What does the Bible say about the covering cast over all people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible speaks of a covering that separates sinful man from God's holiness, which Christ removed through His sacrifice.

The covering cast over all people, as mentioned in Isaiah 25:7, symbolizes the separation between sinful humanity and the holy God. This veil represents the covenant of works and the law, which demanded perfect obedience, thus highlighting our inability to reach God on our own. However, through Christ's atonement and fulfillment of the law, this covering has been removed, allowing sinners access to God and reconciliation with Him. Jesus' sacrifice truly tore down the separation brought about by sin.
