The Mystery Hidden at Creation !
Eph 3:3-11
3 How that by revelation he made known
unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge
in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Col 1:26
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Rom 16:25
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
This World was Created upon the foundation of this Mystery of Christ, and so was adam created on the basis of this Mystery, and the Mystery was even hid from him. That this Mystery comprised a Redemptive Purpose from sin is clearly seen from
Eph 3:8-9
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given,
that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Folks, the unsearchable riches of Christ has specifically to do with Salvation from sin.
2 Cor 8:9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet
for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Yes, God Created this World grounded in the fact the unsearchable Riches of Christ would be preached among the Gentiles, which Paul also refers to in
Rom 11:11-12
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be
the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them
the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
The riches being Christ !
Eph 3:8
Now it is true that adam in his created state before the fall was blind to this Mystery and Purpose of Creation !593
