Tearing Of The Temple Curtain: Why Was This Significant?

by

by JACK WELLMAN · When Jesus died on the cross, the temple curtain (also known as the temple veil) was torn.  Why did this happen?  What was the significance of the veil being torn and why was it torn from the top down? The Temple Curtain’s Purpose The veil was a long, woven curtain that was purple, scarlet and blue.  This curtain or veil was for the purpose of separating the Most Holy Place which held the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat.  Sitting on top of the Ark was a gold lid.  This was the place for the propitiation …

Christ Seated in the Heavenlies

by

Reflections From the Psalms Christ Seated in the Heavenlies O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

“Do as thou hast said.” 2 Samuel 7:25

by

“Do as thou hast said.” 2 Samuel 7:25 God’s promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; he intended that they should be used. God’s gold is not miser’s money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see his promises put in circulation; he loves to see his children bring them up to him, and say, “Lord, do as thou hast said.” We glorify God when we plead his promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the riches he has promised? Do you …
