The Altar of the Heavens: Unlocking Divine Access Through the Sacrifice of Messiah
Inspired by the Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn
Imagine being taken into a sacred chamber, where a stone replica of the ancient temple stands before you. A guide points to the right, revealing the Brazen Altar—the sacred place where sacrifices were once offered, and reconciliation with God was made on the Day of Atonement. The High Priest would carry the blood of the sacrifice into the Holy Place, then beyond the veil into the Holy of Holies, sprinkling it on the Ark of the Covenant nestled between the wings of the Golden Cherubim. This altar, this sacred act, begins a divine journey—one that echoes through eternity.
What does this ancient altar foretell?
It speaks of the ultimate sacrifice—the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life on the cross.
On what altar did this sacrifice occur?
On the altar of the cross— the cosmic altar of salvation.
Yes, the cross is the pinnacle of divine sacrifice—the ultimate sacrifice that takes away the sin of the world. But here's the profound truth: the altar of sacrifice was never meant to be the end. It was the beginning.
People often see the cross as the conclusion of salvation, but in divine truth, it is the gateway into the deeper mysteries of God’s eternal purpose. The altar of sacrifice grants us access—the divine access to step beyond the veil, into the Holy of Holies, into the very presence of God.
The cosmic altar of Messiah’s sacrifice is not merely a symbol but a spiritual portal—an invitation to walk into realms previously inaccessible. When we bring our lives wholly into the cross, we gain divine entry into the heavenly places, into divine glory, and into the fullness of God’s eternal purpose.
This is the mystery and the magnitude of the altar: it is a divine portal beckoning us to enter beyond the veil. It opens the door for us to dwell in the heavenlies—to live in divine authority and divine intimacy.
Learn this divine mystery:
The altar of sacrifice was simply the beginning.
The altar of Messiah’s sacrifice—on the cross—is the gateway to heaven itself.
Use this divine access.
Walk through the door. Enter into the holy places. Live in the realm of divine glory.
Scriptures for this Divine Revelation
Exodus 40:6
And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and you shall put the wood in order on the altar of the burnt offering, and you shall burn on it the burnt offering and the fat of the peace offerings.
This altar symbolizes the divine gateway for sacrifice and divine access—where life begins, initiating divine communion and reconciliation.
Leviticus 16:12-14
Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, lest he die. He shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
This foreshadows how the blood of sacrifice grants access into the divine realm—entering through the veil, into the Holy of Holies, made possible through divine mercy.
Hebrews 4:14-16
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Because Jesus has passed through the heavens, we are invited—boldly—to approach the throne of divine mercy, gaining access to divine love and grace.
Hebrews 10:19-23
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
The torn veil through Christ’s flesh reveals that His sacrifice is the divine portal—opening the heavens for us to dwell in divine presence with full confidence.

In Summary:

Bring your life wholly into the cross. Use its divine access to step into the realms of divine purpose and eternal glory. Walk through the door that Christ has opened and live in the divine presence—forever.
