Jesus promised Mark 4:22 "There is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad." God has both hidden and revealed His intention and desire to have a dwelling place on earth, in a chosen and prepared people.

"God has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was established in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." 2 Timothy 1:9-10

John 5:22-23 "The Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son: That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent Him."

Judgment is not only related to God evaluating our deeds, the lack of condemnation and the forgiveness of sin but also how much of God's light is measured out in our own lives and measured out through all creation. How much of God's glory is measured out and revealed is a continual process, and Jesus measures it out. "For by Jesus were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together and have their proper place. (Colossians 1:16-17)

In the beginning God said let there be light. Jesus measured out how much light there would be. The first light was spiritual; it was before the sun and it was measured out. God said, "Let there be light: and there was light." The infinite light of God does not shine on our minds and hearts fully but is measured out as wisdom and understanding by the Spirit of the Lord. It is Jesus who both conceals and reveals the glory of God. Through His death and resurrection He has enabled the glory of God to be revealed to us and in us who have received His life and Spirit. "He alone has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting." (1 Timothy 6:16) Therefore Christ in us is the hope of glory, for in Him are all things judged and measured out. It is by Him that living waters flow from our belly.

The work of the Holy Spirit is a continual work of measurement, judgment and revelation.

"Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you." (John 16:13-15) All judgment is given unto the Son. His judgment is the process that we feel working in ourselves. "No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (John 1:18) It is Jesus Christ that both hides and reveals. All is hidden in Him and by Him and for Him. "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3)

We are made in the image of God. This process of concealing and revealing can be further understood by a comparison. Within the nature of the soul and the power of the mind there is also both a potential for revelation and a potential for limitation and concealment. We see that the essential power of the intellect contains the potential for revelation, the ability to conceive and express any intellectual concept. It also possesses the power of limitation, to confine the scope or revelation of any concept. Thus we see there is a power of limitation that defines concepts. This power of limitation is an essential power of intellect itself. Just as that power of the mind is the source for the revelation of intelligence, to conceive of and reveal all intellectual ideas, so too, is it the source for the power of limitation that defines the ideas. Seen from the point of view of a teacher, a preacher, or anyone seeking to reveal the depth of a concept that they possess, even if they understand it completely, they need to choose carefully the words used to transmit the concept to the mind of another. This includes even the ability for another to grasp the concept at all. Once received the person can possibly develop it to the fullness of the one who revealed it.
