Hebrews 9:9

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:9-10

Which is a parable of the time then present; or, unto the present time, as in the Greek. By the present time, according to the common exposition, is not meant the time of the new law, as some would have it, but the time of the former law; so that the sense is, which parable or type was a representation of things as they were to be performed, and to last during the time of the law, which was before present. --- According to which. Some understand, according to which time; others, according to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:6-10

6-10 The apostle goes on to speak of the Old Testament services. Christ, having undertaken to be our High Priest, could not enter into heaven till he had shed his blood for us; and none of us can enter, either into God's gracious presence here, or his glorious presence hereafter, but by the blood of Jesus. Sins are errors, great errors, both in judgment and practice; and who can understand all his errors? They leave guilt upon the conscience, not to be washed away but by the blood of Christ. We... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-99

Hebrews 9 CHAPTER 8 ends with the ominous words, “ready to vanish away.” Thus it was that the Holy Spirit, who inspired these words, prepared the minds of the Jewish disciples for the disappearance of their venerated religious system, which came to pass within a very few years by the destruction of Jerusalem. The temple being destroyed, the priesthood slain, the sacrifices stopped, Judaism has become but the pale and bloodless shadow of its former self. And in itself, and at its best, it was... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 9:6-10

The ministry of the Old Testament priests imperfect: v. 6. Now, when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. v. 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; v. 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; v. ... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-10

the Imperfect Way of Approach to God Hebrews 9:1-10 With careful enumeration each item of the Tabernacle furniture is specified, because of each there is a spiritual equivalent in the unseen, spiritual Temple to which we belong. The veil that screened the Most Holy Place and forbade entrance, save once a year, taught that fellowship with God was not fully open. Ignorance, unbelief, unpreparedness of heart still weave a heavy veil which screens God from the soul’s gaze. The altar of incense... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 9:1-28

Because of the better priesthood and the better covenant a better worship is established. First, the sanctuary is described. Christ is set forth as the One who has entered into a greater Tabernacle through a greater service. His entry into the Holy Place is "once ' for all," because He has for ever dealt with sin. The superiority of the sacrifice is emphasized, for it is able to "cleanse the conscience from dead works to serve the living God." The words used here to describe the central... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-10

A Consideration of The Old Ordinances Under Which Men Were Barred From Entering The Holy Presence of God. They Had To Worship From Afar Using Things of No Lasting Validity (Hebrews 9:1-10 ) Hebrews 9:1, ‘Now even the first covenant had ordinances of divine ministry and its holy sanctuary of this world.’ Even under the first covenant there were ‘ordinances of divine ministry’, and a ‘holy sanctuary’ (hagion). And they were admittedly genuine. But they were nevertheless ‘of this world’, they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:9-10

‘Which is a figure for the time present, according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect, in the matter of meats and drinks and divers washings, carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation (making straight).’ So exclusion from the Holy of Holies was a ‘parable’, a figure, an illustration, an acted out prophecy, speaking to ‘the present time’, to those who had not, as Christians, entered the ‘age to come’,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-14

Hebrews 9:1-2 Chronicles : . The two ministries are now contrasted, in order to show that the OT institutions were imperfect, and pointed beyond themselves to that real access to God which we have obtained through Christ. Hebrews 9:1-Deuteronomy : . The first covenant was associated with a system of worship ordained by God Himself, although its sanctuary was “ of this world”— i.e. composed of visible and material elements. A Tabernacle was set up which consisted of two parts, divided by a... read more
