Exodus 34:1-10 KJV
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

Exodus 34:27-35 KJV
27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Imagine recording the words of the Lord down after breaking the first set of commandments. This is after the idol of the calf. God warning them not to worship any other gods. From the begining before the law is even recorded. They were only to worship God. Knowing scripture and knowing the sin of Adam and Eve and the atonement that came through sacrifice, Moses in need to perform a sacrifice because of Israel sin, but God speaks and says there going to be covenant. This covenant would the covenant that came by the way of Christ Jesus. Yet for now the covenant of the law would apply. The covenant of what been broken by man would be restablished with Israel. While on this mount his face began to shine because the law of faith was being restablished. He came off the mountain only to have to put a vail over his face. The people could not look upon Moses shining face, because it was evidence he been with the Lord. Moses would hid his face them.

As New believers in Christ we are given upon entry into heaven, upon standing in the presence of God our new image, fashion in the image of Christ. A body uncorrupted and undefiled. We at the point of death are literally transformed in the presence of God. Our veil of old body as we come to the throne hiding the evidence of fatih, the evidence of our hope. Upon salvation many believers feel jubilation in their heart, that passes with time. It not that one does not feel after, it the newest of faith and the joy of the Lord. Moses was talking directly to God how could he not feel joy at being in God's presence. Take note their was veil put on his face, to cover this joy. This joy that Israel did not know, the joy of forgiveness, the joy of the promise spoken about. The joy Israel was not experience because of their need for an intercessor, the need for a priesthood of their choosing and not the one of God's chosing. Moses coming back and teaching the laws of God to the people and reading them for the first time. Joy of the law was not enough to make their face shine, because they were missing the presence of God in their soul. God was leading Israel but they did not welcome God into their inner circle. It like a believer because God has reveal his reality to a person, but the need of someone else to interpid scripture to them. They were not ready to receive all God had to offer them his way or with his choice of intercessor. God's word being the incesor for man and then God's word coming in human flesh as the Messiah and the only go between offered to man by which man could be saved and be redeemed.

We are to look to Jesus as our intercessor to be changed and to have us subdue to him. The law could not change the division by man even with obedience, the sacrifice made could only take away the sin of man. Obedience to Christ itself will not save one of us, but receive Christ as atonement for sin will save each of us that believe. Our belief and our faith in God's way more important then our obedience. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. That is why faith is more important then the law, but the law is good to know how to conduct oneself in life in obedience to the will of God. Christ himself came as intercessor, and atonement for sin. God making a vail to be worn to separate whose child Moses was by faith. No one could enter the holies of holies without out faith in God's grace. No one could enter the sanctuary without atonement for sin being given. They holiness of Moses not coming by his perfection of the law, but by God's grace through faith. God wanted man to come to him by his grace and not by their works or achievements.

Moses stood before God and said let me make the necessary sacrifice for Israel. Yet God said no he was going to give them a new covenant between him and them. He was going be the one to forgive them, to purge their sin through his Son. That they no longer had to make sacrifice to cleanse them from sin. He would make the sacrifice and continue to be their God. To be their Lord, to be salvation through faith. Those who believe not would be lost to God's saving grace. Those that believed would become children of God, born by the Spirit and washed in the blood of Christ. The vail is remove when in the presence of God. Moses took the vail off, because he needed it not between him and God but between man and man because of his holiness. When we are before God we are fully naked, fully exposed by our sin, by our love for God, and God sees even the deepst part of our heart that can not be hidden from him. We walk in the presence of God in need of purifying, no we are purified by the blood of Christ through faith in his redeeming blood. Christ redeeming power to remove our unholy state and turn us into holy beings before God. Not in our power but through faith in Christ.

Dear Heavenly Father, help us to understand we are coverd upon faith in Christ to walk into your presence and to remove the veil to expose us as who we really are. That we are in your presents exposed, nake and cleansed from our sin through the atoning work of the cross. That by faith we stand in your presence holy because of the work of your Son. Give us the faith to stand in your presence trusting your word by faith and the power of your atonement in our life. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: 2 Corinthians 3:13-18 KJV
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
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.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Philippians 3:20-21 KJV
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
