The Ripped Veil

Once a year the High Priest entered beyond the veil into the Holiest of Holies of the Old Testamnt temple to offer a blood atonement for sinners. God met him there.
The beautiful veil hung 60' high and 30' wide. It is said to have been as thick as the palm of a man's hand.
Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twein from the top to the bottom.
The very second Jesus died on the cross, the miraculous hand of God ripped the thick curtain apart. The Jewish priesthood had come to an end. 
Hebrews 10:19-22 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh. And having an high priest over the house of God, Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Whether we come just to worship, to intercede in behalf of others or to petition for our own needs, we have direct access to the Creator of the Universe through His Son. Every sinner is invited.
