And because of the knowledge of this man he could not be kept from beholding within the veil; and he saw the finger of Jesus, which, when he saw, he fell with fear; for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord; and he had faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting.
The definition of faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Once we have seen, we no longer have faith, for we have prefect knowledge. Knowledge is wonderful, but it is also dangerous. Knowledge leaves no excuse. God could give everyone instant knowledge, but for those who are not ready for knowledge, it would bring instant condemnation. And so through faith we grow in knowledge until someday, when we are ready, knowledge becomes perfect.
