The Veil of the Temple is Ripped

There is a great mystery contained in the sexual union of a man and his virgin bride, for Yahweh
has designed this union to mirror the spiritual union of God and man that was inaugurated by
Christ. When the High Priest entered beyond the veil to access the Holy of Holies, he always had
to bring blood with him.

Hebrews 9:6-7
Now when these things have been thus prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer
tabernacle, performing the divine worship, but into the second (the Holy of Holies) only the high
priest enters, once a year, not without taking blood...

So too, we are told that when Yahshua died on the cross, His flesh being rent, that the veil
guarding the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem was rent in two.

Matthew 27:50-51
And Yahshua cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. And behold, the veil of
the temple was torn in two from top to bottom...

Yahshua then ascended to the greater Temple in the heavens, entering into the Holy of Holies
bearing His own blood.

Hebrews 10:19-20
Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Yahshua, by
a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh...

This was the act that established the New Covenant of faith that replaced the Old Covenant of
law. This is an inviolable covenant, a holy covenant, a covenant of blood. So too, Yahweh has
designed the bodies of the man and the woman so that when the woman experiences first sexual
union, and the man enters beyond the veil into her holy of holies, that a blood covenant is
enacted.

This is why a man who raped a virgin under the old covenant of the Law was required to take the
woman to be his wife. By being the first to engage in sexual union with the virgin, the man had
enacted a blood covenant with her. He was bound to the covenant. It is a covenant of blood.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29
If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they
are discovered, then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver,
and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.

The same is true if a man seduced a virgin. He was required to pay the bridal dowry to the girl’s
father, and to take the girl to be his wife. The man has enacted a blood covenant with the virgin.
