God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
--by whom also he made the worlds;
--Who being the brightness of his glory,
--and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 1:1-3/9:23
"THE epistle of Paul to the Hebrews ....
---This book represents Christ and his work as no other of the epistles do.---
It is a commentary upon the typical system, designed to carry the mind from the dead figures of the old covenant, up to the living facts of the new.
---The Jewish sacrifices in which blood was shed were a type of the sacrifice and precious blood of Christ.
---The Jewish sanctuary, with its two ministrations, was a type of the true tabernacle in Heaven where Christ ministers in both the holy and the most holy places."
