Hebrews 10: 19-22

Having, therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of JESUS, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil that is to say, His flesh, and having an high priest over the house of GOD, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith; having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

The veil of the ancient Temple was designed by GOD, and made with human hands, was a copy of the Heavenly Temple, not made with hands. In the earthly Temple, there was a thick veil between the holy place and the Holy of Holies. Once a year, the High Priest entered into the Holy of Holies with the Blood of the sacrifice and poured the blood on the Altar of mercy in the Holy of Holies. This veil was a veil of separation, placed there by GOD, so that no sin could come into the Holy presence.

When JESUS gave up His flesh on the Cross, the veil of the Temple was ripped in two from the top to the bottom. This veil was about 30 feet high, 60 feet wide and 4 feet thick. GOD, the Father, tore the veil. This veil, as we see in Hebrews, is the flesh of JESUS, torn on the Cross. His finished work was to make the way to GOD open for all. Yes, open for all, once and for all time.

JESUS is our great High Priest who has made atonement for our sin by His own Flesh and Blood.

COME TO HIM, HE IS THE WAY.
