See 2 Cor. 2:15, 16 first. Savor means “aroma” and “influence.” Throw a pebble into a lake, and a wave is formed, and another, and another. As they increase the circle widens, until it reaches the very shore.
Beyond our knowledge or control it tells upon others in blessing OR cursing. Character is power.
“Call on Me and I will answer you and will show you great and mighty things which you knew not.” Jer. 33: 3.
No other study will so ennoble every thought. Feeling, and aspiration as the study of the Bible. No other book can satisfy the questioning of the mind and the craving of the heart.
O the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out. Rom. 11:33.
“In the Bible thousands of gems of truth lie hidden from the surface seeker. This mine of truth is never exhausted. The more you search the Scriptures with humble hearts, the greater will be your interest, and the more you will be exclaiming with apostle Paul: “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God.”
The Mysteries of God that are Finished in the Seventh Trumpet
In the Bible (K.J.V., N.K.J.V, etc.) the words “mystery” (mentioned five times) and “mysteries” (mentioned twenty times) may only be found in the New Testament.

Three Principal Subjects to Unite the Flock and Sanctify the Soul
Character unity, based on the heavenly standard, transcends organizational unity particularly that of spiritual Babylon’s, which is based on a global unity that demonizes the individuality of religion. The former is based on true freedom and liberty and is as unchanging, uncluttered, and everlasting in its principles and methods of achievement, as its divine Author and Example is–Jesus Christ, the humble Creator of heavens and the earth, the world’s Redeemer, merciful High Priest, Mediator and Advocate in heaven, who, like the Father, “changeth not” “neither is there any variableness nor shadow of turning,” is “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” the great I Am, and thus, unquestionably, to the earnest seeker of truth, and adopted the sons of daughters of God, is “the Author and finisher of our faith.”
Human organizational unity and all that comes with it, though based even on the most recent cutting-edge knowledge enhanced by the latest science and technology, is characterized by constantly changing concepts and priorities, increasingly spiritualistic philosophies which are but outgrowths of ancient heathen myths and esoteric wisdom, and policies that change with every political cycle, and every time there is a changing of the guards among those occupying the various ivy towers of “the great men of the earth” with craftily-designed legalese and jargon that the man on main street will never understand, thus, needs “lawyering up.”
