<p>3:13 <i>And are not like Moses, who put a veil upon his face so the children of Israel could not gaze to see the outcome of that which was fading away- </i>The LXX in Ex. 34:30-35 clarifies that <i>when</i> Moses ceased speaking, he put a veil over his face. Israel therefore didn&rsquo;t perceive that his glory was fading. What was the &quot;outcome&quot; or the <i>telos</i>, the end, of the fading glory of the Mosaic law? Rom. 10:4 uses the same words: &quot;Christ is the end of the law... to every one that believes&quot;. The Mosaic law lead those who have believed in Christ <i>to</i> Christ once they re-read it with Christ in view. But the law itself was given in order to stop Israel at the time from perceiving Him. The Law only made sense from the perspective of one who had believed in Christ. Rather as Bible prophecies, in the sense of predictions of future events, do not of themselves give rise to faith in God and the Bible. Once the step of faith is taken, then they (and many other things such as archaeology, types and shadows) all make perfect sense in confirming the faith that has been expressed. Romans and Gal. 3:19 likewise argue that the Law was given in order to enslave people under sin- rather than to be decoded as a hidden picture of a future redeemer figure.</p>
