My last post summarized the first two stages of this ceremony. During this time, the priests had to remain in the tabernacle precincts. In order to set the high priest and his sons apart for service, God commanded that they participate in a public consecration ceremony that lasted a week. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.” –Hebrews 9:24-26 Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.
