SUMMARY CONCLUSION
God appears to be associating concealing with the state of the Church in tribulation. Time when Christ is hidden and the Elect are silent for a season. The unsaved Body at the same time has its secret in the dark night. However when Christ is revealed, God causes the Elect to search Him out by unsealing the Bible to them. Another point to consider is that Babylon is the Glory of God in tribulation and judgment. Therefore, It is God’s glory to conceal Christ in judgment and for the believers to search him out unto salvation as they come out of Babylon.
