THE SANCTUARY DOCTRINE EXPLAINS THE WAY OF SALVATION OF THE GOSPEL (Part 18)
The Typical Earthly Priests Offered Gifts and Sacrifice FOR Sin: Christ the Antitypical High Priest Offered Himself, the Antitypical ‘Lamb of God’ in order to ‘PUT AWAY SIN.’
The following verses of Scriptures declare these truths (emphasis and words in brackets mine]:
“For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for me in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices.” Heb. 5: 1. KJV.
“Nor yet that He [Christ] should offer Himself OFTEN, as the [earthly] high priest entered into the holy place EVERY YEAR with the blood of others [i.e., the animal sacrifices]. For then must He OFTEN suffered since the foundation of the world: but now ONCE in the end of the world (‘age’ or dispensation] hath He appeared to PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF. And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this [death] the JUDGMENT: so Christ was ONCE OFFERED to bear the sins of MANY; and unto them that LOOK FOR HIM shall He appear THE SECOND TIME without sin unto salvation [i.e., no longer as The Sacrifice Himself again for the sins of His people but as the King of kings bringing the reward of eternal life for all His faithful dead and living commandment-keeping saints].” Heb. 9: 25-28.
Christ the Lamb of God, the antitypical “one offering” and “one sacrifice” offered Himself, according to the plan of salvation of the gospel, ONLY “once and for all” at Calvary, the antitypical altar of sacrifice located at the entrance of the outer court of typical earthly sanctuary. See Heb. 9: 26, 28; 10: 10, 12, 14.
But each time Mass is offered in the Roman Catholic Churches, according to its catechism and doctrines, her priests become the “creators of the Creator,” literally bringing Christ down repeatedly, unnumbered times, by allegedly having the power to change the wafer Into the literal body of Christ! at the “moment of consecration of the host, called transubstantiation!
They then say, “the body of Christ,” as they place the host with their finger on the open mouths of the eager participating congregants who believe they actually “ate” the flesh of the body of Jesus Christ!
Pray that the Holy Spirit, Christ’s appointed Vicegerent, not the Pope, whose work on earth will soon end, forever closing mankind’s probation, will open eyes, convict hearts, and enlighten the minds of all who yet to “come out of darkness into the marvelous light” of gospel “truth as it is in Jesus.”
