The Veil Shall Be Taken Away

2nd Corinthians 3:16

The veil in the Tabernacle and thereafter in the Temple represented divine separation—between God and humanity, sanctity and impurity, Creator and creation. Under the former covenant, only the high priest was permitted to enter beyond it once annually. The Levitical system was not intended for complete access, but rather indicated a forthcoming greater revelation.

Paul's assertion in 2 Corinthians 3:16 pertains not just to historical context but also to eschatological anticipation and contemporary metamorphosis. The veil will be removed when the heart is directed towards the Lord. This "turning" signifies a Hebraic repentance (teshuvah), encompassing not only regret but a definitive restoration to covenant alignment.

In a Messianic setting, the veil represents spiritual blindness—the failure to acknowledge Yeshua as the Messiah, to understand the Torah as realized in Him, and to experience the divine presence personally. However, the assurance is unequivocal: when there is a transformation, there is also a revelation. Upon turning to the Messiah, the constraint is lifted, and the inner veil is split asunder.

This corresponds with the temple veil's tearing at Yeshua's death (Matthew 27:51), a cosmic indication that the barrier has been eliminated. The glory formerly concealed is now unveiled in the Messiah. This serves as the entryway for Messianic Christians, both Jews and incorporated Gentiles, to have unmediated connection with the Father.

  • The veil symbolizes spiritual obscurity and estrangement from God.

  • Turning to the Lord (Yeshua) dispels the veil.

  • This truth is both personal and collective—relevant to Israel's complete salvation.

  • The tearing of the Temple veil at the Messiah's crucifixion represented a new covenantal reality.

  • Access to the Father is now immediate, personal, and transparent.
