From the Greek word Musterion. It means a secret.
Mystery comes from the Greek word musterion. It means a secret. Today the word mystery means, to most folks, something that cannot be understood, but in the Bible, it is a secret that is kept hidden till the time comes to reveal it. There may be a little parallel between the ancient mysteries of Babylon and other heathen religions. The initiates were led to the inner truths or secrets by stages or degrees, which might run from 7 in the worship of Mithra to 33 in the Babylonian mysteries. Paul addressed the epistles containing the mystery to initiates which he called saints and faithful.
