The Veil of the Temple

.
.In the Gospel of Matthew it is written that when Jesus yielded up the ghost the veil of the temple was rent in twain.

(Matthew 27:50-53) 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; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

It is also written that a centurion who was watching Jesus saw those things that were done.

(Matthew 27:54) Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the son of God.

Now it is commonly told by the false prophets (who are many) that the veil that was rent (torn) was the veil in Solomon's temple but if that were true then how could the centurion (who saw those things that were done) see the veil being torn in Solomon's temple while he was watching Jesus?

And to answer my own question, he couldn't, because the veil that he saw rent in twain was the flesh of Jesus that he was watching. This is the veil.

(Hebrews 10:20) By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh.

And Christ is the temple.

(John 2:19-22) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But He spake of the temple of His body. When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

I know the temple of God. When I was baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire I was buried with Christ and raised up by his power to walk in the newness of life and am therefore witness to His resurrection.

(Romans 6:4) Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

I say that I was raised up by the power of Christ not to boast but that others might believe through me and be saved.

When Jesus prayed for His disciples He said: (John 17:20) Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.

I am a disciple of Christ and I also pray for those who will believe through my word by the Holy Spirit.

(John 6:63) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.

Do you see the temple of life that is not the temple of Solomon's?

(Acts 7: 47, 48) But Solomon built him an house. Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet.
(Isaiah 66:1) Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what house will ye build me? and what is the place of my rest?

According to scripture, the temple that Solomon built was cast out of God's sight and this being about 1,000 years before Christ came in the flesh.

The most influential worldly king of all time which is Solomon is the only man to receive the number of the beast in scripture.

(1 Kings 10:14) Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon on one year was Six Hundred Threescore and Six talents of gold.

(Revelation 13:18) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six Hundred Threescore and Six.

Consider the odds of one man who is the most influental and powerful ruler of all time being also the only man to receive that number. Think about it.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ also tells us that the beast received his power and his seat and great authority from the dragon (the devil).

Another truth about the beast (contrary to pulpit belief) and I do mean "pulpit" is that he is not someone who is coming in the future but (like Solomon) who "was".

(Revelation 17:8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And (Revelation tells us) the beast does great wonders.

(Revelation 13:13) And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

(2 Chronicles 7:1) Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.

Can you see the beast in all his glory (Lord Solomon)? You will. You see king David called his son "Lord" and Solomon was David's son.

(Matthew 22:41-45) While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose son is He? They say unto Him, the son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Now Jesus also questioned what the false prophet David wrote in Psalms. The emphasis is on "Lord's" and "marvelous" in the following verses.

(Mark 12:10, 11) And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

(Psalm 118:22, 23) The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing, it is marvelous in our eyes.

So David who called his son "Lord" likened the head stone as something marvelous.

Christ the "cornerstone" is a "lively stone" and not the head stone of the corner.

(1 Peter 2:4-8) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. Ye also as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious:and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

And king David (like Solomon) is "not" in heaven.

(Acts 2:34-36) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus both Lord and Christ.

The ministers of Satan who seem to admire Solomon and collect tithes (under the law) are "never" in the "true" church. The true church according to the bible "is" the body of Christ, the temple which I "never" leave ever since Christ baptized me in February 2007.

(Revelation 7: 14b, 15) These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: and He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

I'm sealed and by the Holy Spirit all these things I say are true. So I say to the Judges and the lawyers and the rest who are not saved under the law, you can't be justified by law and saved by grace.

(Galatians 5:4) Christ is become of no effect unto you whosoever of you are justified by the law, ye are fallen from grace.

(Revelation 19: 19-21) And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat upon the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the number of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

I saw the New Jerusalem. God showed it to me.

(Revelation 21:22) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
