How preachers through history handled this text
6 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 25, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“THE VEIL OVER ALL NATIONS He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.'--ISAIAH xxv. 7. The previous chapter closes with a prediction of the reign of Jehovah in Mount Zion before His elders' in Glory. The allusion apparently is to the elders being summoned up to the Mount and seeing the Glory, as the body of heaven in its clearness.' The veil in this verse is probably a similar allusion to that which covered Moses' face. …”
