Entering Within the Veil and Going Outside the Camp — Revelation from Moses, Joshua, and Hebrews

Exo. 33:7–11: “Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far from the camp, and call it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp… Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.”

Heb. 10:19–22: “Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness for entering the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus, which He initiated for us as a new and living way through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great Priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Gal. 6:18: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.” 

Item	Entering Within the Veil	Going Outside the Camp
Meaning	Entering the Holy of Holies, that is, into the heavenly Christ and His ministry in glory. Experientially, it means turning to our spirit to directly contact Him and receive supply.	Leaving the religious system, human traditions, and mixture. Experientially, it means uniting with the lowly Jesus, bearing His reproach, and walking the way of the cross.
Typology	The veil symbolizes God’s presence and glory, where the heavenly Christ is. Moses pitched the tent outside the camp, prefiguring the need to enter the reality of God’s presence.	The camp symbolizes religion that rejected Christ. Moses going outside the camp prefigures leaving the system to seek God. Joshua abiding there prefigures believers remaining in God’s presence, being prepared to enter the riches of Christ.
Way	By the spirit (Heb. 4:12), leaving the realm of the mind and soul; looking unto, considering, and experiencing Christ (Heb. 12:2–3; 3:1).	By faith and endurance, leaving religious strongholds and being joined to the Lord; bearing reproach and holding the testimony (Heb. 13:13; Matt. 16:24).
Example	Moses spoke with God face to face outside the camp (Exo. 33:7–11). Believers today enter within the veil in spirit to enjoy Christ’s priestly dispensing (Heb. 10:19–22).	Joshua did not depart from the tent (Exo. 33:11), learning God’s presence, later leading Israel into the good land (Josh. 1:1–9). Believers today, by seeing the heavenly Christ, are strengthened to bear the cross on earth (Heb. 13:13).
Application	Contact Christ in spirit, receive His infusion and grace, be filled with His riches, and become His corporate expression.	Suffer with the lowly Jesus, leave religious ease, bear the cross, and lead others into the reality of Christ.
Related Scriptures (Full Text)	Heb. 6:19–20: “We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters within the veil, where as a forerunner Jesus has entered for us, having become a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Heb. 12:2–3: “Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such contradiction by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary, fainting in your souls.” Heb. 3:1: “Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus.” Heb. 4:12: “For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” 2 Tim. 4:22: “The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.”	Exo. 33:11: “Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.” Josh. 1:1–9: “…Be strong and courageous… This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Heb. 13:13: “Let us, then, go forth unto Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.” Matt. 16:24: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” 2 Cor. 12:10: “Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions and distresses, on behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am powerful.”

  

Conclusion: 

Moses and Joshua show that going outside the camp is to seek God’s presence and be constituted by Him. Hebrews unveils that we must also enter within the veil in spirit to contact the heavenly Christ, that we may receive grace and power to go outside the camp, bearing His reproach. Both are complementary: entering within the veil supplies us; going outside the camp manifests our testimony.
