SECRET ECONOMY
The Secret Economy was used by AE Knoch, founder of Concordant Publishing and of the Concordant Bible, as the name for the secret administration revealed by Paul in Ephesians.
Secret refers to that “which is hidden, kept closed”.
In theological terms, economy is defined as “method of devine administration”.
The Great Secret was made known to Paul alone of all the apostles, by the Spirit of Christ, and revealed in Ephesians.
It consists of three parts:
1) The ecclesia are to be joint enjoyers of the allotment of Christ Jesus.
2) The ecclesia will be joint members of one body..Christ Jesus.
3) The allotment for the ecclesia will be in the celestials (above the heavens).
The latter secret was the first time that anything other than a terrestrial reward was promised.
The prophets made reference to the terrestrial allotment..the Kingdom of God, as did Jesus dduring His ministry.
In Revelations we are told of the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ, in which he will be aided by the 12 apostles.
At this time, all will be revified, all will be reconciled to God, and receive their allotment through their works, and only those declared worthy will administer in the economy.
The ecclesia, revivified in the image of Jesus Christ, will be aiding Him in any way He deems appropriate, while learning how to rule in His manner.
When He turns the Kingdom over to God, He will ascend, accompanied by the ecclesis, into the celestial realm.
There, led by Christ Jesus, the ecclesia will bring order to that kingdom, while subduing the entities that seek to destroy it.
