G3466 — μυστήριον

μυστηρίου, τό (μύστης (one initiated; from μυέω, which see)), in classical Greek a hidden thing, secret, mystery: μυστήριον σου μή κατειπης τῷ φιλῶ, Menander; plural generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the initiated and not to be communicated by them to ordinary mortals; (cf. K. F. Hermann, Gottesdienstl. Alterthümer der Griechen, § 32). In the Scriptures:

1. a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding: 1Co 13:2; 1Co 14:2; (of the secret rites of the Gentiles, Wis. 14:15, 23).

2. a hidden purpose or counsel; secret will: of men, τοῦ βασιλέως, Tobit 12:7, 11; τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ, Judith 2:2; of God: μυστήρια Θεοῦ, the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly, Wis. 2:22. In the N. T., God's plan of providing salvation for men through Christ, which was once hidden but now is revealed: Rom 16:25; 1Co 2:7 (on this see ἐν, I. 5 f.); Eph 3:9; Col 1:26f; with τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ added, Eph 1:9; τοῦ Θεοῦ, which God formed, Col 2:2; (1Co 2:1 WH text); τοῦ Χριστοῦ, respecting Christ, Col 4:3; τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, which is contained and announced in the gospel, Eph 6:19; ἐτελέσθη τό μυστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ, said of the consummation of this purpose, to be looked for when Christ returns, Rev 10:7; τά μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν or τοῦ Θεοῦ, the secret purposes relative to the kingdom of God, Mat 13:11; Mar 4:11; Luk 8:10; used of certain single events decreed by God having reference to his kingdom or the salvation of men, Rom 11:25; 1Co 15:51; of God's purpose to bless the Gentiles also with salvation through Christ (cf. Lightfoot on Col 1:26), Eph 3:3, cf. Eph 3:5; with τοῦ Χριστοῦ added, Eph 3:4; οἰκονόμοι μυστηρίων Θεοῦ, the stewards of God's mysteries, i. e. those intrusted with the announcement of God's secret purposes to men, 1Co 4:1; used generally, of Christian truth as hidden from ungodly men: with the addition of τῆς πίστεως, τῆς εὐσεβείας, which faith and godliness embrace and keep, 1Ti 3:9, 1Ti 3:16; τό μυστήριον τῆς ἀνομίας the mystery of lawlessness, the secret purpose formed by lawlessness, seems to be a tacit antithesis to God's saving purpose, 2Th 2:7.

3. Like רָזָא and סוד in rabbinic writers, it denotes the mystic or hidden sense: of an O. T. saying, Eph 5:32; of a name, Rev 17:5; of an image or form seen in a vision, Rev 1:20; Rev 17:5; of a dream, (Theod.) Dan 2:18f, 27-30, where the Sept. so renders רָז. (The Vulg. translates the wordsacramentum in Dan 2:18; Dan 4:6; Tobit 12:7; Wis. 2:22; Eph 1:9; Eph 3:3, Eph 3:9; Eph 5:32; 1Ti 3:16; Rev 1:20.) (On the distinctive N. T. use of the word cf. Campbell, Dissertations on the Gospels. diss. ix. part i.; Kendrick in B. D. American edition under the word ; Lightfoot on Col 1:26.)

3. In NT, of the counsels of God ( cf. Th .: Job 15:8, Psa 25:14 for H5475), once hidden but now revealed in the Gospel or some fact thereof;

字義溯源：奧祕，祕密，隱藏，隱意傳授祕密；源自（G3466（μυστήριον）X*=封閉）。這編號在新約用了27次。前三福音書用了3次，主講論神國的奧祕時，同樣的事記載在前三福音書中；啓示錄用了4次；其餘20次，全是保羅在書信中所用。主耶穌對那些在信心中來到他面前的人，講論神國的奧祕。人能否明白和領受主的話，全在於人心的回轉（悔改）。不願意的耳朵，是聽不到神國的奧祕；有遮蓋的眼睛，也看不見神國的奧祕；因為國度的信息，乃是悔改和相信的呼召。並且要求人忍受苦難（可4:17）。歷世歷代最大而神聖的奧祕現已揭開，就是基督藉著十字架上的死來拯救世人（林前2:1,2,9,10）。同樣重要的，這大奧祕的基本啓示，乃是猶太人與外邦人都站在同等的根基上來接受救恩；這事在保羅的傳講中，已清楚的表明出來。（參讀：弗2:1; 3:3,4,6）。保羅認為這是神救恩的原則與目的。（參讀：弗6:19；西1:26,27; 4:3）。為此，保羅也自稱為外邦人的使徒（羅11:13）。信心的奧祕（提前3:9），和敬虔的奧祕（提前3:16），也同樣是連於耶穌基督是世人的救主這個啓示上。其實，（提前3:16）的話：『大哉，敬虔的奧祕，無人不以為然；就是神在肉身顯現，被聖靈稱義，被天使看見，被傳於外邦，被世人信服，被接在榮耀裏』。就是主耶穌福音故事的描述。啓示錄也把各種奧祕啓示出來。約翰解析說，七個金燈臺的奧祕就是七個教會（啓1:20）。約翰又說，在第七位天使吹號發聲的時候，神的奧祕就成全了，正如神所傳給他僕人眾先知的佳音（啓10:7）
