Bible Question: What do you think "no one was able to go into the sanctuary" means? Would it apply to believers? Would it mean no one was being added to the church? |
Bible Answer: Rev 15:5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, Thomas let the verses in their context explain what it means. Looking at verse 5 we see this is the temple in heaven. It means what it says. There is not a hidden meaning. Looking at verse 8 tells us the when "until". A good starting point to find the context (context means that which goes with the verse) is to look at the verses surrounding the verse in question. So the verses that go with verse 8 would be 7 and 9. You can carry this principal further to include the whole chapter, then the whole book, then the entire bible. The next step in bible study is to look at the definations of any words we do not understand, Hebrew/Aramaic in the OT and Greek in the new. The next step is to look at cross references. Cross references where the same word is used in other passages. It is here, in the cross references, that the meaning becomes more clear. Hope this helps. Blessings - Val |
