Revealed and Not Revealed - The Secret Things

Revealed & Not Revealed, The Secret Things.

Years ago in my quest to understand the many mysteries of the world around me I discovered that we only know in part and understand in part our very dreams and visions are in part.

"Our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!" (NLT 1 Corinthians 13:9).

"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part." (KJV 1 Corinthians 13:9)

As young and zealous as I was I did not understand that God is an eternal being therefore his knowledge is infinite and eternal.

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29

There are still great mysteries concerning the Lord, the nature of things, and the future. One of the most important “secret” thing in these end times is the exact time of the second coming of Christ. Only the Father knows. While we don’t know when that will be, we are to always be ready (Mk 13:37).

However, "the things that are revealed"...

Inside the whole Bible is the timeline of the “things revealed.” We should take great care going outside of it for revelation. Even true prophetic knowledge must be tested by the Word of God in Scripture.

"...but the things that are revealed belong to us"...

Anything that God has ordained to “belong to us” is ours to steward. There is an abiding principle that God has included into the world that says each one must make the most of what he or she is given. This is good stewardship.

We will be judged on the great day according to this principle (Lk 19:11-27).

"...and to our children forever,”

We are responsible to pass on what God has revealed to our children, to “bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord” (Eph 6:4).

“...that we may follow all the words of this law.”

God desires obedience from us. When he reveals his will, he expects us to live accordingly.

My personal opinion is we are in a sinful and broken world as such God cannot give certain information yet.

"When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." (1 Corinthians 13:10)

that's why it was necessary to remove Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden quickly before they took and ate from the tree of Life in their sinful unredeemed state.

When Jesus Christ returns he will clarify much of the misconceptions and religious errors.

In the meantime study the parts we have to show thyself approved.
