The mystery of God is mentioned in 22 different verses of the Bible. The mystery started before the world was created.
Paul says “we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” (1 Cor 2:7-8)
Because of the freedom God has granted man, God’s plan for the crucifixion of Christ had to be kept secret. The crucifixion wad a foreordained event (predestined), however the individual’s faith in the event is foreknown by God, but not foreordained. God in His sovereignty has granted freedom to all mankind.
