The concept of the "unknown" can be seen in various passages and themes throughout Scripture, emphasizing the mystery and majesty of God, as well as the limitations of human knowledge. God's Incomprehensibility The Bible frequently highlights the incomprehensibility of God, underscoring that there are aspects of His nature and plans that remain unknown to human beings. In <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a> , the Lord declares, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." This passage illustrates the vast difference between divine and human understanding, suggesting that certain things about God will always remain unknown to us. Mysteries of the Kingdom Jesus often spoke in parables, which contained truths about the Kingdom of God that were not immediately apparent to all listeners. In <a href="/matthew/13-11.htm">Matthew 13:11</a> , Jesus explains to His disciples, "The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them." Here, the "unknown" refers to spiritual truths that are revealed to some but remain hidden from others, highlighting the selective revelation of divine mysteries. The Unknown God In <a href="/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a> , the Apostle Paul addresses the Athenians at the Areopagus, saying, "For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you." Paul uses the Athenians' acknowledgment of an "unknown god" to introduce them to the one true God, whom they did not yet know. This passage illustrates the human recognition of the divine that exists beyond their understanding and the opportunity for revelation through the Gospel. Human Limitations The Bible acknowledges the limitations of human knowledge and understanding. In <a href="/ecclesiastes/3-11.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:11</a> , it is written, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." This verse reflects the idea that while humans have an innate sense of the eternal, the full scope of God's work remains unknown to them. Faith and the Unknown Faith is often described as trust in what is not seen or fully understood. <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11:1</a> states, "Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." This definition of faith involves embracing the unknown, trusting in God's promises and character even when the details are not fully revealed. The Future and Prophecy The future, particularly concerning end times, is another area where the "unknown" is significant. While the Bible provides prophetic glimpses of future events, the exact timing and details remain unknown. Jesus Himself stated in <a href="/matthew/24-36.htm">Matthew 24:36</a> , "But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This reinforces the idea that certain knowledge is reserved for God alone. In summary, the concept of the "unknown" in the Bible serves to remind believers of the greatness and mystery of God, the limitations of human understanding, and the call to live by faith, trusting in God's revealed truth while acknowledging what remains beyond our grasp.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(a.) Not known; not apprehended.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>UNKNOWN GODun-non', (agnostos theos): In <a href="/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a> (St. Paul's speech in Athens) the American Standard Revised Version reads: "I found also an altar with this inscription, To AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I set forth unto you." the King James Version and the English Revised Version margin translate "to the Unknown God," owing to the fact that in Greek certain words, of which theos is one, may drop the article when it is to be understood. In the present case the use of the article. is probably right (compare <a href="/acts/17-24.htm">Acts 17:24</a>). In addition, the King James Version reads "whom" and "him" in place of "what" and "this." The difference here is due to a variation in the Greek manuscripts, most of which support the King James Version. But internal probability is against the King James Version's reading, as it would have been very easy for a scribe to change neuters (referring to the divine power) into masculines after "God," but not vice versa. Hence, modern editors (except yon Soden's margin) have adopted the reading in the Revised Version (British and American). Paul in Athens, "as he beheld the city full of idols," felt that God was truly unknown there. Hence the altar with the inscription struck him as particularly significant. Some Athenians, at any rate, felt the religious inadequacy of all known deities and were appealing to the God who they felt must exist, although they knew nothing definite about Him. No better starting-point for an address could be wished. What the inscription actually meant, however, is another question. Nothing is known about it. Altars dedicated "to unknown gods" (in the plural) seem to have been fairly common (Jerome on <a href="/titus/1-12.htm">Titus 1:12</a>; Pausanias, i.1, 4; Philaster, Vita Apoll., vi.3), and Blase (Commentary ad loc.) has even suggested that the words in Acts were originally in the plural. But this would spoil the whole point of the speech, and the absence of references to a single inscription among thousands that existed can cause no surprise. Those inscriptions in the plural seem to have been meant in the sense "to the other deities that may exist in addition to those already known," but an inscription in the sing. could not have this meaning. Perhaps a votive inscription is meant, where the worshipper did not know which god to thank for some benefit received. That a slur on all the other Athenian objects of worship was intended is, however, most improbable, but Paul could not of course be expected to know the technical meaning of such inscriptions.
