The Bible - written for one child The Bible was written primarily for Jesus to know who he was and what he should do.
The mystery was written for the Word of God [1] who would become flesh [2], and 'close his eyes' to his divinity [3]. Just as one does not become blind when closing your eyes, neither was his divinity diminished in any capacity. He simply chose not to use it, and instead to be tempted in every way that we are, without advantage [4].
Others could not understand the mystery because of their sin [5]. But being born sinless, and having no sin [6] he was able to understand the scriptures. [7]
As he grew, he learned who he was and what he was to do from the riddles hidden in the scriptures. He learned that he was the Son of God. [8]
We can now read those same riddles. But no one else could not see them because of the hardness of their hearts. [9]
Paul speaks of the mystery which has been hidden from the beginning. He is literally talking about a mystery hidden in the Old Testament beginning with Genesis 1:1.
There is an ancient riddle which asks why Genesis 1:1 starts with the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet and not the first. The rabbis personify the letters and suggest the aleph א was more humble than the bet ב.
The real answer is that the aleph is a silent letter AND in Genesis 1:1 it is invisible as well.
The two yods י and vav ו which form the aleph are arranged in such a way to say that "God spoke and created the heavens and the earth" א.
At the beginning of Gen 1:1 it says that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth when no man could see or hear him do it.
The first two letters of Genesis 1:1 are the invisible aleph א and the bet ב in bereshith בראשית . Aleph-bet אב spells 'ab' which means father. From the beginning no man has seen the father [10](because the aleph is invisible). But the first two letters you see are בר 'bar' meaning Son. It is the Son who makes him known [11], because you ask why can't you see the aleph.
It is childish word-play. Jesus said you had to become as a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven [12] (which is teaching).
THe invisible aleph tells us that God is the creator. Like a fractal expansion [13], the first word of Genesis 1:1 says the same.
The first word is bereshith בראשית. Reading it letter by letter (each letter has a meaning) it says: A revelation to man ב it is revealed ר that God spoke and created the heaven and the earth א His word did not return void ש what he intended to do י was finished ת.
The fractal expansion continues with verse 1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Split bereshith in half and 'in the beginning' he created 'bara' ברא six 'shith' שית . So the fractal expansion continues as God tells how he created the heavens and the earth in six days.
Then each day is like a Table of Contents pointer to a portion of the Bible which has six additional sections. So the fractal expansion continues to declare that God is the creator through the rest of the book.
