The Superior Sanctuary The Inferior Sanctuary
Hebrews 9:1-10: KJV 1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of
divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the
first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is
called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called
the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant
overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and
Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the
cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak
particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always
into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second
went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered
for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying,
that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first
tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in
which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the
service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood only in meats
and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until
the time of reformation.
