Sanctuary cleansed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 

Ezekiel 45:18-19

“‘Thus says the Lord God: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and cleanse the sanctuary. The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the gate of the inner court.” Ezekiel 45:18-19

The first month of the year, on the calendar of the Israelites, was established on the day of the Passover event in Exodus, “Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” Exodus 12:1-2 The Passover event is when God had the Israelites to spread the blood of a young lamb on both doorposts [left and right] and above the door leading into their house. By doing this, death would pass over that house, and they would be granted life, “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” Ezkiel 12:13-14

The picture below shows how the blood was put on the door posts which is in the shape of a cross, the Cross where Jesus Christ shed His blood to atone for our sin.

Today, the blood of Jesus Christ causes death to pass over us and grants us life in the Spirit and eternal life in the New Jerusalem, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

The blood of the unblemished sacrifices was used to cleanse the sanctuary, and today our body is the sanctuary of God as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the sinless unblemished Lamb of God who cleanses our spirit and soul, “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 His blood is applied to our heart to atone for our sin to reconcile us to God. His blood is on the doorposts of our soul to guard against being a throughfare of sin and unbelief. His blood is on the altar of our soul to make it possible that we are an acceptable living sacrifice to God. His blood is on the gateposts of the “inner court” to make it possible for us to enter into the presence of God as the temple of the Holy Spirit.
