Hebrews 9:9-10
9:9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.
9:10 They served only for matters of food and drink
and various washings; they are external regulations
imposed until the new order came.
Hebrews 9:24
9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation
of the true sanctuary
– but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.
Hebrews 8:5
8:5 The place where they serve is
a sketch
and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, “
See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain.”
Hebrews 10:1
Concluding Exposition: Old and New Sacrifices Contrasted
10:1 For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.
Colossians 2:17
2:17 these are only
the shadow of the things to come, but the reality
is Christ!
