Word to the Wise: Obvelation

"Obvelation" (ob-vuh-LAY-shun) – from the Latin for "veil" or "shroud" – is the act of concealing.

Example (as used by the 19th century English preacher Charles Spurgeon): "Every revelation of God must also be an obvelation; there must be a veiling of his infinite splendour if anything is to be seen by finite beings."
