“And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.”
On this mountain He will destroy the face of the covering that is over all peoples, and the veil that is woven over all nations, suggesting that the banquet includes the removal of obscurity and the revelation of what has been hidden—perhaps the understanding of God's purposes or the transcendent reality of God's presence. The covering and veil imagery suggests barriers to perception and understanding, obscurations that have prevented peoples from recognizing God's purpose and power. The destruction of these barriers establishes that the eschatological banquet includes the revelation of truth and the clarity of vision. This verse suggests that salvation involves not merely material blessing but spiritual illumination, the removal of misunderstanding and the revelation of God's purposes.
