The Holy of Holies

So im feeln troubled and sad bcuz I got invites 2 speak Easter Sunday and I already made other plans...I do understand the priviledge it is that sum1 wud ask and the honor it is 2 serve the Lord n  such  a way.The feeln wil pass quickly bcuz I wil B attendn my 1st catholic service on Easter Sunday.If u have never taken a tour of a catholic church,U really should do that.....
Its like walkn n2 the Holiest of Holies,I hope u know what Im talkn bout,N the Book,The bible, the Holy of Holiest is the room located in the ancient tabernacle of Moses and temple of Jerusalem.  It contained only the Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of Israel’s special relationship with God. No1 could enter except the Israelite high priest. Once a year,ON YOM KIPPER, the Day of Atonement, the high priest was permitted to  enter the small, windowless enclosure to burn incense and sprinkle the blood of a sacrificial animal on the mercy seat of the Ark. By doing so, the high priest atoned for his own sins and those of the people. The Holy of Holies was separated from the rest of the tabernacle/temple by the veil, a huge, heavy drape made of fine linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn and embroidered with gold cherubim.

In the book,Levticus 16:2,God said that He would appear in the Holy of Holies hence, the need for the veil. There exists a barrier between man and God. The holiness of God could not be accessed by anyone but the high priest, and then only once a year.When Jesus dies on the cross HE cried out  in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom” (Matthew 27:50-51a).

The veil was not torn in half by any man. It was a supernatural event done by the power of God to make a very specific point: because of the death of Christ on the cross, man was no longer separated from God. . No longer would we have to depend on priests to perform once-a-year sacrifices on our behalf. Christ’s body was “torn” on the cross, just as the veil was torn in the temple, and now  we have access 2  God through Jesus: “we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain.

So when U walk n2 a catholic church U dont want 2 touch anything,U dont wanna B talkn,U dont wanna B eatn,all U wanna do is sprinkle urself with the Holy water @ the entrance, U jus wanna fall down on ur knees N worship and praya bcuz the precence of God has been kept sacred and it has been honored,it is reverenced N the catholic church.
#The Sanctuary!
the catholic church a place where the devil has taken root,on so many levels,maybe because of their persistance 2 keep it Holy.BUT THAS A WHOLE OTHER BLOG!!!
