The studies from A Journey Unto Revelations' End are the record of a search for the apostle Paul's lost revelation. The collection in the manuscript recounts pivotal points in a quest for understanding within scripture and through experience. They focus on Paul's revelation of the mystery from the ascended Lord Jesus Christ and draw from all scripture to arrive at an understanding of how this mystery fulfills the word of God and the aspirations of mankind. The studies from the manuscript synthesize understandings from the Eastern customs of that day, biblical Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, biblical astronomy, early church and ancient history. Each chapter is an individual study. As such the studies are woven into a tapestry of our hope in the one new man in Christ. In their scope, the studies from A Journey Unto Revelations' End give an insightfully fresh look into the apostle Paul's glorious revelation of the great mystery and, in the end, will strengthen faith, hope and love for the seeking reader.

In the century after Jesus Christ had come, and Peter and Paul had preached their gospels, the vessels of the new holy temple of the Lord were hidden in a milieu of man's fear and doubtful reasonings. During the next centuries these vessels were buried in layers of religious conflict. Other vessels were now being fashioned by men's hands and they were being given the names of the former holy vessels. Those that resisted were maligned, driven from their communities, and often martyred. Afterwards the western world entered the dark ages. With increasing frequency through recent centuries, some of these holy vessels have been unearthed and people of faith have begun a reassessment of Christianity's roots.

The primary thesis of the manuscript is that there are two differing groupings in the body of Christ. They are not the more commonly considered groupings of Jew and Gentile since the apostle Paul made it clear that there was no longer differentiation between Jew and Gentile in the church of God. The two groupings are the figurative masculine and the figurative feminine. Both Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul likened the relationship of the groups to that of a betrothal and marriage. These two groupings are classified respectively as the saints and the faithful in Christ Jesus by the apostle Paul in his salutation to the church in Ephesus. These groupings may not be presently recognized in the current church yet they were the foundation for the revelation of the mystery of Godliness in the churches that the apostle Paul founded.

The metaphorical groupings of masculine from before the foundations of the earth and feminine from the foundations of the earth as sons and daughters comprise the one body of Christ and will be the foundation in the coming manifestation of the mystery of Godliness where upon the power of their perfect union will finally be accomplished.
