36
QUESTIONS ISAIAH 256-8

• WHY DID MOSES PUT A VEIL OVER HIS FACE?
• WHAT VEIL DID CHRIST REMOVE?
• READ 2 CORINTHIANS 312-18
• 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use
  great boldness of speech
• 13 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.
• 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this
  day the same veil remains un-lifted in the
  reading of the Old Testament, Because the veil is
  taken away in Christ.
• 15 Even today, when Moses is read, a veil lies on
  their heart.
• 16 Nevertheless When one turns to the Lord, the
  veil is taken away.
• 17 The Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of
  the Lord is, there is liberty.
• 18 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.

• WHY WERE THE GENTILES WALKING IN DARKNESS?
• READ EPHESIANS 417-19
• 17 This I say and testify in the Lord, that you
  should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles
  walk, in the futility of their mind,
• 18 Having their understanding darkened, being
  alienated from the life of God, because of the
  ignorance that is in them, because of the
  blindness of their heart
• 19 Who, being past feeling, have given themselves
  over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with
  greediness.

38
QUESTIONS ISAIAH 256-8

• WHAT HAPPENED TO ISRAEL?
• HOW DID THIS BRING SALVATION TO THE GENTILES?
• READ ROMANS 117-12
• 7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it
  seeks but the elect have obtained it, and the
  rest were blinded.
• 8 Just as it is written God has given them a
  spirit of stupor,
• Eyes that they should not see And ears that they
  should not hear,
• To this very day.
• 9 And David says Let their table become a snare
  and a trap,
• A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
• 10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do
  not see, And bow down their back always.
• 11 I say then, have they stumbled that they
  should fall? Certainly not! But through their
  fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has
  come to the Gentiles.
• 12 If their fall is riches for the world, and
  their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much
  more their fullness!

  and shall not despise their prayer.
• 18 This will be written for the generation to
  come, that a people yet to be created may praise
  the LORD.
• 19 For He looked down from the height of His
  sanctuary From heaven the LORD viewed the earth,
  
• 20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to
  release those appointed to death,
• 21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion and
  His praise in Jerusalem,
