What Does Ephesians 3:5 Mean?
This mystery 'in other ages was not made known.' It was hidden in former times, glimpsed only in shadow. What God now discloses was, until this moment, kept in His own counsel, awaiting the appointed time of revelation.
Now it is 'revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.' God has chosen messengers and made the truth known through them by the Spirit's work. The unveiling is God's doing from start to finish, and the Spirit is the One who brings the once-hidden plan into the light.
