 2. WHAT THE HIGH PRIEST DOES IN
THE FIRST APARTMENT
- Holy Spirit brought conviction of sin to sinner. Lev. 4:14, 23, 28; Jn.16:8.
- Sinner confessed sin, laying his hand on head of sin offering. Lev. 4:4, 15, 24, 29, 33.
- Sinner then killed the innocent victim. Lev. 4:4, 24, 29, 33.
- Priest bore the sin into sanctuary. Lev. 10:16-18. (This was done either by priest eating some of the flesh of the sin offering
or by bringing the blood into sanctuary. Lev. 6:30; 4:5-7).
- When sin had thus been brought into sanctuary, sinner was forgiven. Lev. 4:20, 26, 31, 35.
- Without shedding of blood, no forgiveness. Heb. 9:22.
- Christ's blood shed for remission of sins. Mt. 26:28.
- Christ is true or antitypical Lamb of God.
Jn. 1:29.
- As earthly priest bore sin in his own body typically, so Christ bare our sins in His own body antitypically. 1 Pet. 2:24.
- Christ offers His own blood in heavenly sanctuary. Heb. 8:3; 9:12-14.
- Ministry in first apartment accomplished forgiveness of sins in type but did not accomplish blotting out of sin. Heb.
9:6, 7, 9.
- First apartment ministry continued daily through year. Heb.9:6.
