I remember getting this idea at Sukkot. Sure, everyone knows the stories of Creation, of Noah, of Joseph, of the Exodus, Joshua, Samson, and so on. How many actually study the meaning behind these stories and the text surrounding them? Those of us that were raised in church were taught many of these stories in Sunday School. Taught in a way that makes them children's stories, rather than events that actually happened. Then, as we get older, we are told that the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Something that pretty much declares the Old Testament is no longer needed. If a puzzle has a solution printed with it and everyone just studies the solution, why try to put the puzzle together? You already know how to do it.
However, the Bible never tells us the OT is a puzzle or something that needs to be revealed. This idea comes from verses taken out of context like 2 Corinthians 3:14-16, which is using the events of Exodus 34 as a simile of those who read Scriptures, but reject the Messiah. It is not making new commentary about the OT.
I will tell you from experience, that when you read your Bible in context and keep the front of the book in mind when reading the back of the book, so many things become revealed. So many things make so much more sense. You see things like Paul using Exodus 34 as a simile, instead of coming to a conclusion he is saying the OT is something veiled. Context is important.

Thought for Today: Monday October 24:
We must learn to live above our circumstances. This requires focus time with Elohiym, the One Who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only Ruach HaKodesh’s Life in us can empower us to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As we sit quietly in YHVH’s Presence, He shines Peace into our trouble minds and hearts. Little by little, we are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above our circumstances. We gain His Perspective on our lives, enabling us to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Thus, let us rest in His Presence, receiving Joy that no-one can take away from us.
You did cleave open the fountain and the flood, You did dry up mighty rivers. The day is Yours, the night is Yours too, You have established the light and the sun. You have set all the borders of the earth, You have made summer and winter. Remember this: the enemy has reproached יהוה, And a foolish people has despised Your Name. Do not give the being of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your afflicted ones forever. Look to the covenant, For the dark places of the earth are filled With haunts of violence. Let not the crushed one return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your Name. Arise, O Elohim, plead Your own cause, Remember how the foolish man reproaches You daily. Do not forget the voice of Your enemies, The uproar of those rising up against You increases continually.
Tehillim (Psalms) 74:15-23 TS2009
