What did Moses do when he saw the glory of the LORD? He asked the Lord to forgive their sin and take Israel for his inheritance. Justification and Adoption.
And then God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses for the second time. Sanctification (holy living).
From that day on, whenever Moses went in before the LORD – whenever he went into the presence of God, he would remove the veil. But when he came out, he would veil his face.
Why does Moses veil his face? Perhaps more importantly, why does he take the veil off when he goes back in?
In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul will give us the answer. It’s because the glory was fading. The glory of the LORD that was reflected in Moses’ face kept fading. Moses needed constant booster shots of glory in order to keep the glory shining!
It’s sort of like what Hebrews says about the sacrifices in the Old Testament. One wasn’t enough. They had to keep offering sacrifices every year – every day! – which, if you think about it, means that we’re hopelessly stuck.
We need a once-for-all sacrifice. We need a glory that does not fade – that does not need constant booster shots!
