"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."

ἡμεῖς δὲ πάντες ἀνακεκαλυμμένῳ προσώπῳ τὴν δόξαν κυρίου κατοπτριζόμενοι τὴν αὐτὴν εἰκόνα μεταμορφούμεθα ἀπὸ δόξης εἰς δόξαν καθάπερ ἀπὸ κυρίου πνεύματος

Unveiled = anakalyptō =

Drawing back a veil.

Beholding =katoptrizō =

To mirror / to reflect.

Changed = metamorphoō =

To change/ transfigure.

To change into another form.

The transformation of where we dwell is by the road of anakalyptō katoptrizō, the working of Him who conforms the all to Himself.

The Author of the all is the Finisher of the all.
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
