And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
I do not understand what this means. Could someone educate me please and thank you?
"And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ." 2Co 3:13-14
7-8 IF the ministration of death (glory to be done away) THEN the ministration of the spirit (rather glorious)
9 IF the ministration of condemnation (be glory) THEN the ministration of righteousness (exceed in glory)
11 IF that which is done away (WAS glorious), THEN much more that which remaineth (IS glorious)
When Moses went before The Lord, his face shined. So he put a veil over his face when he talked with the people.
13-14 Paul says contrary to what Moses had to do, Paul didn't need to do that. Referring to the unbelieving Jews of old up to that day, who had hard unregenerate hearts THAT WERE COVERED LIKE A VEIL. BUT whenever someone turns to God in faith, the VEIL IS LIFTED.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2Co 3:18
The unbeliever has a veil over his eyes of understanding. But whenever someone turns to God, the veil is removed.
