INDEX
pseudo scientific arguments protest that the second coming of the Lord,
accompanied as it is described by prodigious physical consequences, is
impossible.  Such `ignore wilfully' both the teaching of Genesis 1:2 and of
6:7, and the evidence of disruption that is everywhere legible in the crust of
the earth.  God has interfered with the so -called laws of nature in the past,
and He is pledged to interfere on a grander scale in the future: `and who may
abide the day of His coming?' unless they are found `in Christ', the antitype
of the ark in the days of Noah.
Kalupto occurs eight times, and we accordingly give a concordance to the
references:
Matt. 8:24
The ship was covered with the waves.
Matt. 10:26
There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed.
Luke 8:16
No man ... covereth it with a vessel.
Luke 23:30
Say ... to the hills, cover us.
2 Cor. 4:3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
Jas. 5:20
Shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Pet. 4:8
Shall cover the multitude of sins.
This word is derived from kalumma, `a veil', and this word occurs four
times, namely in 2 Corinthians 3:13,14,15 and 16.  In addition we must note
that anakalupto occurs in 2 Corinthians 3:14 and 18 `untaken away' or `open
face'.  One important fact emerges from this concordance, namely that 2
Corinthians 3 employs the figure of a veil, and that the translation `open'
face, and `hid' in the expansion of this figurative passage, themselves `veil'
the eyes of the reader and prevent him from perceiving the truth.  The
accompanying diagram may help to remove `the veil' that the A.V. has
perpetuated, and to make clear Satan's use of undispensational truth in his
endeavour to blot out `the gospel of the glory'.
