Exodus.26.33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps and bring the ark of the Testimony into place within the veil; and the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. (AMP)
God commanded Moses to hang the veil purposely to separate the holy from most holy pace. And we know that the weight of the glory of God was greatest in the most holy place.
We see it in the experience of Moses whose face was shining brightly because of the glory of God and had to put a veil on His face to hide the glory.
Now during the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, the veil that God commanded through Moses was torn from top to bottom. And many people stop at knowing that it meant free access to the most holy place.
Mark.15.37-38 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. (NIV)
Take time to think about why the curtain got torn immediately after He breathed His last.
The curtain represented the body; the flesh. Therefore when the flesh died, the veil also had to go with it.
Heb.10.19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, (NIV)
When His flesh died, He did away with sin, the law where it found it's strength and the flesh where the law of sin worked.
If God has given us free access to His glory, what then is limiting Christians from experiencing it's weight?
Many Christians still have a veil wrapping them.
Romans.7.22 -25 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Until your flesh dies as Christ put his to death, you will struggle to see and experience the glory of God. The death here is getting disconnected from the desires and lust of the flesh.
Col.3.5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, then the veil is taken away. (2Cor.3.16 NLT)
There is greater glory awaiting anyone who accepts to die to their flesh because in that way, the veil is taken away.
Hallelujah!
