vail

The inner veil, type of Christ's human body (Matthew 26:26); (Matthew 27:50); (Hebrews 10:20). This veil, barring entrance into the holiest, was the most expressive symbol of the truth that "by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified"; (Romans 3:20); (Hebrews 9:8). Rent by an unseen hand when Christ Died (Matthew 27:51) thus giving instant access to God to all who come by faith in Him, it was the end of all legality; the way to God was open. It is deeply significant that the priests must have patched together again the veil that God had rent, for the temple services went on yet for nearly forty years. That patched veil is Galatianism -- the attempt to put saint or sinner back under the law.

Compare (Galatians 1:6).

Anything but "the grace of Christ" is "another gospel," and under anathema.
