THANK GOD for the Bible!


Eph 3:5 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;


Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Luk 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Luk 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.


Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Without the Bible, how could anyone understand that the “sacred secret which has been kept in silence for long-lasting times” (Rom 16:25, "mystery", King James Bible) did not simply involve an identification of God’s Son as such, but that it involved the role he was assigned in the framework of God’s foreordained purpose, and the revelation and execution of that purpose through Jesus Christ ? This purpose, so long a secret, was “for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth.”(Eph 1:9, 10)

Without the Bible, how is it possible to grasp the “sacred secret” that is bound up in Christ Jesus, has as one of its aspects his heading a new heavenly government; its membership to be formed of persons (Jews and non-Jews) taken from among earth’s population, and its domain is to embrace both heaven and earth ?

In the vision at Daniel 7:13, 14, one “like a son of man” (a title later applied frequently to Christ--Matt 12:40; 24:30; Luke 17:26; compare Re 14:14) appears in God’s heavenly courts and is given “rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him.”

The same vision at Daniel 7, however, shows that “the holy ones of the Supreme One” are also to share with this “son of man” in his Kingdom, rulership, and grandeur. (Dan 7:27) While Jesus was on earth, he selected from among his disciples the first prospective members of his Kingdom government and, after they had ‘stuck with him in his trials,’ covenanted with them for a Kingdom (Luke 22:28, 29), praying to his Father for their sanctification (or being made “holy ones”) and requesting that “where I am, they also may be with me, in order to behold my glory that you have given me.” (John 17:5, 17, 24)

Because of being thus united with Christ, the Christian congregation also plays a part in the “sacred secret,” as is later expressed by the inspired apostle Paul.(Eph 3:1-11; 5:32; Col 1:26, 2) Could this be discerned without the Bible ?
