Devotionals
The sight of the blue, purple and scarlet veil, covered with embroidered cherubim must have been spectacular! The veil separated the Holy place from the Holy of Holies so that no accidental entry could take place. No one but the High Priest, once a year on the day of atonement could enter the Holy of Holies. Failure to comply with this requirement meant death.
The Holy of Holies was a perfect square measuring 15 feet in length, width and height. The veil was a picture of the barrier between God and man, showing that Holiness was not to be trifled with. The presence of God remained shielded from man throughout Israel's history.
Jesus sacrificial death changed that. When He died the veil in the temple of Jerusalem was torn from top to bottom. This was no easy feat as the veil was 60 feet high, 30 feet wide and 4 inches thick...impossible for man.
Jesus has done the impossible, he opened the way for mankind to have direct access to God the father through the sacrifice of His blood. When next you stand in worship before God, open your heart to Him for His presence longer dwells behind a veil but is openly accessible to us and we can enter His presence spiritually and feel that presence physically.
