How does the tearing of the veil relate to Jesus' death?

Answered in 1 source

The tearing of the veil signifies the removal of barriers between God and humanity due to Jesus' sacrificial death.

The tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Jesus' death represents the profound change in the relationship between God and humanity. This act symbolizes the removal of the barrier that separated the holy presence of God from sinful humanity. Ryle emphasizes that this event not only marks the end of the sacrificial system but also signifies the opening of direct access to God through Christ. In Hebrews 10:19-20, believers are encouraged to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, affirming that His death provides the pathway to reconciliation with God and the initiation of the New Covenant.
