The thing that prevented the people of the old testament from seeing and knowing God personally and intuitively was this barrier called the veil. The standard church line of "study the bible to find Jesus" does not fit in here. The study of the bible for intellectual gain is fruitless. Theology does not save neither does it give life, instead it just puffs up with spiritual pride. The bible or its content does not have the power to save nor does it have the ability to change someone's life. Many have read the book, even memorised it in part, yet are still left empty handed with no content of the new life. Life changing effects only come through Jesus at the cross and only that when the veil is removed from our eyes.
The bible is not a tool to communicate life to all who don't know Jesus Christ intuitively. To those who do know Him it is not an end in itself to be worshipped, but alternately it is a map to where the treasure is to be found. Jesus is that treasure as the author and perfector of our faith, who is in fact our new Christian life! Seek Him and ask him to reveal himself to you and the things that are of God. Only those that are 'of Christ' are eligible to have this veil removed; and only those who are in Christ that diligently seek Him to give revelation will experience the removal of that veil.
To know about Jesus is one thing, but to actually 'know' Him personally is something far more precious. Many there are that claim to believe in God but as yet they don't know Him. The removal of the veil is that which makes the difference between knowing Him intuitively from just knowing about Him intellectually!
