What does the Bible say about the significance of the torn veil in Mark 15:33-39?

Answered in 1 source

The torn veil signifies the removal of separation between God and humanity through Christ's sacrifice.

The tearing of the veil in Mark 15:38 represents a profound theological truth: the removal of the barrier that once separated God from humanity due to sin. This veil, which hung in the temple, symbolized the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelt and was a tangible reminder of the inaccessibility of God. With Jesus' death, the sacrificial system and the old covenant came to an end, allowing us the boldness to enter the presence of God. Through His sacrifice, Christ made a way for all believers to approach God freely, abolishing the need for ongoing sacrifices and enabling a personal relationship with Him.
