Then he can certainly be at the Father's right hand in
both the holy places. But Paul bears direct testimony on
this point. He says that Christ is a minister of the sanctuary;
and the word here rendered "sanctuary" (Heb. 8:2) is
in the plural number, and signifies the "holy places." This
none can deny. It is by the Douay Bible rendered, "the holies;"
and by Macknight, "holy places." It may therefore be
justly concluded (1) that our Lord can be a minister of the
two holy places, and yet be at the Father's right hand; and
(2) that he must minister in both the holy places, or
Paul's testimony that he is a minister of the holies (plural)
is not true; for a priest that should minister simply
in the holiest of all, would not be a minister of the holy
places. p. 121, Para. 3, [LOOKING].
6. Again: Heb. 9:8,24 and also 10:19, are by some brought
forward to prove that Christ ministers only in the most
holy place. The first and last of these texts both speak of
the "holiest" as though it were in the singular number; but
it is to be observed that the words thus rendered are not
in the singular, but plural; not "hagia hagion," holy of
holies, as in chapter 9:3, but simply "hagion," holies,
plural, the same as is rendered sanctuary in chapter 8:2.
Also the phrase in chapter 9:12,25, rendered "unto the holy
place," is the same as in verse 24, and should be literally
rendered, "into the holy places" (plural). And the expression,
"heaven itself," in verse 24, is nothing against the
idea that there are two apartments in the heavenly sanctuary;
for they are both, taken together, the center of
Christ's mediatorial work; one is as much "heaven itself"
as the other. These texts, therefore, instead of sustaining
what they are often quoted to prove; viz., that Christ has
but one apartment in which to minister, furnish positive
testimony to the reverse, by showing that there are holy
places in the heavenly sanctuary, and that Jesus ministers
in them both. p. 122, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
A thought as to how the sinner is enabled to appropriate
the sacrifice of Christ in his behalf. Under the type, the
sinner laid his hand upon his offering and confessed over
him his sin for which he desired pardon, and the offering
was then slain and its blood ministered, as has already
been set forth. In this dispensation, Christ is the great
offering, the antitype of all those presented under the
law. He has already shed his blood, being slain by the
