Posted by Lynn on 8/14/2006, 11:49 am The church was "the body of Moses".[Ex, Lev, Num, Then the church was "the body of Christ". Today we are "the church which IS His body" with Christ as head. Eph 4:15,16 The members of the church of the mystery are built into a temple for the Lord.[Eph 2:19-22]. This is silently done as people grow in truth. At the close of the Acts period, Paul stopped looking for a kingdom on earth. Then he stopped looking for a heavenly city. We are His workmanship [Eph 2:10]with a unique hope in heavenly places. Believers today are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. This was never revealed until this verse in Ephesians. It was kept secret until revealed to Paul. Eph 1:3,4 Sin has never been in this realm. [Eph 1:20-23].We are seated there now in God's eyes.[Eph 2:6] Eph 3:5-9 Col 1:26 We were chosen BEFORE the foundation of the world. Eph 1:4 2Tim 1:9 Titus 1:2 Contrast this with other dispensations. They were planned FROM or SINCE the foundation of the world. Matt 25:34 Rev 17:8 Every member is baptized by an operation performed by God. A circumcision without hands. Col 2:11,12 Paul was a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles. [Eph 3:1-4] The present day truth concerning the hope of the church of the mystery is found in these seven books: Ephesians,Philippians, Colossians, 1,2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. This is called the kingdom of His dear Son and a heavenly kingdom. Col 1:13 2Tim 4:18

The Church of the Mystery
Deut]
Eph 2:5,6
Eph 4:10
Col 3:1-4
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places.
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints.
