The earthly tabernacle, known as the tabernacle in the wilderness, needed to be
purified [temporarily] by blood: it was by the blood of the purest sacrifice available:
without blemish. This would satisfy the atonement of sin for a year.
To eternally establish the atonement for sin, the Eternal Tabernacle also had
to be consecrated by blood: “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by
his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.” So you see that OUR redemption was not actually fulfilled
at the cross, but the sacrifice had to be accepted at the Supreme Court of
Eternity! The proof that the sacrifice was acceptable is the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus: the proof that the blood was accepted, is that Jesus descended
and abode with the disciple, and afterwards the Holy Spirit was imparted (and
being imparted still) to those who believe and obey the gospel that saves.
Reconciling Eternity and earth means bringing both into complete conformity
and harmony with the Father.

Yes, that's where I'm going with this, it seems. Not so much that there are heavenly rebels who need to be reconciled to God, but that there is a judicial requirement of sorts that must be met.
The sanctuary had to be purged by blood in order to accommodate the sin offerings. Heaven required a preparation as well, in order to accommodate our admittance to the heavenly places.
