The Secret of the Lord – Understanding God’s Mysteries in the Last Days Part 1

Brother Scott Mitchell begins a foundational series on The Secret of the Lord, revealing the spiritual truths God has reserved for those who fear Him. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, Scott explains that “the secret” is not hidden knowledge for a select few but divine counsel shared with the faithful.
In this first message, he addresses Jesus’ warning about end-time deception, Paul’s prophecy of a falling away, and the growing rejection of Pauline doctrine in the modern church. Through passages in Psalms, Proverbs, Amos, and 1 Corinthians, Scott shows how understanding the mysteries of God protects believers from apostasy and strengthens their faith in Christ’s finished work.

Scripture References
Psalm 25:14 • Psalm 25:1–5 • Psalm 12:6–7 • Proverbs 3:32 • Amos 3:7 • Deuteronomy 29:29 • 2 Timothy 2:7 • 1 Timothy 2:5–7 • 1 Corinthians 2:7–15 • 1 Corinthians 4:1 • Daniel 2:22 • Matthew 13:34–35 • Romans 16:25–26 • Proverbs 25:2

Key Points
End-Time Deception: Jesus’ first warning in Matthew 24 was against deception — a sign that truth would be distorted in the last days.

The Departing from the Faith: Paul’s prophecy of apostasy is unfolding as sound doctrine is replaced with heresy and self-willed interpretations.

The Meaning of “Secret”: In Hebrew (sode), it refers to intimate counsel with God — fellowship with the righteous who fear Him.

The Mystery Revealed: In Greek (musterion), it signifies divine truths hidden from unbelievers but revealed to the faithful through the Holy Spirit.

Paul’s Distinct Revelation: God revealed to Paul the hidden wisdom concerning salvation by grace through faith, distinct from Israel’s national program.

Rightly Dividing the Word: Understanding this distinction prevents confusion and strengthens believers in sound doctrine.

Faith in the Finished Work of Christ: Today’s salvation is not tied to Israel’s covenant but to the revealed mystery of grace through Christ Jesus.

Key Quotes
“The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will shew them His covenant.” — Psalm 25:14

Takeaway
To withstand deception, believers must seek spiritual understanding through the Scriptures, allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal the mysteries of God. The Secret of the Lord is not a code to decipher but a relationship of trust and revelation with the living God.
