Hebrews 9:23-25 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 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: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entered into the holy place every year with blood of others 

‘Patterns’ [Greek: hupodeigma] a sign; token; copy; example or representation. Translated as “pattern” (9:23); “ensample” (2Pet. 2:6); and “example” (4:11; 8:5; John 13:15; Jas. 5:10). Here, the things in the tabernacle (8:5), were purified ceremonially by the blood of animals (9:18-23). The heavenly patterns are purified by the blood of Christ (9:12-15, 23).

‘For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands.’ Christ is not entered into earthly holy places to minister, but into heaven itself to represent us (8:1-6). No earthly buildings can be called holy places, for our bodies are now the earthly vessels through which God are glorified on earth (1Cor. 6:19-20).

‘Figures’ [Greek: antitupon] an antitype; exact representation (1Pet. 3:21). The earthly holy places and things are mere representations of the true and the heavenly (9:24).

‘Appear’ [Greek: emphanizo] to show forth; make clear and plain. Translated as “appear” (9:24; Matt. 27:53); “manifest” (John 14:21-22); “show” (Acts 23:22); “declare plainly” (11:14); “inform” (Acts 24:1; 25:2, 15); and “signify” (Acts 23:15). Christ represents us (1Jn. 2:1-2).

‘Nor yet that he should offer himself often.’ Christ does not have to offer Himself and die often, as under the law (Lev. 16:1-34). It is enough that He died once and for all to put away sin (9:25-28; 10:1-18).
