NOW FROM THE SIXTH HOUR [noon], UNTIL THE NINTH
HOUR [3 P M], THERE WAS DARKNESS OVER ALL THE
LAND. AND ABOUT THE NINTH HOUR JESUS CRIED OUT
WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELI, ELI, LAMA
SABACHTHANI?" THEN, BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE
TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM;
AND THE EARTH QUAKED, AND THE ROCKS WERE
SPLIT.
( MATTHEW 27:45 & 51 *NKJV )

Charles, the Holy Veil being torn from top to bottom
signified God's opening up the Temple [Church] to all
people, Gentile as well as Jew. Thus making us all part
of the Body of Christ!

You see, the temple veil separated the most holy place
called the "Holly of Hollies," where God was to reside, from
the people. Only the high priest was allowed to pass behind
the veil, and then only on the "Day of Atonement." ( see LEV
16:20 ) Thus, the people of the Old Testament could only
approach God through a priest and a blood sacrifice to be
forgiven of their sins. A young male lamb was the customary
sacrifice offered for this in the Temple at Jerusalem.

Also of Note; Jesus died exactly at 3 PM, which was the
exact time of the evening sacrifice at the Temple.

Therefore Christ became our sacrifice, for that is why
John the Baptist said: "BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD WHO
TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD." ( JOHN 1:29 )
when he saw Jesus coming. Also the Apostle Paul wrote:
FOR INDEED CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER, WAS SACRIFICED
FOR US. THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST.
( 1 CORINTHIANS 5:7 ) Amen.

Have a wonderful weekend Charles, and why not attend
the Church of your choice as we celebrate Christ's
Resurrection this Sunday!

Also Charles, if you have children, please teach them what
Easter is really all about, so they do not grow up thinking
it is only about bunny rabbits and colored eggs and candy.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
