Title: Torn veil (Matthew 27:50-51)
Contents Many years after Adam and Eve were expelled from God's garden, one day, God called Moses to Mount Sinai, taught him the word, and inscribed the most accurate and clear will of God on stone tablets.

In it, only the first high priest was allowed to prepare holy preparations and enter.
But at the moment when Jesus, the Son of God, came to this earth, bearing the sins of all mankind and dying on the cross, since the veil of the Jerusalem Temple was torn from top to bottom, if anyone only relies on the name of this dead Jesus, It is a sign that opened the way to God's temple, the Most Holy (Romans 3:24), so that all people of any tribe, whoever has life, can meet God so that they can worship and pray before Him and receive the blessing of eternal life.
