High Priest Forever

The New Testament applies Tabernacle language and imagery from the Hebrew Bible to the Body of Christ, the Habitation of God’s Holy Spirit . Terms from the Tabernacle and the worship rituals of Leviticus are applied in the New Testament to the New Covenant community inaugurated by Jesus Christ. What the Tabernacle prefigured has become reality in the Church, which is “ the habitation of God in Spirit .”

Jésus est le véritable sanctuaire préfiguré par le tabernacle, et il est le Souverain Sacrificateur “pour toujours “ qui y sert en notre nom . Jésus est le Sanctuaire de Dieu préfiguré dans les structures religieuses et les rituels de culte de l'Ancien Israël, le lieu où la présence et la gloire de Dieu résident et se manifestent pour que tous les hommes puissent les voir. Il est aussi le seul et unique Souverain Sacrificateur qui sert de médiateur entre le Ciel et la Terre pour son peuple dans “ le Vrai Tabernacle dressé par le Seigneur .”

Jesus is the real sanctuary foreshadowed by the tabernacle, and he is the High Priest “forever” who serves in it on our behalf . Jesus is the Sanctuary of God foreshadowed in the religious structures and worship rituals of Ancient Israel, t he place where God’s presence and glory reside and are manifested for all men to see. He is also the one and only High Priest who mediates between Heaven and Earth for his people in “ the True Tabernacle pitched by the Lord .”

Jesus is the High Priest of the Heavenly Sanctuary “made without hands” foreshadowed by the Tabernacle in the wilderness . Jesus is our glorious High Priest who serves in the “ True Tent pitched by the Lord and not man ,” the greater tabernacle and place of worship foreshadowed by the religious structures and rituals of Israel. The Son of God has become our “ priest forever ” who ministers for us “ at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens ” – (Hebrews 8:1-2).
