16. OLD COVENANT: By Rabbinic tradition, the high priest spent 3 hours in the Holy of Holies, in the pitch darkness
16. NEW COVENANT: Jesus Christ spent 3 hours in total darkness on the Cross, and the darkness was world wide
Clearly God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit had planned and ordained the Crucifixion from before the Creation of the universe. It is true that nobody on Earth saw the Shekinah Glory of God during the Crucifixion, as the price for sin was paid. However, if anyone had seen the Face of God, they would have died. God had already declared to Moses, in Exodus 33:20, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”
