Scooby Doo is on the greatest Mystery trail ever. ...
The Mystery of God.
Also there is another parallel mystery, but not so great at all, the mystery of iniquity.
Scooby Doo's first call is to hear a parable of the Kingdom of God. This makes Scooby tie his ears around his head because iot sounds a little strange of seeing, but not understanding, or of hearing but still not getting it...
Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
The problem with this Mystery, and unlike all the other mysteries Scooby has solved, is this one needs to be REVEALED.
Also Scooby understands( as it is told plainly) how this is made known fora PURPOSE, which is for the obedience of faith...
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Scooby next notices how many are speaking with men's words ( Scooby prefers dogs words) which are without power or Spirit.
Men continue to mock around the word perfect( which is giving of mercy and not a hardened unmerciful heart of man) and how not even princes get to know.
Again Scooby hears the notice saying, how the eye cant see nor the ear hear. ( this hearing comes by love which works no ill to Scooby) and needs to be REVEALED.
Scooby reads how this is revealed, WHEN WE HAVE THAT MIND OF CHRIST...
1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Lastly on this beginning of understanding, Scooby sees this is manifested to Saints, and the Mystery is God in man.
There is a WARNING also, in better wisdom than mans, that a presentation is required, to be perfect in Christ ( and Christ in us perfectly) and that LABOURING is mighty according to God's working..
Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Now Scooby discovers something strange. How dogs are told to be abomination.
How dogs compassed about God. How God as the Messiah was delivered from the POWER OF THE DOG.
How dogs are dumb when they do not bark and are lazy to do well.
How dogs are greedy too, looking to their own way for GAIN.
Scooby hears the same perverse disputings of men again in corrupt minds ( they do not have the pure mind of Christ) as they suppose gain is godliness..
Deuteronomy 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whoore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Psalm 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isaiah 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Scooby now seems to be struggling to find answers to this Mystery, because he hears how what is Holy does not go to the dogs( dogs are the selfish greedy non merciful) and pearls do not go to swine either.
Scooby reads how peace is spoken by God, and warned they shall not return to folly.
Scooby is a little worried reminded how a dog returns to his vomit.
Scooby now understands though, why pearls do not go to swine, or what is Holy to the dogs, because the swine) sow) washed serves no purpose neither does giving what is Holy when vomit is also taken by the dogs....
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
This time Scooby realizes who dogs are, it is evil workers of course, and Scooby does not want to be one of them.
Especially upon reading ( and hearing/seeing) how an overcoming is REQUIRED, to inherit the understanding of this Mystery of God, which the abominable ( the vomit returners and mire returners) and idolaters ( Covetous greedy dog seekers) and LIARS end up in the fire in their part ( their part of the mystery next).
Without are dogs, who do not do the commandments to have RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE ( the commandment was to love your neighbour by being Holy and not for self gain)...
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Luckily Scooby finally has his answer of hope, the Mystery was not excluding Scooby, the Mystery was Scooby had to become a NEW CREATURE, for all to be NEW, ( those who remain dogs understand a different mystery next)...
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Yes they remain dogs, they have tails ( which sting) to hurt men, and their wickedness is REVEALED, with LYING WONDERS, of deceivable UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, ( no love and no truth in them ) to be saved...
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Revelation 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
