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 but, in fact, it was making the word of God to none effect because of that system of corban instituted by Herod and the pharisees which was the error of Balaam and the Nicolaitan.[5]
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.

- 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.
