SEPARATING THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PHYSICAL
THE HIDDEN MEANING
INTRODUCTION
In these next scriptures, we at VAL-TE’ would like to share the gift God has given us with everyone, so that You can understand the hidden meanings and sayings. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech – unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Immanuel. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 11 Corinthians 3: 12-18 NKJV
Biblical Word
THE VEIL – I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness – the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Immanuel in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Immanuel. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. Colossians 1: 25-29 NIV
Reference
Galatians 3: 22-29 – But the scripture says that the whole world is under the power of sin; and so the gift which is promised on the basis of faith in Immanuel is given to those who believe. But before the time for faith came, the Law kept us all locked up as prisoners until this coming faith should be revealed. And so the Law was in charge of us until Immanuel came, in order that we might then be put right with God through faith. Now that time for faith is here, the Law is no longer in charge of us. It is through faith that all of you are God’s children in union with Immanuel. … So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Immanuel. If you belong to Immanuel, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive what God has promised. GNT
Significance
Kept Hidden – We at VAL-TE’ also believe that there are many reversals in heaven, and will bring many surprises to those who are considered influential and powerful (immorally). As the scriptures says: “Then those who are now last will be first, and those who are now first will be last.”
