Which Were the Mysteries Revealed by the Opening of the 7 Seals?

Spiritual Building-Stone No. 162

St. Matthew 13:10-17,

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 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. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”

Revelation 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.”

Look! What was once God’s great secret, great mysterious secret in His mind, is now put in the hearts of the believer, that is the Body of Christ. What was God’s once great secret in His mind before the foundation of the world is now made manifest. Think of it! Oh, I’m sure we don’t get it. Well, I can’t see it the way I ought to, and I’m sure you don’t.

But God’s great mystery, what the Eternal God had as a mystery, has now been unfold in Jesus Christ, then was given out down to His Church. What was once in God’s mind is now in the Body of Christ. Jesus making love to the Church, His Bride, whispering secrets to Her. You know how you tell your wife things, you know – the little girl you’re going to marry. You love her so much, you just tell her the secrets and get her up next to you and love you and everything. You know how it is. That’s what God-Christ is doing to the Church. He’s letting Her know the secrets – just the secrets. Not these flirters; I mean His Wife. [1]

Now, sounding forth, this messenger, the seventh angel here, is sounding forth his message to the Laodicean church (Rev. 3:11). Notice his type of message. Now, it wasn't to the first angel (wasn't given that), second angel, third, fourth, fifth, sixth; but it is the seventh angel that had this type of message. What was it? Notice, his type of message: finishing all the mysteries of God that are written in the Book. The seventh angel is winding up all the mysteries that's lain loose-ended, all out through these organizations and denominations. The seventh angel gathers them up and finishes the entire mystery. That's what the Bible said: finishes the mystery of the written Book. And the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7 is the seventh church-age-messenger. [2]

Notice the very day when this messenger, not when he starts on the, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. There's no more higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the Word. And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place that Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did when Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to impersonate it. Just exactly right. Now, you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See? Anointed ones. [3]

Now this messenger of Malachi 4 (3:23-24) and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. [4]

But in the last days it'll have to be a prophet to take up the mysteries of God, bring it back, because the mysteries was only known by prophets (Amos 3:7). So it has to be this fellow come. See what I mean now? He can't be a reformer; it's got to be a prophet, because it's got to be somebody that's gifted and set there that catches the Word.

Now, them reformers knowed there was something wrong. Luther knowed that the bread wasn't the body of Christ etc., and so he preached, "The just shall live by faith," (Rom. 1:17) and that was his message.

And when John Wesley come along, he saw that there was sanctification, so he preached sanctification (Heb. 10:10,14; Heb. 12:14). That was his message.

The Pentecostals brought in the message of the Holy Ghost and so forth (Isaiah 28:11-12; Acts 2:1-21). But in the last days in this last age the messenger is not to start any reformation, but is to take all the mysteries that those reformers left off, and gather them together, and solve them to the people. [5]

What did He do? He opened up the Seven Seals of the last message. Did you notice that? The Seven Seals, which all the mysteries of the Seven Church Ages were sealed with Seven Seals. The reformers didn't have time to do it in their days. They didn't live long enough. But this blessed revelation of the Seven Seals is opened to us in this last days from a prophecy that went forth to Arizona. [6]

The magazines pack it, show the picture of it. Come back here and see those great mysteries hidden in the Bible, opened up to us on a new field that we never knowed before, and perfectly blends in to the coming of the Lord Jesus. [7]

Oh, brother, sister, are you catching it? Look. Don't you see? It's been veiled through these ages according to what God said, and It would be opened in the last days; those seven seals would be broke, and the full thing would come into view of the people, what's took place all along. The hour of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God should be made known in that Elijah, in this last hour: how that Christ is put out of His church as Son of God; how He's revealed as Son of man again; how that the church is to be put in order, and everything for the last day, and no creed, no denominations, just absolutely the Word living in the individual. "I'll take one and leave one. I'll take this one and leave that one." There's no strings, no denominations, no bindings or nothing; it's the heart with God and Him alone. [8]

Now, let's note a few of these mysteries. And if you want to, write them down. First, I'll take what Scofield says here in Matthew 13:

St.Matthew 13:11,

“He answered and said unto them, Because it's given to you... (his disciples)... to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” (The mysteries)

Here's the mystery: A "mystery" is Scripture--is "a previously hidden truth, now Divinely revealed, but which is a supernatural element still remains despite the revelation." The greater mysteries and the great mysteries are:

1) The mystery of the Kingdom of heaven. That's the one we are talking on now,... Matthew 13:3-15.

2) Now, 2nd mystery is the mystery of Israel's blindness during this age: Romans 11:25 with the context.

3) 3rd mystery is the mystery of the translation of the living saints at the end time of this age: I Corinthians 15:51-58 and also I Thessalonians 4:14-17.

4) The 4th mystery, of the New Testament church as One Body, composed of both Jews and Gentiles: Ephesians 2:11-22, 3:1-11, Romans 16:25-27, and also Ephesians 6:19, Colossians 4:3.

5) The 5th mystery is of the church, as the Bride of Christ: Ephesians 5:22-33.

6) 6th mystery is of the living Christ, same yesterday, today and forever: Galatians 2:19-21, and Hebrews 13:8, many places like that.

7) The 7th mystery is of God, even Christ, as the incarnate Fullness of the Godhead embodied, in Whom all Divine wisdom and godliness is restored to man (Col. 1:27-29; 2:1-3.9; John 1:1-3.14-18; I Tim. 3:16; Col. 2:9-10; II Cor. 5:19).

8) The serpent's seed, that's been a hidden mystery all through the years (Genesis 3:1-19; II Corinthians 11:1-3; Matt. 13:24-30.36-39; Matt. 15:13; I John 3:10-12).

9) 9th mystery is the mystery of iniquity found in II Thessalonians 2:7-12 and so forth.

10) The 10th mystery is of the seven stars of Revelation 1:20. The seven stars are the seven churches, the seven messengers, and so forth.

11) And the 11th mystery is mystery Babylon, the prostitute: Revelations 17:1-18 and 18:1-10. That's some of the mysteries that this angel is supposed to wind up, all the mystery--all the mysteries of God... May I say this with reverence, and not referring to myself, but referring to the Angel of God.

12) The grace straightened out, not disgrace, but real true grace.

No such a thing as an eternal burning hell. You'll burn for millions of years, but anything that was eternal had never beginning or end, and hell was created (Rev. 19:20; 20:12-15).

13) All these mysteries as the false and the real anointed ones (Matt. 24:24; Matt. 5:45; Matt. 7:15-23).

14) The mystery of the baptism of the Holy Ghost without sensation, but the Person of Christ performing in you the same works that He did (Eph. 1:13-14; Acts 10:44-46).

15) The mystery of water baptism (Acts 2:38-41), where the extreme trinitarianism has brought it into titles of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and the mystery of the Godhead being fulfilled in the baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ according to the Book of the Revelations, that the church in this time was to receive. There's some of the mysteries.

16) The Pillar of Fire returning back (Acts 22:6-11). That's the thing that is supposed to take place, and we see it.

Oh, how we could go on naming the mysteries. Seeing that Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel, the same one that struck down Saul on his road down to Damascus (Acts 9:1-8). And the same One, coming with the same power, doing the same things, and revealing the same Word, staying word by word with the Bible. [2]

Here some more mysteries revealed:

29) the transformation of the Bride today (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:20-24),

30) the three kinds of dwelling places: earthly body, heavenly body (theophany), glorified resurrected body (II Cor. 5:1-5; Phil. 3:20-21),

31) meaning of: being justified – never done (Rom. 8:1-2),

37) the mystery of the seven seals and the four horse-riders (Rev. 6:1-17; 8:1-5),

God hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent and promised to reveal it to the sons of God in the last days, when the sons of God would be made manifest (Rom. 8:18-23). When God's sons that rejoiced with Him before the foundation of the world (Job 38:1-7), when the great revelation of the Godhead and things would be brought down in the last days, He would manifest these things to the sons of God. You know the Scripture teaches that. And here we are.

That's the reason that God is opening these things to us. God is bringing His sons into manifestation. He's going beyond the limitations of any human knowledge, way into the spiritual revelations and bringing it down.

Haven't we been teaching in this Bible, "Here's to him that has wisdom." Not what he learned in some seminary, but what he can learn on his knees before God, and what pleased God to give him: sons of God made manifest (Matt. 11:25-27). [9]

The mysteries were in the Seven Seals.

When these Seven Seals was opened, that opened up the entire Bible. The Seven Seals, it was sealed with Seven Mysteries. And in these Seven Seals, held the entire mystery of it, and it was the Book of Redemption. [10]

His Word was bread. It was the perfect manna, which, if a man lives by, he shall never die. But right after the death of the fathers, no one seemed to know the exact truth and in a short while this manna seemed to have become hidden to the people. But in every age God began to give back by revelation that which was hidden until in this last day according to Revelation 10:7, a prophet will come and reveal all the mysteries and then the Lord will come. Now in each age, I say, the messengers received hidden truth. But they did not receive it for themselves only. But it is as it was when the disciples were asked to serve the multitudes loaves and fishes; Jesus gave them the broken food, but they in turn gave it to the people. God gives His hidden manna to the overcomer (Rev. 2:17). It cannot be otherwise. He would not open His treasures to those who spurn what is already revealed. [11]

Let's go in the Name of Jesus Christ, with a banner lifted high, and with faith in His Word to handle the two-edged Sword, with the shield and the full armor of God on to meet the enemy, because he's getting stronger and more powerful every day. As the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises up a standard against him. If we have come to the end of these things that we--and the mysteries of God has been completed with us, we are looking for more strength, a rapturing strength to meet a worse force, that'll rapture the Church and take it into glory. We must have it. Let's meet this coming year with a challenge, that we are the servants of the living God. And like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of old, we'll not bow to the devils of this world and take back this thing that what we've talked about, but let's press the battle. [12]

I pray, Father, that they'll realize it isn't trying to condemn what they had; it's only trying to give them more rapturing grace. For the hour will come when we'll have to have rapture power, not only to heal the body but to change it in a moment in a twinkling of an eye. Christ will be so real into their bodies, till He can change it by His great death and what He purchased. May they take this today, that Token that I spoke of last night, hold It before them and walk into this Astronaut (Grant it, Father.), where visions, powers, and worlds beyond, known, and, O God, where all the great mysteries of God is unfolded in those Seven Seals and made known to men. Grant it, Father. [13]
