Amen!.......from 'top' to bottom the veil was torn...no human hands could accomplish that.....an amazing confirmation that the access to God was open to any who come thru His Son.....astounding victory!
No longer necessary for any Priest to intercede....IT IS FINISHED....the battle is over....Jesus is Lord and our Great High Priest!
I agree! That is EXACTLY what God meant by rending the three-foot thick curtain from top to bottom. Before that, only the high priest (not just any ol' priest) could enter that area of the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle called the "Holy of Holies". It contained the Ark of the Covenant of which the top was called the "Mercy Seat". The high priest, even, could only enter once a year at Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The blood of a bull and goat was sprinkled upon the Mercy Seat and was an act of expiation for the sins of all the people. The people prepared for the observance by prayers, fasting and consideration of their sins for which the blood offering covered.
When the veil/curtain was torn, God was announcing that there was no more a need for the acts of the high priest. That the blood offerings of animals - that were only as a covering - were no longer needed because God himself made propitiation for all our sins. Sin was no longer just covered, but completely removed, taken away. And you are so right, the Mercy Seat of the Throne of God can now be accessed by all those who have received and trusted in Jesus Christ who IS the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Glory and hallelujah to his holy name!
