How do we know Christ is the fulfillment of the veil's symbolism?
Answered in 1 source
Christ fulfills the veil's symbolism by providing the perfect righteousness needed for access to God.
The veil in the tabernacle symbolizes Christ not only in its separation but also in its representation of His perfect holiness. The materials used in the veil, colored blue, purple, and scarlet, point to Christ's divine nature, His royal authority, and His sacrificial blood. As the high priest entered through the veil into the Holy of Holies, so Christ, by His death, provided access to the Father through His own flesh. This is articulated in Hebrews, where the veil is directly connected to Christ, demonstrating that He is the way, the truth, and the life by which believers approach God. In fulfilling the law and atoning for sin, Christ epitomizes the reality that the veil once illustrated.
