What blood did Jesus enter the heavenly tabernacle with?
Jesus entered the heavenly tabernacle not with the blood of goats and calves, as Israel’s high priest did, but with His own blood. He entered once into the holy place, the very presence of God, and presented His own blood, obtaining eternal redemption.
Les explains that the tabernacle built at Sinai was patterned after the floor plan in glory, but this greater, more perfect tabernacle was not made by Jewish craftsmen, was untouched by human hands, and was not of this building—better translated creation. It is not on earth but in heaven. Therefore Jesus did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, as Israel’s high priest did. He entered once, not yearly, into the holy place—the very presence of God at the mercy seat—and there presented His own blood, obtaining eternal redemption.
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.
