In its broader sense the Hebrew term sôd (סוד) means a confidential discussion, a secret or plan, a circle of confidants, or council.1 Nearly all scholars now agree that sôd, when used in relationship to God, refers to the heavenly council/sôd of God, which humans may sometimes visit to learn divine mysteries or obtain a prophetic message to deliver to humankind.2
I thought the word itself just meant "secret," not some kind of secret assembly?

P.S. I'm not Mormon, but this kinda bothers me sometimes.
Using the kabbalistic gematria, we have the following result:
s + o + d = 60 + 6 + 4 = 70
y + h + v + h = 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 26
Psalm 25:14 “The sôd of Yhwh is for those who honor him; he reveals his covenant (berît) to them”.
Genesis 17:2 What happens to those with whom Yhvh makes His berit?
“… I… will multiply thee exceedingly”.
What would happen if we multiply “sod” by “Yhvh”, that is, 70 x 26 = 1820.
What took place in the year 1820? The sod of Yhvh was newly revealed to a man (Amos 3:7) by covenant.
