Holy of Holies: The place of Worship

Hebrews 10:19-20

"Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the Holy of Holies

by the power and virtue in the blood of Jesus, by this fresh and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh,

and since we have such a great and wonderful and noble Priest

Who rules over the house of God, (a priest who rules)

Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith, having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water."
