(Ephesians 3:7-11) Thus we
see that this great mystery is the Christ, and that for six thousand
years Jehovah has been preparing for, developing and completing this
great mystery; and that when completed, he will use the Christ as his
prophet, priest, and king to minister unto the people, to rule over the
people, and to bless the people, according to his promise.
[346]The Apostle declares that the whole creation is groaning and
travailing in pain, waiting for the manifestation of this great
mystery. (Romans 8:19-22) The people do not know for what they are
waiting. But when the great mystery is complete and Messiah's kingdom
set up, then God will bring his long-promised blessings to mankind, and
ultimately his will shall be done upon earth as it is done in heaven.
