How was the temple veil made?
The temple veil in ancient Jewish temples was made of fine linen and was blue, purple, and scarlet in color. It was intricately woven with images of cherubim and served as a barrier to separate the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. The veil was meant to symbolize the separation between God and humanity, and only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.
Where is the Bible passage describing temple curtains?
The bible does not describe much of anything inside the temple. There are references to the "veil", which represents death, and some inferences to the "holy of holies", which represents the dwelling place of God, but descriptions are omitted to underline the symbolic nature of the temple and the temple service.
Bodies are the temple of the holy spirit what does this mean?
Prior to the death of Jesus the "spirit", or tangible manifestation of God, would reside on the ark of the covenant or in the holy of holies. With the death of Jesus the veil was torn and God's spirit could live within his people.
Where can you find in the bible how the priest got through the veil to enter the holy of holies?
In the King James version the word - veil - appears 7 times, but none of them give this information * Son 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. * Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; * Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. * Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. * Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; * Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; * Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; the phrase - holy of holies - does not appear at all, nor indeed does the word - holies. Exodus 26 covers a lot of the description of the curtains involved - and Exodus 27 has more details on the temple, but not the information sought.
How did the high priest get through the veil to enter the holy of holies in the Jewish tabernacle?
The veil of the temple was 3 inches thick and if you study out the veil and the history of the temple, you will find that it was the spirit of God that did the transferring. Just as when you or anybody really prays beyond the flesh and enters into that secret place with God so it is with the holy of holies. If you were not holy or consecrated unto God you could not get through the veil. Not once is a high priest killed in the Holy of Holies if you study it out you will find that.The priest would wait at the veil and God would transfer them from one side to the other by means of his spirit "only" if they were holy and he accepted them because of it. If he did not except the sacrifice the priest couldn't even get through the veil. Its a wonderful experience because the priest had to have blood in one hand on a laver and a incense in the other to sprinkle the blood on the ark and to offer the incense as a sweet prayer from the people. Neither could touch the ground and there is no opening in the veil contrary to belief so the spirit of the Lord did it.Jewish answer:The above answer is replete with mistakes:1) There were two veils between the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, not just one.2) No "transferring" took place. Rather, the easternmost veil was folded back a little bit on its southern end, and the westernmost veil was folded back a little on its northern end. The Kohen Gadol would enter between the veils at the southern fold. He would walk between the veils (there was about 15 inches of space between them) until he reached the northern end. There, the folded-back edge of the inner veil enabled him to enter the Holy of Holies. This is described explicitly in the Mishna and Talmud (Yoma 51b and 52b).3) The Kohen did not carry the blood and the incense at the same time.

A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38).

Where do christians go on a pilgramage?
Pilgrimage - a journey to a sacred place. In the times of Old Testament, under the Law of Judaism, proper worship of God could be performed in only one place: The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. There, in the Holy Land, in the Holy City, in the Holy Temple, in the Very Holy of Holies, where only the High Priest could go, could sacrifice be made to God for the pennance of the people of God. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He said "It is Finished" - the veil (to the Holy of Holies) was rent in two. Access to God was never again limited to the High Priest in this one place, but granted to all men who confess Jesus Christ as Lord - and take Him as their personal Savior. the observing Jews made pilgrimage once a year to Jerusalem. Some Christians would like to do the same. It is not neccessary. We no longer live under the Law but by Grace through Faith.
