The Veil

Heb 10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh

Through the veil.

The veil.

Mat_27:51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent

Heb_9:3  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all

Exo_26:33  And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

Exo_30:6  And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

Lev_4:17  And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.

Lev_16:15  Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat

A veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place in the temple upon the earth, a temple built after the pattern shown, the pattern taken from the heavenly temple.

A heavenly temple.

That veil which separated the two compartments, the veil in figure Christ's flesh.  We enter into the Most Holy Place through Christ our Savior and no other way.

Before Christ, entering in through the veil was only done by the High Priest. 

Through the sacrifice of Christ that separation was done away with.

THROUGH CHRIST we lose that separation between us and God.

ONLY through Christ is it possible.

More on this tomorrow by the grace of God!

Through the blood of our Savior Jesus Christ, always!


Amen
