The Last Will and Testament.
We are familiar with what a “Will and Testament” is, which relates to receiving possessions, property, or money after someone dies. This verse is referring to that type of thing, “For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.” Jesus Christ shed His blood on the Cross and died so that we could have the forgiveness of sin and inherit eternal life. It’s easy to understand that the “Will and Testament” doesn’t mean anything as long as the person is still alive. It was necessary for Jesus to die so that we could benefit from all of God’s promises.

There is a thing in this world that has no plan of dying and has no intention of leaving an inheritance. It is the same thing that establishes its seat of government within the soul of people. It has the ability to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to maneuver a person like a puppet on a string or a flesh and blood robot. When it dies, it will take everyone with it, as evident in the global tribulation and the judgment to come. It is the mark of the beast. Everything that it gives is for this present life, which includes honor, possessions, money, property, etc. Those who live by the mark of the beast have their earthly rewards which will end in eternal torment. The existence of the mark of the beast came with much blood, to maintain its presence costs human death, and even more human blood will be shed as the global tribulation intensifies.

“For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 
For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 
Therefore, not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.”
Hebrews 9:16-18

Human Rituals Foreshadow the Purifying of the Tabernacle.

“For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the Book itself and all the people.”

Following precepts and other requirements is what Moses did before the coming of Jesus Christ and is similar to what we do without Jesus. For example, to remain righteous nowadays is to follow every precept and requirement that comes into our thoughts and emotions. Those thoughts and feelings are formed by the thing that has power over physiology, which is the engine of the mark of the beast. The precepts within those thoughts and feelings enter us with softness and things easy to digest, but they require the sacrifices of the people who reject their inner presence. That describes humanism, empowered by the mark of the beast, as they make themselves look like ministers of righteousness and peace while leaving in their wake much human blood, death, and suffering. The churches even use the Book on behalf of those who govern by the mark of the beast to set itself up as God within the temple of God. Humanism and the churches are the “two horns like a lamb” mentioned in Revelation 13:11.

Jesus Christ came as the fulfillment of prophecy, and there is no more need for blood sacrifices of animals. He became the sacrificial Lamb of God who shed His blood for the atonement of sin. The blood used by Moses was symbolic of the blood that Christ would shed to reconcile the human body to God as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The blood of Christ is sprinkled all over the Book, meaning that the Bible is all about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. The people of God have His blood sprinkled on us meaning that our thoughts and feelings are purified through Him. We are the vessels of ministry of the Gospel message who glorifies the name of Jesus and shares His testimony, “sprinkled both the Book itself and all the people, saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.” To fulfill the law of the Old Testament and to fulfill Bible prophecy, Jesus shed His blood, “And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

“For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, 
he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop,
and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, 
“This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 
Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 
And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
Hebrews 9:19-22

Christ Intercedes for Us in the Presence of God.

“Therefore, it was necessary that the symbolic things in the heavens should be purified with these,
but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.“

What we refer to as symbolism in the Bible is much more than that, it is the voice of the Holy Spirit. Today, the followers of Jesus Christ read the Holy Scriptures and can see the prophecy of Jesus Christ through it all. But back then, the Israelites were merely documenting their history, rituals, laws, and their relationship to their God. Their God happens to be everyone’s God as is obvious through the Biblical prophecies of current local and world events. The Israelites even had Prophets, including the likes of Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Isaiah, etc. who spoke by the Holy Spirit to reveal what the global “democracy” of today is all about. All the symbolism of the Bible is very important, but today the symbolism has become a reality, Jesus Christ has come as the sacrificial Lamb to atone for sin.

Jesus Christ has made the symbolic things a reality, but He doesn’t live according to those earthly things. For example, He doesn’t live within earthly churches because He has made our body the place where the Holy Spirit lives. With that, He lives eternally in the presence of God. The tabernacle with the Holy Place and Most Holy Place is the Holy Spirit speaking to us in terms of symbolisms to explain that Jesus Christ makes us the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. The human made tabernacles are obsolete in today’s world. God is making intercession for us 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in the presence of God. We are the Church and Jesus Christ is the minister over the Church.

“Therefore, it was necessary that the symbolic things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 
For Christ has not entered the Holy places made with hands, which are symbolic of the true,
but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.”
Hebrews 9:23-24

Atonement for Sin Once and for All.
Once Christ died on the Cross to atone for sin, He was able to reconcile us to God through the Holy Spirit. Jesus then ascended into Heaven to make intercession for us in the presence of God. What He did would be once and for everyone who believes Him. Jesus was able to do that because He is sinless, Holy, and the Son of God. If He did that as a sinful human being, sin would not be atoned for, and His sacrifice would be needed year after year, “He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world.” His sacrifice as the unblemished Lamb of God put away sin, ‘He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”

It’s ludicrous to think that the Word of God made flesh, Jesus Christ, came to abolish the Word of God. That’s what this present world system wants us to believe. Humanism has no belief in the Deity of Jesus Christ, and they do not acknowledge Him as being the atonement made for sin. Humanism is the clothing worn by those who govern by the mark of the beast. They teach that sin has been done away with, along with Jesus Christ when He died on the Cross. They have no belief in the resurrection, eternal life, nor of the judgment to come. They discard the need for Jesus Christ, blaspheme God, and ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit. The intention is to make the body the seat of government for the mark of the beast by not talking about sin and opposing the body as the home of the Holy Spirit.

“not that He should offer Himself often,
as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 
He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world;
but now, once at the end of the ages,
He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”
Hebrews 9:25-26

Forgiveness of Sin, Death, Resurrection, and Judgment.
When followers of Jesus Christ talk about the judgment to come, it stirs a swarm of angry hornets from today’s society. It speaks to the fact that those who live by the mark of the beast, in the name of humanism, are not above criticism. They are intolerant of criticism and to be told that they face judgment for their sin solicits a harsh rebuke. They have no regard for the sanctity of life nor for the life of Holiness, so they can’t see beyond the grave. Whatever the beliefs are that a person holds, after death there is judgment, “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”

Every person dies once, but the second death will be decided at the judgment, “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 The second death can be avoided, no one has to suffer the eternal torment of the lake of fire. Jesus Christ is offered to all of us for the atonement of sin, “Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.” Salvation is very simple, “Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 Jesus Christ is coming again to save us from this perishable world riddled with sin, “To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.”

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 
so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.
To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.”
Hebrews 9:27-28

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
