Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle. This miraculous event was plainly typical of several important things. 1. This was a type of the violent rending of Christ's body on the cross. 2. This typified our Lord's own entrance into heaven. 3. This miracle intimated that, by the death of Christ, the ceremonies of the law were, at once, explained and abolished. 4. This miracle intimated that the distinction between Jew and Gentile was at an end. 5. The rending of the veil typified evangelical freeness of access to the throne of grace. 6. The miraculous rending of the veil was typical of Christ's having opened up, by His death, an entrance into heaven for all His followers. (James Foote, M. A.)
