AINA NYINGINE YA SADAKA ZA DHAMBI

                                         (T79) CHAPTER FIVE
SURA YA 5
AINA NYINGINE YA SADAKA ZA DHAMBI - LEVITIKUSI 9
 
Dhabihu za Upatanisho Zilizorejeshwa na Maelezo Mbadala-Musa na Haruni Waliingia Hema, na Walitoka Tena na Kuwabariki Watu - "Kwao Wale Wamtazamia Atatokea" - "Na Baada Ya Kifo Hukumu" -Kukubaliwa Kwa Dhabihu ya Upatanisho Kuonyeshwa .

KATIKA sura hii tuna picha iliyofupishwa zaidi ya kazi na dhabihu za Upatanisho kuliko ile iliyochunguzwa tayari (LAW. 16), na, kwa kuongezea, inatoa vitu kadhaa ambavyo, kulingana na yaliyotangulia, vitavutia kama pamoja na faida kwetu. Ni picha nyingine ya dhabihu za Upatanisho.

"Musa akasema, Hili ndilo neno Bwana alilowaamuru mfanye; na utukufu wa Bwana utawatokea. Musa akamwambia Haruni, Nenda madhabahuni ukatoe sadaka yako ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa na jifanyie upatanisho mwenyewe [wale watakaoitwa kuwa washiriki wa "Mwili wake" uliihitaji] na kwa ajili ya watu [ulimwengu]. "

Aina hii ilionyesha ukweli kwamba Bwana wetu Yesu (dhabihu ya ng'ombe kwa ajili ya dhambi) ilitosha kukomboa wote "Mwili wake," "kundi dogo," na pia ulimwengu wote wa wanadamu. Sehemu ya Kanisa katika sadaka ya dhambi ingeweza kutolewa kabisa: tungeweza kuokolewa majaribio maalum ya "njia yetu nyembamba," tuliepuka mateso ya dhabihu, na tungeweza kurejeshwa kwa ukamilifu wa asili ya kibinadamu, kama wanadamu wote itakuwa. Lakini ilimpendeza Yehova sio tu kumchagua Yesu kwa kazi hii kubwa ya kujitolea, lakini pia kumfanya kuwa Kapteni au Mkuu wa "Kanisa ambalo ni Mwili wake," na kwamba hawa, pamoja na Nahodha wao, wanapaswa kufanywa wakamilifu kama Viumbe vya kiroho, kwa mateso katika mwili kama sadaka za dhambi. Ebr. 2:10; Kol. 1:24

Mtume Paulo, akimaanisha uhusiano wetu wa karibu na Kichwa chetu anasema: "Atukuzwe Mungu na Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye ametubariki kwa baraka zote za kiroho katika sehemu za mbinguni [" Mtakatifu "na" Mtakatifu Zaidi "] katika Kristo; kama vile alivyotuchagua ndani yake kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu, ili sifa ya utukufu wa neema yake, ambayo ndani yake [ametuthibitisha au kutufanya tukubalike katika mpendwa. " (Efe. 1: 4,6) Mungu "aliwaita kwa injili yetu mpate UTUKUFU wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo" (2 Wathesalonike 2:14), ili kwamba "ikiwa tutateseka pamoja naye tutatawala pia yeye. " 2 Tim. 2:12

Kuhani Mkuu, baada ya kutoa dhabihu yake mwenyewe, alikuwa "atoe sadaka ya watu [mbuzi], na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yao [Israeli wote] kama Bwana alivyoamuru." Mpangilio huu wa kushiriki kwetu dhabihu ya upatanisho ilikuwa sehemu ya amri ya Baba yetu au mpango wa asili, kama vile Mtakatifu Paulo anavyoshuhudia. Kol. 1: 24-26

"Basi Haruni akaenda kwa madhabahu, akamchinja huyo ndama [Ebr. Ng'ombe mchanga] wa sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo ilikuwa kwa ajili yake [badala ya badala yake]. Wana wa Haruni wakamletea ile damu, na akatumbukiza kidole chake ndani ya damu na kuiweka juu ya madhabahu, lakini mafuta [nk.] ... akateketeza juu ya madhabahu, ... na nyama na ngozi akachoma moto nje ya kambi. sadaka ya kuteketezwa [kondoo-dume] na wana wa Haruni wakamletea ile damu, ambayo alinyunyiza pande zote juu ya madhabahu. Wakamletea hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa, naye akaosha matumbo na miguu, akaiteketeza juu ya hiyo madhabahu. hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu, na vipande vyake kichwani. (Akaunti sawa sawa na katika sura ya 16, na kuwa na umuhimu sawa.)

Kwa hivyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya Yesu imekuwa ikiwaka katika nyakati zote za Injili, ikitoa ushahidi kwa wote katika hali ya "Mahakama" (iliyohesabiwa haki), ya kukubaliwa na Mungu kwake, na kukubalika kwa washiriki wote wa "Mwili wake" - uliowekwa kwa Kichwa juu ya madhabahu.

"Kisha akaleta matoleo ya watu, na kuchukua yule mbuzi ambaye alikuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya watu [sio kwa makuhani na Walawi, kama yule wa kwanza] na akamchinja na kumtoa kwa dhambi kama ya kwanza"; yaani, alimchukulia sawa na vile alivyomtendea yule ng'ombe. Mbuzi huyu ni sawa na "Mbuzi wa Bwana" kwenye picha nyingine, "mbuzi-wa-Azazeli" na huduma zingine zimeachwa katika mtazamo huu wa jumla. Ni uthibitisho zaidi wa mafundisho kwamba wale wanaofuata nyayo za Bwana ni washiriki wa sadaka ya dhambi.

"Kisha akaleta sadaka ya kuteketezwa, akaitoa kama kawaida; naye akaileta hiyo sadaka ya unga, akachukua konzi moja, akaitoa juu ya madhabahu kando ya dhabihu ya kuteketezwa ya asubuhi. na huyo ng'ombe na kondoo mume kuwa dhabihu ya sadaka za amani, iliyokuwa kwa ajili ya watu.

Sadaka ya amani, kama ilivyoelezwa tayari, iliwakilisha nadhiri au agano. Iliyoundwa kuhusiana na sadaka ya dhambi ya Kuhani Mkuu, iliashiria nadhiri, majukumu na maagano yaliyodhaniwa na Kuhani, kulingana na toleo la dhambi. Kwa mfano amani ilianzishwa kati ya Yehova na Israeli kama ifuatavyo: Dhabihu ya dhambi ilipokuwa imetolewa, na pia sadaka ya kuteketezwa inayoonyesha kukubalika kwake kwa Mungu, kulikuwa na amani kati ya Yehova na Israeli, kwa sababu dhambi yao ya zamani ya Adamu ilikuwa kawaida. kuondolewa; na walilazimika kuishi kwa utii kwa agano linalotegemea msamaha wao - yaani, walipaswa kushika Sheria — kwamba yeye anayefanya mambo hayo aishi kwa (au kama malipo ya kuyashika). Lakini kama dhabihu zetu za dhambi ni bora kuliko zile za kawaida, ndivyo ilivyo kwa sadaka ya amani au agano lililoanzishwa na dhabihu hizo; ni agano bora. Kwa hivyo katika dhabihu hii ya amani, au sadaka ya agano, Kuhani anaonekana kuwa mfano na kivuli cha mambo ya kiroho - mpatanishi wa agano bora (Ebr. 8: 6-13), ambayo watu wote watabarikiwa na RESTITUTION, na kwa hivyo kuwezeshwa kutii sheria kamilifu na kuishi milele.

"Haruni akainua mkono wake kuwaelekea watu, akawabariki; akashuka kutoka kwa kutoa sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka za amani." Hapa tunaona ikionyeshwa katika aina ukweli kwamba ingawa baraka haifai kabisa kuja juu ya watu hadi dhabihu zote zitakapomalizika, lakini kipimo cha baraka huja kwa wanadamu kutoka kwa washiriki wa Kuhani, hata sasa, wakati wa umri wa dhabihu, kabla sisi sote hatujaenda "Patakatifu Zaidi" au hali ya kiroho. Na hii ni kweli jinsi gani kwa ukweli: popote Makuhani wa kifalme walipo, baraka zaidi au chini hutamkwa kutoka kwa hawa kwenda kwa majirani zao.

Musa na Haruni wakaingia hemani
wa Mkutano, na Kutoka na
Wabariki Watu "

Wakati siku hii (ya umri) wa dhabihu imekwisha, Kuhani kamili (Kichwa na Mwili) atatokea mbele za Mungu, na kutoa ushahidi wa kuwa amekidhi madai yote ya Haki dhidi ya watu (ulimwengu). Itafahamika kuwa wakati aina ya Mambo ya Walawi 16 iligawanya kazi ya Siku ya Upatanisho, na kuonyesha maelezo yote ya jinsi dhabihu ya Bwana kwanza inafanya yetu kuwa ya kustahili kukubalika, n.k., aina hii ilionyesha kazi nzima ya enzi ya Injili kama matoleo mfululizo, lakini yamejiunga moja - mateso yote ya Kristo mzima, ikifuatiwa mara moja na baraka za ukombozi. Kuenda kwa Musa kwenye Hema la kukutania pamoja na Haruni inaonekana kusema, Sheria imeridhika kabisa na haki yake imethibitishwa katika dhabihu ya Kristo. Sheria (iliyowakilishwa na aina ya Musa) itashuhudia kwa niaba ya wale ambao walikuwa chini ya Sheria-Israeli baada ya mwili-kwamba wote walihukumiwa chini ya sheria hiyo pia walihesabiwa haki kwa uzima kupitia dhabihu za Kuhani ambaye "alijitoa mwenyewe" mara moja kwa wote.

Ilipowasilishwa, dhabihu nzima ilikuwa "takatifu, inayokubalika kwa Mungu," hii ikithibitishwa na ukweli kwamba Musa na Haruni hawakufa katika kizingiti cha Patakatifu Zaidi. Musa na Haruni wakatoka nje na kuwabariki watu pamoja. Kwa hivyo katika kizazi kinachokuja, Kristo atabariki familia zote za dunia (Gal. 3: 8,16,29; Mwa. 12: 3); lakini sio kwa kuweka kando au kupuuza Sheria ya Mungu, na kutoa kisingizio cha dhambi, lakini kwa kumrudisha mwanadamu hatua kwa hatua kwenye ukamilifu wa kibinadamu, katika hali ambayo ataweza kushika sheria kamilifu ya Mungu, na kubarikiwa nayo. Heri na Kuhani, aliyekamilishwa na kuweza kuitunza, Sheria - kutii na kuishi - "Yeye atendaye haki ni mwadilifu," itakuwa baraka kubwa; kwa kuwa kila mtu atakaye basi anaweza kutii na kuishi milele kwa furaha na ushirika na Yehova.

"Na Utukufu wa Bwana Ulionekana
Kwa Watu Wote "

Baraka inapoendelea (kurudisha na kuinua mbio, kiakili na mwili), matokeo yatadhihirika. Watu — ulimwengu kwa jumla — watatambua upendo wa neema wa Mungu zaidi na zaidi kila siku. Kwa hivyo itakuwa kwamba "utukufu wa Bwana utafunuliwa na wote wenye mwili watauona pamoja." (Isa. 40: 5) Watakuja kuona, hatua kwa hatua, ya urefu na upana na urefu na kina cha upendo wa Mungu, ambao upitao ufahamu wote.

Inastahili kuzingatiwa kuwa baraka iliyotajwa hapa haikuwa baraka kwa makuhani wa chini. Hapana: waliwakilishwa katika baraka-katika Haruni. Baraka hiyo iliwajia watu wote wa Israeli, ambao, kwa mfano, waliwakilisha ulimwengu. Ni baraka hii ya ulimwengu na "Uzao" - Kristo mzima, baada ya taabu zote kujazwa na Mwili (Kol. 1:24) - kwamba Paulo anamaanisha, akisema, "Uumbaji wote [ubinadamu] unaugua na uchungu wa maumivu pamoja ... wakingojea udhihirisho wa wana wa Mungu. " Kabla hawajapata ukombozi kutoka kwa utumwa wa ufisadi (dhambi na kifo) na kurudishwa kwa uhuru wa wana wa Mungu (uhuru kutoka kwa hukumu, dhambi, kifo, n.k.) kama ilivyofurahiwa na mwana wa kwanza wa binadamu, Adamu (Luka 3:38). Dhabihu za Siku ya Upatanisho lazima zikamilishwe, na makuhani waliotoa dhabihu lazima wavalishwe mavazi matukufu, mamlaka ya kifalme, mamlaka ya kimungu na nguvu hivyo kuwaweka huru. Rum. 8: 19-22

Bila shaka hii ni baraka ile ile ya watu wote - wokovu kutoka kwa kifo na kuumwa kwake, dhambi - ambayo Paulo anataja, akisema: "WALE WANAOMTAFUTA ATAONEKANA MARA YA PILI BILA DHAMBI [sio tena kama sadaka ya dhambi , na bila kuchafuliwa kutoka kwa dhambi hizo zinazochukuliwa kwa ajili ya wenye dhambi] hata kupata wokovu. " (Ebr. 9:28) Ulimwengu umemwona Kuhani -Kichwa na Mwili-akiteseka kama sadaka ya dhambi katika wakati huu; Yesu alidhihirishwa kwa Wayahudi katika mwili (kama sadaka ya dhambi), na kama vile Paulo alivyoweza kusema, vivyo hivyo wafuasi wote katika nyayo zake wanaweza kusema, "Kristo anaonekana katika mwili wetu wa kufa." (2 Kor. 4:11) Kama Kristo mzima amedhihirika na kuteseka katika mwili, ndivyo pia watakavyotukuzwa pamoja mbele ya ulimwengu; "kwa kuwa utukufu [baraka na wokovu] wa Bwana utafunuliwa, na wote wenye mwili watauona pamoja." Atakapotokea, sisi pia tutatokea pamoja naye katika utukufu. Kol. 3: 4

Lakini Kuhani Mkuu huyu mkuu wa ulimwengu atatambuliwa tu na "wale wanaomtafuta." Ikiwa angeonekana kuwa mtu wa mwili, angani au mahali pengine, ingeonekana kwa wote, iwe unamtafuta au la; lakini tayari tumeona kwamba Maandiko yanafundisha kwamba Kichwa kimekamilishwa kama kiumbe wa roho, na kwamba "kundi lake dogo" litafanywa "kama yeye," viumbe wa roho, wa asili ya kimungu, ambayo hakuna mtu aliyemwona wala anayeweza tazama. (1 Tim. 6:16) Tumeona kwamba njia ambayo ulimwengu utaona Kanisa lililotukuzwa itakuwa kwa mtazamo wa akili, kwa maana ile ile ambayo mtu kipofu anaweza kusemwa kuona. Kwa maana hiyo hiyo sasa tunaona tuzo, "taji ya uzima," wakati hatuangalii vitu vinavyoonekana, bali vitu visivyoonekana [kwa kuona kwa macho], kwani vitu vinavyoonekana ni ya muda, lakini vitu visivyoonekana ni vya milele. " (2 Kor. 4:18) Ni kwa njia hii kwamba Kanisa lote la wakati huu limekuwa "likimtazama Yesu"; hivi "tunamwona Yesu." (Ebr. 2: 9; 12: 2) Kwa hivyo, kwa macho ya ufahamu wao, "Waangalizi" hutambua uwepo wa pili wa Bwana kwa wakati wake, kwa nuru ya Neno la kimungu. Na baadaye ulimwenguni, kila jicho litamwona vivyo hivyo, lakini kwa nuru ya "moto mkali" wa hukumu zake. 2 The. 1: 8

Hii ndiyo njia pekee ambayo wanadamu wanaweza kuona au kutambua vitu kwenye ndege ya kiroho. Yesu alielezea wazo hili hilo kwa wanafunzi, kwamba wale ambao walitambua roho yake au akili yake, na kwa hivyo wakamjua, pia watamjua Baba kwa njia ile ile. "Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia; na tangu sasa mmemjua yeye, na mmemwona." (Yohana 8:19; 14: 7) Hii ndio maana pekee ambayo ulimwengu utamwona Mungu, kwani "hakuna mtu aliyemwona Mungu wakati wowote" ("ambaye hakuna mtu aliyemwona, wala anayeweza kumuona") - " Mwana wa pekee, amemtangaza [kufunuliwa]. " (1 Tim. 6:16; Yoh. 1:18) Yesu alifunua au kusababisha wanafunzi wake kumwona Baba kwa kujulisha tabia yake — akimfunua kwa maneno na matendo kama Mungu wa Upendo.

Vivyo hivyo mfumo wa Upapa ulionyeshwa na Luther na wengine, na kuonekana na wengi, kuwa Mpinga Kristo; au kama vile Paulo alivyokuwa ametabiri, mfumo huo mwovu, mtu wa dhambi, alifunuliwa wakati huo, ingawa wengi bado hawaoni hivyo.
Kwa hivyo ni kwamba Bwana wetu Yesu, Kichwa (sasa yuko kukusanya vito), wakati huu amefunuliwa kwa washiriki walio hai wa "kundi dogo," ingawa wengine hawajui uwepo wake. Luka 17: 26-30; Mal. 3:17

Ndivyo itakavyokuwa pia katika siku ya Milenia, wakati Kristo kamili - Kuhani — atafunuliwa. Atafunuliwa tu kwa wale wanaomtafuta, na ni wale tu watakaomwona. Watamwona, sio kwa kuona kwa mwili, lakini kama tunavyoona vitu vyote vya kiroho-Bwana wetu Yesu, Baba, tuzo, n.k.- kwa jicho la imani. Wanadamu hawatamwona Kristo kwa kuona kwa mwili, kwa sababu kwa ndege tofauti ya kuwa-roho moja, mwili mwingine; kwa sababu hiyo hiyo kwamba hawatamwona Yehova kamwe. Lakini sisi [kundi dogo, tukitukuzwa] tutamwona vile alivyo, kwani tutakuwa kama yeye. 1 Yohana 3: 2

Lakini, ingawa ni "wale tu wanaomtafuta" wataweza kumtambua Kristo kama mkombozi ambaye atawaokoa kutoka kwa utawala wa kifo, lakini hii itakumbatia ulimwengu wote; kwani njia ya ufunuo itakuwa ya kwamba mwishowe wote lazima waone. "Kila jicho litamwona"; na wote katika makaburi yao, wakiamshwa, hata wale waliomtoboa, watatambua kuwa walimsulubisha Bwana wa utukufu. "Atafunuliwa [mbinguni? Hapana!] Kwa moto mkali [hukumu], akilipiza kisasi kwa wale ambao hawamjui [hawamtambui] Mungu, na [pia kwa wale] wasiotii injili ya Kristo." Haitachukua muda mrefu kwa wanadamu wote kumtambua chini ya hali kama hizo. Sasa wale wazuri wanateseka, lakini ndipo mtakapotambua "kati ya yeye anayemtumikia Mungu na yule asiyemtumikia"; kwa kuwa siku hiyo tofauti itadhihirishwa. (Mal. 3: 15-18) Halafu wote, wakiona wazi, wanaweza, kwa kumkubali Kristo na ofa yake ya kuishi chini ya Agano Jipya, wawe na uzima wa milele; kwani "Tunamtumaini Mungu aliye hai, ambaye ni Mwokozi wa watu wote, haswa wa wale wanaoamini." 1 Tim. 4:10
"Na Baada ya Kifo Hukumu"

Nakala iliyounganishwa moja kwa moja na mada yetu, kama inavyoonekana kutoka kwa muktadha wake, lakini moja iliyotumiwa vibaya mara kwa mara, isiyoeleweka, kuliko labda nyingine yoyote katika Biblia, inasomeka, "Na kama ilivyowekwa kwa watu [Haruni na warithi wake, ambao walikuwa tu aina ya Kuhani Mkuu wa uumbaji mpya] kufa mara moja [kawaida, kama inavyoonyeshwa katika mnyama aliyeuawa], na baada ya hii [kufuatia kama dhabihu hizo] hukumu [ya Mungu, kuidhinisha au kutokubali dhabihu], kwa hivyo Kristo alitolewa mara moja [haitarudiwa tena] kubeba dhambi za wengi ["kila mtu"], na kwa wale wanaomtazamia atatokea mara ya pili, bila dhambi [hana lawama na dhambi zilizobebwa, wala kurudia sadaka ya dhambi, lakini] kwa wokovu "- kuwapa uzima wa milele wale wote wanaoutamani kwa masharti ya Mungu ya imani na utii. Ebr. 9: 27,28

Kila wakati Kuhani alipoingia "Patakatifu Zaidi" Siku ya Upatanisho alihatarisha maisha yake; kwani kama dhabihu yake ingekuwa isiyokamilika angekufa alipopita "Pazia la pili." Asingekubaliwa ndani ya "Patakatifu Zaidi" mwenyewe, na dhabihu yake isiyo kamili ingekubaliwa kama upatanisho wa dhambi za watu. Kwa hivyo kutofaulu yoyote kulimaanisha kifo chake, na kuhukumiwa kwa wote ambao alijaribu kufanya upatanisho kwa dhambi zao. Hii ndiyo "hukumu" iliyotajwa katika maandishi haya, ambayo ilipitishwa kila mwaka na makuhani wa kawaida; wakati wa kupitisha hukumu hiyo vyema maisha ya kuhani na upatanisho wa kawaida wa kila mwaka wa dhambi za watu ulitegemea.

Kuhani wetu Mkuu, Kristo Yesu, alipita chini ya pazia la pili la mfano, alipokufa huko Kalvari; na lau dhabihu yake ingekuwa katika hali yoyote au kiwango kisichokamilika asingefufuliwa kutoka kwa kifo - "hukumu" ya haki ingemkabili. Lakini ufufuo wake, siku ya tatu, ulithibitisha kuwa kazi yake ilitekelezwa kikamilifu, na kwamba ilisimama jaribio la "hukumu" ya kimungu. Tazama Matendo 17:31.

Ushuhuda zaidi kwamba Bwana wetu alipitisha "hukumu" hii kwa mafanikio, mara moja kwa wote, na kwamba dhabihu yake ilikubaliwa, ilithibitishwa katika baraka ya Pentekoste; na hiyo ilikuwa ni kionjo cha baraka kubwa zaidi ya siku za usoni na kumwagwa kwa mwili wote (Yoeli 2:28), dhamana au hakikisho kwamba mwishowe yeye (na sisi ndani yake) tutakuja kuwabariki watu — ulimwengu, ambao dhambi zao alipatanisha kikamilifu na kukubalika.

Tafsiri yoyote ya maandishi haya, ambayo inatumika kwa kifo cha kawaida cha ubinadamu kwa jumla, inapingana kabisa na kutolewa na muktadha.

Wengi wamekuwa wakitafuta kwa njia isiyojulikana kwa wakati mzuri ujao — kuondolewa kwa laana ya dhambi na kifo na uovu kwa ujumla, lakini hawajaelewa ucheleweshaji mrefu. Hawatambui kwamba dhabihu ya "Siku ya Upatanisho" ni muhimu na lazima ikamilishwe kabla ya utukufu na baraka kuja; wala hawaoni kwamba Kanisa, "wateule," "kundi dogo," ni washirika katika dhabihu ya Kristo, na mateso yake, kama vile watakavyokuwa katika utukufu utakaofuata. "Uumbaji wote unaugulia na kuumia kwa maumivu pamoja mpaka sasa, ukingojea [ingawa kwa ujinga] kwa udhihirisho wa [Kanisa] wana wa Mungu." Rum. 8: 19,22

Kwa kuongezea, kwa kuwa Kuhani wa kawaida aliwakilisha "mwili" na vile vile "kichwa" cha Kuhani wa mfano, Kristo, inafuata kwamba kila mshiriki wa Kanisa lazima atoe "hukumu" hii - kwamba ingawa wengi wameitwa hakuna waliochaguliwa kama "washirika" wanaokubalika mwishowe wa Mwili wa Kristo, matawi ya Mzabibu wa kweli, isipokuwa kama watakavyokuwa "washindi" - waaminifu hadi kifo. (Ufu. 3:21) Hata hivyo, sio kwamba wale lazima wafikie ukamilifu wa mwili, lakini ukamilifu wa moyo, utashi, wa nia: lazima wawe "safi moyoni" - hazina lazima iwe ya dhahabu safi iliyojaribiwa katika tanuru, ingawa jeneza lake la sasa ni chombo cha udongo kisicho kamili.
Kukubali Kimungu Kudhihirishwe

"Moto ukatoka mbele za Bwana, ukateketeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mafuta juu ya madhabahu, ambayo, watu wote walipowaona, walipiga kelele na wakaanguka kifudifudi" - waliabudiwa. Hili ndilo wazo lile lile lililoonyeshwa kwa namna nyingine. Moto uliashiria kukubalika kwa Mungu; kutambuliwa kwake na watu kulionyesha kuwa ulimwengu utatambua dhabihu na thamani yake katika makadirio ya Mungu kama bei ya uhuru wao kutoka kwa mauti na kaburi, na watakapogundua wataabudu Yehova na mwakilishi Wake, Kuhani.

Kwamba hii bado haijatimizwa ni dhahiri. Mungu bado hajadhihirisha kukubali kwake dhabihu kuu ya Siku ya Upatanisho, kwa moto; watu bado hawajapiga kelele na kuanguka kifudifudi katika ibada ya Mfalme Mkuu na mwakilishi Wake. Hapana, ulimwengu bado umelala katika uovu (1 Yohana 5:19); mungu wa ulimwengu huu bado anapofusha karibu kila wanadamu (2 Kor. 4: 4); giza bado linafunika dunia — giza kuu watu. (Isa. 60: 2) Wala hatuhitaji kutafuta baraka kubwa za ukombozi zilizofananishwa kwa aina hii mpaka washiriki wote wa Kanisa, "Mwili" wa Kuhani Mkuu, watakuwa wamezidi kwanza pazia la Pili (kifo halisi) , Kuingia ndani ya Patakatifu Zaidi, kwa mabadiliko ya ufufuo. Wala hii "baraka" ya aina hiyo haitatimizwa mpaka baada ya wakati mzuri wa shida. Halafu, ikiadhibiwa, kutahadharishwa, kunyenyekewa, ulimwengu wa wanadamu kwa ujumla "utamngojea" na "kumtafuta" Kristo mkuu, Uzao wa Ibrahimu, ili kuwabariki na kuwainua.

Aina hizi zinafundisha kwa uzuri sana fidia kamili kwa watu wote, na urejesho na baraka zinawezekana kwa wote!

Hakuna chochote katika aina hizo kinachoonekana kutofautisha kati ya walio hai na wafu, na wengine wanaweza kuwa na mwelekeo wa kudhani kwamba wakati dhabihu za Kuhani Mkuu zinamalizika, na baraka inaanza, ni wale tu ambao wanaishi wakati huo ndio watakaofaidika sana. Lakini tunajibu, Hapana: kwa kadiri ya Mungu walio hai na wafu ni sawa; anasema wote kama wafu. Wote walikuja chini ya hukumu ya kifo katika Adamu; na cheche ndogo ya maisha ambayo mtu yeyote anayo sasa ni hatua moja tu ya kufa. Ni mbio iliyokufa sasa kwa sababu ya dhambi ya Adamu; lakini wakati wa mwisho wa "Siku ya Upatanisho" ya mfano, baraka za kuhesabiwa haki na maisha zitapanuliwa kwa wote, kwa masharti ambayo wote wataweza kutii, na yeyote atakayeweza kuwa nayo tena, kutoka kwa mtoaji wa maisha, Mkombozi, wote kwamba alipoteza kwa Adamu - maisha, uhuru, neema ya Mungu, n.k.- wale ambao wameenda mbali hadi mauti, na vile vile wale ambao bado wanakaa ukingoni- "katika bonde la uvuli wa mauti."

Hii ndio dhamira ya dhabihu za dhambi za mfano: kuwaachilia "watu wote," wanadamu wote, kutoka kwa mamlaka ya dhambi, kifo: kuwarejeshea ukamilifu wa kiumbe ambao ni muhimu kwa furaha kamili na kwa-moja-ment na Muumba.
Hii ndiyo baraka itakayokuja kwa familia zote za dunia kupitia Uzao wa Ibrahimu. Hii ndiyo habari njema ambayo alihubiriwa Ibrahimu, kama tunavyosoma: "Mungu alipotambua ya kuwa atawahesabia haki mataifa [watu wote — Mataifa] kwa imani, alimhubiri Ibrahimu kabla ya Injili [habari njema], akisema, Ndani yako na katika uzao wako mataifa yote yatabarikiwa [kuhesabiwa haki] ... Ambaye ni uzao gani Kristo [haswa Kichwa, na pili Mwili]; na ikiwa ninyi ni [washiriki] wa Kristo basi ninyi ni Uzao wa Ibrahimu, na warithi kulingana na ahadi " kwa; yaani, moja ya jamii ya baraka, Uzao wa Ibrahimu, ambaye atazibariki familia zote za dunia. (Gal. 3: 8,16,29) Lakini hii "Mbegu" lazima ikamilishwe kabla ya baraka kuja, kama inavyoonyeshwa katika aina iliyozingatiwa: sadaka ya dhambi lazima ikamilishwe kabla ya baraka zote zinazotokana na hiyo kutiririka.

Kizuizi kwamba Kuhani Mkuu peke yake aliingia ndani ya "Patakatifu Zaidi" mara moja kwa mwaka ili kufanya upatanisho haipaswi kueleweka kuwa na maana kwamba yeye na makuhani wa chini hawakuingia huko wakati wa siku zilizofuata - baada ya Siku ya Upatanisho kufanya upatanisho kamili kwa dhambi. Badala yake, Kuhani Mkuu aliingia hapo mara nyingi baada ya siku. Ilikuwa ndani ya "Patakatifu Zaidi" ambapo Kuhani Mkuu alienda kila alipouliza kwa Yehova kwa ustawi wa Israeli, n.k., akitumia kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu, Urimu na Thumimu. Tena, kila walipovunja kambi, ambayo mara nyingi, makuhani waliingia na kushusha "vitambaa" na kulifunga Sanduku na vyombo vyote vitakatifu, kabla ya Walawi kuruhusiwa kubeba. Hesabu. 4: 5-16

Tena, kila wakati Mwisraeli alipotoa sadaka ya dhambi kwa makuhani (baada ya dhabihu ya "Siku ya Upatanisho" kumalizika) wote waliila katika "Patakatifu Zaidi." (Hes. 18:10) Kwa hivyo na mfano, baada ya "Siku ya Upatanisho" ya sasa kumalizika: "Ukuhani wa Kifalme" utakuwa katika "Patakatifu Zaidi" au hali kamili ya kiroho, na huko watakubali (kula) dhabihu kwa dhambi, iliyoletwa na ulimwengu kwa makosa yao wenyewe (sio kwa dhambi ya asili au ya Adamu, ambayo ilifutwa "Siku ya Upatanisho"). Katika hali hiyo nzuri ya kiroho, ukuhani utafundisha kwa kila jambo, kama inawakilishwa katika maamuzi na majibu yaliyopewa Israeli na Urimu na Thumimu.
