The Seven Mysteries Of God

 


Be A Faithful Steward Preaching The Seven Mysteries Of God

     Today Brother Bob will be a faithful steward and preach about the seven mysteries of God. This messaage was inspired after I listened to a sermon from Peter Ruckman. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 tells us Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. A good steward must preserve the seven mysteries of God and proclaim them everywhere. In other words we all should be good stewards by reminding everyone about the seven mysteries recorded in the bible. 

     A mystery can not be explained and must be believed by faith to be saved and blessed. One must believe with their heart like a little child the mystery that Jesus is God by faith to get saved. Just believe by faith that a man named Jesus is God by faith and you will be saved. Don't try to reason with your mind that Jesus is God; Believe that Jesus is God with your heart by faith, repent and decide to stop sinning, and believe that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again and you will be saved. 



Learn The Seven Mysteries Of God Listed Below And Tell Them Everywhere

First Mystery-1 Timothy 3:16-Jesus Is God Manifest In The Flesh

     The first mystery of God is listed at 1 Timothy 3:16 that says And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, God (Jesus) 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. In other words, no one can explain or understand with their mind by reasoning the mystery of how Jesus can be God in the flesh. But when anyone believes by faith with their heart like a little child the mystery that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh they will rejoice and be saved. Hebrews 11:6 says For without faith it is impossible to please Him (the Lord Jesus); for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  

     Note that the 1611 King James Version bible correctly quotes 1 Timothy 3:16 saying God (Jesus) was manifest in the flesh. The new translated bibles misquote 1 Timothy 3:16 denying that Jesus is God by saying great is the mystery of godliness, (He or Who) not God was manifest in the flesh. These translated bibles deny that Jesus is God in the flesh and should not be studied or used for preaching. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh and not just a man (he) was manifest in the flesh. Therefore only study out of a 1611 KJV bible which is the accurate Word of God.

     The first mystery that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh can not be explained and must be believed by faith to get saved. No one can explain how God (Jesus) who created the billions of stars, planets, and galaxies came to earth as a baby. Simeon believed that he would see God manifest in the flesh before he died. And Simeon got saved when he held God (Jesus) as a baby confessing that Jesus is God. Luke 2:28 tells us Then took he Him (baby Jesus) up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy Word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 

     It's a mystery that God (Jesus) was a baby that Mary and Joseph had to take care of. Mary would tell little Jesus Put that down Jesus; Mama said no. But Jesus was no ordinary baby. Mary was talking to God when Mary talked to baby Jesus. If you believe by faith the mystery that God (Jesus) was manifest in the flesh as a baby you will rejoice and sing Away in a  manger no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the night sky looked down where He laid, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 

     It's a mystery how instead of little baby Jesus crying, Jesus is also God who will soon descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. It's a mystery that instead of little baby Jesus' eyes closed softly in sleep, like John the saved saints will all soon see the Lord Jesus' eyes like a flame of fire. Revelation 1:14-15 describes the Lord Jesus saying His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire. And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters.

     And note the following scriptures that prove that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. 1 John 5:20 says And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Romans 14:9 says For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. And Acts 2:36 proclaims Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.



Second Mystery-Colossians 1:27 Christ In You The Hope Of Glory

     The second mystery of God is listed at Colossians 1:27 that says 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. It's a mystery how a pure sinless Saviour named Jesus can dwell in billions of wicked vile sinners that got saved. No one can explain the mystery of how Jesus can live inside of 30 million christians at the same time. But again you just have to be like a little child and believe the mystery that Jesus can dwell in saved sinners (never leaving them or forsaking them) while they receive peace to overcome the daily troubles of this world.

     And according to Galatians 2:20 after anyone gets saved, they can proclaim I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. By faith saved saints believe the mystery that Christ is in them as the hope of glory. Every day saved saints should proclaim the promise of Romans 6:11 telling everyone Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Then we can all boldly say Hebrews 13:6 The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 



Third Mystery-Ephesians 5:32 Jesus Is Married To The Bride Church

     The third mystery of God is listed at Ephesians 5:32 that says This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. It's a mystery that Jesus marries a bride church made up of both male and female saved people. It's a mystery and no one can explain how millions of saved men can love one man who is God named Jesus and be called the bride of Christ. But by faith when anyone gets saved, they believe that they become the bride of Christ. 

     Ephesians 5:25 speaks about how the bride church is married to Jesus saying Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word. that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. 

     In other words, when anyone gets saved, they become bone of His (Jesus') bones, and flesh of His (Jesus') flesh. 1 Corinthians 6:15 explains this saying Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. And 2 Corinthians 11:2 says saved people are espoused to Christ as a chaste virgin saying For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, for I have espoused you to one husband (Jesus), that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 

      To sum it up; when anyone gets saved they become part of Jesus and Jesus becomes part of them. If you become part of Jesus after salvation, you can't lose your salvation. (Once saved always saved). A preacher once told a man the words of Jesus from John 10:27-29; My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 

     After the preacher told a man about John 10:27-29, the man replied but a man could jump out of God's hand and lose his salvation. The preacher replied if after salvation I'm part of Jesus and Jesus is part of me, bone of Jesus' bones and flesh of Jesus' flesh, it's impossible for me to jump out of the Lord Jesus' hand and lose my salvation. I might look like a rooster but I've never been plucked. Once I'm saved I'm always saved. 

     Remember 1 John 5:13 promises that when anyone believes on the name of the Son of God (Jesus) they will know that they have eternal life and can proclaim to the world once saved always saved. Therefore, after salvation you'll get a witness and know that you're saved. If anyone doubts their salvation, they need to get saved with the assurance of eternal life by repenting, confessing Jesus to be God, and believing that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Finally since saved saints are married to Jesus, every day say I am crucified with Christ proclaiming by Jesus' stripes I am healed of all diseases. Let the devil know every day that when Jesus died on the cross any worry, fear, trouble or sickness was, is, and forever will be destroyed at the cross. Hebrews 2:14 promises that anything placed on the cross with Jesus by faith is destroyed saying Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy Him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. 




Fourth Mystery-Romans 11:25 Blindness In Part To Israel 
Until The Fulness Of The Gentiles Be Come In

     The fourth mystery of God is listed at Romans 11:25 saying For I would not, bretheren, that ye should be ignorent 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. And so all Israel shall be saved. In other words it's a mystery that can not be explained why God has blinded part of the Jews' eyes about Jesus until the fulness of the Gentiles are saved. 

     But eventually Jesus will return to save the Jews in Israel during Jacob's trouble during the seven year tribulation where the Jews will realize that Jesus is their Messiah. In other words, Jesus is not done with the Jews. Replacement theology that says the church replaces Israel and the Jews is wrong. Remember when anyone gets saved, they have a Jew named Jesus living in them and Jesus wants us to bless the Jews and Israel. Finally remember that it was the Jews that gave us our 1611 KJV bible. Remember the warning from Romans 11:17-21 telling us not to boast against and hate the Jews (the branches that were broken off so Gentiles could be grafted in) lest God also spare thee not and brake off your branch. 

     Brother Bob is an orthodox Jew that got saved and is no longer blind about Jesus. Brother Bob left everything (family, money, and all my relatives) because he believed Jesus is God. Right now if anyone is a Jew they will need to accept Jesus as their Lord to be saved. Just being Jewish will not save anyone. The rich man in the bible who went to hell for rejecting Jesus was a Jew because in hell he spoke to the Jews' father Abraham requesting Lazarus to save him from his torment in hell. And Korah was a Jew that went to the pit hell for rebelling against Moses. But the Jewish children of Korah (like Brother Bob) went to heaven and did not rebel with their daddy against Moses and God (Jesus). This is proven at Numbers 26:11 that says Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not. And note that Psalms 42-49 are dedicated to the blessed sons of Korah.

     Now if you're saved, you gotta love the Jews and Israel even though they are your enemies. Unsaved Jews can be stingy and irritating, but you gotta love them and Israel. Anyone that blesses Israel will be blessed and anyone that curses Israel will be cursed. Israel is God's blessed nation and eventually Israel will be the only blessed nation left standing with Jesus as it's king in Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 tells us Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee. 

     There's just something about Israel and the Jews that is blessed. It's a mystery that only one nation Israel has survived from the beginning of time. The Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman Empires have all disappeared. But the little nation of Israel (God's country) still survives today and will remain forever. Isaiah 60:11 speaks about Israel saying Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles and that their kings may be brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee (Israel with King Jesus) shall perish; yea those nations shall be utterly wasted. 

     Romans 11:28 tells us about the Jews saying As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes, but as touching the election they are blessed for the fathers' sake. It's a mystery that the Jews are enemies and blessed at the same time. Note that the Jews are blessed for their fathers' (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) sake (not for their Father God's sake). God made a covenant with the Jews' father Abraham that he would bless Israel and the Jews above all nations.

     When a Jew gets saved, like Brother Bob he is no longer stingy and blesses widows and orphans with money for rent, food, and clothes. My friend Amanda in my church told Brother Bob that Brother Bob was the most generous Jew she ever met. Usually most unsaved Jews know how to make money and are very stingy. Note the following Jewish jokes below: Hope they make you laugh with joy. Remember America is blessed because for many years America has blessed Israel and the Jews. 

1) Why did the Jews wander in the wilderness for 40 years
Somebody lost a quarter

2) Why do Jews have big noses
Air is free

3) What's a Jewish dilemma
A free ham sandwich 

4) What's the first three letters in the word jewelry (Jew)
This is why most Jews are in the jewelry business

5) When Pat Boone sang Peace In The Valley
10000 sinners joined the church
When Eddie Fisher sang There's a gold mine in the sky
10000 Jews joined the Air Force

6) A man told a Jew No Jews allowed in our village
The Jew replied That's why it's still a village

7) What's the favorite Jewish wine (whine)
Please take me to Miami

8)  After a Jew had a dream about horses with hats
He won money at the races after betting on Top Hat and Derby
But he lost his money on a horse he called Chateaux
His friend said you dummy hat in french is chapeaux not chateaux 
Anyway who won the last race you lost
The Jew replied a Japanese horse named Yarmulka


Fifth Mystery-Revelation 17:5 Mystery Babylon (Rome) the Great

     The fifth mystery of God is listed at Revelation 17:5 saying And upon her (the great whore's) forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. This mystery is described as a woman sitting on a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Note that Revelation 17:9 tells us that the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth. And then Revelation 17:18 tells us that the woman sitting on the beast is a great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 

     One might ask who is this woman (great city) sitting on seven mountains called mystery Babylon. Today literal Babylon does not sit on seven mountains. There is only one city in this world (Rome) that sits on seven mountains named Palatine, Capitoline, Quiranal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine. In history past, Rome not literal Babylon was guilty of the blood of saints and martyrs by wicked emperors like Nero. This is why Rome is called Mystery Babylon. And the future antichrist during the seven year tribulation will be a Syrian Jew having power like a Roman Vatican Pope who poses as God. 


Sixth Mystery-2 Thessalonians 2:6 The Mystery Of Iniquity-The Antichrist

     The sixth mystery of God is listed at 2 Thessalonians 2:6 saying And now ye know what withholdeth that he (the antichrist beast) 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. This antichrist mystery will soon be revealed after the church is raptured and caught up in the clouds to be with Jesus. Letteth in the scripture above means that the Holy Spirit in saved saints is holding back the appearance of the antichrist until the saved saints are taken out of the way in the rapture to be with Jesus. Then after the rapture the Wicked antichrist will be revealed. In other words, if you're saved don't look for the antichrist; look for the Christ to be caught up out of this world. Saved saints won't be on this earth during the seven year tribulation when the antichrist appears.

     Notice that 2 Thessalonians 2:3 describes this antichrist mystery of iniquity saying Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin (the antichrist) be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Kind of reminds us of the Pope who poses as God wanting everyone to worship him.

     Now notice that the antichrist is called the son of perdition. And isn't it amazing that Jesus called Judas Iscariot the son of perdition at John 17:12. And isn't it incredible that Revelation 17:8 tells us that the beast antichrist was, and is not, and yet is. Judas was on this earth, now Judas is not, but in the future the antichrist spirit of Judas Iscariot yet is as the son of perdition. Finally note that the word perdition means destruction. And the angel of the bottomless pit also has a name that means destruction called Abaddon and Apollyon and is the spirit of Judas the antichrist at Revelation 9:11. The antichrist comes up from the bottomless pit during the tribulation while King Jesus comes down to this earth from the glorious heaven on a white horse to place the beast antichrist and false prophet alive into the lake of fire.



Seventh Mystery-1 Corinthians 15:51 The Rapture Of The Church

     The seventh mystery of God is listed at 1 Corinthians 15:51 saying 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

     Everyone it's a mystery and I don't know the exact time that Jesus will return when the saints will be caught up to be with Jesus in peace forevermore in the clouds. But every day we should be looking for the soon coming return of our Lord Jesus to take us out of this wicked world. This is stated at Philippians 3:20 that says For our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.  And Matthew 24:44 tells us Therefore, be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. 

     The comforting words about the mystery rapture are stated at 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 that says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

     I pray that these seven mysteries of God have been a blessing to everyone as Brother Bob has been a faithful steward of the mysteries of God during this bible study. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.
