Subject: Was the temple curtain repaired? |
Bible Note: Hi, Prayon... That's an interesting idea. However, it is hard to imagine that the Jews would have allowed the veil to remain in disrepair. I suspect that they wouldn't have wanted it even known that anything untoward had occurred. Also, remember, that the tearing was a sign that the Shekinah Glory was no longer in the Holy of Holies. Now, in the New Covenant, the Shekinah dwells in the hearts of His saved elect (Ephesians 2). Thus, even if the veil were repaired, it would not seperate us from God. As a thought provoker, I like to ask believers, "If a person could go up to the Ark of the Covenant today and touch it, would he die?" The answer, of course, is "No." The Ark -- if it exists -- is just a box. That which sanctified it is no longer there! In Him, Doc |
