What does the veil over the hearts of men signify?

Answered in 1 source

The veil signifies the spiritual blindness caused by sin, preventing people from recognizing the glory of God and the truth of the gospel.

The concept of the veil over the hearts of men, as explained in 2 Corinthians 3, represents the spiritual blindness that results from the fall and the effects of sin. It hinders individuals from seeing the truth of God's holiness and the fulfillment of the law in Christ. The natural man, without divine illumination, will fail to grasp the depths of God’s requirements, often relying on self-righteous works instead. This veil also embodies the deceptive allure of false religions that distract individuals from the true gospel. Only through divine intervention, when the veil is lifted by the Holy Spirit, can one truly see and embrace the glory of God manifested in Christ and experience the transforming power of the gospel.
