Ephesians3:5
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 .
In the times before Christ's coming in the Flesh.
That the Gentiles should be called was formerly known and foretold, but not as since, viz. as to the time and manner of it, and the means whereby it should be effected.
New Testament Prophets, ch. 4.11. Rom. 12.6. and 1 Cor. 14.13.
Either by the Spirits being poured out on the Gentiles, it was known that they should be Co-heirs with the Believing Iews; or rather by the Spirit instructing the Apostles and Prophets, and immediately acquainting them with this mystery.
