The Holy of Holies

קֹדֶשׁ הַקָּדָשִׁים Qṓḏeš HaqQŏḏāšîm

Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness, not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set aside. But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when they hear the reading of the old covenant, that same veil is still there, since only in Christ is it set aside. Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds; but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:12-18

Now the veil is broken. God invites you and encourages you to go into the Holy of Holies, to be in the presence of Holiness! You no longer have to fear facing God. You don’t have to worry about being in the presence of Holiness; God loves you so much He wants to be near you!!
