God wants us to understand the bible. God is a mystery, but Jesus reveals as much about Himself (Jesus is God) as we as mortal humans can handle. Try looking into biblical Typology. Steve Ray's website is the best for this. And no one is better than Dr. Scott Hahn at explaining the book of Revelation.

the Bible was not written in code, nor does it contain some kind of secret messages from God in a hidden code. God's command to the prophet Habakkuk could be applied to every book of the Bible: "Write down the revelation and make it plain" (Habakkuk 2:2).
After all, why did God give His Word, the Bible, to us? He gave it for one reason: so we could understand it. Its truth is so profound that even the most brilliant scholar will never exhaust its meaning—and yet its message is so simple that a child can understand it. God doesn't hide Himself from us; He wants us to know Him and His love. Why, then, would He conceal any part of His truth from us? He wouldn't—and He hasn't.
God didn't make the Bible impossible to understand; the problem is that our hearts and minds are closed. Jesus' rebuke to those who refused to believe what He was telling them could be applied to many today: "Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say" (John 8:43). May this not be true of you.
Instead, ask God to give you a hunger for His Word, and to help you understand it. Then begin reading it for yourself (perhaps starting with one of the Gospels, which tell us about Christ). The psalmist's words can become yours: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105).

There is no mystery associated with the Bible.It is God's Holy Word which has been preserved through the centuries so man can govern his life by it.It is mans instruction manual to a successful life that is pleasing to Jehovah God.God wants us to study it and be familiair with what it contains.2Tim.3:16,17

Well that would be very contradictory seen's how very curious He made us wouldn't it? No I don't think so, Jesus said those who love Him, will seek the truth. The truth is love, love all, and love God. The mysteries are just histories. Hey just made that up myself! Don't steal it.:o]

The Bible doesn't really have any mysteries. Only undiscovered truths. Lovely undiscovered truths.

No. As we are trying to unravel it, we are learning more about it. I believe God wants us to learn as much as we can from it.

No. If it were, untold generations of Jewish and Christian exegetes are all burning in Hell, and anyone now living making any attempt to interpret the Bible is just as damned.

The divine had nothing to do with that book. To find the origins and plagiarism in it is to find the truth, which is always a positive action to the universe.
