Thessalonians part 79

I have one last list in this study and it deals with the veil or blindness/hardness of heart ie...unbelief, the covering that henders our having and acquiring a true an accurate perception of GOD and HIS word / Will and yes even His law. Here is how this out line looks, first the veil features regarding it, made by divine command in Exodus 26, used to separate the holy and the most holy in Exodus 26, used to conceal the divine ark in Exodus 40, in the temple in 2Chronicles 3, rent by GOD'S hand at Christ's death in Matthew 27, required enterance through in Hebrews 9, the day of atonement also in Hebrews 9, with the shed blood in Hebrews 9, Christ's flesh in Hebrews 10, gives us access to GOD in Hebrews 10. After this I'll look at blindness which is being destitute of sight for some and visions for others. In GODS kingdom these are not usually the same, sight can be seeing things as they are or when sighting in a long rifle a thing is said to be sighted in. Whereas vision can be a dream or the ability to hear and perceive what has been said by GOD with clarity of mind through the circumsion of our heart. This often ariginates within our re-birthed heart before it reaches our mind where it is perceived, and the porcessed, it takes the form of an inward knowing first.

And as I have sought to do with the rest of this study I will try not to overrun my enthusiasm by inserting thoughts or other passages to more fully explain the thought contained in the passage given. As many of you all ready have a study Bible of some sort with center columns or side margins where cross refences are listed usually listing words or phrases within each passage as a means of helps.

The features regarding the veil are as follows, made by divine command in Exodus 26, here is the discription of the physical veil which separated the outer from the inner most holy temple worship areas, here is what verses 31 through 37 have to reveal, “You shall make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: And you shall hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver. And you shall hang up the vail under the taches, that you may bring within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide to you between the holy place and the most holy. And you shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. And you shall set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

You shall make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. And you shall make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.”

The veil is an illustration in graphic form of mans heart condition just as the tablets of stone used to carry the moral code of mans conduct, where if man could do them man would be reconnected to GOD, he being in right relationship with Him again, known as the Ten Commandments.(look at 2Cor. 3:7) But man in his sinfil state does not see or understand the hidden message contained is the first two passages of Exodus 20 and then given more light in Exodus 24 and then by the mouth of the LORD Himself when He answered,Hear O'Israel the LORD your GOD is One, hear Him.(in Mark 12:29)

When the tent or tabernacle was erected the veil served as a concealment for the divine ark in Exodus 40 beginning at verse 1 through 16 where this is stated, “The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. And you shall put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. And you shall set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shall hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy. And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy. And you shall anoint the laver and its feet, and sanctify it. And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to Me in the priest's office. And you shall bring his sons, and cloth them with coats: And you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.”


Here I will inject the fact that since the death, resurrection and ascension of the LORD Jesus, He has been revealed as being the completion or the manifeastion in human physical form all that is herein spoken.
