Most Holy Place

Here is a recent Wednesday night prayer meeting about the Most Holy Place and the Arc of the Covenant which contains the 10 commandments. The Ten commandments were written by Jesus and it is the only literature in the Bible that was done by Jesus.

Daniel 8:13-14
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”
¹⁴ And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”

Hebrews 8:1-8

The New Priestly Service

1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, in as much as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

God wants all man to come to repentance. The Sanctuary is where Israel sacrificed young animals to seek forgiveness before Jesus. People no longer have to sacrifice animals to seek forgiveness because Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself on the Cross for us.

The Arc of the Covenant is a Throne of Mercy. Not once was a High Priest found dead in the Most Holy Place.

Hebrews 9:23-28
Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Hebrews 7:25-28
25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; 27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

1 John 2:1

1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Revelation 3:5
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Jesus is our Judge and Justifier as He is in the Most Holy Place now.
Jesus is our Intercessor as represented by the 7 Candles.
The Laver in the Sanctuary represents Jesus baptism.
The Altar with a Burnt Offering represents Calvary and His Death on the cross for our sin.
