In the Temple standing before the veil was the Golden Altar of Incense. A symbol of the priest's prayer & intercession for the people. It was a special 4 four spice mix. The incense was to burn constantly day & night as a pleasing aroma rising up unto the Lord.
The Golden Altar of Incense is foreshadow/representation of Christ, our intercessor whose prayers never stop ascending unto God on our behalf.
Heb 7:25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
CHRIST IS OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST- Heb 4:4
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Since we have been forgiven of our sins through faith in the blood sacrifice & resurrection of Christ. God now looks upon us and sees only perfection. Not because of our own perfection or merits/works. It's through Christ's sacrifice, sinless perfection & intercession we are pardoned & seen as perfect/complete.
1 Jn 2:
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
(MY NOTE: Our Great High Priest Christ is our advocate/attorney & intercedes & pleads our case. BTW Christ is also our Judge [Jn 5:22] final verdict: Not Guilty!
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
(MY NOTE: Propitiation means to make reconciliation/payment through sacrifice)
