I think of the word 'supernatural' and also what it means when it is said the 'living word of God' when i think of the mysteries.

The mystery is a thing to interact with.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day
and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,

Daniel was the wisest OT Prophet, yet God kept him in the dark about certain things. The Writer of Revelations was the last one of the 11 to die but they saw the whole big picture. We have access to all they had.

Da:7:28:
Hitherto is the end of the matter.
As for me Daniel,
my cogitations much troubled me,
and my countenance changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
Da:8:27:
And I Daniel fainted,
and was sick certain days;
afterward I rose up,
and did the king's business;
and I was astonished at the vision,
but none understood it.
Da:12:8-9:
And I heard,
but I understood not:
then said I,
O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said,
Go thy way,
Daniel:
for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

A point that should be cleared up before I get to the bulk of your post.

1. The people that were privy to the private teachings knew more than the flock who only heard parables or the temple staff that only heard condemnations. Peter was the witness for the Gospel of Matthew yet he knew less that the writer of Revelations simply because the author of the Gospel of John (the Baptist) and Revelations of John (the Baptist) was writing after all the others had died.

2. Luke also mentions that Jesus explained all parts of the OT that applied to Him. We get to look for that material on our own.

Lu:24:27:
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
De:4:29-31:
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find him,
if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
When thou art in tribulation,
and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the LORD thy God,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;)
he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

3. The writers added more mysteries than they solved, except revelation, that adds info to a lot of OT prophecy, including Ge:3:15 most of all as Re:12 is about that single verse.

4.Moving mountains is one of the things taught in the 1,000 year reign. Charity makes a person equal to a good Samaritan, there are more rare than they are common.

5.If you hear gibberish run, if it is a verse you need to keep reading. Has anybody found all the mysteries that Revelations clears up. Some will have to wait, a child of the light understands most of what they read, a child of the darkness see the book as a big mystery. Only one of them will survive the 7 vials alive.

The 7th trump is what is being referenced so by the end of that same day all the sinners are dead and all the names in Re:20:4 have been read out to the dead are alive and the living are just being gathered.
Re:10:7-9:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound,
the mystery of God should be finished,
as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,
Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel,
and said unto him,
Give me the little book.
And he said unto me,
Take it,
and eat it up;
and it shall make thy belly bitter,
but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
