Hebrews 9:23,24 - He entered heaven itself

9:23

So the earthly tabernacle, which was only a copy of the heavenly things, had to be purified with blood, with sacrifices. The real tabernacle, the heavenly tabernacle is far superior to the earthly one. So this too needed to be purified, but with “much better sacrifices”. In fact there is only one sacrifice, Jesus Christ Himself. Note that the earthly tabernacle being a copy has two implications. The one that is explicit in Hebrews is that it is only a copy, it is not the real thing. The second is implicit, and that is since it is a copy, there are things that we can learn from it. It is a mistake to reject the Law and all its blood on the grounds that it has now been superseded.

9:24

Christ did not enter an earthly sanctuary, but entered heaven itself. The Levitical priest entered the Most Holy Place on behalf of the people. Jesus has entered heaven itself, the presence of God the Father, to represent us. He appears in God’s presence on our behalf.
