What does the Bible say about the veil in the temple?
Answered in 2 sources
The veil in the temple symbolized the separation between God and humanity, which was torn at Jesus' death, granting believers direct access to God's presence.
The veil in the temple acted as a barrier between the holy place and the Holy of Holies, signifying the separation caused by sin between God and man. In Hebrews 10:19-22, it explains that because of Jesus's sacrificial death, this veil was torn from top to bottom, symbolizing that the way into God's presence is now open for all who believe. This act represents the removal of barriers that kept humanity from direct communion with God, showcasing the finality and efficacy of Christ's atoning work. It teaches believers that they can approach God boldly and with assurance due to the sacrifice made by Christ, our Great High Priest.
