As long as the temple stood, it signified the continuation of the Old Covenant. Hebrews 9:8-9 refers to the age that was passing away as the new covenant was being established (Hebrews 8:13).
Habang nakatayo ang templo, tanda iyon ng pagpapatuloy ng Lumang Tipan. Tinukoy ng Hebreo 9:8-9 na lumipas na ang panahon ng Luma at itinatag naman ang Bago (Hebreo 8:13).
