In this continued teaching, we learn that prophecy describes God’s earthly plan for Israel, which revolves around material blessing and a works‑based expression of faith. The mystery reveals God’s heavenly plan for the Body of Christ, which is blessed with all spiritual blessings and saved by grace through faith alone. Prophecy was foretold through many prophets and entrusted to the Twelve, while the mystery was unveiled only to the Apostle Paul. Unlike the prophets, who often didn’t fully comprehend their own messages, Paul fully understood the mystery and desired that all believers grasp it as well.
