• While the blessing is fully made known to the believer now, in order to place him in immediate access to God according to the rights of Christ's glory and of redemption actually accomplished for the soul, the phraseology is purposely such as to hold out and ensure "the coming good things" for His people another day.

• Our present relationship with Him is only and altogether heavenly. He acts as priest in a tabernacle which is not of this creation: it is heavenly, in the presence of God, not made with hands. Our place is in heaven. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The sacrifice of Christ does indeed secure present blessings for the believer, but the “good things” in reference to which Christ is High Priest are yet “to come.” Thus again the Spirit of God keeps in view the end of our wilderness journey. (“The New Sacrifice: Hebrews 9:11-23” by H. Smith)

JND Translation Notes

k
The "good things to come" are the promised blessings to come in with Christ. This Epistle, though addressed to Christians on most precious subjects, does not enter into proper assembly standing. it refers to the assembly in chs. 2 and 12.
l
Dia here gives the character of his coming. He came in the power of and characterized by these things. They are not the place through nor the means by which.

Or "greater," as ch. 6.13,16, etc.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some ancient witnesses have already "come," which seems a correction to make the phrase exclusively Christian.
b
"The" greater and more perfect tabernacle is in contrast with the earthly one reared by human hands.
c
The RV gives properly "creation," instead of "building," as in the KJV.
