I was looking at these verses
today. Hebrews 10:19-20
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the
holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Do you see the allusions to the temple in these
verses? Paul seems to be writing to the Melchezidek priesthood. Men
who have taken covenants in the temple. Why then is it an epistle
to the Hebrews? Maybe a man who has taken upon himself covenants and the
priesthood is termed a “Hebrew” . Melchezidek was the first Hebrew.
He real name was Eber which mean Hebrew.
Anyways, Paul seems to be saying that we enter into
the Holiest (the Celestial Room) by the blood of Jesus (cleansed and
sanctified). The new and living way is to pass through the veil which is
Jesus’ flesh. Wow. So, the veil represents Christ’s body.
These verses have all sorts of implications.
