek forgiveness through faith in Christ.

After serving the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, Christ took the sins of the repended people older the culprit of all the sins - devil, which portrayed a scapegoat in the earthly Ministry. Goat forever has been removed from the people; AND THE DEVIL, AND EVERY SIN WILL BE FOREVER REMOVED FROM THE UNIVERSE.
