I am not really sure what symbolism is involved with heaven being torn open at the baptism of Jesus. As far as the temple veil being torn in two, it goes like this: Up to the point that Jesus was crucified, the Jews had to perform daily sacrifices for sin offerings. When Jesus died and spilled His blood, brought it to the Mercy Seat in Heaven, it forever did away with the need for sacrifices in the temple. Also, it opened the courts of heaven to anyone who believed in Christ and accepted the sacrifice He made for their sins. Now God's presence was open to all who believed, whereas before, only the High Priests could access God's presence, and then only once a year. The veil represented the barrier sin brought between man and God. Jesus's death on the cross broke down that barrier.
The tearing of heaven symbolizes the opening of a new chapter in salvation history, with Jesus bringing God's kingdom to earth. The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' death represents the end of the separation between God and humanity, signifying that all now have access to God through Jesus. Both events signify a shift in the way people relate to God, emphasizing closeness and direct connection.
Ziggurats, ancient Mesopotamian temple complexes, have a lasting impact on our world today through their influence on religious architecture and symbolism. They served as a physical link between heaven and earth, inspiring later religious structures such as churches and mosques that also aim to connect humanity with the divine. Additionally, ziggurats embody the power and authority of ancient rulers, influencing the way leaders construct monumental structures to demonstrate their dominance and control.

The Priesthood robe, as with all other temple clothing, is considered extremely sacred and not discussed outside the celestial room of the temple. Even then, temple workers are advised to not discuss what anything might mean, and allow the individual to receive the answers through prayer and continued temple worship. For all temple clothing, there is no officially published 'meaning' for anything. The meaning and symbolism of each article is meant to come to the individual through revelation, and may mean different things to different individuals. The only way to find out the meaning is through meaningful personal prayer and pondering in the temple. If you have concerns or questions about the temple clothing or garment, you may speak to your bishop or branch president, or call the Church Temple Clothing Department in Salt Lake City at 801-240-3333.
