Intercession: the act of intervening for someone else. Biblically speaking, it is the act of praying to God on behalf of another. • The Old Testament Foundation (Ex. 30:1-10) o The 2-fold work of the priest
o Sacrifice was offered on the altar of sacrifice; prayer was offered at the altar of incense.
• The New Testament Fulfillment (Jn. 17; Heb. 2:17,18; 7:25-27; 9:23-26) o Intercession in the NT is still tied to the priesthood and the sacrifice.

• In Relation to your sanctification (Heb. 7:25; Rom. 5:10)
