== The Vail ==

In [[Mark 15]]:38  we see in the account of the death of Christ that "'''...the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.'''"

The term ''[[Vail|vail]]'' in the Old Testament is from the Hebrew word PeiReishKafTav, ''poreketh''.<Ref name="poreketh">{{06532}}</Ref> The term pareketh is a word from PeiReishKaf פֶרֶךְ‎ [[06531|perek]]<Ref name="perek">{{06531}}</Ref> meaning "harshness, severity, cruelty". 

Why does the word for vail mean "harshness, severity, cruelty" when you remove the letter [[Tav]]?

We see this word PeiReishKaf פֶרֶךְ‎ ''perek''<Ref name="perek">{{06531}}</Ref> for the first time in [[Exodus 1]]:13  "And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to '''serve with rigour''' <[[06531|perek]]>: 14  And they made their lives bitter with hard [[bondaExodus 26:31 ¶  And thou shalt make a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:ge]], in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, [was] '''with rigour''' <[[06531|perek]]>."

When Israel lived by [[faith]] in [[hope]] with [[charity]] they were protected from the rigor, the "harshness, severity, cruelty" of the [[bondage of Egypt]]. The ''vail'' was a symbol of that protection.

* [[Exodus 26]]:31 "And thou shalt make a [[Vail|vail]] [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: 32  And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim [wood] overlaid with gold: their hooks [shall be of] gold, upon the four sockets of silver. 33  And thou shalt hang up the [[Vail|vail]] under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the [[Vail|vail]] the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy [place] and the most holy."

== The veil ==

: [[Matthew 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;"
: [[Mark 15]]:38  "And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom."
: [[Luke 23]]:45  "And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."

Here we see ''veil'' from the Greek word ''katapetasma''<Ref name="katapetasma">{{2665}}</Ref> which was a vail ''separated the Holy Place from the outer court, while the other [[Veil|veil]]ed the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place.''

'''Theologian Timothy Johnson says that the tearing of the temple vail symbolized “the end of the old covenant of atonement through animal sacrifice and the beginning of a 'new covenant'”. 

''That of course is a popular belief but That of course is utter nonsense.''

The original ''covenant of atonement through animal sacrifice'' was broken with the creation of the system of [[Corban]] set up by the [[Pharisees]] through the civil power of [[Herod]].

The [[modern Church]] teachers are void of a viable understanding the covenant of God. It should not be difficult to see but they are more fond of their [[Covenants of the gods]] of the [[world]] than the [[righteousness]] of God and His Kingdom.

The animal [[sacrifice]] was never about a mindless ritual of killing animals by blood letting any more than ''casting your bread'' upon the water is about tossing [[leaven|unleavened bread]] in the lake. 

The [[altars]] of [[Clay and stone|Clay and Stone]] were never about piles of dead stone and mounds of earth. 

It was about [[freewill offerings]] made by the people who have to take [[care]] the needy of society in a [[daily ministration]] of  [[pure religion]] based on that [[faith]] in [[hope]] with [[charity]].
