The Secret of the Veil

For the Most Holy Day of Atonement the high priest spent days preparing himself.  On that special day, he laid aside his high priest garments – the identity of his position – and washed his body in water removing all dirt and contaminates. He then clothed himself in plain white linen and presented himself with the blood of a bull and a ram before the veil of the Holy of Holies.  The High Priest then, having been washed with water and his sins covered by the blood of animals, would pass through the veil to make atonement for the people before the mercy seat. 

 

And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. 1 John 5:8 

 

Three bear witness on earth to the salvation of Jesus: Holy Spirit, the water of cleansing and the Blood of the Lamb.  So often in our society today, we forget how important the baptism in water is for our spiritual beings.  But it is with this water that we are buried in our sins and risen with Christ into our new spiritual beings.  And the water of baptism, along with Holy Spirit and the Blood of Jesus, stands as witnesses on our behalf of our privilege to enter through the veil – just as the high priest entered the Holy of Holies with water and blood. 

 

Hebrews 10:19-22 says:   

  • Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest What is now the Holiest place?  The throne of God in the heavenly sphere which is in the spirit realm. 

 

  • By the blood of Jesus,  by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh:  How?  By the blood of Jesus by a way which He Himself created through the veil – His flesh.  When the spear ripped Jesus’ side and pierced the covering around the heart, blood and water flowed out.  This covering called the pericardium with the fluid performs three main functions: it protects the heart, prevents the heart from overstretching and keeps the heart in its place. In the same way, with Holy Spirit’s guidance, the Blood of Jesus and the water baptism protects us from sin and death, allows us to do the works of Christ and keeps us close to the Lord. 

 

  • And having a High Priest over the house of God Jesus Christ is now our high priest.  Just as the high priest in the Old Testament was in charge over the workings of the temple and who did or did not enter, Jesus is the One in authority over the heavenly temple. 

 

  • 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.   We now have access into God’s throne room, the Holy of Holies, by faith, knowing we are cleansed by the Blood of Jesus and washed with the water of baptism.   

 

We do not come arrogantly through the veil into the spirit realm and march into the throne room like we are entitled.  No.  We come humbly knowing that we have the witnesses of Holy Spirit, the Blood of Jesus and the water of baptism standing in testimony for us that we have privileged access into the holiest of all holy places.
