Having all things laid naked and open before Him has a way of bringing us to that place.

When all is said and done, every mouth will be stopped. None will be able to boast. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" will not be just a verse in the Bible. We will know it to the core. When we give all praise and glory to the Lamb in that day, we will be doing just that.

Thankful Jane
I cannot remember where it is or the exact quote so let me paraphrase what I remember of some speaking by brother Nee.


Essentially man tries to hide unsightly things so that the 'glory' of the church is preserved.

God exposes them so that she can be truly glorious.

Steve's comments.

The NT has too many examples of God not hiding things. When the ugly things are exposed and eradicated then the true beauty of God's handiwork will be seen for the whole universe to appreciate.
