The veil is rent! Lo! Jesus stands
Before the throne of grace;
And clouds of incense from His hands
Fill all that glorious place.
Before the throne of grace;
And clouds of incense from His hands
Fill all that glorious place.
2
His precious blood is sprinkled there,
Before and on the throne;
And His own wounds in heav’n declare
His work on earth is done.
Before and on the throne;
And His own wounds in heav’n declare
His work on earth is done.
3
’Tis finished!” on the cross He said,
In agonies and blood;
’Tis finished: now He lives to plead
Before the face of God.
In agonies and blood;
’Tis finished: now He lives to plead
Before the face of God.
4
’Tis finished!” Here our souls can rest,
His work can never fail;
By Him, our Sacrifice and Priest
We enter through the veil.
His work can never fail;
By Him, our Sacrifice and Priest
We enter through the veil.

A WAY OPENED
The deep significance of identification is that whether or not the way can be opened for people to contact God depends on the experience of this identification. If the veil is rent, then the way will be open for fallen people to contact God. Otherwise, the way will be closed. This means that when the flesh is dealt with, there is an entrance for fallen man to contact God and have fellowship with Him.
Before the veil was broken, there was no entry into the Holy of Holies. The priests could come into the Holy Place and approach the table, the lampstand, and the incense altar, but they could go no further. When the veil was rent, three entries were opened up. We say this on the basis of the probable location of the four pillars. It is likely that two were on each end, next to the standing boards, and that two were in between. This would make three entrances into the presence of God. If two pillars were not next to the standing boards, there would be no way to support the corners of the veil. Spiritually speaking, these three entrances typify the Triune God. In the New Jerusalem there are three gates on each of the four sides. These gates typify the Triune God as the entrance into the holy city. We see these gates in the three parables in Luke 15 : the Son as the Shepherd, the Spirit as the woman lighting a lamp, and the Father receiving the returned prodigal son. Also, in Ephesians 2:18 we read that in one Spirit we have access through Christ unto the Father. Therefore, the Triune God Himself is signified by the three entrances.
Once again we see that through the types in the tabernacle we can know Christ in a very detailed way. It is difficult to find words to convey what is portrayed by all these types. But even though we may not be able to utter what we see in these figures, deep within we can have a proper realization. This will strengthen us, nourish us, and help us to grow.
THE VEIL WITHIN THE TABERNACLE (1)
Life-study of Exodus
Message 99 (LSM)
Denver, CO, United States
Within the holiest of all,
Cleansed by His precious blood,
Before Thy throne Thy children fall,
And worship Thee, our God.
Boldly our heart and voice we raise,
His Name, His blood, our plea;
Assured our prayers and songs of praise
Ascend by Him to Thee.
