The Holy Place~Jesus is The New Covenant In case you're not
familiar with exactly what went on in the tabernacle under the old
covenant, the author breaks it down for you. Back in Exodus, God
gave Moses the instructions to make a tent. Inside the tent there
was a lampstand (or menorah), a table, and some bread. The author
calls this "the Holy Place." There was also a curtain or veil that
separated out another section of the tent: the Holy of Holies. This
was the V.I.P. section that held the Ark of the Covenant. The only
person who could ever enter this area was the high priest, and he
could only peek in once a year on Yom Kipper. Once inside, he would
sprinkle the blood on the Ark of the Covenant. The idea was that
this ritual would help the priest and the people atone for their
sins and get right with God again. Needless to say, the author is
pretty critical of all this. When Jesus sacrificed himself,
he didn't just purify people's bodies; he also worked his magic on
our minds, spirit, and conscience. Now, believers are freed from
performing "dead works" and they can put their faith in a God who's
alive. Think of it this way, says Hebrews: Christians are God's
kids and they're entitled to inherit all the good things he has.
But generally, you can't claim an inheritance until someone dies.
So it's kind of like God wrote a will for humanity and then, when
Jesus died, we got to cash in. Bottom line: someone has to die. The
author is pretty sure that you need a little blood spilled to start
up a new covenant. When he died, Jesus waltzed right into
Heaven and put in a good word for all of humanity with the Big
Guy. People only get to set foot on this Earth once, but
Jesus will come back. Last time, he sacrificed himself for our
sins. The next time he makes an appearance, says the author, he'll
save all the people who had faith in him.
