Hebrews 9:6–10
6 "Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, 9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation."

The writer not only reminds us of the system of veils, but also of who had access inside them.  Into that innermost veil only the high priest went, only once a year, and not without blood.  And then the point.  "The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing..."  In short veils are separators.  Veils divide.  Veils limit access to God.  And that is a fitting illustration for all works-based systems.  The labor is intense, but access is never earned.  Confess to God that your works are not capable of carrying you behind the veil.
