Post #297: The Hidden Wisdom in a Mystery | KJV Right Division (Week 11)
Post 297 · Day 73-1: 1 Corinthians 2:7 – The Hidden Wisdom in a Mystery
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” — 1 Corinthians 2:7 KJV
Paul's message in Corinth was not popular wisdom but divine wisdom — hidden in a mystery, ordained before the world for our glory. The world's rulers crucified the Lord of glory because they did not know this wisdom (verse 8). It was above and beyond human perception until God disclosed it.
Right Division: Right Division: 'Ordained before the world unto our glory' — the mystery was purposed in eternity past for the Body of Christ's glorification. God planned the Body of Christ before the foundation of the world and hid it until the appointed time of Paul's revelation. This connects Ephesians 1:4 ('chosen in him before the foundation of the world') to the mystery: the Body of Christ was predestined in eternity past and disclosed in time through Paul.
