Mystery or Mysteries of Revelation 10:7
This is a question I have encountered on the mission-field on several occasions and is deliberated on my website. Why does Brother Branham repeatedly say all the mysteries of God are to be revealed by the seventh church age messenger when Revelation 10:7 specifically says “ . . . the mystery of God should be finished” singular? I will provide the references below.
128 “Notice Revelation 10:1 – 7, all the mysteries are to be revealed to the Bride, by the messenger of the Laodicea Church.”[1]
Revelation 10:7 “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”
On the surface, this appears to be a contradiction; but when you actually understand what the mystery of God is, everything is clarified. Revelation 10:7 isn’t a verse that we isolate from the rest of its context. In Revelation 10:1-4 we have two things that happen: we have a Mighty Angel, which we understand to be Christ, the very embodiment of the presence of God in theophany form, coming down from heaven with an open book and he speaks forth with a loud voice; and when he does seven thunders utter their voices. This is the means of revealing that which was hidden to Daniel in Daniel 12:4, 8-10. Since it is written, yet hidden from the understanding, we know that it is a mystery. It is the mystery of God that was revealed to God’s servants the prophets, but as yet unknown to them. Daniel is told it must be revealed in the end time. It is the hidden mystery of God and it is directly connected to the sealed book that the Mighty Angel brings down and is open. It is known that this book is referred to as the Book of Redemption. It reveals the mystery of redemption through the ages. This mystery of redemption contains many mysteries. We can refer to a few of them: serpent’s seed; Christ revealed in Bride form; mystery of our life source in election; Godhead; etc. Altogether they are the singular mystery of redemption, they are plural mysteries.
