REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Five -The Temple Sanctuary - Continue

 The apostle Paul explains that the curtain of the tabernacle, separating the Most Holy from the Holy compartment, pictures Jesus' flesh.  When Jesus sacrificed his life, this curtain was rent two, showing that Jesus' flesh was no longer a barrier to his entry into Jehovah's presence in heaven.  On the basis of Jesus' sacrifice, his anointed underpriest  who died faithful would, in due course, also pass into the heavens.  (Matthew 27:50, 51; Hebrews 9:3; 10:19, 20) Paul points out, too, that the continues sacrifices of animals at the tabernacle pointed forward  to Jesus'  one sacrifice of his perfect life.  The altar of sacrifice in the courtyard represented Jehovah's provision, according to  his will, for accepting Jesus' in behalf of the "many" - of the anointed and, later, of the other sheep - who wold be "earnestly looking for him for their salvation." -Hebrews 9:28; 10:9, 10; John 10:16.
