Q1. (Hebrews 10:19-21) How did the veil of the Tabernacle function in Old Testament worship?
The veil of the tabernacle in the Old Testament functioned as a barrier that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place or the Holy of Holies, where the ark of the covenant, representing God's throne or dwelling place, was located. All men did not have to God, only the serving priest.
What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion?
When Jesus died, this heavy curtain in the Temple in Jerusalem was rent in two from top to bottom signifying that Christ's death removed the separation between God and man.
Why is our access to God called a "new and living way"?
Our access to God is called a "new and living way" because the tradition of the priest going to God on behalf of man was no longer necessary. In the "new and living way" every man can go to God for himself.
In what sense is it new?
New because access to God didn't exist for all humans before Jesus opened up the way through his sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
In what sense is it living?
Living because Jesus is not a mere martyr but a resurrected and living Savior, who "always lives to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25) for us. Today, right now Jesus is interceding, to the Father, on our behalf.

[/quoteThe curtain, of course, is the heavy veil of the tabernacle that seperated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place or the Holy of Holies, where the ark of the covenant, representing God's throne or dwelling place was located.
The Most Holy Place in the temple was sealed from view by a curtain, Only the high priest could enter this holy room, and he did so only once a year on the Day of Atonement when he offered the sacrifice for the nation's sins.
Jesus' death removed the curtain, and all believers may walk into God's presence at any time.We have significant privileges associated with our new life in Christ, we have personal access to God through Christ and can draw near to Him without an elaborate system.
It is a "new and living way ," because it didn't exist for humans before Jesus opened up the way through His sacrifice for our sins, and living because He is not a mere martyr but a resurrected and living Savior, who "always lives to make intercession" for us. We may grow in faith, overcome doubts and questions, and deepen our relationship with God.

It seperated the Spirit of God from the unholy presence of the people and caused the priest to fear the presence of God to the wxtent that they tied bells and rope to the high Priest ankles so the would know if he was not moving. It meant that there was a seperation between the people and God.
The veil being torn meant that the seperation of the people and God had been removed and that they were now at liberty to go to the Lord on their own.
It is a new and living way because that Jesus has been raised from the dead. He is now living and interseding for us as our High Priest. It is new in that Jesus is a live it is new because it replaced the old law and the sacrifices of animals with the sacrifice of the true lamb of God for us the last and greatest sacrifice.
It is living because Christ is living in every believer and is preparing a place for those who chose to follow Him and live the lives that He has called each of us to do.

It was impossible for anyone to penetrate the veil of the Holy of Holies into the presence of God and live. The high priest, once a year, dutifully cleansed in ritual fashion, was permitted entry just one time each year, and even he went in prepared to die and be brought out by rope in that condition. Thle fact was that the animal blood they brought in was never satisfactory as the removal of their personal sins. It had nothing to do with their entry into a world of sin, and would nave nothing to do with their exit. The veil represented their carnal, fleshly nature, which covered their eyes from seeing God, and, reluctantly, inhibited communion.
When Jesus died - His flesh was killed - then, for the first time since Adam sinned, a completej, unblemished, holy human being had not given in to fleshly desire. Satan was beaten by a human being, and the curtain representing flesh was no longer needed, for Christ could proceed on into the Presence of the most High God without fear of failure or death. He could take us in with Him if we are willing.This creates the new and living way - namely that Christ has done all that is needed, and we are to appropriate it for ourselves. This is a new and living way, because there is total depencence on access to the Life within Jesus who lives even today.
It was new at the time of pentecostcost. It was a revelation of the Holy Spirit that they received on that day, and in whom they operated ever after that day. Revelation is new every day, as is God's message and plan for the day.
It lives, because of the victorious life of Jesus on which it is totally dependent.

In the Old Testament the veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (the Especially Holy Place). Only the High Priest Could enter in to make atonement for sin.
When the veil was torn in two upon Jesus' crucifixion the statement was made that all could now enter in to the Holiest of Holies.
The new and living way that we have access to God is Jesus, who is alive and well. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. This is new because we all have access to the Father, at any time. Living, because as mentioned, we go through Jesus, who is very much alive.

The veil seperated people from veiwing the Holy room. Only the High Priest was to enter the Holy of Holies room, and he did so only once a year on the Day of Atonement when he offered the sacrifice for the nations sins.
Jesus' death removed the veil or curtain, and all believers may walk into God's presence at any time.
This is new and living in that Jesus did it Once and for all, we only need to believe in Him and we are safe.

The heavy veil guarded the Holy of Holies place, where the Ark of the Covenant was,(the dwelling place of God) from being entered by humans directly, other than the High Priest, who entered once a year to offer the blood offering of animal sacrifices to atone for the sins of the people. At the time of Jesus' death, this veil ripped open from top to bottom, literally opening the way for all of us to personally come directly into God's presence. There was no longer a separation between God and man. Our access to God was new, as it had never been possible before, until Jesus opened the way for us through personally dying for our salvation from eternal death. It is "living" to this day, as our resurrected and living Saviour interceded for us when He died and rose again. He lives for us today as well.

The curtain is the heavy veil of the tabernacle that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place or the Holy of Holies, where the ark of the covenant, representing God's throne or dwelling place, was located
What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion?

Why is our access to God called a "new and living way"?
It is a "new and living way," new because it didn't exist for humans before Jesus opened up the way through his sacrifice for our sins, and living because he is not a mere martyr but a resurrected and living Savior, who "always lives to make intercession" for us.
In what sense is it new?
It is new in the sense that human did not have access to God before Jesus died on the cross for our sin.[/color]

1. The veil of the Tabernacle separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was located. This was where God's throne.
2. Ripping of the veil signifies that with Christ dying on the cross, we would no longer be separated from God.
3. This means that a new way would be made by a living savior
4. It was new because it didn't exixt for man before Jesus died for our sins.
5. It was living because Christ was not a martyr, but a ressurrected and living savior who will forever make inter cession for us.

The veil's purpose was to keep separate the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies.
As described in the Synoptic Gospels, the veil being torn from top to bottom, is ascribed to the 'barrier' being removed between God and man.
It is new because the way of the old was going through a priest who 'took' the sins of Israel and sacrificed bulls, goats for remision of sins.
With Christ, he was the perfect sacrifice, only once was needed and He has paved the way for us to come straight to the Father.
It is living because through Christs resurrection, He is now our Living Saviour, not a martyr.

The veil separated the Holy Place from The Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant was located, which was God's Throne.
This gives us total access to the Throne. It opened a way into God's very presence and the Throne of Grace. It removed the separation between God and man.
It is new and living because of Jesus. He is Alive and living among us. He lives to make intercession for His people.
It is new because the Israaelites had limited access to God.
It is living because Jesus is alive. Our Living Savior!!!

The veil separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place in the Tabernacle. The Ark of the Convenant was in the Holy of Holies and God's presence was upon it. The High Priest was the only person God permitted to enter the Holy of Holies once a year to spinkle sacrifical blood upon the mercy seat for the atonement of sin as instructed in Leviticus. This was atonement for the sins of the people of Israel. Again, only the High Priest, as instructed in Leviticus, was permitted to enter the Holy of Holies. Anyone else would die.
The significance of the veil tearing down the center during Jesus' crucifixation signified God making Himself accessible to everyone, not just the High Priest.
Having sacrificed Himself in His body on the cross, Jesus our High Priest entered the Most Holy Place and He made sinners perfect in holiness so that they too may enter through the curtain, His sacrificed and resurrected body being for us the new and living way. It is new in that Jesus instituted the New Convenant and living in that Jesus is our High Priest mediating for us in Heaven.

Q1. (Hebrews 10:19-21) How did the veil of the Tabernacle function in Old Testament worship?
The veil of the Tabernacle separated God (the Holiest) from (the unholy).
What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion?
By the veil being ripped in two Jesus' crucifixion removed the barrier between God and man.
Why is our access to God called a "new and living way"?
It is called a new and living way because there is no longer anything that separates man from God.
In what sense is it new?
It is new because it is a new covenant between God and man. Man's debt was bought and paid for by the suffering and death of Christ.
In what sense is it living?
It is living because Jesus is the living God.

The veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy place in the tabernacle. Only the high priest could enter, and only at specific times in the year.
When the veil was ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion Jesus' sacrifice made the way to God. The curtain/veil was not needed anymore.
Our access to God is the new & living way because we don't have to go through a priest or any other means to speak to God ourselves & Jesus is our ever-living priest!

Behind the curtain represented God's throne. The veil being ripped in two represented the elimination of the screen between us and God. It is new because it didn't exist before and it is living because Christ was resurrected.

The veil in the Old Testement was what seperated the un-holy from the Holy Living God, Our Creator. According to Jewish tradition, even to this day, when a son dies, his father tears his shirt as a sign of his agony and mourning. This is still traditional at Jewish funerals worldwide. The tearing away, of the curtain, was the opening of the path which leads us to God, by following Christ Jesus through His blood, to the Everlasting Father. Jesus leads us there.
When The Son of God died,, His Father tore His veil. It is because of His great mercy toward us, that He allowed His Son to die for our redemption. And the tearing of that veil allows us to enter the Holy of Holies and fellowship with Him.. Jesus is the mediator who paid the ransom for our sin, once and for all with his blood, through His flesh.
Jesus cleared the way, made the path open, similar to the goat in Leviticus. The goat took upon it all their iniquities, carrying them to a land cut off , a land of forgetfulness and separation. and went out into the wilderness, and lived. Jesus who is alive and sitting at the right hand of the throne, making intersession for us, before God. the alive and living God, whom we can now go to, through Jesus Christ.
Christ did not enter a man made sanctuary, He entered the true sanctuary, which is in heaven in the very presence of God. Not a copy, like Jesus is not a copy of the goat or the lamb, but the true and living way.
The veil in the Old Testement was what seperated the un-holy from the Holy Living God, Our Creator. According to Jewish tradition, even to this day, when a son dies, his father tears his shirt as a sign of his agony and mourning. This is still traditional at Jewish funerals worldwide. The tearing away, of the curtain, was the opening of the path which leads us to God, by following Christ Jesus through His blood, to the Everlasting Father. Jesus leads us there.
When The Son of God died,, His Father tore His veil. It is because of His great mercy toward us, that He allowed His Son to die for our redemption. And the tearing of that veil allows us to enter the Holy of Holies and fellowship with Him.. Jesus is the mediator who paid the ransom for our sin, once and for all with his blood, through His flesh.

Q1. (Hebrews 10:19-21) How did the veil of the Tabernacle function in Old Testament worship?
The veil served to separate the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. Only the Priest could enter and ask for forgiveness of sins for himself and the people.
What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion?
When the veil was ripped, it signified that the people were no longer separated from God.
Why is our access to God called a "new and living way"?
We no longer need a priest to intervene for us, we, ourselves, can go to God in prayer.
In what sense is it new?
It was new because this didn’t exists between humans and God before Jesus’ sacrifice.
In what sense is it living?
It’s the living way because Christ lives today.

If we meet today and you forget me, you have lost nothing. But if you meet Jesus Christ and forget Him, you have lost everything.
There is more joy in Jesus in 24 hours than there is in the world in 365 days. I know, I've tried them both.

The veil separated God from the people because of the people’s sin. Only the high priest was allowed to go beyond the veil for the people.
The veil being rent in two meant that people now had access to go before God.
It’s new because we no longer need a human high priest to represent us.
It is living because Jesus is alive seated next to God. When we go to God, Jesus our high priest is there with us.
