“Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for sin.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest

by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way,

which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil,

that is to say, his flesh…” (Hebrews 10:18-20)

Inside of the Holy of Holies, there was a golden altar, where the high priest went once a year and on that altar he burned incense with coals of fire taken from the brazen altar without. Gold speaks of glory and this burning of incense speaks of the intercession of Christ, Who sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession for His people. The atonement was made outside on the brazen altar. The two altars are connected in that the coals from the altar of judgment are used for the burning of incense on the altar of intercession. In the Gospel fulfillment, Christ FINISHED the atonement in His sacrificial death. He NOW makes intercession, “both day and night,” before His Father’s throne.
