Why Is the Spirit World Veiled?

Even the writer of Hebrews wrote to be careful when entertaining a stranger because you might not be aware that it is an angel (Heb.13:2).If our eyes could be opened and the veil lifted, we would continually see angels, demonic entities, and other forms of spirit beings.While some may wish to see into the invisible realm, the fact is that when great men of God and Hebrew prophets have pierced this veil and seen, for example, angels in their full glory, the reactions have normally been to fall down and be gripped with an overwhelming feeling of fear.Abraham fell into a deep trance (Gen.15:12) and fell on his face when God talked to him (Gen.17:3, 17).

Ezekiel describes seeing the Almighty upon His throne, with cherubim and amazing heavenly beings appearing like wheels spinning within wheels (Ezek.1), and he too fell upon his face (v.28).In several instances when a vision of God or the angelic realm manifested, the prophet fell down upon his face (Ezek.9:8; 43:3; 44:4).Daniel described an angelic visitor with brass-colored arms and feet, white hair, a gold belt, and eyes like fire.His reaction was so visibly powerful that even the men with him who did not see the vision became overwhelmed and began "quaking" and fled, hiding themselves (Dan.10:5-7, kjv).

Daniel found himself on his face with no strength remaining in his body (vv.8-9).When John saw the resurrected Christ in heaven, he "fell at His feet as dead" (Rev.1:17).Even Balaam's donkey fell down when it saw an angel of the Lord (Num.22:27)!
