Typology isn't enough to prove a doctrine, but the High Priest who was a type of Christ went into the Most Holy Place once a year with the blood of atonement. On his breastplate were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
In a similar way Christ went into heaven with His blood for named individuals that were laid on His human soul by His divine nature.
Particular atonement is for particular people. | Yes, and if election is God naming individuals in Christ, and Christ's atonement was particular ("limited" to those elect), then so is reprobation individual and particular in nature, which counters the Arminian argument that Romans 9:13 speaks of nations, not the individuals named: Jacob and Esau.
