Isaiah 25:7KJV 2 Corinthians 3:14,15,16
What is this veil that covers all nations ?
2 Corinthians 3:7 Paul calls the Ten Commandments, that were engraved in letters on stone, the ministry of death. In verse 9 Paul calls the Ten Commandments the ministry of condemnation. The law, the Ten Commandments, had a glory but the new covenant of GOD and Christ has a greater glory that does not fade away as the Ten Commandments do. This agrees with Hebrews 8:13, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, are obsolete and are fading away just as the the glory on the face of Moses faded away. Romans 6:7 Paul explains that Christians are released from the Ten Commandments so that we may serve in the new covenant of the Holy Spirit and not in the old covenant way of the Ten Commandments. The old covenant, the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, is only abolished in the church not in the carnal unconverted world. John 1:17 if grace and truth came by Jesus Christ then the law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, that came by Moses, had no grace or truth. The law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, only made things worse, made sin even more sinful, but the church has grace and forgiveness of sin but the unconverted would does not. Romans 5:20,21
Now, this veil that covers the nations is the hiding of the knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD from everyone but the church. Matthew 13:11
The entire carnal world is guilty under the law, Romans 3:19 , they are all under the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, the church is not.
Everyone who is placed under the law, the Ten Commandments , are under the curse of death, no one under the Ten Commandments is justified and the law is not of faith but the carnal world under the Ten Commandments must live by them or die. Galatians 3:10,11,12 The church is under a greater set of commandments, the two Jesus gave us of love to GOD and love to neighbor. The Ten Commandments did not have GODS love, GODS love is only by a gift of HIS Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5 The carnal people of the world cannot understand this at all, only GOD can open their eyes to see it. Therefore a veil covers all the carnal people of the world and the only way for it to be lifted is when GOD draws a person to Christ and converts them, gives them HIS spirit and teaches the person HIS truth. No one can come to Christ unless the FATHER draws them and the FATHER does this by the old covenant Ten Commandments because that person is then able to see they are dead in their sins and need a savior. This is how the Ten Commandments are a schoolmaster to draw us to Christ, then the person is no longer under the Ten Commandments but under the two greatest commandments Jesus gave and GOD works in them with HIS love to change the persons nature to be like that of GOD and HIS son Jesus. The person no longer works to keep the Ten Commandments, they become GODS workmanship and GOD works in them both to will and to do HIS good pleasure. In this way sin is no longer the transgression of the Ten Commandments but whatever is not of the love of GOD. If GODS love fulfills the Ten Commandments then not loving doesn’t. People under the Ten Commandments do not have GODS love in them because they do not have the Holy Spirit that gives that love, therefore under the Ten Commandments they can never fulfill the Ten Commandments and they sin, then sin brings death. No one should ever despise GODS Ten Commandments, they should love GODS Ten Commandments because they are what GOD uses to bring you to Christ. King David, who had GODS Holy Spirit, Psalm 51:11 , loved GODS Ten Commandments because he learned the lesson of the schoolmaster, he was in the new covenant and had access to repentance and forgiveness when he sinned by committing adultery and murder. Read all of Psalm 51 with the new covenant in mind and if GOD desires to open your eyes you will see the blessings of the new covenant applied to King David.
The true church of GOD is not under the veil that covers all the nations, the veil for them was lifted when they were brought to Christ by GOD.
