Today’s Reading
The Epistle to the Hebrews
Chapter 9:6-10
The Limitations of the Earthly Sanctuary
Greetings and good morning in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the Priest went always into the first Tabernacle, and accomplished the service.
7 But into the second went the high Priest alone, once every year, not without blood which he offered for himself, and for the ignorances of the people.
8 Whereby the holy Ghost this signified, that the way into the Holiest of all was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing,
9 Which was a figure for that present time, wherein were offered gifts and sacrifices that could not make holy, concerning the conscience, him that did the service,
10 Which only stood in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal rites, which were enjoined, until the time of reformation. (a)
(a) Editor’s thought - The yearly sacrifice was more the cleansing of sins as committed by men, in so far as they related to things of a more worldly nature, as noted above in vs 10. It could not and did not remit original sin.
