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."[1]
The term vail in the Old Testament is from the Hebrew word PeiReishKafTav, poreketh.[2] The term pareketh is a word from PeiReishKaf פֶרֶךְ perek[3] 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[3] for the first time in Exodus 1:13 "And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour <perek>: 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, 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 <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 [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 under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the 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[4] which was a vail separated the Holy Place from the outer court, while the other veiled 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.
Tertullian in his Against Marcion, 4.42, we are told that Israel's temple had again grown stagnant.
The dimmed truth
In fact, it was not merely stagnancy but the public Religion was making the word of God to none effect. This was due to the covetous nature of that system of corban instituted by Herod and the pharisees.
John the Baptist not only spoke against that system but offered an alternative to that system based on faith and charity. Jesus who John the Baptist thought would take his priestly role of restoring the way of righteousness to the people of Judea offering a baptism that took them toward the kingdom of God.
John the Baptist called for the people to think about Religion much differently which we identify as repentance.
Jesus would bring hope to the efforts of John the Baptist but he would also challenge some of the orthodoxy dogmas of Judaism that had crept into the thinking of the priesthood and the masses due to incorrect private interpretations of the teachings of Moses.
The unmooring of the deeper meaning of the metaphors of Moses found so common in the narrative of the Pentateuch had aloud a morass of vain and blind leaders to institute a demoralizing system in conflict with the theme and intent of both Abraham and Moses and all the prophets.
This blindness[5] and darkness of the soul led the people into the error of Balaam and the Nicolaitan.[6]
The unfortunate repetition of history
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 unleavened bread in the lake.
The altars of 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.

- ↑ False prophets and Guru theories
- Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. 17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods. 18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see."
- Isaiah 30:20 "And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed,..."
- Matthew 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
- Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
- Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recoveing of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
- John 9:39 ¶ "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
- Luke 6:39 "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
- Acts 13:11 "And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
- ↑ The way of error
- 2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
- Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
- Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
- Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
- The way of the world is the way of Cain and His city-state, the Corban of the Pharisees and the cities of blood, Nimrod and the Nicolaitan, Babylon and Balaam, Sumer and Sodom, Pharaoh and the foolishness of Saul, and more recently FDR and LBJ and all the welfare States who use legal charity which is not The Way of Christ, the Kingdom of God nor the righteousness of God.
