The Tunic of God

The Tunic of God
We learned last week that the veil was rent allowing us access to the Tree of Life. The veil with its cherubim woven into it were the angelic depiction of the angels barring access to the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Life.
That veil is known as the Tunic of God. Jewish custom during the days of Jesus were that if a father lost a son to death he was required to rend his garment.
Genesis 37:34 >>
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Matthew 27:51 >>
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;
God's Tunic was rent over the loss of the Son.
John 19:24 >>
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
