The THREE curtains

 

2 Corinthians 3:14-15

King James Version

14 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.

15 But even unto this day, 

when Moses is read, 

the vail is upon their heart.

This was in my heart since yesterday.

Finally, SPIRIT and I can write about it.

Wherein the world presents TWO curtains.

And yet, the THIRD curtain is all that matters.

Let's have a look.

One -- the "BAMBOO" curtain:

"The bamboo curtain is a Cold War political demarcation between the communist states of East Asia, particularly the People's Republic of China, and the capitalist states of East, South, and Southeast Asia. To the north and northwest lay the communist states of China, the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, North Korea, and the Mongolian People's Republic. To the south and east lay the capitalist and non-communist countries of India, Pakistan, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau."

Two -- the "IRON" curtain:

"During the Cold War, the Iron Curtain is a political metaphor used to describe the political boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union (USSR) to block itself and its Satellite States from open contact with the West, its allies and neutral states. On the east side of the Iron Curtain were the countries that were connected to or influenced by the Soviet Union, while on the west side were the countries that were NATO members, or connected to or influenced by the United States; or nominally neutral.

The nations to the east of the Iron Curtain were Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania[b], and the USSR; however, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR have since ceased to exist. Countries that made up the USSR were Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Ukraine, Estonia, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Lithuania, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan.

Three -- the "TEMPLE" curtain

Matthew 27:50-54

King James Version

50 Jesus, 

when he had cried again with a loud voice, 

yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, 

the veil of the temple was rent in twain 

from the top to the bottom; 

and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; 

and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, 

and went into the holy city, 

and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, 

and they that were with him, watching Jesus, 

saw the earthquake, 

and those things that were done, 

they feared greatly, saying, 

Truly this was the Son of God.

Now, I ask you, which one will last?

Which one will persevere?

Which one must we all focus on?

The world's "curtains", or GOD's temple "veil"?

When JESUS was crucified, and gave up His ghost, that veil was "rent".

What other power is there, but GOD's?

In the future, all other "curtains" and "veils" will be rent.

It has been prophesied:

Zechariah 12:9

King James Version

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that I will seek to destroy all the nations 

that come against Jerusalem.

What more does GOD have to do, that we may believe?

For now, man's vision is veiled.

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

1 Corinthians 13:12

King James Version

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; 

but then face to face: now I know in part; 

but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Because of his unbelief.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

But the veil of blindness can be lifted, through CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 3:16

King James Version

16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, 

the vail shall be taken away.
