Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 3:9

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 :

All those to whom the Apostle was sent.

Or to enlighten them: i. e. Ministerially, Act. 26.18. as to enlighten them principally belongs to Christ, Ioh. 1.9.

Or communication of the mystery, viz. concerning the Salvation of the Gentiles without Circumcision, or the works of the Law which God now made known by Paul's Ministry contrary to what the Iews Believed.

Not revealed to Men as to the circumstances and manner of it, but hid in the mind and purpose of God, see the like, ch. 1.9.

This may be understood either of the first Creation, or the second, or immediately of the first, and by that of the second; as God created all things at first, (and so both Iews and Gentiles) and gave them their Being by Christ, (Ioh. 1.3) so he recreates, regenerates, and gives them a new Being by Christ, that they may be of the same Body under him; see the like, 2 Cor. 4.6.
