   (In the Order Believed Written)

25 - The high priest entered the most holy place every year [on Day of Atonement, middle of the three Autumn holy days. It’s interesting isn’t it? How Jesus fulfilled so very perfectly the Spring holy days with his first, so brief advent. It was down to the days, the hours, the minutes. Everything God makes and does is in patterns.. One day “even the pots and plates will be holy”. His patterns are sacred. The most sacred art. Everything.

      It’s veiled.. of course (Father does love a good riddle?) just how perfectly he fulfilled the three Spring holy days, four if we count Pentecost. First, there’s three Sabbaths of the week so three prep days.. Passover and Unleavened Bread were called interchangeably, as was the whole week referred to as both.. and more veils.]

     But Jesus (on DOA) entered the one time. Nor would it be to offer himself repeatedly. 26 For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. {Father and Son both suffer the worst? Especially as God is Life.. so witnesses and lives through it all. And endowed thinking and reasoning anyway.} 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and then is judgment [Rev.20] {But the chapter is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between}. 28 So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of (the?) many [polýs - often, mostly, largely, multitude, many, most, altogether, common, great in amount, extent] will appear a second time, not to deal with sin [hamartia - missing the mark] {this crucible, imperfection/entropy} but {that dealt with} to save those who are eagerly awaiting him.
