What Does 2 Chronicles 3:14 Mean?
The veil separates the holy place from the most holy, woven in royal colors, blue, purple, crimson, with fine linen and cherubim worked upon it. Like the cherubim on the walls, it both adorns and guards the way to God's nearest presence.
This curtain marked the limit no ordinary worshipper could pass; the way into the holiest was not yet open. Years later, when Christ gave up His life, this veil was torn from top to bottom, and the road to God's presence stood open to all. The beautiful barrier was always waiting for the One who would become the new and living way.
2 Chronicles 3:14 in the Original Language
