Does God hide things from people?
Yes. The Bible indicates God can hide things from people, and it is His prerogative. In Luke 18, Jesus predicted His death and resurrection to the twelve, but they heard none of it because it was hidden from them. Yet the gospel is hidden to the lost because the god of this world blinds their minds.
Les teaches that God hides things from the human race, and that was His prerogative. He illustrates this from Luke 18, where Jesus told the twelve He would be crucified and rise the third day, yet they heard none of these things because it was hid from them. Les then presents the other side of the coin from 2 Corinthians 4:3-4: if our gospel is hid, it is hid to them that are lost. The believer understands the gospel, but the lost masses do not know their plight. Les explains that the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, and we cannot take on the world.
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
