Would you say that all of the secrets that are contained in scripture have already been discovered and that there is no reason to expect to find anything new?

I'm not a gnostic. There are no "secrets" in the Bible that need to be "discovered". The first century believers who directly received the gospels, letters, etc could have firgured all that stuff out without a decoder ring.

If anyone says differently they are trying to sell something.

AMEN!

People love puzzles and seem to concoct them out of thin air. The Gospel is a lot clearer than all this dispensational imaginings which, in truth, is simply the wolf of rehashed politics dressed up in the Lamb's clothing.

From all these posts one might assume dispensationalism was the prevailing view of modern Christianity when in fact it is a small minority, a fringe element who look outside the window and declare -- "Today it's raining; so it will rain next month."

The Biblical Basis of Postmillennialism.

"Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth." -- Daniel 2:35

I see that you have not developed the same awe as I have when it comes to the Word of God. I believe that scripture is full of hidden secret treasure, which displays God's character from cover to cover. I find it odd for you to suggest that one generation could have figured out all that stuff, when all of the generations of men have yet to exhaust it's blessings.

There is a new blessing in God's word for every day for the rest of your life.
