And now a squad of ppl are lining up to execute that person for the crime. If chosen, one of the squad, say 10 ppl, will have a live round, ALL others will have a blank.

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

At the moment Jesus died, three of the four Gospels stop describing Golgotha and cut, without warning, to a scene half a mile away, inside the temple. Matthew, Mark, and Luke each record it with almost the same words: the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. No one on the hill could have seen it. It happened behind walls, in a place only priests could enter. And yet the Gospel writers considered it so important that they interrupt the death of the Son of God to tell you about a piece of fabric.

To understand why, you have to understand the veil. God's instructions for it go back to Exodus: a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it, hung to divide the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, the Holy of Holies, the room where the presence of God dwelt above the ark. The cherubim were not decoration. The last time cherubim stood as a barrier in Scripture was at the gate of Eden, with a flaming sword, after Adam and Eve were driven out. The veil was Eden's gate, rebuilt in cloth. It said one thing: you cannot come in here.

By Jesus' day, the temple was Herod's vast rebuilt structure, and the curtain matched its scale. Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, describes the temple's great veil as a Babylonian tapestry of blue, scarlet, purple, and linen, embroidered with a panorama of the heavens, an enormous hanging some sixty feet high. Later rabbinic tradition, recorded in the Mishnah, claims the veil was a handbreadth thick, woven from seventy-two cords each of twenty-four strands, and that it took three hundred priests to immerse it when it needed cleaning. Those numbers are probably rabbinic exaggeration, and it is honest to say so. But even discounting them, we are describing something the size of a building's wall, thick, heavy, and woven by expert hands. It was not a bedsheet. No man could tear it. And Mark is precise: it tore from top to bottom. From the top, sixty feet up, where no hand could reach, downward. Whatever tore the veil did so from God's side of it.

Now consider who was allowed past that curtain. One man. Once a year. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest, and only the high priest, passed through the veil into the Holy of Holies carrying the blood of a sacrifice, to sprinkle it before God for the sins of the nation. Every other day of the year, every other person alive, was kept out on pain of death. The high priest of the year AD 30 was Caiaphas, the man whose bones now lie in a museum drawer. That was the whole system: one mediator, one day, one room, and a curtain that stood every other hour of every other day announcing that God was here and you were not permitted to approach.

Then, at three in the afternoon on a Friday outside the city, Jesus cried out, "It is finished," and breathed His last. And in the temple, in the middle of the afternoon sacrifice, with priests at their duties, the barrier ripped open from the top down, and the Holy of Holies stood exposed to anyone standing in the Holy Place. For the first time since Sinai, a human being could look straight into the place where God dwelt, and nothing stood in the way.

The letter to the Hebrews, written to Jewish Christians who knew the temple intimately, explains what the Gospels only show. It calls the old system a shadow and says the high priest entering once a year with the blood of animals was pointing forward to something. Then it says this: "We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh." Read that slowly. The curtain is His flesh. When His body was torn on the cross, the veil was torn in the temple, because they were the same barrier being removed by the same death. The high priest brought blood into the Holy of Holies once a year, and had to come back next year. Jesus, Hebrews says, entered once for all, with His own blood, and then did something no high priest ever did: He sat down. There was no more work to do.

There is a strange witness to that afternoon from an unexpected source. The Talmud, the vast collection of rabbinic writings compiled centuries later, records that "forty years before the destruction of the temple" a series of ominous things began happening in the sanctuary: the lot for the LORD on the Day of Atonement stopped coming up in the priest's right hand, the crimson thread that was supposed to turn white as a sign of forgiveness stopped turning white, the westernmost lamp of the menorah kept going out, and the great temple doors began opening on their own at night, so that a leading rabbi rebuked them, warning that they were foretelling the temple's destruction. The temple was destroyed in AD 70. Forty years before is the year 30, the year of the crucifixion. This is a rabbinic source, not a Christian one, written by men who did not believe in Jesus and drew no connection to Him. It should be handled carefully, since the Talmud was written down long after the events. But according to Judaism's own memory, from that year onward, the signs of atonement in the temple stopped working, and no one could say why.

The torn veil pointed two directions at once. It announced that the way to God was open. It also announced that the temple's purpose was finished. Within a generation, in AD 70, Roman legions burned the building to the ground, exactly as Jesus had wept and warned it would be, and not one stone was left on another. There has been no veil, no Holy of Holies, no Day of Atonement sacrifice since. The system that ended on that Friday afternoon was dismantled by history forty years later, and it has never returned. What replaced it is a man, seated at the right hand of God, and a door that does not close.

People think that the cross is where a good teacher was killed by his enemies. But at the instant of His death, the one room on earth that God had walled off from humanity was flung open from the inside. Nobody stormed the temple. Nobody broke down the door. God tore the curtain Himself, and He tore it downward, toward us.

This is what it means for you. There is no longer a room you cannot enter and no priest you must go through. The curtain that separated you from God did not wear thin over time; it was ripped in half by His own hand, at the cost of His own Son's body. Hebrews draws the conclusion for you: "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace." Not creep near. Not earn your way near. Draw near, with confidence, because the way is open and it is never going to close again.

The veil is torn. Walk in.

Jesus is the great High Priest who opened the way, once for all. Thank You, Jesus.

Pray with me
September 13, 2026

Father,

I have hope in my heart and expectation in my spirit. I don’t know what this day will bring, but I know the One who holds this day.

Your Word says, “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him” (Psalm 62:5 KJV). So today, I refuse to place my expectation in circumstances, people, opportunities, or outcomes. My expectation is from You.

You are the God who makes a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert (Isaiah 43:19). You are the God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). You are the God who works all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).

So I will expect Your goodness.

When I cannot see the road ahead, I will trust Your leading. When prayers seem unanswered, I will trust Your timing. When doors close, I will trust Your wisdom. When I grow weary, I will remember that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31).

Father, guard me from confusing expectations. I’m not entitled. I do not demand that You fulfill my plans. I surrender my plans to Yours. My hope is not that You will give me everything I want. My hope is that whatever comes, I will remember You and your faithfulness.

Give me eyes to recognize what You are doing. Give me courage to walk through the doors You open. Give me patience when You tell me to wait. Give me faith when I cannot yet see.

Let me live today believing that You are already present in every moment I have yet to enter.

Your mercies will be new this morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Your grace will be sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your presence will go with me (Exodus 33:14). Your promises will not fail (Joshua 21:45).

Therefore, I will not surrender my hope to fear.

I will not allow yesterday’s disappointments determine today’s expectations. I will not let what has not happened convince me that You are not working.

I choose to believe Your Word. I choose to expect Your faithfulness. I choose to walk into this day with my head lifted, my heart surrendered, and my eyes fixed on Jesus.

And whatever happens today, let my life declare the words of Psalm 27:13:

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”

Father, I believe I will see Your goodness. I believe You are working. I believe You are faithful. And I believe the best place I can ever be is exactly where Your will has placed me.

My hope is in You. My expectation is from You. My future belongs to You.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Father, I come before You today with a heart full of expectation. Not because I know what this day will bring, but because I know the One who holds it.

Your Word says, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3).

So today, I will wait expectantly. I expect Your grace to be sufficient, Your wisdom to guide me, Your strength to sustain me, and Your goodness to meet me along the way. Open my eyes to see where You are working. Give me faith to follow when You lead and courage to obey when You speak.

I will not put my expectation in circumstances, people, or outcomes. “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him” (Psalm 62:5).

Lord, surprise me with Your faithfulness today. Use me for Your purposes, order my steps, and let me finish this day able to say, “Surely the Lord was in this place.”

In Jesus’ name, amen.

🚨 THE BIBLE WARNED US: “AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND LOT…”

Jesus warned that the days before His return would resemble the days of Noah and Lot—a society marked by corruption, rebellion, violence, and people living as though God’s judgment would never come.

Genesis says that “every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5)

Look around at the confusion, wickedness, violence, and moral chaos of our generation. The warning is still relevant: we cannot normalize what God calls evil.

🔥 Repent. Turn back to God. Seek righteousness while there is still time.

You do know that Jesus went “public” for you, right?🩸✝️

🚨⏳ THE BIBLE WARNED US THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

Jesus said that in the last days, “because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” — Matthew 24:12

Look around. Wickedness is increasing. Lawlessness is being celebrated. Truth is being rejected, and many people are becoming increasingly cold toward God.

We don’t know the day or hour of Christ’s return—but Jesus told us to watch, stay awake, and be ready. ✝️🔥

Don’t let the darkness around you make your heart cold.

REPENT. PRAY. STAY IN THE WORD. KEEP YOUR FAITH.

Jesus is coming back. Are you ready? 🙏
