The Mystery of God’s Plan Revealed . . .
The Old Testament/Old Covenant is the New Testament/New Covenant concealed; The New Testament/New Covenant is the Old Testament/Old Covenant revealed.
- “Having made known unto us the mystery of (God’s) will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself . . . . 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 (of God).” Ephesians 1:9; 3:5 (KJV)
Reference to the previously concealed and presently revealed throughout the Holy Bible is the only begotten Son of God – Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing – the Alpha and the Omega – the First and the Last – the Beginning and the End – the Root – the bright Morning Star – Emmanuel – King of kings and Lord of lords – the First-born of the dead – the Faithful Witness – the Precious Lamb of God – the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth – the Redeemer – the Ever-Living One – Lord – Savior – the Narrow Gate – the Vine – the Resurrection and the Life – Messiah – Christ – the Chief Shepherd – the Living Word – the Word of Life – Lion of the tribe of Judah – the Healer – the Cornerstone – Son of Man . . . .
Though the first coming of the Lord Jesus was concealed in the Old Testament/Old Covenant, the true Prophets of the LORD God relayed their visions and/or dreams given by the Holy Spirit:
- “For high in the sky above them was what looked like a throne made of beautiful blue sapphire stones, and upon it sat someone who appeared to be a Man. From his waist up, he seemed to be of glowing bronze, dazzling like fire; and from his waist down he seemed to be entirely flame, and there was a glowing halo like a rainbow all around him. That was the way the glory of the Lord appeared to me. . . .” Ezekiel 1:26-28 (TLB)
(Including but not limited to), the Lord Jesus was concealed in – Psalm 8:1-6 & 110:1-4; Isaiah 7:14 & 9:6 & 11:1-5 & 35:1-6 & 42:5-7 & 49:2,6 & 52:13 & 53:2-12 & 54:13-15 & 59:16-17 & 63:8-9; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Daniel 7:13-14.
The first coming of the Lord Jesus is revealed in the New Testament/New Covenant by the first Apostles chosen by the Lord Jesus as well as Paul after his conversion (read – Acts 9:1-19).
- “Then I turned to see [whose was] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of Man clothed with a robe which eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire. [Dan. 7:9.] His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters [Dan. 10:6.] In His right hand were seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power of midday. [Exod. 34:29.]” Revelation 1:12-16 (AMPC)
- “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son. Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” John 1:14 (MSG)
(Including but not limited to), the Lord Jesus is revealed in – Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-33 & 2:21; John 1:1-5, 9, 14; Acts 4:12; Titus 3:4-7; Hebrews 1-4 & 2:6-8, 11, 14-16; 1 Peter 1:10-12 & 2:6-8 & 5:4; 1 John 1:1-2 & 5:6-8; Revelation 5:6-14.
By revelation of the information in the Word of God through the Teaching of the Holy Spirit, we may know that every first is only of YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD).
- “And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” Genesis 8:12-13 (NIV)
GOD is LOVE personified (read 1 John 4:8, 16; Galatians 5:22-23). The originality of satan is specific to malevolence and the things thereof (i.e., hate, lies, malfeasance, maladies, etc.); the devil is neither capable of love nor produce the fruit thereof. The God-kind of faith is powered or operated by the God-kind of love – divine love – agape.
