Heb 6:13For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the [f]immutability of His counsel, [g]confirmed it by an oath, 18that by two [h]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we Hebrews 6 NKJVmight have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
19This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
The Christian hope is sure and enters behind the veil where Christ, as our forerunner has gone. The place where Christ has entered is the place of our hope. That we too will enter where he has gone as our forerunner.
If this hope is to enter behind the veil where Christ as our forerunner has gone, how does this happen?
How can we enter into the most holy place where he has gone so that we may follow him?
How can we obtain eternal redemption as he has, and to die no more like him?
It becomes evident, that to pass through the veil as he has, is to gain the promise of eternal life through him. In other words, to be heirs with him of God’s promises, we must pass into the Most Holy Place where he has first gone, and that he, that is to say, his flesh, is the door though whom we must pass. Just as Jesus has inherited a life which “dies no more”, we too may inherit that same life when we too, like he, has passed trough the veil.
What does the veil of the Most Holy Place represent?
The writer says the veil is his flesh. In other words, when the curtain was placed to separate the Most Holy Place, from the holy place, it represented Christ’s flesh. So, just as he has overcome the flesh and received eternal redemption, we too can overcome the flesh/ veil as he has and enter into the Most Holy Place as he has and therefore follow him.
Heb 10:19Therefore, brethren, having boldness[f] to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
If we have faith enough to enter where Jesus has entered as our forerunner, we too will receive the reward of eternal life as he has and be heirs according to the promise and enter after him.
If the veil represents his flesh, then we must, as he has, overcome the flesh, so to pass through the veil as he has And obtain eternal redemption like him.
We pass through the flesh by believing in him and putting to death the deeds of the .flesh.
Rom 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6For to be https://biblehub.com/nkjv/romans/8.htm#footnotescarnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [d]through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Heb9:6Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. 7But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; 8the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—
What stands between us and entering into the Most Holy Place where Christ has entered? It is the flesh!
It is because he has been accepted of God to enter into the Most Holy Place by overcoming the flesh that we to, through him, may also enter that place in heaven.
We need a mediator between God and us in order to enter into the Most Holy place where he has gone because God has only accepted his sacrifice as the means.
