He really wanted people to think about Jesus being crucified and resurrected. In the temple, the priests made sacrifices using the blood of animals. The temple was only a copy of the tabernacle in heaven (see: Hebrews 8:5-6). The heavenly tabernacle required a “much better sacrifice” than the blood of animals. It required Jesus to die. This is because only the blood of Jesus cleanses a person’s conscience. The blood of Jesus cleanses a person from all uncleanness. -See: [Clean and Unclean](../articles/cleanunclean.md); [Crucify (Crucifixion)](../articles/crucify.md); [Resurrect (Resurrection)](../articles/resurrect.md) ; [Temple](../articles/temple.md); [Priest (Priesthood)](../articles/priest.md); Sacrifice; Tabernacle; Heaven; Conscience +See: [Clean and Unclean](../articles/cleanunclean.md); [Crucify (Crucifixion)](../articles/crucify.md); [Resurrect (Resurrection)](../articles/resurrect.md) ; [Temple](../articles/temple.md); [Priest (Priesthood)](../articles/priest.md); Sacrifice; [Tabernacle](../articles/tabernacle.md); [Heaven](../articles/heaven.md); [Conscience](../articles/conscience.md) ### Why did the author write that Jesus entered heaven “to appear now in God’s presence for us”? The author wrote that Jesus entered heaven "to appear now in God's presence for us". He wrote this so people would know that Jesus continually speaks to God the Father for Chrsitians (see: Hebrews 7:25). When the high priest served in the Temple, he only entered into the most holy place once every year. This was to take the blood of the atoning sacrifice into the most holy place. It was to sprinkle the blood there to atone for the sins of the people. He carried with him a censer filled with coals and incense. This was like a veil to hide the priest’s face from God's presence. Jesus, however, entered into the heavenly tabernacle after he was resurrected. He is in the very presence of God the Father, face to face. So, Jesus continually speaks to God for Christians. -See: Messiah (Christ); Heaven; Intercede (Intercession); High Priest; Tabernacle; Atone (Atonement); Resurrect (Resurrection); [Temple](../articles/temple.md); Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies); Sacrifice; [Sin](../articles/sin.md); Presence of God; God the Father +See: [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md); [Heaven](../articles/heaven.md); [Intercede (Intercession)] (../articles/intercede.md) ; High Priest; [Tabernacle](../articles/tabernacle.md); [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Resurrect (Resurrection)](../articles/resurrect.md) ; [Temple](../articles/temple.md); Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies); Sacrifice; [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Presence of God](../articles/presenceofgod.md); [God the Father](../articles/godfather.md) ### Why did the author write “since the beginning of the world”?
