YT Description/Post
📣 What does the veil from the Jewish Temple being torn mean? 🤔 Have you ever felt there was something standing between you and God? A barrier too thick to break through? There used to be a time when a single piece of fabric signified man's separation from God. The Tabernacle — and later, Temple — which housed the veil was more than a building. It was a sacred meeting place, embodying God’s presence with man. Yet, there was always a separation. This veil represented the barrier of sin that stood between the people of Israel and the Holy of Holies; between a sinful mankind and a holy God. But was our separation meant to last? Join us as we journey through Exodus 26 to reflect on the weight of sin, the sinfulness of man, and the holiness of God. Discover the extent of His incredible grace & mercy that broke through the veil and the reality of living in light of His ultimate sacrifice.
