The Penetration of Barriers and the Revelation of Christ in the Gospels

The Penetration of Barriers and the Revelation of Christ in the Gospels THE PENETRATION OF BARRIERS AND THE REVELATION OF CHRIST IN THE GOSPELS by THOMAS E. SCHMIDT Santa Barbara, CA 1. Introduction In a recent article, David Ulansey argued persuasively that the veil to which the Evangelists refer as torn at the moment of Jesus' death was the outer veil of the temple, that between the porch (n5lo) and the sanctuary proper. Ulansey bases his argument primarily on Josephus (BJ 5:212-214), where this veil is described as being embroidered to represent "panorama of the heavens The veil, as a symbol of the vault of the sky, signifies in its being rent not a new way into God's presence as in Hebrews 6:19; 10:20,3 but the passage of God's Spirit through the barrier of the heavens. This view finds strong support by reference to Mark 1:10; where the veil of the sky is "torn apart" only here and at 15:38 in Mark's s Gospel) at Jesus's baptism immediately before the descent of the Spirit and the heavenly voice. The two incidents, apparently quite consciously for the second Evangelist, mark out the parameters of 1 "The Heavenly Veil Torn: Mark's Cosmic Inclusio," JBL 110 (1991) 123- 125.

THE PENETRATION OF BARRIERS AND THE REVELATION OF CHRIST IN THE GOSPELS by THOMAS E. SCHMIDT Santa Barbara, CA 1.
