The end of the Old Covenant came as He promised. God dramatized it marvelously with one great climatic event, which occurred when Jesus died on the cross. The veil of the Temple was torn from the top to the bottom, signifying that God had ended the whole system. The Holy of Holies was exposed. Access to God was open to all. The shadows gave way to the substance. And just to make sure no one was confused about the old system, in A.D. 70 God allowed Jerusalem and the Temple to be destroyed. It has never been rebuilt.
