Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb μυέω (mueō), meaning "to initiate into the mysteries," which is related to the idea of being instructed or initiated into secret knowledge.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek term "mystērion," the concept of divine secrets or hidden things can be related to Hebrew words such as סוֹד (sod, Strong's Hebrew 5475), which means "counsel" or "secret," often used in the context of God's intimate counsel or plans revealed to His prophets.

Usage: The term "mystērion" is used in the New Testament to describe the hidden wisdom of God, which is now disclosed to believers. It is often associated with the revelation of the Gospel, the inclusion of the Gentiles, and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

Context: The concept of "mystērion" in the New Testament is rich and multifaceted. It signifies truths that were once concealed but have been made known through divine revelation. In the context of the early Christian community, these mysteries were not esoteric secrets for a select few but were proclaimed openly to all who would receive them by faith.

The Apostle Paul frequently uses the term to describe the Gospel itself, which was hidden in ages past but is now revealed in Christ. For instance, in Ephesians 3:3-6, Paul speaks of the mystery made known to him by revelation, specifically the inclusion of the Gentiles as co-heirs with Israel. Similarly, in Colossians 1:26-27, the mystery is described as "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

The mysteries of God also encompass the profound truths of the Kingdom of God, the nature of the Church as the body of Christ, and the ultimate consummation of God's plan in the end times. These mysteries are not fully comprehensible by human wisdom but are understood through the Spirit's illumination.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term "mystery" is used to convey the depth and richness of God's wisdom and the unfolding of His redemptive purposes. Believers are called to be stewards of these mysteries, faithfully proclaiming the Gospel and living in light of the truths revealed in Christ.
