The Linen Clothes

 

On the Day of Atonement, the high priest would wear linen garments and a linen turban on his head while he went with the blood of the goat into the Holy place to make the offering for the sins of the people. (Leviticus 16:4, Leviticus 16:11,14-15).

On the day that Jesus died on the cross and was buried, Jesus, our high priest, entered that greater, more perfect tabernacle in heaven with His own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—and entered the Holy place once for all time securing our redemption forever. (Hebrews 9:11-12, Hebrews 2:17, Hebrews 9:24-26, Hebrews 7:26-27).

"And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:" - Leviticus 16:23 KJV

It appears that just as the high priest in the old testament put off the linen garments that he had on after he came out from behind the vail of the holy place on the Day of Atonement, Jesus our high priest also put off his linen garments after he came out from behind the vail of the holy place in the tabernacle in heaven when He made the final atonement for all humanity.

"So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself." - John 20:4-7 KJV

"Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass." - Luke 24:12 KJV
