Hebrews10:20
20 By a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil , that is to say, his flesh;
Which way is figuratively setting out the means of entring into the holiest in Heaven by the Blood of Christ. By way is understood that, by which approach to God in Heaven is made, and wherein we must have our access to him, even Christ himself, Joh. 14.6. [non-Latin text not transcribed], a Way newly made manifest by Christ's Sacrifice newly slain and offered, rending the Vail that hid Heaven from them, so as they could not so clearly discern the Throne of Grace then, as now; and the Way is not only new, [non-Latin text not transcribed], a quickning Way, giving Life and Ability for Motion and Refreshment to those who walk in it, Ioh. 14.6. such as is everlasting, and is opened not as the legal way, only to the High Priest, but to all true Israelites to enter into it, and that not once a year, but continually. This is the Way of Life permanent and safe, Isai. 35.8, 9, 10.
This Way Christ himself hath newly made, finished and opened unto them that they might walk therein, and reach home to God; nothing could obstruct or hinder them in it, he having perfected it unto this end.
The inner Vail that separated the Holiest of all from the Holy place, was a Type of the Flesh of Christ, vailing his Deity, through the breaking and rending of which by Death, he opens the way to the Throne of Grace in the Holy of Holiest in Heaven, and so made God accessible to Believers there, ch. 9.12. comp. Matth. 27.51.
