The Veil
We often hear the phrase go beyond the veil. In the old covenant, the veil separated us from the Holy of Holies. It separated us from the very presence of God. One would say it prevented intimacy with the glory of God. How does this apply to us today? We still have a veil that separates us from the very presence – – the Shenikah of God, and it is our flesh. Leviticus 16 paints the picture of exactly how and when God wanted His priests to come into His presence. There is still a way He wants us, His priests, to come to Him. Some of us have become so casual with Him due to this dispensation of grace. We neglect to look to the shadows and typologies of the old covenant to gain an understanding of how to revere and esteem Him. Yes, now He tells us to come boldly to His throne of grace (due to Yeshua’s [Jesus’] sacrifice), but He still has a way He does not want us to come and that way is in the flesh. Do not be deceived; God does not want us in His presence with idolatry, witchcraft, fear, doubt, disbelief, impurity, indecency, and divisions? So, you aren’t entering in! There is a veil blocking you. Yes, I’m aware of the fact that we are in this imperfect container until Christ returns. At the same time, our flesh is our enemy, and we must do like Paul and beat it into subjection if we are going to live in the Spirit (His presence) and not in the flesh. I don’t know about your flesh, but my flesh has been taking some beatings lately! Yeshua (Jesus) has made His enemies, including our flesh, His footstool. Let’s do our part and appropriate this victory every day. Here’s a good place to start:
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) – Hebrews 10:19-23
By the way, “our part” is to obey His promptings which always lead us to please the Father, to live a consecrated life – can’t go everywhere, say everything, and God forbid, everybody ain’t your friend/ministry partner.
Resting gloriously in Him,
