Today: [Hebrews 8:] The Altar in Heaven: in this chapter, the writer of Hebrews reveals that there is an altar in heaven and a temple that Moses was shown when He received the law in the wilderness. The earthly tabernacle and priesthood was only a facsimile of an original altar in heaven whereupon Jesus as our high priest offers not the blood of bulls or goats but the pure sacrifice of Himself to cleanse us from sin and present us spotless in relationship to the Father.
