Leviticus 16:12
12And he shall take aa censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veilHebrews 9:22-26
22Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and bwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.23Thus it was necessary for cthe copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places dmade with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God eon our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as fthe high priest enters gthe holy places every year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, hhe has appeared ionce for all jat the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 13:10
10We have an altar kfrom which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.Revelation of John 8:3-5
3And another angel came and stood lat the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with mthe prayers of all the saints on nthe golden altar before the throne, 4and othe smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5Then the angel took the censer and pfilled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and qthere were peals of rthunder, rumblings, ▼▼Or voices, or sounds
flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
