Jesus' Once-For-All-Sacrifice

I drew this up in Coreldraw to illustrate the massive change to the type brought about by the once-for-all sacrifice.

Hebrews makes it clear that Jesus' sacrifice was once for all. This radically altered the timing in the type. All sacrifices were fulfilled in one historical sacrifice.

And not only that but the blood was offered from the sacrifice at ascension. The one time sacrifice was offered once for all time, not again and again as each timing of fulfillment rolled around:

Heb 9:24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

Heb 9:25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own

Adventists have used the application of blood portion of the Day of Atonement type to show that there is an IJ. But it becomes clear that this cannot be in light of Jesus already applying the blood at His ascension.

He is not offfering "repeatedly". There is no ministration of blood in 1844. There is no IJ. There is a straight-forward fulfillment of the type by the application of blood from the once-for-all sacrifice.
