The Rapture and the Lifting of the Veil Between Worlds
1 Corinthians 13:12

Introduction

There are some verses in the Bible that strike you like a hammer, and there are others that pull on you like a curtain being slowly drawn back from a hidden room. First Corinthians 13:12 is one of those verses. Paul says, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). That is not just a verse about general spiritual maturity. That is not merely a poetic way of saying Christians will understand more one day. That is a verse about the present limitations of life in this body and the coming overthrow of those limitations when the saint passes from faith into sight. It is a veil verse. It is a distance verse. It is a waiting verse. And when you lay that verse beside the Rapture, it starts burning with a light too bright to miss. The Rapture is the moment that veil between worlds is lifted for the Church in a way this age has never known. It is the instant the dim glass gives way to direct presence.

Now I want to say at once what should be said so no fool later pretends I ignored context. First Corinthians 13 is in the middle of Paul’s teaching on charity, spiritual gifts, and the partial nature of present knowledge in contrast with the coming perfection of full presence and full realization. The chapter is not a rapture chapter in the narrow sense like 1 Thessalonians 4 or 1 Corinthians 15. But that does not weaken the connection. It strengthens it. Paul is dealing with the present state of the saint in this age and contrasting it with the coming state in the presence of Christ. He says now, and then. He says in part, and then fully. He says through a glass, darkly, and then face to face. That “then” has to land somewhere, and it lands in full force when the Church is caught up, changed, glorified, and brought into the direct presence of her Lord. The verse is not isolated from the Rapture. It flowers in the Rapture.

That is why this subject matters so much. We are living on the near side of the veil right now. We know Christ truly, but not yet by glorified sight. We know Scripture truly, but still under the burden of partial understanding and mortal limitation. We pray, preach, study, discern, defend, and love, but we still do all of it as people on this side of the curtain. We are not blind, but neither are we face to face yet. We are not empty, but neither are we complete yet. We are not lost, but neither are we home yet. The Rapture is that sudden, supernatural line where the veil between worlds is lifted for the Church, where all the dimness of pilgrimage gives way to the clarity of presence, and where faith becomes sight in one blazing moment.

1. Right Now the Saint Lives on the Veiled Side of Reality

Paul says, “For now we see through a glass, darkly” (1 Corinthians 13:12). That one word, now, tells you everything about the present condition of the believer. Now is the age of partial sight. Now is the age of indirect perception. Now is the age of believing what God said before seeing all that God meant in its full unveiled splendor. The Christian is not walking in total ignorance. He has light. He has the Spirit. He has the Word. He has truth. But he is still living in a world where the final realities remain partly veiled by mortality, sin’s lingering effects, and the limitations of creaturely existence in a fallen realm.

That is why the Christian life can feel so much like real knowledge mixed with longing. We know Christ is risen, but we have not yet touched His glorified hand with our glorified body. We know heaven is real, but we have not yet walked its streets. We know the saints who died in Christ are alive with Him, but we have not yet embraced them in resurrection joy. We know the promises are true, but we are still waiting for the full bodily realization of those promises. So the present life of faith

Vice President JD Vance said recently that he doesn’t think UFOs are aliens but demons. Now lets think logically, if UFOs were demons Trump would never have called them “people from space” (video 1) or would never have said they weren’t a threat (video 2). Maybe Trump didn’t brief JD Vance because he is very religious, most people are still not ready for the truth not understanding that the truth is the most incredible and liberating thing.

“It's a shame that we still have to use words like "angel" or "demon" but religious programming still runs deep on Earth.

As someone who comes from a religious background, I use these words to help people understand that scriptures confirm the 'good guys' travel in flying crafts.

"Angels" from other stars and dimensions travel here (with or without spacecraft) through portals. They have bases here. They want to be seen without fear.

Negative entities without any real power hide on the astral plane and manipulate humans into thinking everything outside of Earth is demonic.

The dark forces maintain an illusion of power with lies. The light forces allow lies, and free will, because Earth souls are being morally prepared for the next step (the rapture/shift).

Religious and non-religious people have been filled with a false sense of superiority over non-humans from space. The truth will be humbling.”—

3I/ATLAS JUST WOKE UP AGAIN - AND IT’S BRIGHTENING AT 5.5 AU OUTBOUND! Public data just dropped: March 22 → observed mag 19.26
March 28 → observed mag 18.5 (COBS)
(lower # is brighter)
That’s nearly a full magnitude brighter in 6 days… while JPL predictions said it should be fading to 19.43–19.48. And get this -zero public observations logged from March 23–26. The exact window when this thing decided to flare up again after the Jupiter flyby. They do not want us seeing that data. This one is NOT over yet. Observers - if you’re imaging Gemini right now, get on it and submit to COBS. The light curve just got spicy...
Stay tuned more coming.
