In this sermon Prisoners of Hope, we see the thought of being driven from home in the Garden. The thought of the veil is also seen in the Garden. The veil had cherubims blocking man from his home in the Garden after he was driven out due to sin. The Garden brings the elements of the CITY OF REFUGE LAW and the VEIL ASPECT of the day of atonement. The picture of passing the veil is the picture of passing the entrance blocked by cherubims in the Garden of Eden. Man became a prisoner outside of home. One who is confined away from his home is a prisoner. But God had a plan. That plan rendered man, not just a prisoner, but a prisoner of hope. Man could not return, for he would have died had he tried. There, standing at the entrance to the Garden, was a flaming sword. The flaming sword represents the avenger of blood. Just like the avenger of blood, the flaming sword was there to kill him should he return home. One day, in time ahead, since Adam was driven from home, there was going to be a High Priest who was going to die. That death would allow the sinner to return home.
