This last unit of ch. 9 presents to us another συνκρισις (comparison) of the Old and New Covenantal Sanctuaries and Priests. This can be seen by the μεν .. δε construction at the beginning of the unit in v. 23 by way of contrast and at the end of the unit with καθ΄ οσον...ουτως in vv. 27-28 concerning the correlation between mankind's fate and Christ. The middle section of the passage is squarely oriented to a Yom Kippur typology (vv. 24-26) concerning the priestly offering and in which the sanctuaries are contrasted by their earthly vs. heavenly realms (v.23). In vv. 24-26 there are two further contrast units. The first is a basis clause establing the reason for the cleansing of the heavenly tabernacle and it is followed by a purpose clause demonstrating the uniqueness of His sacrifice. This unit also explicity explains that Christ's offering was once for all time which is never to be repeated that was contrasted with the repeated offerings of the high priest on a yearly basis. (vv. 25-26). The passage ends with the use of another parenthetical theological statement of mankind (as in v. 22) set to correlation with Christ with an explicit mention of Christ's second coming for salvation those who eagerly await him. Thus salvation in the book of Hebrews is set forth as something that is both tangible and real now, but is eschatologically set forth as having a complete fulfillment at the time of the future coming kingdom.
