WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:08.240 Chapter 9 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, 00:08.580 --> 00:09.960 and a worldly sanctuary. 00:10.700 --> 00:16.140 For there was a tabernacle made, the first, wherein was the candlestick, 00:16.360 --> 00:20.920 and the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary. 00:21.580 --> 00:25.900 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holiest of all, 00:26.260 --> 00:31.360 which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with 00:31.360 --> 00:37.380 gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, 00:37.680 --> 00:41.680 and the tables of the covenant, and over it the cherubims of glory 00:41.680 --> 00:45.840 shadowing the mercy seat, of which we cannot now speak particularly. 00:46.880 --> 00:52.200 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first 00:52.200 --> 00:55.280 tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 00:56.100 --> 01:02.940 But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year, not without blood, 01:03.040 --> 01:06.820 which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people. 01:08.200 --> 01:12.960 The Holy Ghost, this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was 01:12.960 --> 01:19.100 not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing, which was a 01:19.100 --> 01:23.120 figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and 01:23.120 --> 01:28.420 sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect as pertaining to 01:28.420 --> 01:34.860 the conscience, which stood only in meats, and drinks, and diverse washings, 01:34.860 --> 01:39.520 and carnal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation. 01:40.180 --> 01:46.600 But Christ being come, and high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more 01:46.600 --> 01:52.460 perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building, 01:52.460 --> 01:59.120 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once 01:59.120 --> 02:04.200 into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 02:04.820 --> 02:10.220 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling the 02:10.220 --> 02:16.220 unclean, sanctifyeth to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood 02:16.220 --> 02:21.580 of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, 02:22.020 --> 02:26.220 purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. 02:27.000 --> 02:32.800 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, 02:33.260 --> 02:37.680 for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, 02:38.260 --> 02:42.260 they which are called, might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 02:43.260 --> 02:48.440 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 02:49.300 --> 02:54.620 For a testament is of force after men are dead, otherwise it is of no strength at 02:54.620 --> 02:56.260 all while the testator liveth. 02:56.900 --> 03:01.400 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 03:01.920 --> 03:06.820 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, 03:07.260 --> 03:12.700 he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, 03:12.980 --> 03:18.080 and sprinkled both the book and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the 03:18.080 --> 03:20.760 testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 03:21.380 --> 03:26.080 Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the 03:26.080 --> 03:26.440 ministry. 03:27.040 --> 03:32.120 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of 03:32.120 --> 03:33.620 blood is no remission. 03:34.380 --> 03:38.640 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should 03:38.640 --> 03:44.040 be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices 03:44.040 --> 03:45.020 than these. 03:45.640 --> 03:50.520 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the 03:50.520 --> 03:56.280 figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of 03:56.280 --> 03:57.520 God for us. 03:58.200 --> 04:02.620 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into 04:02.620 --> 04:05.320 the holy place every year with blood of others. 04:05.780 --> 04:10.100 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world. 04:10.600 --> 04:16.000 But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the 04:16.000 --> 04:17.420 sacrifice of himself. 04:18.060 --> 04:23.240 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, 04:23.860 --> 04:27.440 so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. 04:27.880 --> 04:34.020 And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
