It is only through God’s supernatural love and grace that we are allowed access into his presence. Because of Jesus; we have direct access to God.

Bishop TD Jakes: The Tabernacleis the rendezvous spot, but we
00:00:10.159 --> 00:00:13.295
can't go past the curtain.
00:00:13.328 --> 00:00:15.531
You can only go so far, and whenyou go to the edge, you'll hear
00:00:15.564 --> 00:00:19.635
God saying, access denied.
00:00:19.668 --> 00:00:21.737
Access denied, because the pricewas not sufficient.
00:00:21.770 --> 00:00:29.278
The first man, Adam, was drivenaway from the tree.
00:00:29.311 --> 00:00:33.115
The last man, Adam, was nailedto the tree.
00:00:33.148 --> 00:00:36.151
The ground began to tremble, thesun refused to shine.
00:00:36.185 --> 00:00:40.923
The son is on the cross.
00:00:40.956 --> 00:00:44.726
When Jesus cried out on thecross, the veil in the temple
00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:49.031
was ripped.
00:00:49.064 --> 00:00:50.365
The thing that stood in-betweenus and God is finished.
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.139
Everything you have ever beenlocked out of, everything that
00:00:57.172 --> 00:01:00.642

Bishop Jakes: They killed itat the brazen altar.
00:01:16.925 --> 00:01:19.962
They washed up at the laver.
00:01:19.995 --> 00:01:21.997
Anybody could do that.
00:01:22.030 --> 00:01:24.032
But when you start going inhere, you have to be a priest.
00:01:24.066 --> 00:01:30.405
To eat from the table ofshewbread, to keep the lamps
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.543
burning, to offer up altar, aprayer through incense, you had
00:01:34.576 --> 00:01:41.083
to be a priest.
00:01:41.116 --> 00:01:45.354
But this back here, nobody wentin there except one day a year
00:01:45.387 --> 00:01:53.529
on the Day of Atonement.
00:01:53.562 --> 00:01:55.330
The priest would go in one dayout of the year on the Day of
00:01:55.364 --> 00:01:58.667
Atonement and offer up sacrificefor sins, and it appeased God
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:03.805
for a year.
00:02:03.839 --> 00:02:06.008
Notice what I said, it appeasedhim.
00:02:06.041 --> 00:02:10.679
Why did I say that?
00:02:10.712 --> 00:02:13.482
'Cause it didn't please him, itonly appeased him.
00:02:13.515 --> 00:02:18.420
It held off judgment becausethis is a shadow, and you can
00:02:18.453 --> 00:02:23.926
never be pleased through ashadow.
00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:27.696
When you got married you didn'ttake your husband's shadow home.
00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:32.267
You can stay in the car, I'mgonna take your shadow.
00:02:32.301 --> 00:02:35.404
Some of y'all wish you had[laughter].
00:02:35.437 --> 00:02:39.608
You can never be pleased througha shadow.
00:02:39.641 --> 00:02:44.413
Once a year they would go beyondthe veil on the Day of Atonement
00:02:44.446 --> 00:02:49.318
and offer up sacrifice for sins.
00:02:49.351 --> 00:02:52.087
And it was through thatonce-a-year experience that they
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.391
had the power with God.
00:02:56.425 --> 00:02:59.161
That you must understand thatGod visited for the purpose that
00:02:59.194 --> 00:03:03.865
he might stay in contact.
00:03:03.899 --> 00:03:06.168
It's like a lover who's gone towar in Iraq and you can't see
00:03:06.201 --> 00:03:10.138
each other often, but every nowand then you FaceTime or you
00:03:10.172 --> 00:03:13.275
call on the phone and you finddifferent manners to keep your
00:03:13.308 --> 00:03:16.745
relationship goin' in spite ofthe distance.
00:03:16.778 --> 00:03:20.649
The Tabernacle is the rendezvousspot.
00:03:20.682 --> 00:03:24.453
Put up my night image of theTabernacle.
00:03:24.486 --> 00:03:27.422
It's the rendezvous spot.
00:03:27.456 --> 00:03:29.591
See back there, in that thirddimension, where we couldn't go?
00:03:29.625 --> 00:03:33.161
Look at the light goin' all theway up, into the heavens.
00:03:33.195 --> 00:03:39.034
That light is called ShekinahGlory, and all around it are the
00:03:39.067 --> 00:03:45.607
camps of Dan and Gad andNaphtali and Issachar and
00:03:45.641 --> 00:03:51.780
Benjamin, all of them aregathered around.
00:03:51.813 --> 00:03:54.916
Levi is functioning insidebecause he's a priest, but all
00:03:54.950 --> 00:03:58.920
the other tribes have gatheredaround the outside.
00:03:58.954 --> 00:04:02.658
The masses of people would comein the outer court, the priest
00:04:02.691 --> 00:04:06.561
would come in the inner court,and only once a year do you get
00:04:06.595 --> 00:04:10.098
to go back here, where theheavens opened up and the glory
00:04:10.132 --> 00:04:14.803
reaches up to heaven.
00:04:14.836 --> 00:04:16.238
That is Shekinah Glory.
00:04:16.271 --> 00:04:18.407
This is what God calls a datingplace.
00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:21.677
It's a hanging out room, it'swhere lovers meet.
00:04:21.710 --> 00:04:27.015
But we can't go past thecurtain, even here, because what
00:04:27.049 --> 00:04:32.321
was a flaming sword in the bookof Genesis becomes a hanging
00:04:32.354 --> 00:04:37.059
curtain in the book of Exodus.
00:04:37.092 --> 00:04:40.595
It's a restriction.
00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:42.931
You can only go so far.
00:04:42.964 --> 00:04:45.367
With the blood of bullocks andgoats you can only go so far.
00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:49.371
With the blood of sacrificiallambs, you can only go so far.
00:04:49.404 --> 00:04:53.408
I'll bring you to the veil, butI won't bring you through
00:04:53.442 --> 00:04:56.812
the veil.
00:04:56.845 --> 00:04:58.146
You can only go so far.
00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.581
And when you go to the edge,you'll hear God saying,
00:04:59.614 --> 00:05:02.584
access denied.
00:05:02.617 --> 00:05:04.052
Access denied.
00:05:04.086 --> 00:05:05.487
Access denied, because the pricewas not sufficient to open up a
00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:11.259
new and living way to pay theprice for your freedom.
00:05:11.293 --> 00:05:15.897
I'll visit you, but we can'thang out together 'cause access
00:05:15.931 --> 00:05:19.901
is denied.
00:05:19.935 --> 00:05:21.269
Shout, hallelujah.
00:05:21.303 --> 00:05:23.572
Now go back to Exodus 26:1-3,I'm almost where I need to be.
00:05:23.605 --> 00:05:28.443
female announcer: Moreover, thoushalt make the Tabernacle with
00:05:28.477 --> 00:05:31.613
ten curtains of fine, twinedlinen, and blue, and purple, and
00:05:31.646 --> 00:05:37.119
scarlet, with cherubims ofcunning work shalt thou
00:05:37.152 --> 00:05:40.589
make them.
00:05:40.622 --> 00:05:41.923
The length of the one curtainshall be eight and twenty
00:05:41.957 --> 00:05:44.459
cubits, and the breadth of onecurtain four cubits, and every
00:05:44.493 --> 00:05:49.297
one of the curtains shall haveone measure.
00:05:49.331 --> 00:05:52.667
The five curtains shall becoupled together one to another,
00:05:52.701 --> 00:05:56.471
and another five curtains shallbe coupled one to another.
00:05:56.505 --> 00:06:01.910
Bishop Jakes: Everything'sconnected.
00:06:01.943 --> 00:06:03.278
Read that last verse, isn'tthere a last verse in it?
00:06:03.311 --> 00:06:07.215
female announcer: The length ofone curtain shall be 30 cubits,
00:06:07.249 --> 00:06:10.552
and the breadth of one curtainfour cubits, and the 11 curtains
00:06:10.585 --> 00:06:14.723
shall be all of one measure.
00:06:14.756 --> 00:06:18.260
Bishop Jakes: So thecurtains were, I'm trying to
00:06:18.293 --> 00:06:22.164
think of the word that the Bibleuses, they were skillfully made.
00:06:22.197 --> 00:06:24.966
The artisans and craftsmen hadto work for months and months to
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.904
make these curtains.
00:06:28.937 --> 00:06:30.405
I tried to find how thick theywere because the Bible talks
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.508
about how long and how high theyare, a cubit being about a foot
00:06:33.542 --> 00:06:38.580
and a half.
00:06:38.613 --> 00:06:39.948
So if you take a foot and a halfand multiply by how many cubits,
00:06:39.981 --> 00:06:42.350
you have a length.
00:06:42.384 --> 00:06:43.685
In the Bible days, when they gotready to measure a cubit, they
00:06:43.718 --> 00:06:46.254
did it from the elbow to thefingertip, and that was about a
00:06:46.288 --> 00:06:48.990
cubit, which is about a foot anda half on an average
00:06:49.024 --> 00:06:51.092
person's hand.
00:06:51.126 --> 00:06:52.461
So a foot and a half times theamount that it says, it gives
00:06:52.494 --> 00:06:55.096
you the dimensions of thecurtain itself.
00:06:55.130 --> 00:06:57.299
So the curtain is quite massive,but what you can't see is how
00:06:57.332 --> 00:07:00.335
thick it was.
00:07:00.368 --> 00:07:01.703
And so in order to find howthick it was, I couldn't find it
00:07:01.736 --> 00:07:04.239
in the Bible, I couldn't find itin the commentaries, but
00:07:04.272 --> 00:07:06.875
Josephus the historian says thatthe veil in the temple in the
00:07:06.908 --> 00:07:11.379
days of Jesus was four inchesthick.
00:07:11.413 --> 00:07:16.785
Said the fabric was woven sothick together that you could
00:07:16.818 --> 00:07:20.655
put a horse on one end and ahorse on the other and they
00:07:20.689 --> 00:07:23.725
couldn't rip it.
00:07:23.758 --> 00:07:27.662
[speaking in tongues]
00:07:27.696 --> 00:07:30.832
It could not be ripped by twohorses pullin' in two different
00:07:30.866 --> 00:07:33.835
directions because that was howmuch the wall was built.
00:07:33.869 --> 00:07:37.839
That wall, build that wall.
00:07:37.873 --> 00:07:40.642
God said, I'll let you get closebut you can't get in, I'll let
00:07:40.675 --> 00:07:43.979
you get near but you can't getin.
00:07:44.012 --> 00:07:45.814
I'll let your prayers seepthrough the fabric so that I
00:07:45.847 --> 00:07:49.484
could smell them, but you can'tget in.
00:07:49.518 --> 00:07:51.820
I'll let your priests come inonce a year and bring about
00:07:51.853 --> 00:07:55.190
peace with God, but you can'tget in.
00:07:55.223 --> 00:07:57.292
This curtain is four inchesthick.
00:07:57.325 --> 00:07:59.261
It's about 30-and-some feethigh, it is folded, manifold,
00:07:59.294 --> 00:08:03.765
manifold, manifold, so thickthat you cannot get in.
00:08:03.798 --> 00:08:08.436
My thoughts are above yourthoughts, my ways above your
00:08:08.470 --> 00:08:11.773
ways, that's how the distance isbetween us, but we're gonna meet
00:08:11.806 --> 00:08:15.510

and the woman requires theripping of the veil and life
00:12:15.116 --> 00:12:21.356
occurs wherever the veil rips.
00:12:21.389 --> 00:12:24.826
Thank you.
00:12:24.859 --> 00:12:27.028
So in our text, Wait, I forgotsomething.
00:12:27.061 --> 00:12:35.270
There is something important Ididn't bring up.
00:12:35.303 --> 00:12:38.907
In the Bible, the father alwayscircumcised the son.
00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:45.346
So you don't have to cut yourveil, as your father it's my
00:12:51.486 --> 00:12:58.359
responsibility to cut yourflesh.
00:12:58.393 --> 00:13:01.229
That means a whole lot ofthings.
00:13:01.262 --> 00:13:02.597
As your father it's myresponsibility to discipline
00:13:02.630 --> 00:13:06.167
you, limit you, train you, teachyou, raise you up.
00:13:06.201 --> 00:13:10.972
It's my job to make you bleed.
00:13:11.005 --> 00:13:20.448
I am called to make you bleed.
00:13:20.481 --> 00:13:24.118
I am called to show you whatyour potentials are.
00:13:24.152 --> 00:13:27.322
I'm called to trim back what'snot necessary.
00:13:27.355 --> 00:13:30.825
I am called to bring disciplineand order in your life.
00:13:30.859 --> 00:13:34.262
Abraham did the circumcisionwith a rock on his son.
00:13:34.295 --> 00:13:42.537
That's pretty heavy.
00:13:42.570 --> 00:13:45.807
So Isaac was ripped at the handsof his father.
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:51.412
Thank you.
00:13:51.446 --> 00:13:53.214
The veil in the temple wasripped at the hands of
00:13:53.248 --> 00:14:02.257
the Father.
00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:03.625
Now I'm ready for you.
00:14:03.658 --> 00:14:04.959
Tell them something is about tohappen.
00:14:04.993 --> 00:14:10.665
female announcer: When he hadcried again with a loud voice,
00:14:10.698 --> 00:14:13.034
Bishop Jakes: Matthew 27:50,come on.
00:14:13.067 --> 00:14:15.069
female announcer: Yielded up theghost.
00:14:15.103 --> 00:14:16.537
Bishop Jakes: Now watch this.
00:14:16.571 --> 00:14:17.906
Watch this, watch, watch, watch,watch, watch, watch, watch,
00:14:17.939 --> 00:14:19.474
watch, watch,watch, because
00:14:19.507 --> 00:14:20.975
[speaking in tongues]
00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:22.810
You must see that he's on thecross and he cried with a
00:14:22.844 --> 00:14:27.849
loud voice.
00:14:27.882 --> 00:14:29.217
He's bleeding on the cross, he'snailed to the tree, he's nailed
00:14:29.250 --> 00:14:33.421
to the tree.
00:14:33.454 --> 00:14:34.789
To the tree.
00:14:34.822 --> 00:14:36.124
To the tree.
00:14:36.157 --> 00:14:37.492
To the tree.
00:14:37.525 --> 00:14:38.826
We started at the tree, we'reback to the tree again.
00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:42.597
It all started around the tree.
00:14:42.630 --> 00:14:45.333
And now where the first man,Adam, was driven away from the
00:14:45.366 --> 00:14:49.370
tree, the last man, Adam, wasnailed to the tree.
00:14:49.404 --> 00:14:53.408
They hung him high, theystretched him wide.
00:14:53.441 --> 00:14:57.211
The ground began to tremble, thesun refused to shine.
00:14:57.245 --> 00:15:01.983
And he cried with a loud voice.
00:15:02.016 --> 00:15:04.419
C'mon.
00:15:04.452 --> 00:15:05.787
female announcer: And behold,the veil of the temple was rent
00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:08.990
in twain from the top to thebottom.
00:15:09.023 --> 00:15:11.893
Bishop Jakes: What?
00:15:11.926 --> 00:15:13.261
Wait.
00:15:13.294 --> 00:15:14.595
When he cried out, when thisTabernacle cried out, it ripped
00:15:14.629 --> 00:15:22.503
that Tabernacle over there, andthe veil in the temple was
00:15:22.537 --> 00:15:27.408
ripped from the what?
00:15:27.442 --> 00:15:30.511
female announcer: From the topto the bottom.
00:15:30.545 --> 00:15:33.114
Bishop Jakes: Wait!
00:15:33.147 --> 00:15:34.482
Wait!
00:15:34.515 --> 00:15:36.517
It was ripped from the top tothe bottom?
00:15:36.551 --> 00:15:39.954
The top was too high for a manto reach.
00:15:39.988 --> 00:15:46.828
Only God the Father could reachthat high.
00:15:46.861 --> 00:15:51.532
The son is on the cross.
00:15:51.566 --> 00:15:54.202
Who ripped the veil?
00:15:54.235 --> 00:15:56.671
Two horses couldn't pull theveil apart, but when Jesus cried
00:15:56.704 --> 00:16:02.377
out on the cross, the veil inthe temple was rent from the top
00:16:02.410 --> 00:16:07.949
to the bottom.
00:16:07.982 --> 00:16:09.450
No wonder it is finished!
00:16:09.484 --> 00:16:10.852
[cheering]
00:16:10.885 --> 00:16:15.690
When Jesus says, it is finished,he doesn't mean that he is
00:16:15.723 --> 00:16:20.294
finished, he means the thingthat stood in-between
00:16:20.328 --> 00:16:24.966
us and God is
00:16:24.999 --> 00:16:28.803

Bishop Jakes: Slap three peopleand say, rip that thing.
00:16:41.516 --> 00:16:44.986
Rip at everything standing inbetween me and God.
00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:48.823
It's gotta come down.
00:16:48.856 --> 00:16:50.925
Everything that said I wasn'tgood enough, that I'd never be
00:16:50.958 --> 00:16:54.562
nothing, that I'd never get in,it's gotta come down.
00:16:54.595 --> 00:16:58.699
I need 30 seconds of praise him!

00:17:02.036 --> 00:17:09.310
Bishop Jakes: Pastor,well, you mean Jesus
00:17:09.343 --> 00:17:10.978
was on the crossand he cried from the cross,
00:17:11.012 --> 00:17:15.049
which was incidentally outsideof Jerusalem?
00:17:15.083 --> 00:17:20.021
Because Hebrews said he diedoutside the camp, went outside
00:17:20.054 --> 00:17:24.358
the gate, but what he screamedfrom the cross went all the way
00:17:24.392 --> 00:17:28.629
into Jerusalem and ripped theveil from the top to the bottom.
00:17:28.663 --> 00:17:34.168
He's ripping religion.
00:17:34.202 --> 00:17:40.975
He said, I stepped outside allof it and died so that you can
00:17:41.008 --> 00:17:45.079
be free of the veil of thetemple, it's rent from the top
00:17:45.113 --> 00:17:48.149
to the bottom and what elsehappened?
00:17:48.182 --> 00:17:51.719
female announcer: And behold,the veil of the temple was rent
00:17:51.752 --> 00:17:54.889

00:17:57.091 --> 00:17:58.392
female announcer: The earth didquake and the rocks rent.
00:17:58.426 --> 00:17:59.760
Bishop Jakes: Wait a minute!
00:17:59.794 --> 00:18:01.095
Everything's ripping.
00:18:01.129 --> 00:18:03.331
When they ripped Jesus, the veilin the temple was rent from the
00:18:03.364 --> 00:18:13.174
top to the bottom, but God said,I'm not through ripping stuff.
00:18:13.207 --> 00:18:18.045
The ground started quaking.
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.548
A quake is a split.
00:18:20.581 --> 00:18:23.284
Rocks started breaking in two.
00:18:23.317 --> 00:18:25.920

00:18:25.953 --> 00:18:27.288

Bishop Jakes: Up out of thegrave!
00:18:37.798 --> 00:18:39.100
So when they ripped Jesus, heripped the veil.
00:18:39.133 --> 00:18:43.471
When the veil ripped, it rippedthe earth.
00:18:43.504 --> 00:18:47.041

Bishop Jakes: I lovepreaching in this church.
00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:07.715
I love watching people grow.
00:26:07.748 --> 00:26:09.817
I love how they appreciate theWord of God.
00:26:09.850 --> 00:26:12.886
I love how the worship exploded,especially at the last event, it
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.859
exploded, the people juststarted comin' and crawlin' down
00:26:18.892 --> 00:26:22.563
to the altar and the crowdpressed in to experience what I
00:26:22.596 --> 00:26:27.468
had been teaching.
00:26:27.501 --> 00:26:29.269
Because they knew that the veilhad been ripped open, they
00:26:29.303 --> 00:26:32.706
understood that there wasnothing blocking them, even
00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:35.976
though they've made mistakes andfailed and faltered, that they
00:26:36.010 --> 00:26:38.846
could come boldly to the throneof grace.
00:26:38.879 --> 00:26:40.948
They got it!
00:26:40.981 --> 00:26:42.650
So when they're in trouble, orwhen they're son's goin' to
00:26:42.683 --> 00:26:45.419
jail, or when they're rushin'their daughter to the hospital,
00:26:45.452 --> 00:26:48.155
there's no devil that's going tobe able to tell them, you can't
00:26:48.188 --> 00:26:50.257
get a prayer through because yougot mad at the girl over there.
00:26:50.290 --> 00:26:52.493
So, no, no, the veil was ripped,I can come boldly.
00:26:52.526 --> 00:26:55.529
I can obtain mercy.
00:26:55.562 --> 00:26:56.864
I don't deserve it, his mercy,and I can find grace to help in
00:26:56.897 --> 00:27:01.168
the time of need.
