Mystery of the Faith Lesson 5
The Seven Seals
There were things taught about
this "faith" which they did not understand (a "mystery").
They did not understand (a "mystery") that Jesus would come, be
born of a virgin, but would be rejected, crucified, buried, and raised the
third day. They did not understand (a "mystery") that Jesus
would ascend to heaven and return at a later time to set up his political
kingdom as promised to Abraham.
They did not understand (a
"mystery") that Jesus would return as a thief in the night and the
born again believers would be taken out, Raptured. Then a period of great
tribulation would follow on the earth for seven years, to purge and prepare the
Israeli nation for the 2nd coming of Jesus to be their King and Savior.
The seven seals is the time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30:7 "Alas! for
that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's
