The Sacred Secret!
(Written: June, 2015)

Summary: The "Sacred Secret of God" is the sum total of the knowledge
wrapped up in, and/or brought us by, Jesus Christ! (John 15:11‑15)

The "Sacred Secret of God" is referred to by different phrases in the Bible. Another way it can be thought of is "The Good News of the Kingdom." (Mat 4:23; 1 Tim 1:9-17) My hope is, after you consider the scriptures presented here, you will understand what that "secret" is... It's really not difficult for those sincerely seeking the truth! But, you must be looking. (2 Cor 4:3-6) Here, then, are some scriptural references to that "Sacred Secret" you should be familiar with. The first was made by Jesus Christ and the second by the Apostle Paul:
What, then, is that "secret" of God, and how is it a help to both Gentiles and Jews? What caused (or illuminated) the stubbornness mentioned among the Jews there in Rom 11:25? Their stubbornness was manifest in their attitude [as a nation] toward Jesus as the Son God, sent to teach them a new way of worship [or to amend their old one]. (John 4:23; John 3:19) Jesus taught them they were responsible to learn to worship God as individuals, rather than as part of a group; (John 4:14-26) with the associated "group" responsibility. [The way the whole nation was responsible when Achan sinned.(Joshua 7:4-26)] Those ancient Jews didn't want to listen to Jesus, however. Instead, they wanted to cling to their former way of worship. (Luke 3:7-9; John 8:31-47) So, if we are Jews, and/or, if we are among people who assert they are Christian, we need to be cautious we are not clinging to our "religion" in the same way those ancient Jews did. (Please note religion is very different from Christianity.)

The revelation of the Sacred Secret, the secret about the proper way to worship God, was and is given and must be received from Jesus Christ alone:

Even after learning the "secret" is being, and must be, taught us by Christ, we must still put forth effort to understand what it is and how to take advantage of it! How can we learn to do that? How can we truly believe in God's Sacred Secret? We should begin by noting, in addition to being a promise of יהוה, the hope has been with us since the beginning; given while our first parents were still dying [after they had sinned] in the garden of Eden. (Note:   is God's personal name as given to us in the Hebrew language of the original Old Testament text.) Geneses records that Adam and Eve had sinned against God and brought the resultant death upon themselves, and, on all of us as their unborn children. (Rom 5:12) [Please consider Genesis chapters 1-3 - Diseased or genetically defective people cannot give birth to healthy children. In similar fashion, we were all born sinful, the same as Adam and Eve had rebelliously remade themselves; no longer the perfect creatures God had made.] At the same time God pronounced judgment on Adam and Eve and Satan, He also promised a blessing upon all the righteously inclined persons among Adam's (and Eve's) future children. That promise gave birth to, or is our first glimpse of, the Sacred Secret of God. That secrets revelation has been unfolding ever since. As said above, however: You must be sincerely looking. That must include your avoiding being deceived by false religion, by the manychurches of this world; by those who actually exist only to deceive. (2 Cor 4:3-6; Mat 7:15) Your protection: Just really listen to Christ. (Mat 17:5) Jesus is, and/or contains, the Good News of the Kingdom! (John 6:63; John 18:37; John 5:24; Rev 19:13) That "Good News" is God's secret, and, it is hidden from or is a secret only to those who do not want to see. (2 Cor 4:3-6) Consider our first glimpse, then, of the Sacred Secret:

The good promise God there uttered (at the same time he gave his judgment on Adam and Eve's disobedience), was that at some future day one of the woman's seed (one of her descendant's) would crush Satan's head. That "promised future deliverer" was and is the foundation of the Sacred Secret of God. (You will note this translation of the Bible [Good News Bible], along with several others, used "LORD" to replace 's personal name. They stated they had used "LORD" in all capitol letters to let us recognize everywhere they had replaced  יהוה 's  personal Hebrew Name, when translating the Old Testament [OT] from Hebrew. Some other translations replaced  יהוה with several hundred year old attempts to translate the Divine Name into English as "Jehovah" or "Yahweh." [Exo 6:3] Some apparently replaced the Divine Name because of a superstitious fear that developed against pronouncing God's personal Name. I have come to fear whether using either LORD, or any attempt to translate the Divine Name into English [or any other language], is acceptable to  יהוה . [Lev 24:16] My concern is because the translation of his Diving Name into any other language was not inspired by God, as the original Bible use of his Name in Hebrew was. [2 Tim 3:16-17] Whether you should use an attempted translation of his Divine Name into another language does seem something you should seriously question! [Exo 20:7] A sensible solution would have been to simply carry that Hebrew name over into any English text; as is done herein.
    This is important: English speakers should every one learn to recognize and pronounce 's Hebrew name. [Rom 10:13-15] The Divine Name is written from right to left and its letters are pronounced Yod ( י ) He ( ה ) Vav ( ו ) He ( ה ). Since God had his name recorded over 6000 times in the original Old Testament text, it is clear He wanted his name known. His son Jesus believed that as well. Jesus brought glory to his Father's Name at all times, including his prayers:
  • John 17:25-26 MWT 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you; but I have come to know you, and these [his followers] have come to know that you sent me forth. 26 And I have made your name [  ] known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”

Our first glimpse of the Sacred Secret, then, was that promise in Genesis 3:15 that a seed of the woman would undo what Satan and Adam and Eve had done (in bringing death to us all). (John 3:8b) Ever since that promise, all creation has been waiting (Rom 8:22) to see how God would cause that to become, and, who “the seed of the woman” would prove to be. Four thousand years after that promise made in the Garden, Jesus Christ presented himself as that “seed” of promise. (Heb 10:1 & 5-10) He thus referred to himself, and is noted in the Bible as, the “son of man”; the seed of the woman. (John 5:27) He came to peel back the lies Satan used to besmirch  his  "our" Father, (John 18:37b) and to reveal and teach each of us who יהוה really is. (Mat 11:25-30) The “Sacred Secret,” therefore, amounts to the sum total of all the knowledge revealed in and by Jesus Christ. You could not (no one could) understand the secret until it was  יהוה ’s  time for it to be fully revealed. That knowledge is "our" revelation. It is important for you to understand: The time for that revelation has arrived! Jesus is working with those in the earth who love him, (Mark 3:31-35) so as to help every righteously inclined person understand their part in the unfolding of the Sacred Secret. (John 14:15-21) You must simply understand it for yourself, and then, if you want to benefit yourself, (Isa 48:17) help others to understand. (Rom 10:9-10) Print this webpage and give it to everyone you know. You don't have to preach "at" them, just ask their opinion about these scriptures...

That summarizes "the Sacred Secret of God"! These presented scriptures should help you realize and understand God's Sacred Secret is revealed in the words of Jesus Christ... What these scriptures present is true because it has to be true! For any hope to exist, it must be a hope in good. We see from living among men, for good to exist, there has to be a cause for good, and, one to maintain and enforce its existence. Assuming that basic truth, the Sacred Secret of God is the only possible explanation and hope.

If you would like to consider some additional scriptures explaning the Sacred Secret, please continue: We learned a great deal more about the secret from a second promise by God, this one made to Abraham about 2000 years after the promise in Eden, and nearly 2000 years before Christ appeared. This second promise was that Eve's saving descendant would come through the line of Abraham (the father of the Jewish nation). The ancient Jewish nation was used by God for a period of time, both as his representatives in the earth (John 4:19-23) and  probably  more importantly, to produce the promised “seed of the woman”: Jesus was born a Jew. (Mat 1:1) This additional messianic promise, this one to Abraham, was that by means of Abraham's seed all nations of the earth would bless themselves. (Gen 22:15-18) Those listening to God (those putting faith in the Bible) knew from that promise to expect the Messiah promised Eve and Adam to appear among Abraham's descendants. They now knew from God's word, that the promised deliverer would be a descendant of King David. (1 Chron 17:7-14) Just as God's word promised, Jesus was born from that Jewish nation through Abraham, and then through David (who descended from Abraham about 1000 years after Abraham lived). (Mat 1:1) More of the secret was thus revealed. A little over 500 years before Jesus was born, mankind knew (again from the Bible) that the revelation of the secret would include the reestablishment of the kingdom of David. (Luke 1:32-33)

At the time God's ancient nation of Israel was destroyed and many of the survivors became captives in Babylon (because of their own badness), God's prophet Daniel realized from reading Bible prophecy that the Jews would be repatriated to their homeland in 537 BCE (that all took place in Daniel's day and a little over 2500 years ago). While Daniel did figure out when his nation would return to their homeland, he also wrongly believed God would reestablish his kingdom over the earth at that time. Daniel was right in understanding Bible prophecy (a part of God's Secret) about the Jews being freed from Babylon to return to Jerusalem, but he misunderstood about God's kingdom being reestablished in his day. Daniel's efforts allowed mankind to know a little more about the sacred secret, but it still wasn't fully revealed. It was not God's time. When Jesus presented himself as the Messiah about 500 years after Daniel, he revealed the Secret of God to his followers, (Acts 2:36) but it still took many years for mankind to really understand what he had said. We are only now doing so. All during that time, Jesus has been making preparation for his return as king of God's kingdom. That brings us to our day in time and to the question we should all be concerned with: When is Christ's Kingdom being revealed? His disciples did ask Jesus that very question: They wanted to know when Jesus was going to reestablish God’s kingdom over the earth and remove the old world system. They realized the answer to that question was also the final revelation of the Sacred Secret of God. Jesus answered them: Did you note Jesus said (Mat 24:14) the last thing to happen in this dying world system was that everyone would hear the “Good News about the Kingdom”? That “Good News” is the “sacred secret” of God! And, it's what you are hearing right now. Understanding the Sacred Secret revealed by God apportions it to you, and to me, to shed light (Mat 5:14-16) in this bedarkened world, by telling everyone what is happening to them and why. (1 Cor 15:34) Tell God's "Sacred Secret" to everyone who will listen. Tell the “Good News about the Kingdom” to everyone who will listen! That is not hard. All it requires of you is to encourage them to listen to Christ as you carefully explain they can only be certain they are doing that by reading his words for themselves. The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are your only source of the words of Christ! (Mark 9:7; John 6:63b) Direct people to this website as a way to encourage them to Christ. And remember: Jesus didn't say everyone would accept the "Good News." What he did say was "everyone" would hear. The tribulation is forcing everyone alive to hear! The more people told the truth, whether or not they use that knowledge to choose life by becomming subjects of Christ's kingdom, the closer we still are to paradise restored. (Is 60:22 - God is "speeding up the time of the end" by the act of making known and understood his "Sacred Secret." He is now offering you the opportunity to help him accomplish that! - Rom 10:9-10)

To summarize the Sacred Secret of God, there are four things every person alive needs to be helped to know:

From the warning Jesus gave about false prophets who would claim to be him, or claim to represent him, you should by now realize something else about religion: It is not just those religions that fly planes into skyscrapers to blow up women and children, and whose religion has no connection to Jesus Christ, (Acts 4:12) that are bad. Those who claim to be Christian must be tested to verify they really are. How can you test? Simple! By knowing for yourself what Jesus taught. (John 10:22-28; John 8:31-32) If you know intimately what Jesus did say, you will know whether those who come in his name are really speaking his words. One of the best ways you can recognize false prophets is simply by who they direct you to. Do they direct you to listen to Christ by reading "his" words for yourself, or try to bury you in their religious sectarian writings and teachings? It's exactly as Jesus himself said: You must “remain in "his" teachings.” What does that even mean, to remain in the teachings of Jesus? That hasn't changed one bit since he was alive on earth. When his mother and brothers came to speak with him while he was teachings others what his Father sent him to teach, they sent someone in to interrupt him and tell him his family was outside wanting to speak with him. Jesus told those persons: Those who were sitting at Jesus's feet and learning from him were the ones doing the will of his Father. (John 6:28-29; Mat 12:46-50) That made them his family. If you do the same (and you are careful to follow only Jesus's teachings) you will be saved. Your faith in truth will grant you life. (Mat 8:13; Heb 10:37-39) Again, in light of Jesus’s many warnings about false teachers, (Mark 7:1-9) it is wise to consider the ways he said we can identify them. He said we could know the false teachers by the fruit they bear. (Mat 7:15-16) As Jesus identified, then, whether they are producing good fruitage is identified by whether they are learning (and teaching others) what he taught. If people want to join you in reading what Jesus taught, right from the Bible, they are helping. If they want to involve you in a study of materials written by them (which they will likely call Bible study aids), you are in danger. (Mark 7:1-9) Jesus was sent to teach us what his Father wanted us to know. (John 5:19-24) Those men who want to convince you of your need for them to explain what Jesus meant are really trying to replace Christ as your teacher. They are, in effect, saying they are Christ (or his replacements). (Mat 24:23-27) If you can be convinced you need some sect to explain what Jesus meant by what he said, who are you really following? Jesus said exactly what he meant for you to know. He intended no interpreter. It is a very simple process really:

If your will is to survive the end of this old system, (Luke 17:26-30) you must build faith to preserve yourself alive. (Heb 10:36-39) What  יהוה  is doing by means of his son Christ Jesus must be real to you. It must be real every second of every day. You must realize Jesus is right now “subduing in the midst of his enemies.” (Psalm 110:1-3) The fact you can hear this wonderful message of truth (the Sacred Secret) is proof of that! Satan's minions want you to hear and believe their doctrines, not this truth warning about them. Christ is clearly subduing in their midst. While Satan still influences this old system, (2 Cor 4:3-4) the teachings of Jesus have raised an army of Christians spread all through the earth who are submissive and loyal subjects of the kingdom of Christ. (Psalm 110:1-3) The truth Christians share from the Bible has power to burn away the facade of decency that allows a large portion of the earth's population to starve while others preach to them from glass cathedrals and ivory towers. (Heb 4:12-13) Just please recognize the common message among false Christian sects: They all believe (your) salvation equates with membership in and/or approval by their respective group. When men claim your salvation is tied to approval by them, what they are really saying is “here is the Christ.” (Mat 24:23-26) When they elevate themselves to assert you can't understand the Bible apart from their interpretation of what Jesus said, they are claiming they are the Christ, or his God appointed stand in. If you believe them when they warn YOU not to run ahead of "them" to study on your own, but to patiently wait on them to reveal "spiritual food" to you, are you sure you can still convince Christ you have been following him? (Mat 7:22-23) Even if they sincerely believe what they are saying, are you sure Christ will approve you? Don't be fooled by religious people! (Mat 24:23-27)

Let us caution again, reading the Bible and Gospels is the only way you can come to know Jesus intimately. All these self appointed religious groups have no power to fix the problems of mankind on their own. Our warning to them is: That's something they all need to realize, (Isa 45:23 of 22-25) either as groups or more importantly as individuals from among those groups. The kingdom of Christ is in the process of repairing all the damage Satan has done. (1 John 3:8b) People just need to be directed to what Jesus said, so they can individually understand and have faith in the Sacred Secret. It is a very bad thing to promise people to imagine their help can or will come through an approved standing within some sect of men. What they (what each of us) can and should do, is speak the truth to others by directing them to what Jesus taught. Our doing so gives them a chance to build faith in Christ. Contrary to popular religious teaching, you can not have a true and lasting faith (Mat 10:22b) in Jesus Christ if you don't first know personally what he said. (John 8:31-32; Mat 7:22-23) Reading your Bible is the only method by which you come to know him. We do, of course, need to show loving kindness toward other people, helping everyone as we are able. Remember, however, Jesus is God's empowered king and he is in the process of fixing everything that is wrong. Remember too, our faith in that solution, in that Sacred Secret of God, is the personal deliverance for each one of us. (2 Chron 20:17a) Do good: Help others have faith in what Jesus taught. You have faced and will face trials in this old world system. If this system was good, God would not be in the process of replacing it. It is so bad, however, it is crumbling down on itself. God wants to protect you alive, but, you must become a person He knows He can depend on; before He is able to help you. If He didn't make it so, those He protected would put us all right back in the same mess, by again choosing to disobey our Creator. What that all means is we must be determined, no matter what, to follow the directions of the son God sent to teach us. (Mat 21:33-41) We must become persons determined to do what God says because we understand God always does what is absolutely best for everyone. (Isa 48:16-19) That's what Jesus teaches us by his example. He came to do away with all that is bad, including even death. (1 Cor 15:20-28) If the promises of God aren't the most important thing in your life, the trials you face may overwhelm you: Those you love may turn their back on you. (Mat 10:32-39) You may find that what you have hoped in, or the people you believed in, are not who they pretended or who you believed they were. If the kingdom by Christ is real to you, you will surely read and meditate on Jesus's teachings as the most important thing in life. In that case, none of those trials will be overwhelming, because your love for God is the most important thing. (Mat 19:29; Php 3:4-9) You will know his promises are good and that your future is bright! The teachings of Jesus must be so real to you that you consider yourself part of his family. More importantly, he must consider you part of his family. (John 15:14-15 of 11-16; 1 Cor 8:3) When Jesus was instructing others about what he himself had learned from his Father, (John 5:19) his family approached requesting he come outside and speak with them: I do know we have already covered that scripture. Please take special note of who Jesus considered to be his family: He said it was those who were are “doing the will of his Father.” Jesus then pointed out those who were doing his Father’s will were the individuals seated around him listening to what he taught them; to what his Father wanted them to know. (John 7:16-18) That remains the only way you make yourself part of Jesus’s family right down to this day. Read what Jesus came to teach in the Gospel Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It really is just that simple. (Mat 11:25-30) We have mentioned several times about surviving the end of this old system (by being preserved alive by God). It is important to realize that wonderful hope is part of the Sacred Secret of God. God promised (in the book of Job) there would come a time when there would be someone to intervene in behalf of those heading to the grave, and would turn them back from death. He promised their flesh would grow young again. (Job 33:16-30) Jesus also talked about that hope. Just before he resurrected Lazarus, Jesus told Lararus's sister Martha that all those who had died would be resurrected, but those who were alive at the time of his return would never die at all. (John 11:21-27) Jesus also said the end of this old system would be like the days of Noah and Lot. Both were men of faith, and both (along with all who would listen to them) were preserved alive in their respective days of destruction (or salvation) by God. (Luke 17:26-30) When each of those men lived, the earth (or the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in the case of Lot) was filled with violence. (Gen 6:12-14) Just as Jesus promised, the destruction of the earth in our day will be similar to the days of Noah. (Mat 24:36-39) The righteous will be preserved alive while the wicked will be destroyed. As God promised Ezekiel, when the wicked are destroyed, those marked in their forehead (because they were sighing and groaning over the badness and suffering in the earth) will be preserved alive. (Eze 9:1-7) Your personal faith in Christ Jesus is the mark in your forehead. God foreknew a great tribulation that Jesus warned us about. He could foreknow it would happen because it is the natural consequence of disobedience to him. He did not cause it or bring it. We brought it upon ourselves by our hate for our fellowman and by having destroyed and polluted the earth the way we have. God actually holds off the destruction (Rev 7:1-3) until just the right time so as to save as many as possible. When God releases the destruction of our own making, He will at the same time be protecting those who love him as demonstrated their faith in his son (those who are marked in their forehead). That destruction may already have been released. If not, very soon. In the midst of it, everyone is deciding for themselves if they have faith. They either exercise faith in Christ; or not! (Eze 7:23-27; Heb 10:35-39) The tribulation and Armageddon we have brought and are having to witness, should drive everyone to examine the hope that is wrapped up in Jesus – the Sacred Secret of יהוה. We will each one build faith in Jesus, or we won't. There is no exemption from the war. (Ecc 8:8) You must decide you do love God, or it means you don't. Read what Jesus taught and warn others to do the same. It is our only hope! (Isa 9:6-7; Isa 11:1-10) If you wrap yourself in the teachings of Jesus Christ and try to follow his example, you don’t really have to worry about what not to do. His example will always help you know. With so many false teachers about, however, it does seem wise to give what we "should not do" some consideration. The apostle Paul said:

We have all practiced some of these wicked things, and we all struggle against the desire to practice some of them still yet. Otherwise, we would be perfect. (Rom 7:18-25) (We will, of course, regain the perfection our parents stole from us when we are in the restored paradise, and those sinful inclinations will be gone forever.) The point for us to realize is this: We must be trying to follow Christ, which also means we fight against our sinful desires because they are condemned by God. If we fall down, we must get up and renew the fight. We don't willfully practice such sins, or even say they are alright for others, maybe by claiming some bad sexual sin is an expression of love. (1 Cor 6:9-11) We must love God before we can love anyone else. (1 John 4:19) If we do love God, we will obey him. (1 John 5:3) Sometimes people look for their guidance to what the law of the land says is acceptable. Don’t be fooled: If you practice or condone as acceptable what God condemns, you are not a follower of Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 6:9-12) If you are able to get every person alive to say you are right to practice a thing God condemns, you are still wrong and you will still die if you don't change. You don’t have to argue with people who pronounce that what is bad is good, (Isa 5:18-24) or be concerned with their lifestyle. Just tell them what the Bible says, along with your expression of faith in the Bible as The Word of God. Assure them you do understand your personal judgments have no value. What the Bible says, however, has great value. If they can justify their behavior before our Creator, I will all be happy  for  with them. If it is a practice which is condemned in God’s word, however, no one can justify it. May the blessings of the revelation of the Sacred Secret of God come upon you, just as you express faith in Jesus Christ. Spend every day of your life better learning what Jesus came to teach. Some of us used to be like the world and without God. But now, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God's Spirit have washed us and made us holy and acceptable to God. (Acts 2:36; Acts 4:8-13)

This material from justbibletruth.com is surely different from what you have heard or read before. So was what Jesus Christ taught. We do our best to expose the difference between religion and Christianity. Also, to warn that many who claim to be Christians are really not teaching what Jesus taught. (John 8:31-32; Mat 7:15-16) No matter what good intentions they might have, they are workers of lawlessness if they are going beyond (1 Cor 4:6) what Jesus Christ taught. (Mat 7:21-24) That simple knowledge lifts the veil (Luke 2:29-31) from people and  they  YOU are left to make the decision: (John 15:22) Will YOU serve God; or not?  Will you  Have you willingly become subservient to the teachings of Jesus? Justbibletruth.com magnifies the awakening that is happening in the earth in our day. (Isa 45:23 or 22-25) We pray everyone will make the wise decision. (Deu 11:26-28) What about you? (John 11:26)

The Sacred Secret of God is the sum total of the knowledge
contained in, and brought us by, Jesus Christ! (John 15:11‑15)
