Christ Entered Into Heaven

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

God’s command for Israel to build the Tabernacle in the wilderness in Sinai and later the Temple in Jerusalem provided a picture of the presence of God with His people. It is a signification of the ultimate destination of the people of God in the presence of God in heaven.

The final revelation of God to His people was to send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to enter human history. Jesus is the exact representation of God, He was the express image of the Person of God (Hebrews 1:2). The purpose of Jesus’ first coming was to bring salvation to all mankind who will turn to Him for the forgiveness of their sins.

The writer of Hebrews explained well in Hebrews 9:26-28 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
