cf. 2 Cor. 3:15-16
Lit., the face of the covering that covers up. Today the people on earth are covered with a veil that keeps them from seeing God’s economy (cf. 2 Cor. 3:15; 4:4), but in the restoration God will take away this covering. Then all the people will see something concerning God’s eternal economy.
Here peoples refers to the nations. In the restoration God will make a satisfying feast for the nations. At that time Jerusalem with Mount Zion will be the most joyful place on earth. It will be a center to which all the peoples of the earth will come to find enjoyment and satisfaction (Isa. 2:2-3).
