It reminds me the Sacrifice of my Saviour
Exod 26:31
"And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet"
These colors came because they got to kill a jelfish and some worms. So it is a vail of sacrifice. ".... And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?"(Heb. 1:14)
Jesus was that worm and the fish. He was killed. He said, "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people." (Ps. 22:6)
God wants to have the remembrance of Jesus on the vail of most holy place. Jesus was rejected by people like a worm and he also went through a painful thought of Father forsaking him. If someone looks us down like a worm or forsakes you, remember that you are nearest place to the Lord, near to his most holy place. He takes you to very near to him.
It reminds me Faithful One
"with cherubims shall it be made"
Cherubims are the intimate angels of the Lord. They stand in the presence of the Lord. Faithful can watch the face of the Lord. Moses is a faithful man. The Lord said about him, "...and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold" (Num. 12:8)
When Gabriel said "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee" (Luke 1:19), it was like he was questioning "how come you dont believe me?" The question at the moses' incident was "wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"
The punishment to Zacharias was to be dumb and the punishment at the Moses' incident was Leprosy. If FAITHFUL can watch the face of the Lord its like a WARNING to us if we dont believe them. According to John 1:18 Jesus is the only one that saw the Father. He is named "...These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness..." Rev. 3:14 What if we dont believe this faithful Jesus?
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb. 11:28-31
It reminds me my Saviour on the nails
Exod 26:32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
This remembers the Lord who hanged on the nails. It is a vail on nails. Jesus hanged on the nails.
It reminds me my Savior who rent his body
Exod 26:33 ... and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
The word for dividing here is "parochet". This is from the word paroch which means divide or rend etc. Jesus was that veil divided. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; Heb. 10:20
