All right, Exodus 26. The veil. Very important lesson. Very exciting lesson. We'll read verses 31 through 33. Verse 31. Exodus 26, 31, and thou shalt make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twine linen of cunning work with cherubims shall it be made. That sound familiar? What else was made like this? The curtains. Good job. Good job. I would say you pass but you got so many questions wrong up to this point. Verse 32 and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of Shittim wood overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold upon the four sockets of silver. And thou shalt hang the veil, hang up the veil under the tatches that thou mayest bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. So what is the purpose of this veil? It is divisive. It is meant to keep you out of the Holy Place. Now here's what's so amazing about this, and I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's worth telling you ahead of time anyways, just for the fun of it. Actually, before I tell you, let's jump over to Hebrews 10. Well, you don't have to keep your place. Well, yeah, keep your place in Exodus. We're going to go back there. Get Hebrews 10, and then before we read that, We'll read one more place in Exodus. Hebrews 10, and then go back to Exodus and get Exodus 36. We'll read verses 35 and 36. Hebrews, sorry, Exodus 36, verses 35 and 36. And he made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twine linen with cherubims made he it of cunning work. And he made thereunto four pillars of shittum wood, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four sockets of silver. All right, now this veil is hung there to keep you out. All right, so behind this veil is the Holy of Holies, and it's where the Ark of the Covenant is kept and only the priest could go in there once a year for a very specific reason, for a very specific purpose, and if he made one mistake, God himself would strike him dead in the Holy of Holies. How'd you like that job? You show up, you make one mistake at work, and God strikes you dead. Not a great place to be. It's a great picture of the law. Now, Hebrews 10, And let's look at verse 19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to what? Enter. Now what was the purpose of the veil in the Old Testament? to divide to keep you out. Now we have this veil in the New Testament having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Now listen to this verse 20 by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us through the veil that is to say his flesh and having an high priest over the house of God. 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. So in the Old Testament the veil was to divide is to keep you out of the Holy the Holy of Holies. In the New Testament, the veil, that is to say His flesh, the body of Jesus Christ, that veil was brought into the world so that you could be invited in and not just brought in, but boldly enter in. Pretty amazing. So the veil is one of Scripture's most significant types. explicitly interpreted by the New Testament, and that's where the types, that's when they had their most strength. When you go through some of these types and pictures and you look at it, and again, some of it is subjective. You know, can you make this make sense? Does it fit? Does it point to Jesus Christ or to the church or to God the Father or whatever, whatever this, you know, redemption, you have the sockets of silver and the connection to redemption. Well, there's enough of a connection there to say, yeah, okay, I see it. But in this case, you're told explicitly that his body is that veil and that it is no longer no longer does that veil serve the purpose of being divisive. You are now being brought in with boldness. Through the body of Jesus Christ. So Hebrews 10 19 through 20 provides the definitive explanation and what a great picture it is. Now here's, I'll go ahead and, this is gonna come up in the lesson, but I'll go ahead and tell you now, because it's always exciting and fun to talk about. But how many pillars held up the veil and the tabernacle? Four. four pillars held up the veil and the tabernacle. Now that veil is a picture of the body of Jesus Christ, which is held up by four pillars, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all of which give you a full picture of Jesus Christ in the days of his flesh. Somebody wrote a book about that. And so the veil represents Jesus Christ incarnate humanity, his body, his flesh, as the sole pathway to the access of God's presence. There's no other way. If you came to the Old Testament veil through the law, through works, you were kept out of the Holy of Holies. Now you come through Jesus Christ and God says, not only come in, but come boldly into the holiest of all, not the holy of holies, the holiest of all. Just come walking right in the door, go right into the throne room and stand before God himself and do it with great boldness and go pour your heart out to him and he'll listen. All because you trusted in Jesus Christ. It's pretty incredible. There may not be a more glorious truth in the Bible than right now, God tells you to come before his throne. Now obviously, you don't get to physically go walk in there yet. That day might come. But right now, God would have you understand that when you bow your knee and you pray to him, you are coming right to his throne room and pouring your heart out to him, all because you trusted in Jesus Christ. Under the law, this veil barred all approach. It's rending at Calvary open the way for every believer to draw near praise the Lord number one the materials four colors with a cherubim. just like the curtains. And thou shalt make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twine linen of cunning work. With cherubim shall it be made. That's Exodus 26 31. The veil was made from four materials woven together with a cherubim embroidered upon it. These are identical to the materials of the inner curtains, revealing Christ's person in fourfold glory. Who remembers what blue stands for? Royalty. God. Heaven. Yeah. Heaven. And heaven points to what? God, which points to what? Matthew. No. John presents the deity of Christ. Blue is the color of heaven, Exodus 24 10, paved work of a sapphire stone. Christ blue speaks of his heavenly origin. The second man is the Lord from heaven. That's in first Corinthians 15 47. Throughout John's gospel, Christ is presented as the word, God, the creator. And God was made manifest in the body of flesh. The next color was purple. Matthew, yes. Royal majesty. Matthew's gospel presents Jesus as the king. Purple presents kingship and authority. Christ is the King of the Jews, explicitly emphasized in Matthew. Though he came in humiliation, he is eternally the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Scarlet. Sacrifice and suffering. What would that point to? Well, what book? Mark. He's a servant. Scarlet speaks of blood and sacrifice. Psalm 22 6 says I am a worm and no man a passage that the Lord quoted in Psalm 22, which Mark emphasizes Mark 15 34. Scarlet represents his death his suffering as the servant who gave us life a ransom for many Mark 10 45. The fine twine linen White. Any guesses? There's only one left. Yeah, Luke, the man. Now, obviously, White wouldn't naturally point you in that direction, but the idea is it's related to his spotless humanity. He was a sinless man. Fine linen is pure and white, representing the righteousness of the saints, Revelation 19, 8. Luke emphasizes Christ's perfect humanity, his sinlessness, his growth in wisdom and stature, Luke 2, 52, his immaculate character throughout his earthly life. So in the four Gospels, you need all four Gospels to fully understand who Jesus is. All four Gospels present a different perspective of the same person. Just as a man can be a father, and he can be an engineer, and he can be a son, and he has all these different realities, it's all the same person. But you could describe that person, that one person, from any of those vantage points and be telling the truth about that person. and that's what the four Gospels do. They provide four different perspectives of the same person, all of which are completely true. People say, well, how can they all be true? Well, the same reason that you can be a father and a son. Well, which one are you? Are you the father or are you the son? Well, I'm both. I'm a brother, I'm a cousin. Well, which one are you? You can't be both. Of course you can. So all those are different perspectives of the Lord. Unity through cherubim. With cherubims shall it be made, woven together with cunning workmanship. That's the part where I would have been left out. I need you to wove these cherubim into this fabric. OK, I can figure it out. I got YouTube. I can figure that out. Yeah, but I want it done with, how do you say, cunning workmanship. Oh. Yeah. I think you got the wrong person. I'm not going to be able to help you there. With cherubim, shall it be made? The cherubims signify the presence of God's holiness and judgment. They guard the way to God's presence as they did in Eden's gate when man was expelled in Genesis 3, 24. God sent cherubim and a flaming sword to keep man from coming back into the garden. Their presence on the veil reminds us that sin has barred access to God. The veil is a barrier that no sinful creature can pass through. So if you consider the picture, in Genesis 3, those cherubim were sent to escort man out. You cannot come back. They were ushered out of the Garden of Eden and not allowed to return. And anytime they looked back in that direction what they saw were cherubim and a flaming sword. Now if the cherubim didn't convince you the flaming sword would certainly convince you. Yeah, I'm not allowed to go back there. And so You take that same idea, and you approach the tabernacle, and you go inside, and you're like, man, the Holy of Holies is right behind that veil. And yet, there's a cherubim standing there looking at you, like, don't go in there. It is. It's really amazing that all of this was produced, and none of us would have even been allowed inside the other one. Right. And so and you remember that the the veil was in the tabernacle and then it was also in the temple and the same was true in the temple. You did not go into the Holy of Holies unless you were allowed to be there under very very specific pretenses. Now next you have the four pillars the redeemed holding up the truth. All right, so we're going to take a different perspective on this this time. And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittum wood, overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold upon the four sockets of silver." Exodus 26, 32. The veil hung from four pillars, each made of shittum wood, overlaid with gold, resting on silver sockets. What does the gold represent? I am failing you as your teacher. That's what it is. Gold is representative in the Bible, typically, of God. What does silver represent? Really? Wow. I've got to rethink my life choices. Silver is representative every time that we've talked about it. of redemption. What about the Shittam wood? Who remembers that? I give up. Well, that's the bars. So the wood itself is representative of humanity. And then Shittemwood is incorruptible humanity, which is a great picture of Jesus. Yes. Is that what you said? Are you lying to me right now? All right. Good job. Now, 1 Timothy 3.15 says, the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. Isn't that interesting? Four pillars represent believers, the redeemed people of God, who are called to uphold the testimony of Christ's person. Now, you have what we already talked about, the four pillars, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is also true that the church is considered the pillar, and it is our job to uplift, to hold up Jesus Christ. These pillars are made of wood and you already know very well and won't ever forget again that wood is representative of humanity, right? Redemption. Gold is partaking of the divine nature through Jesus Christ. We have the Holy Spirit sealed within us and we stand on silver sockets. We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. And then all that to support the veil, the precious truth of Christ incarnate, his flesh given for us. And so while it is true, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are four pillars upholding the veil, beautiful picture of Jesus Christ and the unity of the New Testament and the Old Testament. And then it's also true that it's your job to go out and tell people about Jesus Christ and to uplift or hold up Christ, not in some sense that he is you know weak and needs us to hold him up. But the idea is that you are supposed to lift up the Lord Jesus Christ and tell people in your life in your world about him. And then they can come join us one day. Maybe hopefully this is a beautiful picture of the Lord. Now number three is the golden hooks. What does gold stand for? Good job. Their hooks shall be of gold, Exodus 26, 32. The hooks are pure gold, speaking of deity. All truth regarding Christ hangs upon his divine nature. You cannot separate his humanity and his deity. Both are 100% true. Now again, this throws a lot of people off. They read the Bible and sometimes they're reading about Jesus and he looks like a man. They're like, so is he a man? Yes. Well, I thought you said he was God. Yes. Is he God or is he man? Yes. Well, he can't be both. He is both. Well how can that be? I don't know. I can't explain to you how God took God, a part of him, himself, and a body of flesh and joined them together and became God made manifest in the flesh. I'm just being honest with you. I have no clue. And for me to even begin to try and explain it to you, I would just be making it up. Now to deny his deity is to pull down the entire truth of his person. If he's not God, then he, you know, there's that saying, he's either, either he is God or he's a lunatic and a liar. He sure represented himself to be God. The Jews took up stones several times because they said, you make yourself God. So He is God and man. He is fully human and fully divine. This is, we'll just read it. Go to 1 Timothy 3. It's worth reading, it's fun reading. 1 Timothy chapter 3. Well, if I can find 1 Timothy. Pretty sure it's in this Bible. All right, 1 Timothy 3. And let me see, how much do I want to read? One sec. Let's go back to 14, verse 14. 1 Timothy 3, 14. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God. Isn't that a blessing? Each other is a way to behave in the house of God. So you can't just show up and do what you want. God has an expectation that you're going to act a certain way. You're going to present yourself a certain way. And it's not up to the pastor to determine what that is. It's up to the Word of God. But behave thyself in the house of God, which is what? the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. Now, verse 16, and without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. What is this mystery? God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. So the mystery of godliness is that God, it states it explicitly, clearly, God was manifest in the flesh. So when it comes to Jesus Christ and this relationship with gold and gold being representative of deity, you cannot separate the deity of Jesus Christ from his humanity. If all you had was a man made manifest in the flesh, then what do you have? Nothing. I'm a man made manifest in the flesh and I'm not going to save your soul. Every man you know is made manifest in the flesh. What is so mysterious about that? The mystery of godliness is very explicit that God was made manifest in the flesh. And so that points us back to the gold used in the tabernacle, which represents the deity of Jesus Christ. And this is what's so amazing about this. Here's where it all kind of ties together. What does wood represent? Humanity. What does Shittam would specifically point to incorruptible Humanity, which is Jesus Christ overlaid in gold. You see all that fits together. So perfectly the deity of Christ the would the incorruptible would it all just ties together and gives you this beautiful picture of Jesus Christ. Very interesting. Number four, the veils function, separation and barrier. And the veil shall divide. Man, that's got to be some of the most striking words in the Bible. You're making this beautiful tabernacle. You've got all these beautiful inner curtains. You've made this wonderful craftsmanship. And then you're going to put up these four pillars and put the veil there. And then you say, OK, now what? Now you can't go in there. Do not cross that veil. If you do, God himself will strike you dead on the spot. Well, why do we make all this? We can't go in there. Don't you go in there. This is where modern Christianity has this very flippant idea about God. He's this big teddy bear in the sky that just loves everybody and is okay with everything everybody does. I've told you before in Orlando, there's a very modernistic church in Orlando that has a big billboard on I-4 and it says, God loves you. No, no, God sees you and he loves what he sees. Now I get what they're trying to do. I understand. But what is the pedophile driving down I-4 supposed to think when he sees that? God sees me and he loves what he sees. What is the murderer, the thief, the rapist supposed to think when they see that sign? That sign is objectively untrue. There is nothing true about that sign whatsoever. Now the reason God sent his son into the world to die a brutal, violent death is because God is not happy with what he sees. There's another church in the land that had a sign that said, God is not angry. Now again, I understand what they're trying to do. They're trying to make God more palatable to people. But the Bible literally says God is angry with the wicked every single day. And some of our friends being the the jovial you know, charismatic, loving people they are, called that church and asked them about that verse. And they hung up on them. They didn't answer. So God, this is the reality about God. God is righteous, and he is holy, and he is extremely judgmental. And if you are subject to his judgment, you should be terrified. You should be fearful. It should make your skin crawl to think about what God could and would do to you with respect to judgment. But God is also love, and God is also merciful and gracious. Both are true, but when you only pick one or the other, you are painting an improper, unbalanced picture of who God is. You should fear Him because of what He can and will do to you. Jesus said, don't fear men, fear Him. Fear God. And also, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. And so you need to have that proper balance. This veil presents that side of God. This veil is telling you, you are dealing with a God who is warning you with this cherubim, with this veil, do not come in here. I am holy. I am righteous. You cross that veil and I will strike you dead. There are numerous times in the Old Testament where God himself struck men dead. He had, you know, what was his name, Uzzah, with this new cart. What's that? That's Uzzah with the new cart to carry the ark of God. And it became unstable, and he thought the ark was going to fall. And so he did what anybody would do. He reached out and grabbed it to stabilize it, and boom. God killed him. Lester Roloff used to say, he said the modernists, if they saw Jesus outside the temple and they walked up and said, well Jesus, what are you doing? Making a whip. And he said they would walk away, that's just not like Jesus, I don't understand. And he went in and overturned the money changers and cleared the temple. So the veil formed a boundary. Beyond it was the Most Holy Place, where God's glory dwelt, where the Ark of the Covenant rested, and where He met with the High Priest and only the High Priest. And the high priest had to come in. His outfit, his uniform had to be perfect. His sacrifice had to be perfect. He had to do everything right. It's a very legalistic, high level of requirements. Do not mess it up or God himself will strike you dead. It's a scary idea. The Holy Ghost, this signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest while as the first tabernacle was yet standing. Let's turn to Hebrews 9. I want you to see that. Get Hebrews 9 and Hebrews 10. Hebrews 9. And let's see. How far back do I want to go? I want to start in verse 1 and read down because it's directly related to what we're studying. Verse 1, Hebrews 9 verse 1. Then verily the first covenant, what's that related to? The first covenant? The Old Testament. Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service. And a worldly what? Sanctuary. Verse 2, for there was a tabernacle. There was a tabernacle made, the first wherein was the candlestick and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary. And after the second, what was after the second? Veil. After the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the holiest of all, which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, all that is in the behind that veil right verse five and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat all this is part of the ark of the covenant all behind the veil of which we cannot now speak particularly now when these things were thus ordained the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people." So you can go into that first part of the tabernacle, no problem, if you're a priest and you're allowed to be in there. Into the second, You better not go in there, not unless you're the high priest and not unless you come in there with the blood and you're ready to make sacrifice for yourself and for the people. Verse 8, the Holy Ghost, this signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest. that this veil still serves up to this point as a barrier. It is divisive. It's to keep you out. And it says, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing, which was the figure for the time then present in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him that did the service perfect. What did they do for them? Well, it was temporary, but they did not and then it goes on. It could not make them perfect as pertaining to the conscience. And then we'll look at in Hebrews 10 and Hebrews 10. It says the same priest had to come back every year and give the same sacrifice because it just it. It was just a temporary a temporary appeasement. Verse 10, which stood only in meats and drinks and divers washings and carnal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation. Now with that in mind, alright, so in that old tabernacle, The veil is divisive. You cannot go in there unless you're the high priest. You got to have blood. You got to give an offering for yourself and for the people. You could do it once a year. You do not go in there because up until that point there's been no way made open for people to go into the holiest of all, right? Then come to chapter 10. Let's start in verse 3. But in those sacrifices, there is a remembrance again made of sins, how often? Every year. Every year. Verse 4, for it is not possible. You see that. So, if I tried hard enough, would it be possible? If I put in enough effort, would it be possible? If I gave enough sacrifices, if I gave perfect enough sacrifices, if I kept the law perfectly, is it possible? Verse 4, For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice an offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God. Above, when he said, Sacrifices and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for sin, thou wouldst not, neither hast pleasure therein, which are offered by the law. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second, by the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. So with the tabernacle, in the old covenant, with the old system, they had to give the same sacrifices every year without fail, and it still was insufficient. Yet Jesus Christ comes, gives one sacrifice, and it's done. It continues, look at verse 11. And every priest standeth daily, ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never, never take away sins. Seems like God's getting at something here. Verse 12, but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice, four sins, forever, sat down on the right hand of God from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool for by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified and then it continues to what we're trying to get to whereof the Holy Ghost also is witness to us for after that he had said before this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days sayeth the Lord I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, all right, so up until this point, here's the argument. That old system, the law, the sacrifices, the tabernacle, the temple, the old veil, While God accepted those as temporary appeasement, they never pleased God, and they never took away sin. But then Jesus came, and he took on a body, and he died, and not only did it pay for sins, but it was one sacrifice forever, for all. You are sanctified forever through the body of Jesus Christ. But then verse 17 and 18 talking about this new covenant, verse 16 through 18, this new covenant. But here's what changed when Jesus died and made himself a sacrifice for all. You're not only sanctified, you're not only saved and your sins are covered, verse 19. Having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Remember when the priest went into the Holy of Holies behind that veil. What did he have to have blood? It's going to be it's going to be the blood of an animal. And now you and I we walk right in with boldness through the blood of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord. It's pretty incredible. Then it continues, verse 20, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. And having an high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. For He is faithful that promised, and let us consider one another, to provoke one another to love and to good works, now listen to this, verse 25, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching." So he said, if you've been saved, you have bold access to the holiest of all now through the blood of Jesus Christ and through the flesh of Jesus Christ. But if that's true, he literally just said, if that's true, go to church. Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together. Why are you missing church if you belong to Jesus? I just thought that's an interesting note that the Lord throws in there. By the way, since I did all this for you, go to church. And he says, and as we're getting closer to the last days, go more, not less. So just an interesting side note. So the veil was a barrier teaching that access to God's presence was not yet possible under the old covenant. The sinful cannot approach the holy without an anointed mediator and without blood. the veil as the flesh of Jesus Christ having therefore brethren boldness to enter in into the holiest by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the veil that is to say his flesh this verse provides a direct commentary through the veil that is his flesh that is to say his flesh his incarnate body a new and living way. His resurrection gives continued eternal access, bold access. God is literally telling you, you have, through the blood of Jesus Christ, you have every right to storm right into the throne room and pour your heart out to God. Now don't go in there and be disrespectful, obviously, but you are told repeatedly, to come in, to enter in with boldness in Hebrews 10. And so he opened all this through his sacrifice. Now here's the paradox of the veil. It's very interesting. As a barrier, Christ's sinless perfection, his absolute holiness, his divine nature, all created a distance between fallen man and a holy God. That's why God had to become flesh. When Peter witnessed his power, he cried, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. The veil speaks of his necessary distance. It's a barrier. But as a way, it was Christ's very flesh that became the pathway to God. His death, the rending of His flesh, opened access. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ that everyone may receive the things done in His body. His body, given in death, is the means by which sinners enter God's presence. Then you have the rending of the veil in Matthew 27, 51, and behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom. There was a veil in the temple that served the same role as the tabernacle. At the moment of Christ's death, the veil was torn from top to bottom. Remember, he told them, you know, tear down this temple and I'll build it up. I'll raise it up again in three days. It took us 40 years to build this temple. What are you talking about? He was talking about his body. He wasn't talking about the physical building. So all this was an act of God, not man. It was a declaration of access, that veil being torn. Well, now the Holy of Holies is exposed. You walk right in. What's going to stop you? And then you have the simultaneous with his death, As his flesh was given up, he yielded up the ghost, Matthew 27 50. And when he yielded up the ghost, the veil was rent. And then of course, it's permanent. The rending was not temporary. It declared the veil would never be reinstated. Now that temple will be rebuilt and temple worship will be reinstated in the tribulation during that time and it'll It'll continue until the Antichrist sets himself up in the temple as God. But until then, right now, there's a mosque where the temple's supposed to be. And that has to be reconciled. Romans 3.20 says, Therefore, by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. For by the law is the knowledge of sin. The law could not save. It could only reveal. can only point you to the Savior. The veil stood as a monument to man's inability to approach God. But Christ, through his flesh, given in death, has made the way available to anybody and everybody who will receive it. Amen. All right. I'll jump down to the conclusion. The veil of the tabernacle, woven with four colors in cherubim, stands as a type of Christ incarnate flesh. Beautifully constructed, it declared the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man, but it also concealed the way into God's presence. At Calvary, the veil was torn, opening a new and living way through Christ's death and resurrection. Today, every believer enters God's presence through the rent veil, through Christ's flesh given in sacrifice. There's no other way. The four pillars, redeemed by His blood, stand as testimonies of His glory. Our access is not earned but granted. Our approach is not fearful but bold. Our acceptance is not conditional but eternal in Christ. All that is available to us simply because you trusted in Jesus Christ. Something that was terrifying in the Old Testament. Now, you just freely walk in and talk to God. Pretty amazing. Amen? Any questions? So, heaven. Yeah, the color of heaven, yeah. Heavenly colors. And so in the, have you read any of the Lamb of God? Okay. There's a chapter in there called Jesus Christ and the days of his, no, the Lamb of God and the days of his flesh. And it details a lot of this information about the four gospels and what they represent and about Jesus Christ and a lot of other related information. So if you get a chance to read that chapter, it's along those lines, that type of information. Any other questions? All right. Let's pray, unless you want to stay and do some more lessons and go home. Father, thank you for being so good to us. Thank you for a good night, studying your word. Thank you for all that Jesus Christ has done for us. Lord, the more we learn about it, the more we understand it, the more incredible it is. And we just see more and more of all that he accomplished on the cross when he died for us. And the way that he made available, the boldness he made available, the stability he made available, the unity that he made available, all through his blood, all through his sacrifice. And we sure thank you and praise you for it. Help us, Lord, to live with Jesus Christ preeminent in our hearts and minds and lives. And we'll sure thank you and praise you. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
