The resurrection of the dead (1Cor 15:51), and other doctrines which need to be explained but
which cannot be fully understood by finite intelligence (Mt 13:11; Rom 11:25; 1Cor 13:2); the union between
Christ and his people
symbolized by the marriage
union (Eph 5:31, 32; comp. 6:19); the
seven stars and the seven candlesticks (Rev 1:20); and the woman
clothed in scarlet (17:7),
are also in this sense mysteries. The anti-Christian power working
in his day is called by the apostle (2 Thes 2:7) the "mystery of
iniquity."
