Reason number 7 for not studying the tabernacle is because …the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. Doesn’t this signify that we (believers) now have direct access to Jehovah?
The veil was hung between the holy place and the ‘holiest of holiest’ where Jehovah dwelt between the cherubim. It kept the priest from entering into the presence of Jehovah but, at the same time, permitted them to enter the holy place and conduct their daily priestly duties.
If the tearing of the veil means that we now have direct access, then what does Hebrews 10:20 mean when it speaks of the veil as Jesus’s flesh … the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh…?
To answer, it helps to know what the veil looked like, what it was made of, how it was hung and what it was hung on. Since the veil is a type of Christ, studying the tabernacle [and the veil], helps us understand Him.
