It is written in Rev. 10:7, โbut in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.โ
Once the seventh of the seven-fold trumpet is sounded, the โmystery of Godโ will be finished. What is this mystery of God? In the New Testament, the word โmysteryโ occurs a number of times. It means a secret which cannot be understood without Godโs revelation. It is not a secret that cannot be understood at all, but one that only God can reveal. The mysteries mentioned in the New Testament can basically be summed up under two heads:
(1) The mystery of godliness (1 Tim. 3:16); and
(2) The mystery of iniquity (2 Thess. 2:7).
The mystery of godliness is the truth. The mystery of iniquity is the lie.
The โmystery of godlinessโ can be divided into three parts.
(a) The first part of this mystery of godliness is mentioned in 1 Tim.3:16. In the previous verse, the church is called โthe pillar and support of the truthโ (v.15). Of which truth? The one mentioned in the next verse: โGreat is the mystery of godliness; Christ was manifest in the flesh and was pure in the spirit, beheld by the angels, proclaimed among the nations.โ The essential message here is that Jesus Christ came as a Man like us and was yet pure in His spirit. So we too need not sin. We can walk as He walked. (1 Jn.2:6). That is `the truthโ. The church is to be a pillar upholding this truth! But unfortunately, the church through the ages has not held up this truth.
(b) The second part of the mystery of godliness is mentioned in Eph.5:31, 32. 1 Tim. 3:16 referred to a great mystery. Here too we see a great mystery – the mystery of Christ and the church being one flesh. Jesus Christ has now got a bride (the church) – who also walks as He walked, keeping her spirit pure.
(c) The third part of the mystery is mentioned in 1 Cor. 15:51,52, where we are told how we will be transformed into the likeness of Christ in the twinkling of an eye, when Jesus comes and the last trumpet sounds.
Now we come to โthe mystery of iniquityโ (2 Thess.2:7)- which is basically that Satan also manifests himself in the flesh – finally as the Antichrist.
In verses 9-11, we read of Satan working through the spirit of the antichrist with lying signs and wonders and the deception of wickedness to deceive people. We also read of God sending a deluding influence upon those who donโt receive the love of the truth so as to be saved – โso that they might all believe THE LIEโ (v.11 – Literal).
What is the lie referred to here? It is the lie that Satan told Eve in the garden of Eden: โYou can sin and get away with it. God wonโt punish you.โ
That is the greatest lie that Satan has deceived the world with. Even many believers believe that lie of Satan!! The mystery of iniquity is that this lie has worked and worked and drawn many into deception. This culminates in false Christendom giving Satan a bride – Babylon! She also is called a mystery in Rev.17:5, just as the church is called a mystery.
The false church can be identified by this mark that it proclaims Satanโs lie that โyou can sin and God will not take it seriouslyโ.
