(1) The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven Matthew 13:3-50.
(2) the mystery of Israel's blindness during this age Romans 11:25 (with context);
(3) the mystery of the translation of living saints at the end of this age 1 Corinthians 15:51,52; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17.
(4) the mystery of N.T. church as one body composed of Jew and Gentile Ephesians 3:1-11; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 6:19; Colossians 4:3.
(5) the mystery of the church as the bride of Christ Ephesians 5:28-32.
(6) the mystery of the inliving Christ Galatians 2:20; Colossians 1:26,27.
(7) the "mystery of God even Christ," i.e. Christ as the incarnate fullness of the Godhead embodied, in whom all the divine wisdom for man subsists Colossians 2:2,9; 1 Corinthians 2:7.
(8) the mystery of the processes by which godlikeness is restored to man 1 Timothy 3:16.
(9) the mystery of iniquity 2 Thessalonians 2:7; Matthew 13:33.
