The Better Tabernacle – Hebrews 9 This isnt a regular written article, but an observation list. I tend to make a lot of these as I read. I have discovered that it greatly adds to grasping the thought and meaning of the text. For this list I have filled in some verbs to help make the point but usually I dont. Notice how much of the message of the New Testament is contained within this one chapter. Jesus is the Christ – 11, 14, 24, 28 He is our High Priest - 11 He entered and ministers in the Greater ‘tent’ – [tabernacle – later the Temple] - 11 It is the True Holy of Holies - 12, 24 The NEW is the ‘greater and more perfect tent’ - 11 It is Heaven ITSELF - 24 The old covenant things were copies - 23, 24 – they were symbolic - 9 They were intended only to serve ‘until the time of reformation’ - 10 Jesus ‘has appeared at the end of the ages’ - 26 He is Now in The presence of God - 24 The great sacrifice is the blood of Christ - 14, 12 With this great sacrifice: He is securing eternal redemption - 12 He redeems them from the transgressions - 15 He can purify our conscience - 14 We may receive the promised eternal inheritance - 15 He is our Mediator - 15 He is the mediator of the New Covenant - 15 The covenant Takes effect only at death - 17 His sacrificial death is Offered ONCE for ALL - 12, 26, 27, 28, never to be repeated. He Will appear a 2nd time - 28 This will NOT TO deal with Sin - 28 BUT to ‘save those who are eagerly waiting for Him” - 28 This is an impressive chapter. Hugh DeLong
