Confessing Jesus is it enough?

I think there are several meanings of "the veil".
1) The literal veil in the Temple.
2) The figurative veil you have pointed out.
3) The literal veil over Moses' face.
4) The figurative veil over the Israelites eyes.
5) The veil that separates this physical life from the afterlife.

And more...

@Waiting on Him just showed you from scripture, without having to speculate, what the veil was representative of.
 
There was certainly some of that. But...
I see him deconstructing the law as he went. Jesus was the end of the law, correct?

He is the fulfillment of the Law.

In Matthew 5 he treats the law as hearsay.
"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago... But I tell you..." (six times)

Jesus doesn’t just repeat what Moses said. “Moses said, but I tell you …”

There is a change in the Law.

Even the forerunner was a part. "... until John..." Then what?

Matthew 11:13 NET
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John appeared.[a]

Then came Messiah time.

A change? More than that. (done away)
We are no longer under the guardianship of the law.

Galatians 3:23-25 NIV
Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody under the law,
locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

I would say, "No, the law did not change."
It was replaced with the new covenant of grace.
We are no longer under the law.

Hebrews 8:7, 13 NIV
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant,
no place would have been sought for another. ...
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete;
and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
