How do we know the significance of the rent veil is true?

Answered in 1 source

The significance of the torn veil is evidenced by its fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system and its confirmation in the New Testament.

The significance of the veil being torn at Jesus' death is rooted in both Old and New Testament theology. In Exodus, the veil is described as separating the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelled from the rest of the temple, symbolizing humanity's separation from God due to sin. When Christ died, the veil was torn, indicating that the sacrificial system was fulfilled in Him—'Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us' (1 Corinthians 5:7). This act is corroborated by the New Testament writers who interpret the event as God declaring that the way into His presence is now open to all through Christ's sacrifice (Hebrews 10:19-22). Thus, the torn veil is a powerful symbol of the completed work of redemption.
