VAIL, THE SACRED

Torrey's New Topical Textbook

Moses commanded to make

Made by Bezaleel for the tabernacle

Suspended from four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold

Hung between the holy and most holy place

Designed to conceal the ark, mercy seat, and the symbol of the divine presence

Made by Solomon for the temple

Was rent at the death of our Lord

THE HIGH PRIEST

Alone allowed to enter within

Allowed to enter but once a year

Could not enter without blood

ILLUSTRATIVE

Of the obscurity of the Mosaic age

Of the flesh of Christ which concealed his divinity

(Rending of,) of the death of Christ which opened heaven to saints
