In this Bible lesson, Scott Mitchell continues The Secret of the Lord series by addressing the growing apostasy within the modern church and online platforms. False teachers and influencers are spreading confusion for attention, but scripture makes clear that understanding the mysteries of God protects believers from deception. This teaching focuses on Israel’s temporary blindness and the current dispensation of grace revealed through the Apostle Paul.
Psalm 25:14 declares that the Lord reveals His secret to those who fear Him and enter into covenant through Jesus Christ. Scott explains how this hidden truth unfolds in God’s plan: Israel’s rejection of their Messiah opened the door for the gospel of grace to go to the Gentiles. Paul received a unique ministry directly from the risen Christ, preaching salvation by faith apart from the law.
Scripture shows that Israel’s blindness was foretold and is only “in part” and “until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” God has not replaced Israel. The kingdom program is paused, not canceled, and national restoration will occur when the Lord returns. Today, both Jew and Gentile are saved individually through the gospel of grace, not through the Mosaic law or national covenant.
This lesson emphasizes why rightly dividing the Word of Truth matters. Confusing the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of grace leads to legalism, works-based teaching, and doctrinal error. Understanding the Lord’s secret brings clarity, assurance, and confidence in Christ’s finished work.
Key Scriptures (KJV):
Psalm 25:14; Galatians 2:9, 11–13; Romans 10:1–4, 19–21; Romans 11:7–8, 11–15, 25–27; Ephesians 3:1–7; Matthew 13:10–17; Isaiah 59:20–21; Zechariah 12:9–10; Hosea 5:15; Jeremiah 31:31–34; Romans 5:8–10
