Bible Question: What is the exact meaning of the phrase "mystery of God" in Chapter 10 of the Book of Revelation? |
Bible Answer: John Gmuer As this man has studied for far longer than I could ever hope to see if you like this; John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, page 2012, par. 3 The Mystery. A Greek term meaning "to shut" or "to close". In the NT, a "mystery" is a truth that God concealed, but has revealed through Christ and His apostles (see notes on Eph. 3:4, 5; cf. Rom. 16;25). Here the mystery is the final consumation of all things as God destroys sinners and establishes He righteous kingdom o nearth. as He declared. This mystery, though not fully revealed, was declared to God's prophets (cf. Amos 3:7). I heard it taught once not to divorce the word mystery from the words is finished in the same verse. This makes it mean that the mystery is the finising of the things of God, as in the end times completion of His plans to end the world as it is and set up His eternal kingdom. In this sense the mystery means that in the seventh angel sounding it is signifying that the completion of God's plans is at hand, and as God's will is decided beforehand, the beginnnig of whatever He has decided will happened all ready contains its end. So the angel sounding the trumpet is signifying God's plan as finished, finito. peacebestill |
