What Lies Beyond The Veil?

The veil that stood between mankind and God our sin that produced shame.

Christ took away our sin; therefore there is no shame.

God says,

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.  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;|”

Matthew 27:50,51

The veil, in scripture, symbolizes separation from God. Behind the curtain in the temple lay the ark of the covenant, which contained the mercy seat, shielded by the wings of two cherubim. Once a year, the high priest would offer sacrifice upon the altar before the ark and God’s Shekinah Glory would appear. It was a light that illuminated a secret – many other cherubim.

I believe the veil also symbolizes shame which keeps us from seeing God. We know that He is beyond the veil, but until Christ rent the veil, it was impossible for common people to experience His presence. This is because we need something to cover our sin, our shame. The veil is basically the fig leaves Adam and Eve sewed together to hide themselves from the presence of God.

In these latter days, each of us needs to know what lies beyond the veil – beyond our shame. We must experience Christ personally. This means that it is not enough to know God through learning about Him, we must meet Him by going through the veil. We must put off our fig leaves.

The Bride of Christ lies beyond the veil

As the Ark of the Covenant lay behind the veil in the Old Testament so, too, the Bride of Christ lies beyond the veil in the New Testament. We are the dwelling place of God now, just as the Ark of the Covenant was the dwelling place of God then. Therefore, in order to experience God these days, we must experience the Bride of Christ.

How does this take place? How does one experience God in the Bride of Christ? Very simply, we allow God to spiritually connect us with other members of the Body of Christ that He chooses so that we can experience His Spirit in another person. This is exactly how people in Israel experienced God in the first century AD. Likewise, the other person will experience the Bride of Christ through us. Thus, a Spirit that fills both heaven and earth manifests Himself through both of us to each other, building believers up in their most holy faith.

God loves to show His truth through pictures. For instance, water baptism is foreshadowed in “type” by the nation of Israel passing through the Red Sea. The picture of Jesus becoming a sacrifice for the sins of the world is foreshadowed by Abraham being willing to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah. God is always using pictures to show us truths that He wants us to understand.

One of the most important pictures God gives us is the intimate union of a man and woman. This union is, in fact, the point of creation. YHWH looked among all the many things He had created over eternity and found there was no help meet for Him. In order to convey this truth in picture He gathered all the animals together and had Adam name them. Adam realized all the animals had mates suitable for them, but he had no mate suitable for himself. Thus God created Eve. Get the picture?

Likewise, God is creating the second and last Eve, in us, as the Body of Christ, who, when we unite with Jesus, will become the union of God and man. Our Creator will, finally, have a help meet suitable for him and we will rule and reign with our husband for ever on a new creation – the New Heavens and New Earth.

Beyond the veil is the Bride of Christ

Therefore, what lies beyond the veil is the face of the Bride of Christ. When you lift the veil off a bride you kiss her, tenderly, passionately. It is symbolic of things to come. Likewise, in these latter days, God is taking us beyond the veil into the intimacy of the Body of Christ so that we can become one with Him in ways that most cannot yet imagine.

Finally, the devil is a destroyer and has taken over so many of the things of God and used them in ways our Father never even thought of. Lucifer cannot create, only twist and degrade what was once good into things that mock our creator. Everything that you see the devil doing in this day and age has an actual Godly and original counterpart that was originally pure and holy. This is why what God is doing in our age often looks like what sinners do: It is because sinners are misusing what God first made for good.

Beyond the veil is a place of peace, love, and harmony with our God that we have not seen since the manifestation of Jesus Christ in the first century. It is total union with our Father as would have been the case if Eve had never eaten of the forbidden fruit. There are things that God has created for those who love Him that go beyond anything we have yet imagined. Thought these blessings were always there, they lay hidden beyond the veil, safe from the world of sin that we had created until such time as we found our way back to the garden.

The union of God and man = The Bride of Christ

In conclusion, one of the biggest areas that sinners debauch, that God originally made good, is intimacy. We live in such an over-sexualized world that we can hardly imagine what pure and holy intimacy is. However, as we go back to the garden and live in our pre-fallen state through yielding to His Spirit, we will find out what pure intimacy is. We will experience intimate unions of God and man through each other and it will be very good.

To Be Fully Intimate With God You Must Touch His Body

This type of revelation is uncomfortable for many. It is difficult to think about and talk about. I don’t know why that is, perhaps it is our Christian conditioning and shame.

Therefore, many have difficulty in speaking about intimate things when it comes to God. Laying out the truth of the matter always stretches me too.

Here is a truth,

You cannot love someone intimately with touching their body. Likewise, you cannot love Christ intimately without touching His body of believers.

The concept of loving God meaning we must love one another is not new. However, the concept that loving God means touching his body of believers physically, as led by His Spirit, is. This concept almost requires a re-wiring of our brains, for we have been taught, especially in Christian circles, that spirituality is the absence of physical touch.

The truth is, though, that true spirituality, especially in these latter days, is to love God through intimacy in the Body of Christ. This expression of His physical love exists on a sliding scale from merely looking into someone’s eyes with the love of God all the way to full physical love making between divine mates.

To put a finer point on it, God’s love is shown to members of the Body of Christ through other members of the Body Of Christ and, as long as it is led by His Spirit, it is holy.

When people have little inside, they concentrate on how things look on the outside. We see this in the behavior of the pharisees.

Jesus says,

“Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;  Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation”

Luke 20: 45-47

However, with God, it is not the outward that counts, but the condition of your inner heart. God says,

“Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

Matthew 15:7-9

Here is a truth,

In order to please God, we must do “what He really means.”

In the natural realm, when a man and women fall in love, they become closer and closer physically. They kiss and touch each other commensurate to the depth of their shared love relationship. Finally, when they feel to commit themselves to each other forever, they merge completely. We call this intercourse and everyone agrees that this type of intimate behavior is appropriate to profound love.

No one, in their right mind, would ever say to such people that their love must only be “spiritual”. The lovers would look at them funny and other people would laugh at that notion. Likewise, to love God, you must eventually touch His body to express his heart fully.

However, God is a Spirit that fills heaven and earth. How does one express love to a Spirit? Many would say that you pray, or worship, sacrifice your time or money, or enter into some kind of service. However, though these things are appropriate and good, true expression of love for God is the act of loving His body of believers as He leads.

God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Now God is in us, finishing that great work. The Holy Spirit chose to dwell in Jesus who is the express image of our Father. Now the same Holy Spirit indwells us and we, as the body of Christ are to be the express image of God. This is what the Bride of Christ is.

Become God’s wife

Moreover, like any bride, she wishes to become a wife and experienceher man in her. A woman in love wishes to open herself up to her lover and express her love physically. She loves her bridegroom’s spirit, she adores his soul, but she also desires to love him physically.

In these latter days, God expresses his love to the Body of Christ through the Body of Christ. He kisses us through one another – hence the holy kiss. He hugs us and holds us close through members of His body. In fact, the pure expression of God, like Christ, is to manifest Himself through our flesh.

Therefore, in the coming move of the Holy Spirit, we will see God’s love demonstrated to individuals through other individuals as they are Spirit-led. The legalistic morals of the Christian clergy will fall away as the First Love of Eden is restored. All things will be done properly and in order, not according the natural man, but by His Spirit. Remember, decent and in order to God was what happened when His Spirit fell on the disciples on the day of Pentecost.

Most people have little idea of what I am talking about simply because they have not experienced the Tabernacle Blessing yet. However, when you do, these things will make a lot of sense. My writings are not meant to constrain what God can or will do, they are only meant to be a sign to those who come this way that they are on the right path.

In conclusion, when you begin to experience the First Love of Eden, know that God is with you. Trust Him and do what He actually means rather that adhere to what other people tell you.
