It was the old covenant that veiled Jesus. It veiled Him when He was born, it veiled Him when He died, and it veiled Him when He was resurrected. It wasn’t until Revelation, an unveiling, that the veil was taken away. What Revelation prophesied became reality when the temple and old covenant were finally destroyed. The veil of judgment and death, through which people had seen God since the days of the vassal covenant, was finally removed. The old covenant had prevented people from seeing who God really is; all they had seen was judgment and condemnation. But on the other side of AD 70, that veil has been taken away, and we are now free to see God as the loving father He is. The first century believers would have clearly understood that this is what Revelation is about—prophesying the destruction of the old covenant, which had been veiling God, and thereby revealing fully the glory of Christ and His new covenant.

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
