"The work of mediation in the earthly sanctuary was a representation, in
figure, of the real work of Christ, the true High Priest, as He pleads
before His Father, in the heavenly sanctuary, for those who, with truly
contrite hearts, confess their sins to Him. (Heb. 8:4,5; 9:13,14,24)
...as in the typical service, there is a pardon for the repentant
believer; and in the closing of the service (cleansing of the
sanctuary), a blotting out of sins, which blotting out is a final
decision of the cases of the righteous.
-*- In the type, the sins blotted
out one year were remembered again the next year, (But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. Heb. 10:3) because
the blood of beasts did not actually take away their sins.
-*- In the
blotting out to be accomplished by Christ, the sins of His people will
be remembered no more.
So this final work of Christ, as the true
High Priest, in blotting out the sins of God's people -the cleansing of
the heavenly sanctuary - must be the passing of judgment on their cases."
