~ atone lot US. heb. y ~. But
INTO the second wentthe high priest alone,
once every year, not without blood, which
he offered for himself, and for the errors
ofthe people: The Holy Ghost this signi-
Tying, that the way into the hottest of all
was not yet made manifest, while as the
first tabernacle was vet standing; which
W0sa figure for the time then present, in
which were offered both gifts and sacrl6-
ces, thatcould not make him that did the
service perfect, as pertaining to the con-
science" Verses IL, ~. 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 ofthis building; neither by the
/ blood Of goats nor calves, but by his own
blood, he entered in once into the holy
place, procuring las Stuart translates it)
eternaI redemption for US.
In this passage the apostle shows that
the hol Y place within the veil was intend
ed TO represent in a figure, the divine
! presence in heaven, and that the annual
entrance Of the high priest into this holy
! place, to make atonement with the blood
of slain beasts, was desi gncd as a repre-
sentation, also of the entrance Of Christ,
with his own blood, into heaven itself, and
! Of his officiating there, as the great high
! priest, before the throne of God to make
atOnement for sinners.
I" 1t is, then, in the heavenly world in
the Tabernacle not made with hands, that
the offering Of our great high priest is
made There he presented himselfas the
victim that had been slain. Heb. 10:
lO-12 l:3 7: 27 Rev S: o.
! Eph. 5: 2. And there his blood, that
had been shed, is virtually offered TO make
! atonenIent; not iter0Ny, but spiritually;
|. G., IN manner congruous with the spir-
uuaI temple in which he ministers. -
! (Sluart On Heb: p. 436.) "AIl that is
material is only a figure, or emblem, Of
that which is spiritual or hearenIy.' -
| (Stuart on Heb, p. 435)
That the atonemcnt is made in heaven.
is confirmed by what is said in Heb. 9:
%, "a, where, after showing how the tab
ernacle and vessels Of the ministry were
purified with blood, the Apostle says g It
was necessary, that the p0ttcrns of things
in the heavens should be purified with
these; but the heavenly things Themselves
with better sacrifices than these. For
Christ is not entered into the holy places
: made with hands, which are the figures
of the true but into hcarcn itself, now to
appear in the presence Of God for u.s.
This appearing of Christ in the pres
ence Of God in heaven for us is the ACT,
of which the entrance of the high priest
INTO the holy place, and his sprinkIing of
= blood upon the mercy-scat, was the type.
? Christ entered into heaven itself, as the
Fl high-priest entered into the holy places
which were figures of the true, that IS, OIL
e the heavenly. The plural places is prob
E ably used, in reference to the fact that the
holy place, prepared at first in the taber-
nacie, was afterwards transferred to tho
temple Now, as atoncment, under the
=, LeviticaI priesthood, was made by SPHINX
= ling the blood of the victim upon the mtr
f. cy-seat, and before the mercy-$eat, IN the
e holy place, and as the Apostle maniteSt}N
= represents this place as a type OF heaven
d and the entrance of the high-priest into it
st with the blood of slain beasts, as pre-
a figuring the entrance of Christ. with hi
