The Curtain Torn

Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
Exodus 26:33 NIV
The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
Mark 15:38-39 NIV

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
Luke 23:44-45 NIV

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
Matthew 27:51?-?52 NIV

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:19?-?22 NIV

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:19?-?20 NIV

Thank you Jesus for tearing the curtain
Which gave one a way to return to God
Oh how God let it be known
That Jesus was the one God sent
That we might receive your promise
Of the Holy Spirit within to teach
No longer killing animals not to satisfy
But through Jesus sacrifice 
Birthed forth all pains of the world into
A new covenant with a lighted path 
To bring the joy and peace of a newborn
To be nourished from the divine
Not of the foods which spoil 
May God bless, comfort, guide and
Fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance

I was just reading Christ’s crucifixion the other day. The tearing of that curtain—the earthquake always struck me. Such a sacrifice birthing that new merciful covenant for mankind. We are blessed eternally. A great sustaining reminder.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING YOU.AND ON THE POTD HONORS HURRAH, Man loves man. There are other people here, who honor God. But will not write about it as you did. We live in times that we think we lnow more than God. More than anyone, in fact.this does not make for harmony. Be proud of your beliefs. God loves you! Panagiota xo

Thanks you all very much I dearly appreciate your comments, and for putting up with me, many do not want to hear about God I do know this, it is through Him that changed me within, not of my own doing, this is my place of rest to write , May God bless comfort, guide, and fill you all with His love, peace, spirit and joy in abundance: )

You are correct Stephan in the comment above. I. Do write for a better world. Not for vanity! Such an empty space that is. Who cares if I write in 50 forms? Not me. I guess we all bring different gifts here and present them.the whole site can ignore any of us if they choose. PS is not a variety show to me. I like real people without poetical makeup! Many issues are avoided here.important ones. It takes awhile to find who is sincere. And those out to destroy you. Being a poet makes nobody a saint. Humility does! And knowing God and right from wrong. Thanks again. Panagiota xo

"Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.". Yes, we have got the right to enter the most Holy place and partake of His glory through His sacrifice ! How deep is your faith and how powerfully you draw others to His overwhelming love. You are a strong preacher of His word. May God bless you ever.
