(Hebrews 9:23), the “heavenly things” are the type, and “holy places” ( Heb. 9:24 24For 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: (Hebrews 9:24)), the antitype, or what corresponded to the pattern.
