Heard one preacher say that the veil of the temple was torn so that we might enter into the Holy of Holies. Another preacher said the veil was torn so that the Holy Spirit might be released. I would not argue against either point. Let me share what I feel God showed me. The veil was rent from the top to the bottom. Hebrews says the veil was His flesh. When two parties entered covenant they took an animal and they cut the animal lengthwise from the head to the tail. The picture is a picture of cutting of the covenant animal, so the renting of the veil was the tearing of Christ flesh as part of the covenant. We may now enter into this covenant by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross and by virtue of being in Christ.
