Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
But whenever someone turns to God, that veil gets completely removed.
Turn to God and suddenly everything becomes crystal clear.
📚 Historical Context
In the context of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, written around 55 AD to a church in a bustling Greek city, he is drawing from the Old Testament story in Exodus where Moses wore a veil over his face after speaking with God to symbolize the temporary and limited access to divine glory under the old covenant. Paul uses this imagery to explain that the Jewish people, and by extension anyone without Christ, experience a spiritual veil that prevents full understanding of Scripture. This veil is removed only through turning to Christ, highlighting the superiority of the new covenant.
