What does the Bible say about the temple veil being torn?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that the tearing of the temple veil signifies the removal of the separation between God and His people through the sacrifice of Christ.

In Matthew 27:51, the temple veil is torn from top to bottom at the moment of Jesus' death, signifying that the barrier between God and humanity has been removed. This event represents the fulfillment of the ceremonial law and the end of the Old Testament system of sacrifices and mediatorial priesthood. The tearing of the veil symbolizes that through Christ, believers can now approach God directly, as He has opened the way through His sacrifice. The veil’s tearing from the top to the bottom underscores that this is the work of God, signaling the completion of atonement and the establishment of a new relationship between God and His people.
