How many times did Christ enter the holy place?

Christ entered the holy place once, not repeatedly, by His own blood rather than the blood of goats and calves, thereby obtaining eternal redemption for us. His entry was into the heavenly tabernacle, not the earthly one made with hands.

Les teaches that the holy place Christ entered is the heavenly tabernacle, the very throne room of God, not the earthly tabernacle or Solomon's temple. The ancient high priest went in and sprinkled blood on the mercy seat, but Christ did the same in heaven. Verse 12 says He entered in once into the holy place by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. The back room behind the veil was called the holy of holies, but Christ went into the one in heaven as our high priest.

Hebrews 9:12

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
