It has to do with those that were written into the Book Of Life at the foundation of the world.
To them it is given to know the mysteries.
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
The word 'wonder' in that verse is the same as worship:
G2296
θαυμάζω
thaumazō
thou-mad'-zo
From G2295; to wonder; by implication to admire: - admire, have in admiration, marvel, wonder.

ELECT, truth lies exclusively within the grammatical structure of the text. If you want to know the truth of any text first find what they text says, not what may lie between the lines. This is nothing more that subjectivism. If we submit to a subjectivist approach to the text then anything the imagination of man can connect to the text becomes an acceptable interpretation. We are NEVER allowed to approach any text of scripture in this way nor are we free to assign just any interpretation to a text that strikes our fancy. Contrary to popular opinion, one cannot make scripture say just anything one wants it to say. The Bible is an exclusively divine document that represents the mind of God and it will only say what God has intended it to say, nothing more and nothing less. Anything else is a perversion of the text.

But this is a claim anyone can make, including false teachers. In fact they make claims like this all the time.
"Hey, I have a secret insight into this passage. Don't take it literally, trust my insights."
But the berean should question this as ask the teacher to prove what he says by scripture. Do you not agree?

Job 29:1-4King James Version (KJV)
29 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
what was one of those secret ?
Job 26:1King James Version (KJV)
26 But Job answered and said,
Job 26:7King James Version (KJV)
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Did you know you just quoted Zophar the Naamathite who God rebuked as not having knowledge? If you really had this secret insight, you'd know that God doesn't start speaking until much later in Job, and these early chapters are Job's counselors who are speaking without wisdom and knowledge.
Elect, how ironic is it you have quoted a man deemed by God not knowing the truth?
Or let me guess. You've been given secret insights that Zophar really did have wisdom??

Job 42:7 After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.
