The Angelic Conflict - Part 42 -
1. Bible doctrine is the least publicized of priorities in this world because this is the devil’s world.

2. Invisible heroes, like Bible doctrine, are the least publicized of heroes.

2CO 6:9 we are unknown yet well-known,

3. Like Bible doctrine and invisible heroes, the trial called the angelic conflict is the least publicized of all trials.

“the mystery” = the mystery doctrine of the Church-age, used to bring glory to God in the angelic conflict.

Your mastery of the mystery doctrine of the Church-age makes you competent and more than equal to any adversities or tests in this life!

It is demonstrated before elect and fallen angels through your faithfulness to God that God is just in everything He does, so He must have been just in imposing sentence on Satan and all his angels!

1TI 3:16 - He [God] who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

The information about the wisdom of God in the Church-age radically changes their universe.

2CO 6:9 are unknown yet well-known,

REV 3:5 To the winner, I will acknowledge his name before My Father, and before His angels.

JOH 12:43 for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
