Wiki - High priest
'The high priests belonged to the Jewish priestly families that trace their paternal line back to Aaron, the first high priest of Israel in the Hebrew Bible and elder brother of Moses, through Zadok, a leading priest at the time of David and Solomon. This tradition came to an end in the 2nd century BCE during the rule of the Hasmoneans, when the position was occupied by other priestly families unrelated to Zadok.
The distinguished rank of the high priest is apparent from the fact that his sins are regarded as belonging also to the people (Lev. 4. 3, 22).
He was entrusted with the stewardship of the Urim and Thummim (Num. 27. 20 et seq.).
On Yom Kippur he alone entered the Holy of Holies, to make atonement for his house and for the people (Leviticus 16).
He alone could offer the sacrifices for the sins of the priests, or of the people, or of himself (Leviticus 4); and only he could officiate at the sacrifices following his own or another priest's consecration (Leviticus 9).
He also offered a meal-offering every morning and evening for himself and the whole body of the priesthood (Leviticus 6:14–15, though the wording of the law is not altogether definite). '
Now we need to ask ourselves where Jesus entered the heavenly sanctuary…
Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us
In the presence of God the Father.
Exo 30:6 … before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
The mercy seat…
Exo 25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
Jesus went into the most holy place as high priest…
The earthly high priest went into the most holy place only once a year.
Tomorrow we're going to delve deeper into our heavenly high priest, Jesus Christ. All by the grace of God.
