Matthew 27:50-54 : The veil was torn

Study

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

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;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Arcana Coelestia #10183

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

10183. 'And you shall overlay it with pure gold' means a representative sign of everything of worship that arises from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, dealt with in 9874, a founding on that good being meant by 'overlaying with gold', 9490. But its meaning as a representative sign is self-evident.
