Century Apostles &
the Mysteries Fulfilled
Stature of a Perfect Man
A. Our Mandate is to Produce Champions by this
Standard
Ephesians 4:13—[That it might develop] until we all
attain oneness in the faith and in the
comprehension of the [full and accurate]
knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive]
at really mature manhood (the completeness of
personality which is nothing less than the standard
height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of
the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the
completeness found in Him. AMP
Ephesians 4:13-15—til we all come to the
unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to a perfect man, to the
measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ; 14 that we should no longer be
children, tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of
men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful
plotting, NKJV

Dear Paul Keith,
Today the Lord said that He was forming a Jehu
company at your hub down south. Then He took me back
to a vision that He sent in 2003 of a cave of sleeping
bears that woke up and devoured spirits that mock the
prophets. The Lord likened the Jehu Company to the
bears that mocked Elisha. This Jehu Company has been
in hibernation but they are awakening with a voracious
appetites...The Lord said He has been preparing you to
feed this great Jehu Company for many years and to
rejoice because they are waking up extremely hungry.....
Blessings!

Mysteries to be Stewarded in the Apostolic
Hubs
Meaning of the Greek term Mystery; in the New
Testament is the translation of the Greek word
musterion –meaning to shut the mouth
1) a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the
understanding
2. a hidden purpose or counsel; secret
will: of men; of God: the secret counsels
which govern God in dealing with the
righteous, which are hidden from ungodly
and wicked men but plain to the godly
3. A spiritual truth that was once hidden
but now is revealed, and that, without the
Spirit of Revelation, would have remained
unknown
A. Things Which Eye Hasn’t Seen nor Ear
Heard.
1 Corinthians 2:6-10—Yet we do speak wisdom
among those who are mature; a wisdom, however,
not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are
passing away; but we speak God's wisdom in a
mystery, the hidden wisdom which God
predestined before the ages to our glory; the
wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has
understood; for if they had understood it they would
not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is
written;
"THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN
AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND
which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE
HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS
PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE
HIM."
For to us God revealed them through
the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all
things, even the depths of God.
B. A Generation In Whom—Mysteries are Fulfilled.
Revelation 10:7-11—But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the
mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His
servants the prophets. Then the voice which I heard
from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and
saying, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of
the angel who stands on the sea and on the land." So I
went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.
And he said to me, "Take it and eat it; it will make your
stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as
honey." I took the little book out of the angel's hand
and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and
when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. And
they said to me, "You must prophesy again concerning
many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."
I. The Mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven by
Revelation.
Matthew 13:3–15—And the disciples came and said to
Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" Jesus
answered them, " To you it has been granted to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been granted... "Therefore I speak to them in
parables; because while seeing they do not see, and
while hearing they do not hear, nor do they
understand. " In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is
being fulfilled, which says,
YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING,BUT WILL NOT
UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT
WILL NOT PERCEIVE; FOR THE HEART OF THIS
PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS
THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED
THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE
WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND
UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,
AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'
" But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and
your ears, because they hear. "For truly I say to you
that many prophets and righteous men desired to see
what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you
hear, and did not hear it.

to be uninformed of this mystery — so that you will
not be wise in your own estimation — that a partial
hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness
of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will
be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER

will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and
the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be
changed. For this perishable must put on the
imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
But when this perishable will have put on the
imperishable, and this mortal will have put on
immortality, then will come about the saying that is
written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. " O
DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH,
WHERE IS YOUR STING?"
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even
so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep
in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the
Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For
the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of
God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who
are alive and remain will be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we
shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one
another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

ready. The Message calls the Bride together.
2. Voice= "Lazarus, come forth." The voice wakes up the

Hebrews 11:5—By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would
not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD
TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his
being taken up he was pleasing to God.
4. What will the Catching Away Look Like—Matthew 27:50-53.
5. The quality of Nebuchadnezzar's image diminished with
each passing change of leadership. From gold to iron. So has
our leadership in this nation diminished. Four Progressions of
the Anti-Christ spirit
V. The Ekklesia (Assembly or

B. Faith in Christ is necessary to be in
the Church, but faithfulness to Christ

and be glad and give the glory to Him,

fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
1and in Him you have been made
complete, and He is the head over all
rule and authority;
2. Colossians 2:9-10 (Amplified) For in Him
the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead)
continues to dwell in bodily form [giving
complete expression of the divine nature].
And you are in Him, made full and having
come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are
filled with the Godhead — Father, Son and
Holy Spirit — and reach full spiritual
stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and
authority [of every angelic principality and
power]
3. Theion means “that which is

mighty word of power. When He had by
offering Himself accomplished our cleansing
of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at
the right hand of the divine Majesty on high
VIII. The Mystery of Iniquity
1. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12—For the mystery of
lawlessness is already at work; only he who now
restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord
will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an
end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one
whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan,
with all power and signs and false wonders, and with
all the deception of wickedness for those who perish,
because they did not receive the love of the truth so as
to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a
deluding influence so that they will believe what is
false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did
not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be

without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4

the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw
her, I wondered greatly. And the angel said to me,
"Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of
the woman and of the beast that carries her, which
has the seven heads and the ten horns.
2. Daniel 2:44-45—In the days of those
kings the God of heaven will set up a
kingdom which will never be destroyed, and
that kingdom will not be left for another
people; it will crush and put an end to all
these kingdoms, but it will itself endure
forever. Inasmuch as you saw that a stone
was cut out of the mountain without hands
and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the
clay, the silver and the gold
3. Daniel 7:23-25—"Thus he said: 'The
fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the
earth, which will be different from all the
other kingdoms and will devour the whole
earth and tread it down and crush it. 'As for
the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings
will arise; and another will arise after them,
and he will be different from the previous
ones and will subdue three kings.
4. Daniel 7:26-27— 'But the court will sit for
judgment, and his dominion will be taken
away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27

the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom
