2. By way of Preparation. And this is twofold.
(1) With respect unto our present gracious entrance into the Holiest, by Faith and Prayer. This way was not made for us whilst the Old Tabernacle was standing, chap. 9. 8. But this way is now prepared for us by our ⟨p. 179⟩Forerunner, Chap. 10. 19, 20, 21, 22. We have an entrance into Heaven even whilst we are here on the Earth. An entrance is made for our Faith, for our Hope, for our Prayer; wherever they enter, our Souls do enter, and are present. And this entrance we make daily, and that with boldness and assurance on the account of our Forerunner.
(2) As unto our future entrance into Glory. Under this capacity as a Forerunner, it belongs unto him to prepare Mansions for us in his Fathers House, whither he is gone, and which he hath promised to do, Joh. 14. 23. He prepares Mansions for us, and he prepares us for those Mansions, suiting Grace and Glory unto each other. Heaven indeed is ready for us, whenever we are meet and ready for Heaven.
