Hebrews 9:6-10
The Message
6-10 After this was set up, the priests went about their duties in the large tent.

This was the Holy Spirit’s way of showing with a visible parable that as long as the large tent stands, people can’t just walk in on God.

It’s essentially a temporary arrangement until a complete overhaul could be made.
