According to 2 Corinthians 3, where is the veil done away?
According to 2 Corinthians 3, the veil is done away in Christ, not in the reading of the Old Testament. When Christ finished redemption through His death, burial, and resurrection, the entire system of Law was abolished, because we now have something far better. The veil remains untaken away when the Old Testament is read without Him.
Les explains that the same veil remains untaken away to this day, and it is not taken away in the reading of the Old Testament. The veil is done away in Christ. When Christ finished the work of redemption by His death, burial, and resurrection, the whole system of Law was done away with and abolished, because now we have something far better. The Law was given to Israel to prepare them for the coming Messiah, but in unbelief they failed it from start to finish; yet God did not stop His plan of redemption but carried it out anyway. Christ revealed to the Apostle Paul salvation by faith because of God’s grace, and nothing added. The average Jew in his blindness is still unable to see.
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
