"To say that something is mysterious
is not to say that nothing can be said of it."
is not to say that nothing can be said of it."

Can I have some incense and candles with that mystery, please?
Conversely, to say that "we have this mystery revealed" is not to say that there isn't any mystery left.
I sat in on a Sunday School class one time with a white haired saint, retired missionary who said something to the effect that every time the word "mystery" is used in scripture, it is used in the context of something being revealed that had been hidden. While that may not be precisely true in every instance, it is true in most instances.
Whew!
This book is great! I am in the middle of reading it and I highly recommend it to everyone.
