The concluding thoughts in Hebrews chapter 9 restate and expand the sentence found in verses 11 and 12. “But when Christ appeared as a High Priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) He entered once for all into the holy places not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of His own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.” The author goes on to describe 3 senses in which Christ was uniquely manifest in the complete work of redemption... all 3 are translated as “appearings” though 3 individual greek words are employed in the original. They indicate respectively: 1.) “Show oneself, come to view, manifest.” 2.) “Make manifest, visible, or known what was once hidden, unknown, realized” 3.) “Seen, show oneself, appear”. This third rendering was used of Jesus in the Gospels and Acts after His resurrection (Luke 24:24, Acts 9:17, 13:31, 26:16 etc.) Our own accounts of historical significance usually mark what we consider milestones in our life experience. Events like: landing on the moon, D-day, fall of Berlin wall, 9/11... We all remember where we were when X happened. This kind of significant attention is entirely misplaced if events like this are not infinitely down the list from the moments expounded in our text today...
