Question 281: What Did Our Saviour Mean When He Spoke Of “The Mystery Of The Kingdom”?
Answer:
The word "mystery," found in Mark 4:11, 12 as in certain other places in Scripture, is not used in the classical sense of religious secrets or things incomprehensible, but of things of purely divine revelation – matters foreshadowed in the ancient economy and then only partially understood, but now fully published under the Gospel (see 1 Corinthians 2:6, 10; Ephesians 3:3, 6, 8, 9). The mysteries of the Kingdom meant those great Gospel truths which at that time none but the disciples could appreciate and even they only in part, while to those without (whose hearts had not yet been opened to the Gospel) they were like tales and fables, subjects of entertainment rather than divine truths. Such persons saw but recognized not and heard but understood not, for their spiritual sight and understanding were judicially sealed by sin. From obdurate rejection of the Gospel and their obstinacy in preferring darkness to light, they had become morally incapable of acceptance and totally indifferent. (See prophecy of Isaiah 6-9, 10, then read contrasting passage in Matthew 13:16.)
2 Samuel 22:31, “The ways of God are without fault. The LORD’s words are pure. He is a shield to those who trust him.” People typically don’t offer their trust immediately. Have you ever tested how warm or cold the water is by dipping your toe in first? Learning to trust our Creator completely is difficult for some and it may be necessary for them to experience HIs compassion before they are able to offer that complete trust. This rarely happens unless they have others who have already learned to trust Him to be an example.

Part of trusting YHVH, is looking to the future with excitement, not worry and dread. We know that YHVH is going to work out everything for His good, and in that, joy is found.
Did anyone here get an upgraded account through their points? I feel like I'm asking a Frequent Flier question...
I was out back taking care of my chickens and gathering the eggs to bring them in the house. When I came in, a friend of ours was over visiting who we pulled out of a Sunday church and are teaching the Torah to. I said to her, I don't bring home the bacon but I bring home the eggs. LoL ?
At the end of three days the officers went through the camp...
Joshua 3:2
The Hebrews traveled for 3 days before crossing the red sea.
Three days after the Red Sea crossing, Moses transformed the bitter waters.
Joshua's spies hid in the hills for 3 days before returning to camp.
The Hebrews traveled 3 days from Shittim before crossing the Jordan.
It's almost like God is trying to say something about being restored to life after 3 days in the shadow of death. Hmm...
