Study Note

'Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, and to those who are eagerly waiting for him he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him' — the verse draws on the Yom Kippur ritual (Leviticus 16) to interpret Christ's death as a once-for-all High Priestly self-offering. The phrase 'offered once' (hapax prosenechtheis) emphasizes the unrepeatable sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, contrasting with the annual Levitical cycle and anticipating the detailed argument of Hebrews 10:1–18. The two appearances — the first to bear sin (past), the second to bring salvation (future) — mirror the structure of the Yom Kippur liturgy, where the high priest enters the holy of holies and later reappears to the waiting congregation. The verse anchors Christian hope in a fundamentally eschatological orientation: present faith is oriented toward the yet-coming salvation-appearance of Christ.
