The Greek word for "secret" means: "hidden", "hidden away, secret, stored up" (Strong's Concordance G614, "apokruphos"). This suggests that God sees everything ( Proverbs 15:3) and can reveal it as He pleases.
Proverb 15: 3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
So if a person does something sinful, wicked or deceitful, then God can bring it to light to others such as David's and Bathsheba's adultery ( 2 Samuel 11:9-10); hiding God's Law among rubbles in The Temple ( 2 Kings 22); or in modern times God's revealing of peoples' true, rich history (for example, aboriginal people throughout the world wrongfully made to look primitive and unintelligent despite their rich history and contributions to the world).
2 Kings 22:8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2 Kings 22:10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2 Kings 22:11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
2 Kings 22:12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2 Kings 22:13 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
