Hebrews 9:24
Compare all
22 And according to the law almost all things are1 purified with blood, and awithout shedding of blood there is no2 remission.  

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that athe copies of the things in the heavens should be1 purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  
24 For aChrist has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are1 copies of bthe true, but into heaven itself, now cto appear in the presence of God for us;  
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as athe high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—  
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27 aAnd as it is appointed for men to die once, bbut after this the judgment,  
28 so aChrist was boffered once to bear the sins cof many. To those who deagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Hebrews 9:24

Made with hands (xeiropoihta). See verse Hebrews 9:11 for this word.

Like in pattern to the true (antitupa twn alhqinwn). Late compound word, only twice in N.T. (here, I Peter 3:21). Polybius uses antitupov for infantry "opposite" to the cavalry. In modern Greek it means a copy of a book. Here it is the "counterpart of reality" (Moffatt). Moses was shown a tupov (model) of the heavenly realities and he made an antitupon on that model, "answering to the type" (Dods) or model. In I Peter 3:21 antitupov has the converse sense, "the reality of baptism which corresponds to or is the antitype of the deluge" (Dods).

Now to appear (nun emfanisqhnai). Purpose clause by the first aorist passive infinitive of emfanizw (Matthew 27:53; John 14:21 f.). For the phrase see Psalms 42:3. For this work of Christ as our High Priest and Paraclete in heaven see Hebrews 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1 f.
