21 The Tabernacle of Heaven in Earth

This section of scripture gives a glimpse into Heaven. The apostle continues on with his discussion of how the earthly Tabernacle was a pattern of the same things in Heaven. Continuing with this thought he then says that the blood of the sacrifices in the earthly Tabernacle were sprinkled on both the Tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry used within the Tabernacle. Christ who needed to purify the Heavenly Tabernacle had to do it with the perfect sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. First it is important to realize what the earthly Tabernacle had within it and how it represented the one in Heaven. Moses was given a vision and detailed instructions of the Heavenly Tabernacle and he is to build the earthly Tabernacle in the exact manner. This then is the essence of this Section of Hebrews 9:23–24. God wants us to realize that His dwelling place on earth is modeled after the place in Heaven.
