We are told that when Jesus died, the veil in the temple was rent or torn to let everyone into the Holiest of Holes. A careful study of the furniture of the tabernacle reveals that it has always been described from the Holiest of Holies outward. Could this be symbolic of God's desire to reach our for humanity, not of humanity reaching for God?
The veil of The Temple was torn when Jesus died because His Death reconciled us back to GOD and we now have direct access to His throne and Presence.
