Revelation

Revelation is not something you can dig out of a theology book or study guide. It's not even something you can unravel in the bible all by yourself. Revelation is locked up in a realm the Bible calls "mystery." A mystery cannot be hunted down and trapped like an animal. It can't be discovered by persistent searching. It must be revealed. We don't unlock mysteries; they are unlocked for us. And they are only unlocked and revealed to those who hunger for them. Jesus said He concealed truth in parables so it remained a mystery to some, but not for others. In the same way He put gold in the rocks and said, "If you want it, go find it and dig it out." the Bible says, It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter" (Proverbs 25:2)
