Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9"According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9
God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven?
Copy of the True Tabernacle
The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also?
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5
Jesus Christ our High Priest
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16
Lamb of God
If there is a heavenly sanctuary and a High Priest ,then there must be a sacrifice . Jesus is the sacrifice.
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
Offered up Himself
But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.
12.He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:12,13
Old testament Blue Print
As we saw in the article all the ceremonial services that were in relation to the Tabernacle were a "shadow" , or representation of the true reality. The old testament reveal God's plan of salvation. So if we truly study the old testament sacrificial service we will find the blue print of human redemption. In the next study titled the feasts days of the sanctuary, we will go over what the true reality stand for and where we are now in human history.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in
Christ.Colossians 2:17
