Hebrews 6:19

Which entereth; it is immaterial whether we understand the hope of the anchor as entering, since the one is a symbol of the other.

Into that within the veil; into the heavenly holy of holies within the veil, that is, into heaven itself. For here, as elsewhere in this epistle, the earthly tabernacle--in whose inner sanctuary God had his visible dwelling-place between the cherubim that overshadowed the ark, Ex 25:22; Nu 7:89; Ps 80:1; Ps 99:1--is considered as a type of the true heavenly tabernacle where God resides. Compare chap Heb 8:2; Heb 9:11,12; and especially chap Heb 9:24. Hope has great influence in the salvation of Christians, and the gospel is suited to inspire it. But in order to this, the gospel must be believed. And that hope which arises from true faith tends powerfully to make men holy, and lead them, notwithstanding all trials, to persevere in holiness to the end. Pr 10:28; 11:7; 1Jo 3:3.
