1 | When did the curtain rip? | Luke 23:45 | CDBJ | 170991 | ||
Greetings, I believe that the first death, for our sins, took place when Jesus said the following. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Isaiah 53:4-5 along with Psalm. 22:1 were only prophesies of the actual situation when Messiah would pay the ultimate price. Considering that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself, I would concur with the answer that Tim Moran responded with as to the exact time that the veil was split. Post #170953. I think an interesting observation would be that approximate thickness of the veil that separated the innermost parts of the temple! I’ve "heard" that it was nearly 2” thick. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? CDBJ |

2 | When did the curtain rip? | Luke 23:45 | LuvHisWurds | 171001 | ||
Dear CDBJ, Thank you for your response. Your question (thickness) may have answered mine. According to the Mishana, there were two curtains in Herod's Temple spaced a cubit apart. Thus, two curtains could be the two rippings that are shown in Matt/Mk and Luke. As for the thickness, it states (Bab., Shekalim 8:5) that "each curtain was a handsbreadth thick" (4"/10cm). |
