The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

The Holy Spirit. Moses did not comprehend the typical meaning (1 Peter 1:11).

Signifying - by the typical exclusion of all from the holiest, except the high priest once a year.

The holiest of all - heaven, the antitype.

The first (anterior) tabernacle - representing the whole Levitical system. While as yet 'has a standing' [ echousees (G2192) stasin (G4714); i:e., has continuance], the way to heaven (the antitypical "holiest place") is not yet made manifest (cf. Hebrews 10:19). The Old Testament economy is represented by the holy place; the New Testament by the Holy of holies. Redemption by Christ has opened the Holy of holies (access to heaven by faith, Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 7:19; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 10:19; Hebrews 10:22: by sight hereafter, Isaiah 33:24; Rev. 10:19; Revelation 21:2) to all mankind. "Not yet" [ mee-poo (G3380)] refers to the mind of the Spirit; the Spirit intimating that men should not think the way was yet opened (Tittmann) [ou-poo would deny the fact objectively; mee-poo (G3380) denies subjectively].
