Description

In ordinary speech a "mystery" implies knowledge withheld. In Scripture a "mystery" is truth that can be made known only by divine revelation at a time appointed by God and to those who are illumined by His Spirit. This book explains twelve mysteries in the Word of God:

• The Mystery of the Faith
• The Mystery of the Godhead of Christ
• The Mystery of Godliness
• The Mystery of the Gospel
• The Mystery of the Kingdom of God
• The Mystery of the Seven Stars and Lampstands
• The Mystery of the Transformation of the Bodies of the Saints at the Resurrection
• The Mystery of the Hardening of Israel
• The Mystery of Babylon
• The Mystery of Lawlessness
• The Mystery of God's Purpose in Judgment
• The Mystery of God's Will

In addition, this book contains a fascinating historical overview of "How the World was Prepared for the Gospel," which includes how God used the Nation of Israel, the ambition of Alexander the Great, and the domination of the Roman Empire to prepare the world for "the separation of men out of the world unto Christ, Whose kingdom is not of this world. ... Happy are they who by faith receive Him Whom the Gospel proclaims."

About the Author(s)

William Edwy Vine (1873-1949), commonly known as W. E. Vine, is considered one of the world's foremost Greek and biblical scholars. His Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words has been a bestselling classic, popular with generations of Bible scholars and students. Yet he wrote much more than the famous dictionary. His timeless biblical commentaries were marked by careful exegetical word study and expository insight.

W.E. Vine worked for Echoes of Service, an organization that supported missionaries around the world. At one time, he kept six secretaries busy corresponding with more than 1,000 missionaries.

"Mr. Vine shows," said F.F. Bruce, "how great a service can be rendered to the Church by well-balanced, all-around scholarship when it is combined with reverent submission to the Word of God and spiritual insight into its meaning.... The Scriptures' chief function is to bear witness of Christ, and the chief end of their study is to increase our inward knowledge of Him.... Mr. Vine, in all his study and writing, would not be content with any aim lower than this for himself and his readers alike."
