Matthew 27:50-54 : The veil was torn

Studimi

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.

10069. 'And he and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and the garments of his sons' means thus all Divine things in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'holy' as that which emanates from the Lord - because He is the only Holy One, dealt with in 9229, 9479, 9680, 9818, 9820, 9956, 9988 - thus as that which is Divine; and since Aaron and his garments, and his sons and their garments, represented the holy or Divine things in the heavens, spoken of above in 10067, 10068, they mean all Divine things in the heavens. Clearly Aaron, his sons, and their garments were called holy on account of their representation of things holy and Divine, for everyone who gives proper thought to the matter can see that neither a ram's blood nor anointing oil can sanctify anyone. Blood and oil are lifeless objects and so cannot have an effect on a person inwardly. Only the truths of faith and the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to the Lord, thus Divine things, have an effect on a person's interiors; these Divine things are what sanctify, for they alone are holy.
