The Veil was Torn

Our history focuses upon the resurrection of Jesus from the dead but when you read the bible you will see that there were others who had died that were resurrected as well as Jesus the day before Jesus was resurrected.    

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;  the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,  and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”  Matthew 27: 51-54

When Jesus died He tore the veil in the temple which separated us from entering into the Holy Holies.  This was a dawning of a new era for God because He made the decision that HE was no longer going to dwell in a temple made by human hands.   The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man,  nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.  Acts 17:24-25 

Jesus established a new covenant with us.  But when Christ appeared as a High Priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.  For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.  Therefore He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.  For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.  For a will takes affect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Hebrews 9: 11-17


Jesus said , " I am the way, and the truth , and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me"   John 14:6  
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which HE opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh, and since we have a Great Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.   Hebrews 10:19-25
