In the context of the Bible, "disclosing" refers to the act of revealing or making known something that was previously hidden or unknown. This concept is significant in Scripture, as it pertains to the revelation of divine truths, the unveiling of God's will, and the manifestation of spiritual mysteries.

Divine Revelation

The Bible frequently speaks of God disclosing His will and purposes to humanity. This is often accomplished through prophets, visions, and the Scriptures themselves. In the Old Testament, God disclosed His laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai, as seen in Exodus 20. The prophets, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah, were also recipients of divine disclosures, tasked with communicating God's messages to the people of Israel.

In the New Testament, the ultimate disclosure of God's nature and plan for salvation is found in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:1-2 states, "On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. But in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe." Jesus is the embodiment of God's disclosure, revealing the Father to humanity and fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament.

Spiritual Mysteries

The New Testament also speaks of the disclosure of spiritual mysteries, particularly through the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. The Apostle Paul often refers to the mystery of the Gospel, which was once hidden but is now revealed to the saints. In Ephesians 3:3-5 , Paul writes, "that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets."

Personal Revelation

On a personal level, the concept of disclosing is also relevant to the believer's relationship with God. Through prayer, meditation on Scripture, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, individuals can experience personal revelations of God's will for their lives. James 1:5 encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, stating, "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

The Role of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the process of disclosing divine truths to believers. Jesus promised that the Spirit would guide His followers into all truth. In John 16:13 , Jesus says, "However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come." The Holy Spirit illuminates the Scriptures, helping believers understand and apply God's Word to their lives.

Final Disclosure

The Bible also speaks of a future disclosure, when all things will be revealed at the end of the age. In 1 Corinthians 4:5 , Paul writes, "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God." This final disclosure will reveal the true nature of every person's heart and deeds, culminating in God's ultimate judgment and the establishment of His eternal kingdom.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Disclose.312. anaggello -- to bring back word, announce
