The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 352

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Revelation 8:1) 102 Now, God’s secret mystery, He had before the world began. Now, back in the back part of God’s mind, there was something that He was trying and was going to achieve, and He had a motive in doing it, in order to let Himself be expressed. Because, first, there wasn’t even a moon, star, atom, molecule, or anything. He was God. But He exactly wasn’t God at that time, because God is an object of worship, and there wasn’t nothing to worship Him. 103 So, in His great mind, He wanted these attributes to be expressed. And in Him was love; in Him was to be Father; in Him was to be Son; in Him was to be a Saviour; in Him was to be a Healer. And all these great attributes that we see already expressed, they were in God. 104 So, my opinion, the first thing that He made was Angels. And then they worshiped Him, and that made Him God. And He started from there. As in previous Messages I have tried to explain it, break it down. And now, then, when Angels began to worship Him, that was before there was even a molecule in the earth. There was nothing. It was all darkness. There wasn’t no sun, nor no moon, no stars, no nothing, then He was God. As He asked Job, “Where was you when I laid the foundations of the world, see, when the morning stars sang together, the sons of God shouted for joy? See? Now, where were you?” See? That was way back before the earth. 105 Now, God had a purpose and a hidden mystery. And that’s what I want to speak on to the Church this morning, the hidden mystery of God that He had in His mind before the world ever began, and how that it’s unfolded itself right down to this present hour that we’re living. See? Then you will understand clearly then, you see, on, I believe, what is being done. 106 God’s great mystery, of how, it’s a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it. Even the Angels didn’t understand it. See, He didn’t reveal it. That’s the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, “It’s not…Even the Son Himself don’t know when it’s going to happen.” See, God has this all to Himself. It’s a secret. And that’s the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That’s one thing He hasn’t revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It’s a good thing that He doesn’t. No. 63-0728 - "Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed" Rev.
