 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered.... 

Hebrews 9:9

"At the present day the person who comes to the study of the New Testament through the interpreting lights of the types and symbols of the Levitical services, finds a depth and richness in the study that are found in no other way. 

It is impossible to have exalted views of Christ's atoning work if the New Testament is studied without a previous knowledge of the deep, bloodstained foundations in the Old Testament gospels of Moses and the prophets. 

In every sacrifice, Christ's death was shown. 

In every cloud of incense His righteousness ascended. 

By every jubilee trumpet His name was sounded. 

In the awful mystery of the holy of holies His glory dwelt."
