Eternal Result Language

There is no counter-argument. The verse explicitly uses the word "eternal" to describe the redemption obtained, directly aligning with the theme's definition of a permanent, irreversible result.

Christ as High Priest

The verse focuses on the efficacy of Christ's blood and the result of his entry into the holy place (eternal redemption), rather than explicitly detailing his role or functions as a high priest.

Completed Atonement

The verse describes a past action ("entered in once," "having obtained") and its result ("eternal redemption"), but it does not explicitly state whether this "eternal redemption" requires no further action or if it is a foundation upon which ongoing application or intercession might still build.
