Hello again canthony, We are not told in scripture why the veil was torn from top to bottom? It is widely held that this was evidence that the tearing was from heaven and not of men. Hear is a short commentary from the Bible Knowledge Commentary which is consistent with what other commentaries state. At the time of Jesus’ death, three momentous events occurred. First, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. This curtain separated the holy place from the holy of holies in the temple (Heb. 9:2-3). The fact that this occurred from top to bottom signified that God is the One who ripped the thick curtain. It was not torn from the bottom by men ripping it. God was showing that the way of access into His presence was now available for everyone, not simply the Old Testament high priest (Heb. 4:14-16; 10:19-22).—Bible Knowledge Commentary Hope this helps, and I hope your not completing a homework assignment by asking others to answer the questions for you :) Jeff |
