It is interesting that the Lord did not want it generally known that man could attain this high level of spirituality where nothing could be kept hidden from him. He therefore instructed the brother of Jared to hide up the record of what the Lord had revealed to him. Nevertheless, we are going to discover later that a considerable number of the more righteous Saints were able to attain a degree of sublimation similar to that of the brother of Jared. As Moroni explains in Ether 12:19: "And there were many whose faith was so exceeding strong, even before Christ came, who could not be kept from within the veil, but truly saw with their eyes the things which they beheld with an eye of faith, and they were very glad."
