The “mystery” refers to what the first Adam lost at the fall and what the Last Adam restored, and how it relates to the angelic conflict.

Once the serious student of the word of God, or the believer who wants to have an impact in the spiritual realm recognizes this, then he will see the importance of God’s word as far as relationships are concerned.
The mystery goes back to the Garden of Eden and what the first Adam lost in the Garden at the fall, and what the last Adam, TLJC, restored and how it relates to the angelic conflict.
We can understand and experience a measure of these principles in the spiritual realm now, however, we will abide in them and experience them in totality in the eternal state.
The absolute righteousness that the first Adam lost, is now duplicated and imputed in the spiritual realm to the believer in the C.A. who receives a double righteousness (double portion); he will remain in that state of perfection forever, REV 22:11.
The perfect environment in the Garden of Eden that the first Adam lost, is now duplicated in the spiritual realm in the PPOG for the Church-age but will be consummated in the eternal state with perfect environment for all of eternity, REV 21:1-4.
The original design of marriage that the first Adam lost, can now be experienced in the spiritual realm for two believers in the C.A. and becomes analogous to the eternal marriage between TLJC and His bride for all of eternity, REV 21:9.
The information about it in the mystery age is some of the greatest intelligence for the defeat of the greatest creature genius Satan and his plot in human history.
PRO 24:5 A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge increases power.
When that information is the metabolized mind or thinking of Jesus Christ, and the special spiritual intelligence required for victory, then we will have made available to us everything we need to understand and combat the situation.
If a believer desires to know the truth about any biblical subject, it will be revealed to that person, JOH 7:17,JER 29:13.
The pastor-teachers of the Church-age are called stewards, or managers, or dispensers of that mystery, 1CO 4:1.
1CO 4:1 Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Philippians – the connection between the maximum glorification of God for which believers are created, the resolution of a prehistoric angelic conflict, and born-again believers receiving the highest and best from God.
In that same place He is guarding for us something on deposit, EPH 1:3, 1PE 1:4, and that deposit is great and phenomenal wealth for the soul and for the believer throughout time, and the eternal state.
The believer in the C.A. who reaches spiritual maturity and then passes the most serious undeserved suffering, yet the most magnificent experience – evidence testing, will receive fantastic blessings in time and greater blessings in eternity.
He or she goes into the realm of becoming an invisible hero and receives the highest and best from God beginning now in time, MAR 10:30.
MAL 3:10 Behold I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing which you will not be able to contain.
PSA 23:5 My cup overflows
Acts 13:36 – it was said of David, that he served his generation, he benefited it.
We have some hints from Rev 2-3 about the rewards imputed to the winner believer, but we cannot fully comprehend them now.
As a born again believer in Jesus Christ, you have the capacity in your local assembly, your marriage, your family, on your job – you have the most phenomenal, magnificent privilege and potential and opportunity.
No one lived it before the humanity of Christ became incarnate and pioneered it, and then passed it to the church with two added extras – rebound and occupation with Jesus Christ.
REV 4:11 Worthy art Thou, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for Thou didst create all things, and because of Thy will they existed, and were created.
ISA 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, I have created for My glory, the ones whom I have formed, even whom I have made.
ISA 43:21 “The people whom I formed for Myself, Will declare My praise.”
JOH 15:8 By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and {so} prove to be My disciples.
This motivation needs to be checked when it comes to your local assembly, your marriage, your family, or your job.
The formal trial or Satan’s presentation of his appeal was presented between the creation of the first Adam and the incarnation of the second Adam, or the last Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Between GEN 2:7, the creation of the first Adam (A1) and MAT 1:25, the birth of the last Adam (A2) was the presentation of the formal trial.
In the dispensation of the hypostatic union and the dispensation of the Church the prosecution has its answer to Satan’s presentation of his appeal – the rebuttal phase of the trial.
