"Hebrews 9:24 reads:
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
This verse says Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands.
The words “made with hands” is translated from the Greek word “cheiropoiētos” which means, “manufactured of human construction.”
This means Christ did not enter the earthly sanctuary which was made by humans, but that rather he entered into the Heavenly Sanctuary which was made by God in the heavens.
Notice that the earthly sanctuary was a “figure” of the true.
The Greek word for “figure” means “representative.”
The earthly sanctuary therefore, was a representative of the “true,” the heavenly Sanctuary.
