Mystery of the Faith Lesson 8 The Marriage of The Lamb 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.

own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father
and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in
