Review - Make Room 4 Me 1
I am Leaving (cont.)
“Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward.
At last two came forward and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.'"
And the high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer to make?
What is it that these men testify against you?"
But Jesus remained silent.
And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
Jesus said to him, "You have said so.
But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has uttered blasphemy.
What further witnesses do we need?
You have now heard his blasphemy.
What is your judgment?"
They answered, "He deserves death."”Matthew
26:59-66 ESV

“Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.”
Psalms 132:9 KJV
“"The priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose nor tear his clothes.”
Leviticus 21:10 ESV
https://www.bible.com/59/lev.21.10.esv
At last, Caiaphas, raising his right hand toward heaven, addressed Jesus in the form of a solemn oath: “I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” DA 706.3
To this appeal Christ could not remain silent.
There was a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
He had not spoken until directly questioned.
He knew that to answer now would make His death certain.
But the appeal was made by the highest acknowledged authority of the nation, and in the name of the Most High.
Christ would not fail to show proper respect for the law.
More than this, His own relation to the Father was called in question.
He must plainly declare His character and mission.
Jesus had said to His disciples, “Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven.” .
Now by His own example He repeated the lesson.
Hereafter,” said Jesus, “shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
In these words Christ presented the reverse of the scene then taking place.
He, the Lord of life and glory, would be seated at God's right hand.
He would be the judge of all the earth, and from His decision there could be no appeal.
Then every secret thing would be set in the light of God's countenance, and judgment be passed upon every man according to his deeds.
DA 707.3
The words of Christ startled the high priest.
The thought that there was to be a resurrection of the dead, when all would stand at the bar of God, to be rewarded according to their works, was a thought of terror to Caiaphas.
He did not wish to believe that in future he would receive sentence according to his works.
There rushed before his mind as a panorama the scenes of the final judgment.
For a moment he saw the fearful spectacle of the graves giving up their dead, with the secrets he had hoped were forever hidden.
For a moment he felt as if standing before the eternal Judge, whose eye, which sees all things, was reading his soul, bringing to light mysteries supposed to be hidden with the dead.
DA 708
ink ye?”
And they all condemned Him.
DA 708.2
Conviction mingled with passion led Caiaphas to do as he did.
He was furious with himself for believing Christ's words, and instead of rending his heart under a deep sense of truth, and confessing that Jesus was the Messiah, he rent his priestly robes in determined resistance.
This act was deeply significant.
Little did Caiaphas realize its meaning.
In this act, done to influence the judges and secure Christ's condemnation, the high priest had condemned himself.
By the law of God he was disqualified for the priesthood.
He had pronounced upon himself the death sentence.
DA 708.3
EGW Reference to Tore Robe
A high priest was not to rend his garments.
By the Levitical law, this was prohibited under sentence of death.
Under no circumstances, on no occasion, was the priest to rend his robe.
It was the custom among the Jews for the garments to be rent at the death of friends, but this custom the priests were not to observe.
Express command had been given by Christ to Moses concerning this. .
DA 708.4
Everything worn by the priest was to be whole and without blemish.
By those beautiful official garments was represented the character of the great antitype, Jesus Christ.
Nothing but perfection, in dress and attitude, in word and spirit, could be acceptable to God.
He is holy, and His glory and perfection must be represented by the earthly service.
Nothing but perfection could properly represent the sacredness of the heavenly service.
Finite man might rend his own heart by showing a contrite and humble spirit.
This God would discern.
But no rent must be made in the priestly robes, for this would mar the representation of heavenly things.
The high priest who dared to appear in holy office, and engage in the service of the sanctuary, with a rent robe, was looked upon as having severed himself from God.
By rending his garment he cut himself off from being a representative character.
He was no longer accepted by God as an officiating priest.
This course of action, as exhibited by Caiaphas, showed human passion, human imperfection.
DA 709.1

You have now heard his blasphemy.”
Matthew 26:65 ESV
Matthew 26:65 ESV
.
By rending his garment he cut himself off from being a representative character.
He was no longer accepted by God as an officiating priest.
This course of action, as exhibited by Caiaphas, showed human passion, human imperfection.
Each action of the high priest was watched with interest by the people; and Caiaphas thought for effect to display his piety.
But in this act, designed as an accusation against Christ, he was reviling the One of whom God had said, “My name is in Him.” .
He himself was committing blasphemy.
Standing under the condemnation of God, he pronounced sentence upon Christ as a blasphemer.
DA 709.3
The Curtain of Separation Separated
“And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last.
And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"” Mark 15:37-39 ESV
Mark 15:37-39 ESV
The Story Doesn’t End at the Death
What is Christ Doing in Heaven Now?
Why is He not Here with Us?
What more needs to take place?
