How can creatures made from dust become members of God's household "forever"? In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Michael Morales explores the narrative context, literary structure and theology of Leviticus, following its dramatic movement from the tabernacle to the temple—and from the earthly to the heavenly Mount Zion in the New Testament.

This Mt. Zion is the one in Hebrews 12:22-24, which is also called the Holy of Holies in heaven and the Lord's holy throne room. This book shows how the whole book of Hebrews is really a brief exhortation for believers in Jesus Christ to draw near to God in the Holy of Holies in heaven through our great High Priest, Jesus. The Bible shows that God imparts true life to His people there as we come intimately before Him. We can also see how God allows and equips His people to participate in His government of all the earth. It becomes clear that God's people -- Christians -- have missed taking full advantage of His great provision for us to draw near to Him through Jesus. Therefore we have seen a resulting loss of good fruit in our lives and throughout the earth. But by understanding what God provides for us in Jesus and in Mt. Zion -- the Lord's holy throne room -- we can see what we can do, so that we shall provide much more true life on earth by faith and God's power.
