a) Jesus, by His death upon Calvary's cross, fulfilled the Old Testament's Sanctuary's. Here were the and the. Jesus became the sinner's sacrifice; the of God. No longer do people need to offer a lamb to God when they confess their sins. Jesus, the Lamb of God, died for our sins. b) The work of the Sanctuary dealt with the removal (or forgiveness) of sin from the sinner and transferring that sin and its wages (death) to the substitute (the ). The sinner lay his hands on the head of the lamb and confessed his sin. Then the sinner killed the lamb by the Altar of. c) In the Holy Place were the, the and the. Blood from the lamb killed in the Courtyard was then sprinkled before the veil by the in the Holy Place. In this symbolic manner, the fact that sin had been committed and then forgiven was recorded in the Sanctuary. The dwelling place of God thus became defiled by the sins of His people and needed cleansing and reconsecrating. d) The represents Jesus' work of sacrifice and the His work of intercession. The altar of Outreach Ministries Sanctuary 3
represents the death of Jesus; the altar of represents the life of Jesus which we claim as our own when we accept forgiveness. The sinner is reconciled to God through the death of Jesus and saved by His life. e) In the Most Holy Place was the, containing the. (Later it also contained Aaron's rod that had budded and a small pot of manna.) The Ark had a golden lid called the atonement cover, or mercy seat, which covered the Law. Mercy and Law in one piece of furniture indicates how God's justice and mercy are interwoven. On the mercy seat were two and between them was the, God's literal presence on earth. f) The work in the Courtyard and the Holy Place was performed daily, but the work of the Most Holy Place was performed a year, on the Day of. On this day, the High Priest entered the Most Holy Place for the cleansing of the sanctuary which required goats the Lord s goat and the scapegoat, known in Hebrew as. The Lord s goat was sacrificed on the altar of burnt offerings and its blood applied by the High Priest directly to the mercy seat. Then this blood was applied to the altar of incense and the altar of burnt offerings, which on every other day had been sprinkled with blood representing confessed sins. Thus the high priest thereby made atonement for the sanctuary, as well as the Outreach Ministries Sanctuary 4
people, and brought about cleansing of both. While the priest was involved in cleansing the sanctuary, the people observed a Sabbath rest and humbled themselves before God. g) After the sanctuary was cleansed, the High Priest, representing as mediator, took upon himself the sins that had polluted the sanctuary and transferred them to the live scapegoat which was then led away from the camp of God's people into the wilderness, from which it would never return. This action removed the sins of the people that had been symbolically transferred from the repentant believers to the sanctuary through the blood or flesh of the sacrifices of the daily ministry of forgiveness. In this way the sanctuary was cleansed and prepared for another year's work of ministry. h) The Sanctuary has symbolized for us three phases in the ministry of Jesus: His work of completed on the cross. His work of began when He ascended into Heaven and sat down at the right hand of God, and continuing until He comes the second time. His work of final, dealing with the removal of sin, is symbolized by the work of the Most Holy Place, the cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary. Thus the cleansing of the Sanctuary refers to Jesus' final work of judgment in the heavenly Sanctuary. Outreach Ministries Sanctuary 5
