Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13)

MYSTERIES Matthew 13:11 Jesus answered them, To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. A "mystery" in Scripture is a previously hidden truth, now divinely revealed; but in which a supernatural element still remains despite the revelation. The greater mysteries are: 1) The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven (Mat. 13:3-50). (2) the mystery of Israel's blindness during this age (Rom. 11:25) (with context); (3) the mystery of the translation of living saints at the end of this age (1Co. 15:51-52); (1Th. 4:14-17). (4) the mystery of New Testament church as one body composed of Jew and Gentile (Eph. 3:1-11); (Rom. 16:25); (Eph. 6:19); (Col. 4:3). (5) the mystery of the church as the bride of Christ (Eph. 5:28-32). (6) the mystery of the inliving Christ ( Gal. 2:20); (Col. 1:26-27). (7) the "mystery of God even Christ," that is, Christ as the incarnate fullness of the Godhead embodied, in whom all the divine wisdom for man subsists (Col. 2:2); (Col. 2:9); (1Co. 2:7). (8) the mystery of the processes by which godlikeness is restored to man (1Ti. 3:16). (9) the mystery of iniquity (2Th. 2:7); compare (Mat. 13:33). (10) the mystery of the seven stars (Rev. 1:20). (11) the mystery of Babylon (Rev. 17:5); (Rev. 17:7).
