1) The heavenly itself(그 하늘 자체—킹제임스역) is the real sanctuary,
“the great original” (참성소—부조와 선지자 한글판, 357), where the work of redemption is actually in progress.
2)
“according to the pattern (or model) showed (him) in the mount.” Heb. 8:5, KJV.
3) Because
“the holy places” in the earthly sanctuary were
“figures of the true” (참것의 그림자, 개역판) or heavenly sanctuary, Heb. 9:24, some have supposed that the heavenly sanctuary was the pattern shown to Moses.
4) ··· the pattern God showed Moses was a model like the one he was to construct, a
“miniature representation(축소판, 축소 형상, SDABC 2, 741) of the heavenly temple.” 5) ··· , not as types(모형—개정판, 표상—개역판,
롬 5:14) but their antitypes(원형, 실체).
6) The expression here translated
the holy place(성소, 개역판, 킹제임스역), is literally
the holy places,
히 9:12의 성소를 the Most Holy Place(거룩한 곳, 신킹제임스 역), 지성소(새번역)로 씀.
7) 헬라어 원문은 히브리서 8곳 모두를 성소로 칭한다. 영문 킹제임스역은 sanctuary—8:2, 9:2, 13:11, Holiest of all—9:8, 12, holy places—9:24, holy place—9:25, holiest—10:19 이며, 최근 영문 개역 성경은 sanctuary—8:2, 기타 7곳이 holy place로 동일하다 (앤드리어슨 저, 남대극 외 역, 히브리서 주석, 326~327, 삼육대학, 1982).
8) The earthly sanctuary was holy, the heavenly is the
“Holiest of all.” The word translated
“Holiest of all” in Hebrews 9:3, is another word and refers to the most holy place of the earthly sanctuary.
9) The
“greater and more perfect” tabernacle, which God
“pitched,” ——the true or real tabernacle,
“the great original,” was composed of real living beings——
10) That which God showed Moses was merely a
“pattern”, a
“shadow”, a
“figure”, a
“miniature representation”, a model, of the true, with explicitness directions for making all parts exactly like the model shown him.
11)in the living sanctuary,
“the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands” ,
“the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.” Heb. 9:11; 8:2.
12)
Seventh, and most important of all, that the final work for man's redemption by the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the angels, is now in progress in the heavenly sanctuary, and will soon close.
