Context of Hebrews 9:11

9the which [is] an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered, 10[consisting] only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until [the] time of setting things right. But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,) 12nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

Commentaries on Hebrews 9:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11But Christ being come a high priest of good things - I think this and the succeeding verses not happily translated: indeed, the division of them has led to a wrong translation; therefore they must be taken together, thus: But the Christ, the high priest of those good things (or services) which were to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of the same workmanship, entered once for all into the sanctuary…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11But Christ being come - Now that the Messiah has come, a more perfect system is introduced by which the conscience may be made free from guilt. An high priest of good things to come - see Hebrews 10:1. The apostle having described the tabernacle, and shown wherein it was defective in regard to the real wants of sinners, proceeds now to describe the Christian system, and to show how that met the real condition of man, and especially how it was adapted to…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-14Verses 11-14 All good things past, present, and to come, were and are founded upon the priestly office of Christ, and come to us from thence.

From whom the "reformation" (He 9:10), or rectification, emanates, which frees from the yoke of carnal ordinances, and which is being realized gradually now, and shall be perfectly in the consummation of "the age (world) to come."
