Hebrews 9 - Once for all

The sanctuary is invoked to further expand the revolutionary theme of Hebrews.

This topic has been important in various ways throughout the history of the Seventh-day Adventist church, and has also been associated with painful events (starting perhaps with a need to make sense of a failed prediction of Christ's return). We attempt to read the chapter with fresh eyes and are intrigued by the specific contrasts that are made between the Israelite Tabernacle and the Heavenly Sanctuary - particularly the lack of any need to repeat.
