Come to the Holy of Holies
Revelation 21:16 says about New Jerusalem, “the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.” New Jerusalem is a cube. The other cubes in the Bible are the holy of holies in the tabernacle and in the temple. This shows that the entire city of New Jerusalem is the eternal holy of holies.
Hebrews 9:7, because of the fall of Adam, and awaiting the coming redemption of Jesus Christ, tells us, “into the second, only the high priest enters, once a year and not without blood.” The second here is the Old Testament holy of holies. Only one person could enter and only once a year. But now, with the redemption, we are all able to enter.
Hebrews 4:14-15 mentions the ascension of Jesus, our great High Priest. His ascension indicates that His redemptive work is complete. Therefore verse 4:16 encourages us, “Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.”
The throne of grace is in the holy of holies. Let us come forward, not hesitating. Let us come forward to the present spiritual foretaste of New Jerusalem, where we will be constantly for eternity!
New Jerusalem is the Holy of Holies
In the Holy of Holies, in New Jerusalem, in the Triune God
Come Forward to the Throne of Grace
