"In the Presence of God"
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with
better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence {G4383} of God for us:
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth
into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he
often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin
unto salvation.

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face {G4383} of the serpent.
Revelation 20:11 ¶And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face {G4383} the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 22:1-4 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face {G4383}; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with
better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth
into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he
often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin
unto salvation.
Hebrews 9:23-28
Here is the entire chapter--
Hebrews 9:1-28
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was
the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the
sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the
Holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the
covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was
the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the
tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the
mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now when these
things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first
tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for
the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way
into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first
tabernacle was yet standing: which was
a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts
and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as
pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them
until the time of reformation. But Christ being come an high priest of
good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made
with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood
of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of
the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament
was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to
all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of
goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the
book, and all the people, saying, This is
the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover
he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the
ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and
without shedding of blood is no remission. It was
therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should
be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: nor
yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth
into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he
often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin
