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:
Hebrews 9:24
"Our High Priest stands by the MERCY-SEAT (the top of the ark), and here he offers his blood,
--not merely for the cleansing of the sanctuary,
--but also for the pardon of iniquity and transgression.
But while we call men to this open door,
--and point them to the blood of Christ, offered for us at the mercy-seat,
--we would remind them of the law of GOD beneath that mercy-seat, which made the death of God’s beloved Son necessary in order that guilty man might be pardoned.
The third angels message,
--with the commandments of God
--and the faith of Jesus,
gives the last message of mercy, while our High Priest ministers for us before the ark containing the commandments."
