The Veil was Torn
By: Minister E. J. Kolenda
The Law, which started from the time it was given to Moses
on Mount Sinai, ended when Jesus, the Lamb of GOD, died on
the cross. Jesus cried, "It Is Finished!" The Veil was rent
or torn from top to bottom. There was NO MORE Holy of
Holies on earth! There is no more a ministry of the earthly
Aaronic High Priest. Israel's only comfort is gone!
However, Israel still broke the laws of GOD. Now they stand
guilty and condemned before GOD: they have lost their
Tabernacle with its Holy of Holies, where GOD'S presence
came down: they have lost their High Priestly ministry. The
Veil was rent and the Holy of Holies destroyed. They are
without GOD, Godless, and without hope, hopeless. There is
no comfort for their souls.
Then Jesus spoke to His disciples just before He went to
the garden, "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give
you Another Comforter that He may abide with you forever."
[John 14:16]
Jesus promised them another comforter, another Mediator,
the Holy Ghost (Spirit), "even the Spirit of Truth."
[John 14:18] "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come
to you."
[John 14:26] "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the father will send in my name, He shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."
Here Jesus speaks to them of the Holy Ghost that came to
them on the Day of Pentecost.
Jesus, at His Resurrection, rose as a High Priest after the
Order of Melchisedec. He is now our High Priest, our
Mediator. He is now IN YOU.
It is the CHRIST IN YOU, your only hope of Glory.
[Colossians 1:27] That is if you have received the Baptism
of the Holy Spirit. [Acts 2:4]
CHRIST is the Anointed One. He is our Melchisedec, our High
Priest - not only in Heaven, but He is IN YOU. CHRIST, your
Mediator maketh intercession for you. [Romans 8:26]
The Holy Spirit is our Comfort. He is our High Priest that
dwells in us.
"But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be
that the Spirit of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have
not the Spirit of CHRIST (the Holy Spirit), he is none of
His." [Romans 8:26]
Our Holy of Holies is now in the Heavens. - "A Tabernacle
not made with hands." [Hebrews 8:2]
The Veil in the Heavenly Tabernacle, the perfect Tabernacle
has never been torn.
The earthly Tabernacle was only a Shadow of the Heavenly
Tabernacle. GOD gave Moses the pattern of the Heavenly
Tabernacle so he could build the earthly Tabernacle
"According to the Pattern.” [Hebrews 9:24]
The Veil in the Heavenly Tabernacle is still intact. It is
still there to keep the Ministry of the High Priest,
Melchisedec, separate from other priesthood orders.
CHRIST is our Mediator.
[1 Timothy 2:5] "For there is one GOD, and one Mediator
between GOD and man, the Man CHRIST JESUS."
Because the Veil in the Heavenly Tabernacle is not rent,
man, in our day, still has to have a High Priest, a
Mediator. Man cannot enter the Holy of Holies, into the
presence of GOD, without a Mediator, a go between, an
Advocate, a Melchisedec - THE CHRIST. The Holy Spirit,
Another Comforter, A New High Priest, A New Mediator!
In [Hebrews 5:8-10] "Though He were a Son, yet learned He
obedience by the things which He suffered. And being made
perfect, He became the author of ETERNAL SALVATION unto all
that obey Him. Called of GOD an High Priest after the
'ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC'."
The Old Order Aaronic Priesthood is gone. The New High
Priest of the Order of Melchisedec, the CHRIST, is now
making intercession for us.
[Hebrew 10:20,21,22,]By a new and living way, which he hath
consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say his
flesh; And having an high priest over the house of GOD: Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our
bodies washed with pure water.
The Veil in the Heavenly is not torn but our flesh is still
barred from the presence of GOD. Only through the High
Priest, Jesus Christ, a Mediator, can men approach GOD.
How much truth does it take to go to heaven?
May GOD Richly and Abundantly Bless You All,

We have people who actually ask us to pray for them. Not
just pray but to pray for exact things. These prayers seem
to be answered right away. We have begun to think on these
matters. This was not people asking for a lot of money or
fame or other unnecessary things. This was a person having
a problem receiving work and the answer was a double
portion of what was asked for. Another was a depression and
grievous spirit that had settled over a person. This was
prayed for and was gone overnight. So often, we assume
people are praying for us and they usually are. Here we
pray and call people by name before the LORD. The prayers
that are answered are those that are specific it seems.
Have you asked for prayer lately or do you just assume that
you are being prayed for?
We remember what the LORD JESUS CHRIST said, “Those who come
to me.” We are beginning to study this closely. Could we be
assuming that the LORD knows what we need so why ask? Are we
faithful to pray for others even though they haven’t asked?
How often does your prayer begin with a thank you to the LORD?
This is the sign of a thankful heart. When we begin our prayers
with a thank you for what we already have it shows our thankfulness
and that we are giving to the LORD what belongs to Him. Praise,
Worship and thank you to the LORD should always far outweigh any
request.
When we bow before the LORD with a humble and a contrite
heart he hears us. If the attitude is, I am here LORD, drop
everything, and listen to me, you are praying wrong. Let us
all leave the “me first” prayers behind us and go forth
with humbleness and meekness.
Brother Kolenda is also doing a strong study on meekness,
humbleness, and a contrite heart. We hope to share some of
that with you in the coming weeks. We are finding out that
meekness does not mean weakness so this is a great study.
We ask for your prayers for this ministry and for each of
us. We appreciate your prayers and we ask the LORD to hear
and bless each one of you on this newsletter. Remember to
pray for each other. As someone once said, “The LORD
answers knee mail.”
No matter how many needs we have there are others who need
more.
