Day 5 On the Day of Atonement, the High Priest was to take the blood of a lamb and enter the Holy of Holies. He was to sprinkle that blood on the Mercy seat, which rested on top of the Ark of the Covenant, making atonement for the sins of the people. No one, other than the High Priest (and only for times of sacrifice), was allowed behind the veil. That veil stood as a barrier between man and God. The moment Jesus died, that massive veil, which was so thick it was said that a team of horses could not tear it apart, ripped down the middle, as if a giant sword had sliced it in two. That rent veil signaled the end of the Jewish sacrificial system. That rent veil proclaimed that the Father was approachable by all men because of Jesus. That rent veil means that whosoever will, can come to Jesus and be saved by the grace of God. That rent veil means the Father’s Presence is here…open…available…yours! Do you have times when you sense the Presence?
