SINCE . . . "the time that sin began in man"
Matthew 13:35 � "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, �I will open My mouth in parables'; I will utter things which have been kept secret FROM the foundation of the world."Secrets were kept FROM (SINCE) the time of this event. What is it that was "kept secret FROM (SINCE) the foundation of the world"? Romans 16:25 � "Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of YahShua Mashiach, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret SINCE the world began." Colossians 1:26 � "The mystery which has been hid FROM ages and FROM generations, but now is made manifest to His saints" Ephesians 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" Ephesians 3:9 � "And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which FROM the beginning of the world has been hid in Elohim" 1 Corinthians 2:7 � "But we speak the wisdom of Elohim in a mystery, the hidden, which Elohim ordained BEFORE the world unto our glory" The words "world" and "ages" in these five verses are all from the same root words. They refer to periods of time, just like "the �time� that sin began in man". There was a mystery kept through plural ages � the age, or perhaps ages, before "the �time� that sin began in man" and the age of "the �time� that sin began in man". However, Paul is writing over and over that this is no longer a mystery. He writes of revelation. The revelation of the mystery is "without controversy GREAT"! There is no argument, it is without controversy, the greatness of this revelation: The Eternal "Elohim was manifest in the flesh" (I Timothy 3:16)!!! YAH SHUA was in fact the YAH who SAVES as HIS NAME STATES. "For in Him dwells all the fullness of Deity bodily" (Col. 2:9) SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! The great Logos (Plan, Thought, Idea) of Yah Veh Elohim was to be a flesh-veil of Yah Veh Elohim HIMSELF!!!! SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! Examine closely the temptation of YahShua in the desert. Why would Satan waste his time attempting to tempt a "2nd" deity, whether separate from the first or unified "as one" with the first? Scripture is filled with references to all things being created by Mashiach YahShua. If He was pre-existent as a being, Satan was there and would have known. Why would Satan offer to "give" "all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them" in exchange for worshipping him, to the very creator to whom they belonged anyway? SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! Satan believed YahShua to be "sent from the Father" as His agent only. That is why Satan tried to kill YahShua as an infant. Satan did not know this was Yah Veh Elohim HIMSELF in flesh-veil!!!! Look carefully at the answer of YahShua to Satan in chapters 4 of both Matthew and Luke: "it is written: �You shall worship Yah Veh your Elohim�, and Him only shall you serve." NOTICE VERY CAREFULLY WHERE I PLACED THE QUOTATION MARKS TO SIGNIFY WHAT "IS WRITTEN"! The quotation of YahShua "is written" twice only in 6:13 and 10:20 of Deuteronomy. It is not "written" anywhere else! It also never says "Him only shall you serve". This was added commentary for clarification. There is no other deity to worship or serve but ONE. The very Deity Himself was standing before Satan and declaring this in a wry bit of humor, an inside joke on Satan. SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! Satan repeatedly instigated men to try to kill YahShua. Yet YahShua said "I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." (John 10:17-18) Still Satan repeatedly instigated men to try to kill YahShua. Satan didn�t get it. SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! Return again to 1 Corinthians 2:7: "But we speak the wisdom of Elohim in a mystery, the hidden, which Elohim ordained BEFORE the world unto our glory". Paul writes of revelation of "the wisdom of Elohim in a mystery" as he continues in verse 8: "Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory!" SATAN DIDN�T KNOW! Satan is the god of this world age, and the prince of the power of the air. The princes of this world age are his and they do his bidding. They didn�t know because he didn�t know. |
