Hebrews 10:19-25 “19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and

since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast

the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one

another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:19-25

I REALLY DON’T KNOW IF I’M SAVED OR LOST

People in our world HAVE AN AWFUL need…

…”HARASSED and HELPLESS,…”

They don’t know: what… why… Helpless…

The WORSHIP of the Jews and THEIR ASSURANCE IN GOD centered around a little tent…

Exodus 25:1-9 “1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me. 3 And this is the

contribution that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, goats' hair, 5 tanned rams' skins, goatskins, acacia wood, 6 oil for the lamps, spices for the

anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. 9 Exactly as I show you

concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.” Exodus 25:1-9

Tabernacle A place for God to meet His people

cut away of the Tabernacle

1 Kings 8:6-7 “6 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place in inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. 7 For the cherubim spread out

their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.” 1 Kings 8:6-7

Leviticus 23:26-29 “26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 "Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation (large gathering of people),

and you shall afflict (humble spirit) yourselves and present a food offering to the Lord. 28 And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 For

whoever is not afflicted (humble spirit) on that very day shall be cut off from his people.”

Leviticus 16:11-14 “11 "Aaron shall present the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. He shall kill the bull as a sin offering for himself. 12 And he shall take a censer

full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil 13 and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the

mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die. 14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of the mercy seat he shall

sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.” Leviticus 16:11-14

Holy Place

…so that the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.”

Day of Atonement *Day of At-One-Ment

Then the High Priest would leave the Most Holy Place…

Atonement = to cover, to wipe out, to cleanse, to appease, and to purge…

Justification = to declare or pronounce one to be righteous or holy before God…

Atonement = to cover, to wipe out, to cleanse, to appease, and to purge… Justification = to declare or pronounce one to be righteous or holy before God… Sanctification = to separate or set apart…

What gave Aaron and each Israelite assurance?

Habakkuk 2:4 “…the righteous will live by his faith.”

Psalms 125:1-2 “1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord

surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.”
