The Vail. Exodus 26:31-35 The order of the entrances in the Tabernacle and into the Tabernacle in this passage reflects how God is coming out from His dwelling place to His people. The inner veil separating the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place is described first. The color blue appears first in this order, with the linen last, suggesting that the curtains covering the Tabernacle symbolize our Lord Jesus Christ when He was on earth. The veil represents God's presence in heaven. The cherubim woven into the veil symbolize our Lord in His role as the righteous Judge before whom sin is not permitted. No one was allowed to be in God's presence in the holiest place. Entering there would mean death because the wages of sin is death. The only exception was the high priest, who could enter once a year with the blood of atonement to offer for himself and the sins of the people.
Now, because of the full redemption provided by what our Lord Jesus accomplished when He died in our place on the cross, we are accepted in the Beloved. We have “boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh [Heb.10:19-20].” When our Lord said, “It is finished," while on the cross, He bowed His head and dismissed His spirit. The veil of the temple was “rent in the midst from the top to the bottom.”
It was not located on the side but directly in front of where the mercy seat would have been. That was the place where God dwelled when He was among His people. There is nothing separating us from Him now. God’s grace toward His people and the boundless love of His heart make it possible for us to approach Him directly with reverence and godly fear at all times and in every situation.
