The Mysteries

What are these mysteries?

Mark 4:11-12  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Mat 13:11  He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 

There are 22 verses for mystery in the Bible, 5 verses for mysteries;

Mystery in the Greek; G3466 μυστήριον From a derivative of μύω (to shut the mouth); a secret or “mystery” (through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites): – mystery.

Mark states the mystery of the kingdom is spoken in parables because of the lack of hearing and understanding.

Rom 11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 

Fulness here in the Greek means to replete or a completion. Would not fulness mean all?

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 

Col 2:2-5  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

Col 4:3-6  Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 

Rom 16:25-26  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 

1Co 2:6-10  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

1Co 15:51-52  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

Eph 1:5-11  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 

Eph 3:2-6  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 

Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 

Eph 5:30-32  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 

Eph 6:18-19  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 

Col 1:26-28  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 

Confirmation that the mystery is Christ in you.

2Th 2:6-12  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

1Ti 3:9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 

1Co 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 

1Co 13:2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

1Co 14:2  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 

Mystery accounts from Revelations;

Rev 1:20  The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. 

Rev 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 

Rev 17:5  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

The God Factor

To understand the true relationship that a soul has with God and His purpose of Creation, aligning with the Word, because the Word IS God, and the Word is alive.

1) The consciousness of God is total existence of Creation, and all of life is Him.

John 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

NOTE: Consciousness from the Greek is a co-perception and is a union to see completely.

2) God lives in all of life and breathes through all of His Creation, and Creation lives and breathes through God.

Acts 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

3) The total make-up of life consists of nothing but love for everything.

John 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

4) Sin from the Greek: Evil-Sin is no more than making a mistake, to err, to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize).

1Co 9:24  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 

5) “I am” is all of Creation, all God, and it is “finished.”

Rev 22:13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Gen 2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

1Co 8:12  But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

The Flesh Self

Emotions, feelings, ego, and fear are the creation of the flesh and are lived through the flesh mind, having awareness through consciousness.

Thus creating the appearance of separation from God and your neighbor. Creation itself is One.
Living from the “me first, or me only mindset”, is lacking the trust in God and living from oneself, not from your spiritual self.

The purpose of life-lives in a flesh existence is to experience all of the above, and overcome those challenges.

From your spiritual self, all you have is the knowledge of those flesh perspectives. Like when you see a roller coaster, imagine what it is like to ride on it, but without employing it through those physical senses, there is no real understanding or reality unless it is experienced.
Nothing learned.

The purpose is to have flesh life experiences. Overcome the shortcomings from the flesh senses. Judgement from your higher self; yes judgement from yourself, the God in you. Enabling the soul to overcome the shortcomings of the flesh life.

This also includes how you experience and understand your sin-evils which are no more than negativities throughout your experiences.
Negativity has purpose, and your true spirit has that understanding, the flesh does not.

John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Life is religion, life is worship and reverence to our Lord. Overcoming the flesh is living a life with and in love with Creation. Always a work in progress that is growing closer to heaven (within). The eternal life-lives of the soul.

Spiritual Wisdom

1Co 2:6-16 

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 

Perfection, which is your true self as scriptures show, having the spirit of God within, is able to compare spiritual truths from that wisdom and see those truths work within the world and understands them. This is hidden wisdom which can only be seen from the inner spiritual self.

Spiritually discerned from the Greek is to distinguish, to decide mentally, investigating, scrutinizing, to determine from your spiritual self in the understanding-perception of the world.

Spiritual Being

You are a spiritual being in a flesh body.

Spiritual Being from the Greek Concordance;

G4151 Greek: πνευματικός Non-carnal that is (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross) or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely) or (divinely) supernatural regenerate religious : – spiritual.

Your life should flow from your perfectly created spiritual soul with the controlled -awareness of all thoughts and actions into the world. Your life should flow from your heart-soul and not from your ego-mind.

You are not living from a flesh body into a spiritual being………or are you?

That being said; The spiritual world can not in any way flow from the flesh world into the spiritual world.

When the flesh dominates the spirit, life becomes challenging because the spirit is love-God and dominates the soul when allowed too. By way of awareness, the flesh is recognized as weak and the focus on life is through love and not mind-ego.

When the soul operates from the ego-flesh-world all aspects of life becomes defensive.

Regenerate is reformation or religiously reborn according to the Greek Concordance and divinely supernatural.

Relating To The Man Jesus

This study does not include salvation and baptism from Scriptures and the relationship to Jesus.

Are you a “Jesus”?

1John 2:5-6  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 

Mark 8:31-34  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 

Luke 9:23  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 

(See Also; Mat 16:24, Mark 10:21, Mat 10:38, Rom 6:6, Gal 2:20)

Point being, Jesus told Peter he was a Satan. Again, a representation of evil or an evil act. Second point being, Jesus himself, called an apostle a Satan, simply rebuking Jesus because of Peters thoughts for things that be of men?

Reference to sin-evil is no more than committing an error, making a mistake, missing the mark. Doesn’t this reference seem to apply more to Peters thoughts are no more than missing the mark?

Savourest from the Greek means to exercise the mind, that is, entertain or have sentiment or opinion, (that be of men).

Jesus is stating that not only the son of man must suffer many things, but he states that humankind should deny themselves, and take up their cross to follow me. Taking up your cross daily.

Follow (me) from the Greek from Mark 8:34 is;

G190 ἀκολουθέω From G1 (as a particle of union) and κέλευθος (a road); properly to be in the same way with, that is, to accompany (specifically as a disciple).

Miracles and the Created Soul

Mat 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

(See Also; Mat 21:21)

1John 3:1-2  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 

John 3:2  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 

These verses state that a man can do miracles like Jesus, provided God be with him.

Jesus forsaken by His Father?

Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Forsaken from the Greek; 

G1459 ἐγκαταλείπω From G1722 and G2641; to leave behind in some place, that is, (in a good sense) let remain over, or (in a bad one) to desert: – forsake, leave.

Mark 14:34  And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 

“tarry ye here” from the forsaken definition in the “good sense” in that Jesus remains on this earth within every soul.

Sorrowful from the Greek;

G4036 περίλυπος From G4012 and G3077; grieved all around, that is, intensely sad: – exceeding (very) sorry.

How can it be that Jesus himself feels that God has forsaken him? Jesus then states that he is exceedingly sorrowful unto death.

This simple understanding is that Jesus was born into the flesh as a flesh being, with all the attributes that all created souls birthed into the flesh experiences.

Luke 6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 

To be as his master is to be Christ-like. That being said, why is there an appearance of separation between humankind and Christ in understanding that we are to be as He is? He had to teach humankind how to act and how to see. (If you have eyes to see and ears to hear.)

John 15:20  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Because humankind is or can be as Jesus, John 15:20 is stating that there should be a consistent awareness of not being greater than Jesus. Exactly what Satan as a soul failed to do.

Does Jesus have to judge?

John 8:15-16  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 

John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Luke 6:37-40  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 

(See Also; Mat 7:1-2)  

Jesus is stating that souls ultimately judge themselves.

Scripture states God’s Creation is finished. Judgement was done at creation. Since God knew you from the beginning, and knows your eternity, if there was any judgement, it was prior to your freewill. Freewill begins from the forming of the flesh, to allow souls to live as they wish in their eternity. To live without any interference because “it is finished.” (Gen 2:1)

Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Condemn the sin, not the sinner.

John 8:10-11  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 

Condemn from the Greek;

G2632 κατακρίνω From G2596 and G2919; to judge against, that is, sentence: – condemn, damn. G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish: – avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think.

Condemning is to judge against. Judging oneself is understanding and learning from errors and mistakes. Progressing in the avoidance of negative repetitive natures.

ALL flesh is corrupt until the “old man” is renewed.

Eph 4:22-24  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 

Gen 6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 

John 2:14-16  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. 

Interesting how Jesus did something where in this day in age, Jesus would have been led to jail. A hard pill to swallow is in that Jesus as a man, was a man, acted like a man, but He knew His higher self, and the love He had for souls and the understanding of how to access His higher self or inner self to overcome, with some struggles, showed by example, the closeness souls have to Jesus.

Mark 6:46  And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

Luke 6:12  And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 

Jesus tempted;

Mat 4:1-11  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. 

Satan, (as an individual soul), seemed to think he could tempt Jesus. Satan knowing who he is, Satan also knew the flesh is weak and made the attempt to get Jesus to worship him.

Summarizing;

Jesus being God in the flesh, lived in the flesh and had no advantage over any created soul. Jesus simply understood who he was from His awareness of his true spiritual self and knowing the powers that the spirit-soul itself has, and learning how to overcome the flesh.

Mans 3 Estates (In The Walk Towards Salvation)

Man has a progression of 3 estates from birth to death (pertaining to salvation). The estates are;

• Damnation
• To be reformed, a reformation
• To be regenerated, a regeneration

A man’s estate (condition of existence), is the degree and quality of his standing in relationship to his love and obedience towards God and ultimately leading to salvation at death of the flesh.

A man’s first estate of damnation

1Ti 5:12  Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

Damnation in the Greek Text; G2917 κρίμα From G2919; a decision (the function or the effect, for or against [“crime”]). G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish.

Summarizing;

Having damnation is having the option to properly distinguish and decide a for or against position, in the mind. The first faith is faith you inherited from creation.

We can see in this next verse that resistance, or making the wrong decision receives damnation.

Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

(Damnation in NT verses; Mat 23:14, Mat 23:33, Mark 3:29, Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47; John 5:29, Rom 3:8, 1Co 11:29, 2Peter 2:3) (Damned is found 3 times; Mark 16:16, Rom 14:23, 2Th 2:12)

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 

The Second Estate; Being Reformed

Making the decision to avoid damnation leads to the second estate of being reformed.

Leviticus 26:23-24 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

Roadblocks to reformation can be in the a soul returning to a former state, (to not think from God but from self. Illness where one can not rationalize. Bodily illness not in a state for freedom. A state of blindness of understanding truths, or God closes their eyes.

The Greek word for reformed is; H3256 יָסַר A primitive root; to chastise, literally (with blows) or figuratively (with words); hence to instruct: – bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach.

The English definition of reformed is to be caused to abandon an evil manner of living and follow a good one.

Man’s Third Estate; Regeneration

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Regeneration in the Greek Text; G3824 παλιγγενεσία From G3825 and G1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), that is, (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically Messianic restoration: – regeneration. G3825 πάλιν Probably from the same as G3823 (through the idea of oscillatory repetition); (adverbially) anew, that is, (of place) back, (of time) once more, or (conjugationally) furthermore or on the other hand: – again.

We can see that the regeneration process is in the same sense going from damnation to reformation previously discussed.

Going from the physical material world in their walk with God to the deeper spiritual relationship that takes “heaven” within us to that higher estate.

It begins when a man desists from evils as sins, progresses as he shuns them, and is perfected as he battles against them.

But he becomes spiritual only in the measure in which he is in truths. Everyone is regenerated by means of truths and of a life in accord with them; by truths he knows life and by his life he does the truths.
