Actually 1:3 says He already made purification.
Heb 1:3 b After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high
That there refers to the sacrifice.
Moreover, the entrance into God's presence in the Day of Atonement to present the blood is what happened in the sanctuary. And it is that portion, the portion in the sanctuary, that Adventists say is fulfilled by the IJ. Adventists have invented some work of the priest in the sanctuary investigating. It is not there. He presented blood in God's presence. That is what Jesus did as well.
The blood presented in the sanctuary, both the HP and MHP was used to clean the sanctuary of the sins of the people. And that was only the first part. The sanctuary wasn't cleansed until the sins were removed. That was the process. At what point have the sins been removed?
There is nothing in Leviticus that shows the priest investigating books, or investigating blood in the sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. You have substituted a totally different thing than what the text says. The text says presentation of blood for atonement.
It was a shadow. The high priest on earth was an example in part of our High Priest in heaven. We received a glimpse of that heavenly work through the earthly pattern. Not the full thing.
He presents blood before God. That is what Jesus did. That is the portion IN the sanctuary.
We don't disagree that Jesus entered into the sanctuary. Do you think Jesus literally sprinkled His blood in the sanctuary in heaven? Prey tell how did it get there? Who collected it when He was killed? Surely you must agree that the act on earth was symbolic of something that would occur in heaven.
Also, the atonement for the holy place (and the people, and himself) and the altar, all happened before the scapegoat.
Lev 16 shows that a final sacrifice was made once the scapegoat was removed carrying the sins of the people. The text says that the final sacrifice was for the people and the priest for atonement.
Now did the scapegoat still play a role? Yes, but it is not in the sanctuary, which is what Adventists apply to the IJ.
What do you mean it didn't play a role in the sanctuary? So all the sacfifices played a role in the cleansing of the sanctuary but the scapegoat didn't? That doesn't make sense. If it wasn't part of the process, it wouldn't have been needed.
If you go just by the type, the scapegoat would happen when He leaves the sanctuary. However, I don't intend to try and interpret what the NT does not interpret regarding the scapegoat. However, the portion that happens in the sanctuary already happened. And that was presentation of blood in the presence of God.
Yes, the scapegoat happens when He leaves the sanctuary. When that occurs the sins that are polluting the sanctuary will be removed thus cleansing it. Again, you can't take part of the process that suits you and leave the rest of it out. Also, Hebrews isn't trying to interpret the day of atonement service. It's simply trying to prove to the Jewish reader that Christ is now our Great High Priest. The old system of sacrifices was no more, and their focus needed to switch to the new one.
