Whenever Moses went into the Tent of the LORD's presence to speak to the LORD, he would take the veil off. When he came out, he would tell the people of Israel everything that he had been commanded to say,

When you are in trouble and all those things happen to you, then you will finally turn to the LORD and obey him.

but you will have to obey him and keep all his laws that are written in this book of his teachings. You will have to turn to him with all your heart.

Let us examine our ways and turn back to the LORD.

In just this way the people of Israel will have to live for a long time without kings or leaders, without sacrifices or sacred stone pillars, without idols or images to use for divination.

But the time will come when the people of Israel will once again turn to the LORD their God and to a descendant of David their king. Then they will fear the LORD and will receive his good gifts.

There is a secret truth, my friends, which I want you to know, for it will keep you from thinking how wise you are. It is that the stubbornness of the people of Israel is not permanent, but will last only until the complete number of Gentiles comes to God.

I will make this covenant with them when I take away their sins."

Here he will suddenly remove the cloud of sorrow that has been hanging over all the nations.

When that day comes, the deaf will be able to hear a book being read aloud, and the blind, who have been living in darkness, will open their eyes and see.

"I myself will teach your people and give them prosperity and peace.

None of them will have to teach a neighbor to know the LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the LORD, have spoken."

The prophets wrote, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me.

This does not mean that anyone has seen the Father; he who is from God is the only one who has seen the Father.
