Definition of Ancient Mysteries
Secret rituals of pagan religions, known only to select initiates who had qualified for higher spiritual development. Such mysteries were kept apart from popular worship, and initiates had to take a binding oath of secrecy, so that even today our knowledge of the mysteries is partly conjectural. Typical mystery cults were those of Eleusis in Greece from about 1500 B.C.E., in turn deriving from the mystery religions of ancient Egypt and the mysteries of Mithras, a Persian deity. Traces of Mithraism existed in Britain. Many secret societies in modern times have claimed that their rituals are a descent of an ancient tradition.
I did an exhaustive search to see if this term ANCIENT MYSTERY is found in the bible. Nowhere is this term found either in the Old or New Testaments. But the Word of God uses the term Pagan/Paganism . It's a synonymous term for what is known today as Ancient Mystery.
However I did find a list of Ancient Mystery Religions in the book "ESSENTIALS OF BIBLE HISTORY" pages 564-567 as follows:
1) THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES
2) THE CULT OF DIONYSUS
3) ORPHISM
4) THE CULT OF CYBELE ATTIS
5) SYRIAN MYSTERY CULTS
6) MITHRAISM
7) THE CULT OF ISIS AND SERAPIS
8) EPICUREANISM & STOICISM.

Ancient Mystery Cults: The Real History of Secret Societies"
According to the Sacred Text, the usage of MYSTERY is not a puzzle or a secret knowledge or wisdom that leaves a person in ignorance, but a truth that God reveals to man. It usually refers to something that man would not normally know, but that God in his grace makes known to him cf: Ephesians 3:4-5, Col 1:26, Rev 17:17.
They are secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly.
Dear viewer: If Troy Black was really a true prophet of God as he claims throughout his videos, then the Spirit of God would have revealed to him the above historical and biblical facts concerning Mr. Cahn's claims of unlocking ANCIENT MYSTERIES in his latest book(books) and condemned it for what it really is; A FALLACY!
