2- The Unveiling

Let us speak more of this concept of the unveiling in this post. Things that are kept a secret are usually covered in one way or another. People who keep a secret do not speak about it; a murderer who kills hides his murder weapon; and a person in high position who is corrupt will use his power to cover up his acts. There is a veil, a dark one that is kept over so that the truth would not be revealed. I have understood that God does the opposite when it comes to the veiling. Not just the unveiling in itself that matters, but that we will learn that God Himself desires to unveil Himself to any that seek knowledge of Him. This is because God is a Spirit of Truth (read John 15:26, John 16:13). Notice, in John 15:26 God’s Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth and as I had mentioned in my previous post, discovered quantified knowledge, which logic and science so preciously seeks to discover, is only one facet of the bigger principle which we call truth. Hence, the truth itself can only be derived from its creator and original source, which is the Spirit of God; also notice that the Spirit of Truth will do one prominent thing among many and that is to testify or reveal the mysteries of Christ to out hearts. In John 16:13 however more light is shed, as to unveil, about the Spirit of Truth. This is crucial. Here Christ speaks and says that same Spirit of Truth will guide the human race, those of course that only seek, in all truth and that He will also unveil things to come, or what we call the Eschatology of the Scriptures.

It is that simple. Truth can finally be discovered and the one who reveals it is the Spirit of God, and there is a promise that this same Spirit desires to lift veils off the truth that exists all around us. It was one of my brightest days when I comprehended that He truly desires to show Himself and reveal His secrets to any soul that panteth after Him. The very word Apocalypse is a derivation of the Greek word apokalupsis, which simply means unveiling. The last book of the Scriptures, written by the Apostle John the Beloved speaks of the revelation, or the revealing, the unveiling of truth, or as we commonly know it as the Apocalypse, (read Rev 1:1). This revelation is the unveiling of Jesus Christ as said by the opening verse of the book. The unveiling here can mean two things; the unveiling that Christ gave to John or the unveiling of Christ Himself to John. I believe it is prominently the unveiling of Christ Himself and through this comes the revelation of the events filmed so vividly in John's spirit mind. The divinity of Christ is so widely expressed in the book that it is hard to read it and not see the theme of it so entrenched and present in every chapter.

Meditate on this verse and ponder its words…

“He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, for he abides with you and will be in you” (John 14:17).

Look at the picture above. The clouds cover the sky completely, but there is a window that unveils the heaven, a break in the cloud. The same way it is with the truth; there is a veil around it but there is always a break in the veil to see what is beyond; that window, that break in the clouds is the Spirit of God. Why dont you take a minute and think on this and than in your heart ask that same Spirit to reveal what He wishes to reveal to you.
