Why is the veil significant in the tabernacle?

Answered in 1 source

The veil represents the separation between God and humanity, which Christ removed through His sacrifice, granting believers access to God.

In the tabernacle, the veil separated the holy place from the holy of holies, signifying the great divide caused by sin (Exodus 26:31). It illustrates that due to sin, humanity could not approach God directly. However, the New Testament reveals that Christ’s death tore the veil from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51), symbolizing the removal of this barrier and the establishment of a new way to God through His blood. Hebrews 10:19-20 emphasizes that we can now enter the holy presence of God with confidence because of Christ's sacrifice. Thus, the tabernacle's veil ultimately reflects Christ's role as mediator and His fulfillment of the sacrificial system, allowing for direct access to God for all believers.
