THE VEIL AND THE CHERUBIM
I felt the fluttering of the wings and I heard a sound like a fast scraping; they seemed liked wings going over my flesh, light, yet gentle. I will never forget the noise. Quite an unusual feeling, but suddenly as I laid prostrate, I also felt what seemed like light woven fine sheer linen fabric going through my body, or my body going through this light supernatural fabric.
“God, what is this?” I questioned in my mind. Again, I was feeling the wings fluttering and moving quickly over me, at this point I suddenly saw what appeared to be coloured wings. I saw three specific colours that stood out amongst the others. (Blue, Scarlet and purple) He [God] was about to give me a revelation and an experience.
I wept and wept and felt so overwhelmed, crying, I asked Jesus again. “Lord where am I? “ “You are going through the veil” He said. Oh, the feeling was amazing. I was covered and enveloped by the veil and wings and I was in the midst of the veil. I kept saying, “Wow! I’m in the midst of the veil! I am in the midst of the veil!” My mind was trying to keep up with the spirit, but I kept getting taken away trying to not work it out too much.
I have not been able to speak nor utter the depths of his beauty, glory, and love, the awesome feeling of the depth and richness of humility, yet the power of his Majesty, Kingship, Royalty and Glory.
This is an interestingplace; it feels like I am just in it [The veil] and it feel as if I am enveloped by it. I am in Communion with my Priest, Lover and King.
It feels light, yet so deep and so beautiful. I am not sure how else to describe it. I guess no words really can.
I Know and understand in a more full and different way what the veil is about. We partake in communion, we eat of the bread, and we drink the wine, but he really wants us to eat of the bread and drink of the wine, the deep richness that of deep scarlet wine that is so deep and thick. With every bite we have partaken in as we have eaten of the bread, have we really had the revelation of the veil? How many of us really come through it? How many of us has really experienced it of have come to know it fully?” Do we, with each bite, come to resurrection life?
Eat of Him, eat and drink him!
He took the piercing. His blood was shed for us and His skin and mussels were ripped, stripped, and beaten. He took in the pain, having his body bruised, and they cast lots for his robes. He was humiliated, BUT HE DIED FOR US! HE DIED FOR US!
Not only did He die for us as a Lamb and an intercessor, but also a King. He one who was not recognised and one who paid the ultimate price.
The veil is HIM, my beloved. Leave everythinging behind. He is waiting for you… He is waiting for you to come to the veil… Come into the veil, my bride, andallow the cherubim to bring you through to our High Priest and King, our Yeshua and the promise of resurrection of life!
John 3:16 “…He gave his only begotten Son so that we can live…!”
Hebrews 6:19
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil…
Hebrews 9:3
…and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,
Leviticus 16:12
Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.
Numbers 18:7
Therefore you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything at the altar and behind the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood to you as a gift for service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
2 Chronicles 3:14
And he made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and wove cherubim into it

Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil Are like a piece of pomegranate.

2 Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains un-lifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

Hebrews 10:20
…by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
I began to want to know why there were cherubim of Blue, Scarlet, and Purple thread embroidered on this veil, so I began to search it out deeper. I felt like the Lord said “I want the imprint of the veil on your skin like a tattoo.” This seemed unusual.
here is a definition of the word Embroidered-
em•broi•dered, em•broi•der•ing, em•broi•ders
1.To ornament with needlework: embroider a pillow cover.
2.To make by means of needlework: embroider a design on a bedspread.
3.To add embellishments or fanciful details to: embroider the truth.
1.To make needlework.
2.To add embellishments or fanciful details.
We can see this type of embroiders in The Tabernacle of Moses.
Exodus 26.1 and 31
1“Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them.”
31And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, andfine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubim’s shall it be made: (KJV)
26.1 “Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman.
26. 31 “Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
CUNNING In the Young’s Concordance for the King James Version of the Bible, it indicates that throughout the Bible a total of five words from the Hebrew language are used for interpretation into the word “cunning”.
These are:
“daath” meaning “knowledge”
“chakam” meaning “wise, skillful”
“chashab” meaning “to think, devise, design”
“yada” meaning “to know, be acquainted with”
“machashebeth” meaning “thought, device, design”
The word used in Exodus chapters 20 and 36 in relation to the design of the tabernacle curtains was “chashab“, meaning “to think, devise, and design”. This word is set well apart from the other four meanings of the word “cunning”, in that the curtain craftsmen were required to think, work things out, and apply intelligent thoughts.
