Atonement Once and for All
cancelled by Hebrews 9:8
8 τοῦτο δηλοῦντος τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου, μήπω πεφανερῶσθαι τὴν τῶν ἁγίων ὁδὸν ἔτι τῆς πρώτης σκηνῆς ἐχούσης στάσιν, “This revealed the Holy
Spirit: not yet made known/shown/revealed is the way of the [Most] Holy [see
verse 3, short form of agia agioon as opposed to agia for the Holies in verse
2], while the first tabernacle [there are three: 1: outer court,; 2: Holies or
agia 3: Most Holy or agia agioon] continue/exists/stands. Christ went into the hagia
[cf. verse 2] once and for all. He is not going to go again into the Holies.
Not again on the cross. He died only once. Every saving act of Christ in heaven
is “once and for all”. Every one act of Christ is a Greek Aorist Punctular
form. It is not a line but a fullstop or period. It does not matter which side
Christ entered the Heavenly Temple to function there, it is once and for all so
that it will not be repeated in ages to come. The function of Christ in the
Most Holy is “not yet” see 9:8 μήπω πεφανερῶσθαι.
