According to this there are 7 mysteries revealed to Paul.
So I'm copying here, not plagerism..
The Seven Mysteries Revealed to Paul
All right, the first mystery is the mystery of the incarnation. That’s
First Timothy 3:16 –
First Timothy 3:16. That’s the mystery of the incarnation. This is the text: "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
That’s the mystery of what I’d call "the full gospel, the whole gospel" – the mystery of the coming of the Son of God in the flesh: "manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels . . ." [
1 Timothy 3:16].
All right, all right, the second mystery revealed to the apostle Paul:
Colossians 1:25-28,
Colossians 1:25-28. This is the mystery of the indwelling Christ.
Colossians 1:25:
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God;
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to the saints:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man
teleios in Christ Jesus.
All right, the third mystery: the third mystery is the mystery of the church –
Ephesians 3:1-10. And I will take no further time on that because the last two services, I have spoken on that passage. The mystery of the church – Ephesians [3:]1-10:
How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery . . .
Whereby, when ye read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, but is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
Namely, that the Gentiles and the Jews were to be together in a church, an organism called the church [
Ephesians 3:6] – a thing that was hid from the old prophets and the old seers. And they never saw it this long distance of time between the sufferings of Christ and the glory of Christ and the dispensation of grace in between – what we call the church age.
All right, the fourth mystery – – and I hastily go over this one. I’ve spoken of it before. The fourth mystery is the mystery of the blindness of Israel, and that is discussed in the eleventh chapter of the Book of Romans. And I read just a verse: 25 and 26.
Romans 11:25-26 – the mystery of the blindness of Israel.
I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
But when that day comes, when that day comes, all Israel shall be saved.
All right, now the fifth one: the fifth mystery is the mystery of the translation of the church. When that final day comes, when the last one is added to the body of Christ, the fifth mystery is the mystery of the translation of the church. That’s
First Corinthians 15:50-58. First Corinthians, fifteenth chapter, 50 to 58: this is the mystery of the translation of the church. You call it "the rapture" of the church.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep –
we’re not all going to die –
but we shall all be changed –
transfigured, translated –
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.
Let’s go to the sixth one real quick. The sixth mystery is the revelation of the antichrist – the mystery of iniquity. In the second chapter of the second Thessalonian letter,
Second Thessalonians 2:1-9, that’s the sixth mystery:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto Him
That ye be not soon shaken or troubled –
Let no man deceive you . . . that day will not come, except –
when there is a great falling away, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitting in a temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Now the last one, real quick like. The seventh mystery is the mystery of the bride of Christ – the bride of Christ, the church – the bride of Christ. Now that’s in
Ephesians 5:22-32. Ephesians 5, verse 22 to 32: "Wives," then he speaks of the wife and her husband, "As the husband is the head of the wife, so Christ is the head of the church. Husbands, as Christ loved the church, gave Himself for it" [from
Ephesians 5:22-25] and so on.
I was listening to the book of Jasher last night. What do you think of that book?
