And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”

They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one, just as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tent. For, God said, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”

The Earthly and the Heavenly Sanctuaries

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

This is a symbol of the present time, indicating that gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!

And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered, since the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sin?

By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, “bowing in worship over the top of his staff.”

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe,
