HEBREWS 9:1-10 Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle

 

Hebrews 9:1-5 – Description of the Earthly Tabernacle

The earthly tabernacle was a shadow of heavenly things (Heb. 8:5)

 

Parts of the Tabernacle

  • Tent
    • First Section (Holy Place)
      • Lampstand

 

  • Table and Bread of the Presence

 

 

  • Second Section (Most Holy Place)
    • Golden Altar of Incense

 

  • Ark of the Covenant
    • Covered on all sides with gold
    • Contains golden urn holding manna
    • Aaron’s staff that budded
    • Tablets of the covenant
    • Above it – cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat

 

Hebrews 9:6-10 – Weakness of the Earthly Tabernacle

  • First section
    • Priests go regularly into
      • Perform their ritual duties

 

  • Second Section
    • High Priest ONLY
    • Once a year
    • Not without taking blood
      • Which he offers for Himself and unintentional sins of the people

 

Weaknesses

  • The way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the 1st section is still standing

 

  • Gifts and Sacrifices cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper

 

  • Regulations for the body (earthly)
