Summary to Part I

Though the experts in the Law devoted their lives to understanding it, still they failed to see that Christ was its’ fulfillment, in spite of His clear attempts to enlighten them:

For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" John 5:46-47 NKJV

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. John 5:39-40 NKJV

Is it possible that the Church also has been guilty of not fully removing the veil? To be sure, we have removed it far enough to perceive and enter into the New Covenant. But have we truly understood the overwhelming spiritual nature of that covenant, as unfolded in the Scriptures? In the Introduction we said that while the New Covenant is not entirely spiritual in nature, it is primarily so. Certainly, from Pentecost on, physical people living on this physical Earth have been born again into the spiritual kingdom. But while we may have acknowledged spiritual aspects to the New Covenant, how many have coalesced those aspects into a comprehensive whole, to reveal the extent to which the New Covenant is spiritual in nature? It is hoped that Part I of this work has done just that. Having established this foundation, in Part II we will attempt to build upon it by removing the veil from the Second Coming of Christ. In order to do this, we must look using the same vision of Paul and the New Testament saints:

. . . we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor 4:18 NKJV
