to officiate as priest in the sanctuary and in that true tent of worship which not man but the Lord himself set up.
Verse Concepts
Even the first agreement provided regulations for worship, and a sanctuary that was fully equipped. For a tent was erected, with the lamp and the table and the presentation bread in the outer part, which was called the sanctuary. And beyond the second curtain, in the part called the inner sanctuary, read more.
stood the gold incense-altar and the chest that contained the agreement, entirely covered with gold, with the gold jar in it that held the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets containing the agreement; and above the chest were the winged creatures of the Divine Presence overshadowing the lid on which the blood was sprinkled??f which I cannot now speak in detail. With these arrangements for worship, the priests used constantly to go into the outer part of the tent, in the performance of their rites, but only the high priest could enter the inner part, and he but once a year, and never without taking some victim's blood, to offer on his own behalf and for the sins committed through ignorance by the people. In all this the holy Spirit was seeking to show that there was no free access to the sanctuary while the outer tent was still standing. And all this looked toward the present time and was symbolic of the fact that the mere offering of material gifts and sacrifices cannot inwardly qualify the worshiper to approach God, since they have to do only with food and drink and various washings??aterial regulations in force only until the time for the new order. But when Christ came, as the high priest of the better system under which we live, he went once for all, through that greater, more perfect tent of worship not made by human hands nor a part of our material creation, into the sanctuary, taking with him no blood of goats and calves, but his own, and secured our permanent deliverance.
