Whether one is churched or unchurched, searching, knocking, and asking are the first steps to wisdom. If your heart's motivation is right, revelation and inspiration will follow. One must knock at the door of wisdom. This door IS found in The Bible. One must seek the Spirit of Truth which is from this one true G-d and savior, Jesus Christ. The pathway that leads a seeker into the knowledge of the mysteries of G-d is through Jeshua, Jesus the Messiah. Disregard the detraction of Religion and Religious organizations. Such institutions can lead a seeker quickly into deception or dogma.

"G-d is a Spirit," the scripture explains. Things of heaven and G-d are mysteries since they consist of divine substance. Such can only be perceived, received and believed on a non-sensing, non academic level. If I say that I know G-d, whom you may have never known or seen, you can only judge my assertions on the basis of my personal credibility. Some who profess to be spokes-persons for G-d are more credible than others.

We know that the original apostles did not so much debate the existence of G-d as a philosophical notion or theory but demonstrated G-d's existence by supernatural attestations. They demonstrated the Power of G-d. (Read Paul's letter to Corinthians Chapter1 and 2). We continue to strive to persuade a materialistic non believing world that G-d is real and that He still has a part in the day to day affairs of this world and its occupants.

Progressive Revelation

There are those who argue against any concept of progressive revelation. They wish to see the essential truth of the word Interpreted and codified and made concrete for the use of future generations. But within these understanding which we call "doctrines" of faith there can be considerable variance as to the meanings of a particular passage. The response from the doctrinal watchdogs say these have been the teachings of the fathers and we stand upon our doctrines. These doctrines of course, are particular to any sect whether Catholic, Protestant, or the sub sects of protestantism and any non Christian sect.

The Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus was introduced at Pentecost 50 days after the passover (Jeshua's crucifixion fullfillment.) This was the launch point of the Spirit of Wisdom. The Holy Spirit gives understanding and wisdom latent within the Word. Jeshua is the "living word." The Holy Spirit brings revelation and understanding that is a spiritual substance and not just an "intellectual" understanding. This division between the two is in evidence in comparing those who read Scripture. Believers with the 'Holy Spirit Baptism' experience "The Rhema Word." Rhema refers to the proceeding voice of G-d which enlivens the Scripture and makes it speak to the present needs of any reader. The Spirit brings life and understanding. The letter of the Scripture, Jesus said, kills.

     Jesus gave this testamony of knowing the mysteries of G-d; " - - I know Him, I am from Him, He sent me. -"
(Jn 7:19) Indeed, not everyone was persuaded by His words. Likewise many today remain unpersuaded that Jeshua is the mediator between God and Man and speaks for G-d. I have learned to understand that G-d is a G-d of mysteries and hidden things. The parables taught by Jeshua (Jesus) had within them kernels of truth at varying levels; plain story-level truth and higher spiritual level revelation. There is and always has been that matter of hidden truth. To Christ's disciples it was given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of G-d while others received no more than a moral homily. G-d reveals himself to some and not to others.

Heaven and its mysteries are not laid bare for the vulgar to intrude upon. There are defining limits between darkness and heavenly light. I was always amazed that Bible truths and the realities of G-d were not presented to the world in neatly delineated, point by point, topics that might make the facts about G-d and Heaven's realities easy to comprehend. G-d seems to hide himself. He dwells in a secret place.

The unbeliever must set aside unbelief before he/she can make the first step of faith. Thus the key to unpacking and deciphering the Word of G-d can not be achieved strictly by academic skills and study alone. If that were true only the bookish could know G-d. The Divine Spirit, (Ruach ha Kadesh) called in King James vernacular called the Holy Ghost, is the one and only way to progress toward revelations and really knowing G-d. The Spirit of G-d always reveals and glorifies Jesus.

You may get a notion from my feeble attempts to explain such matters from my own studies and experience. Yet, without the Holy Spirit, the teacher and discipler of truth, one remains bound to the informational level. We are given understanding in the light of Jeshua (Jesus) in a line by line, precept upon precept, understanding that Jesus is 'the Word of G-d made flesh.' This is in Itself the greatest mystery. For when the Scripture is made known in its completeness we shall See Him as He IS.

The following chapters deal with the subject of Mysteries. I am placing them in no particular heirarchy of order. I will also not suggest that my thoughts on any topic here consists of any more than a faint glimmer of light upon an immensely deep understanding. I can do little more than introduce the topics of G-d's mysteries. These are but some of the mysteries there remains more.

Other teachers might be given more or a different set of understandings. It is God's purpose that many in the BODY begin to share what the Bible has brought to each of us in the most plain language. There are mysteries and mysteries within mysteries which will be revealed in due time. Revelation is progressive and ever deepening as His truth is being revealed by G-d's Holy Spirit in G-d's time.

G-d has withheld certain things from us (sealed from access ) because it is not yet His time to make them known. Contrary to what some would assert, we do not have all the answers (facts) as to Who G-d is and what His complete plan are for His Body, The Church. As G-d said to Daniel and to John in Revelations, go your way, these matters are to be 'sealed' and be revealed in another time.

EXAMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGING FORTH REVELATION
Matthew 16:16 But who say ye that I am? Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter, answers and says, "You are the Messiah, the son of the Living G-d." Jesus then tells Peter, "- - - Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. This is an example of how we receive knowledge of hidden things,
1Corinthians 2:0 - -"Eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man, the things which G-d has prepared for those that love him. 10: But G-d has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of G-d. 11. For man knows the things of a man, save the sprit of man which is in him? Even so the things of G-d, know man knows, but the Spirit of G-d.
