The top priest in Israel — the only one who could enter God's presence on Yom Kippur
lightbulbIsrael's spiritual CEO — the only one with a direct line to God's presence
The chief religious leader in Israel who served as mediator between the people and God. Once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), he entered the Most Holy Place to sprinkle blood on the Ark of the Covenant — an atoning act for the entire nation. Hebrews makes the argument that Jesus is the ultimate High Priest, who entered heaven itself with His own blood, offering perfect and permanent atonement.
