hidden since creation On the hole here, it is nothing but your own creation, Not of God.
Eph 3:11 - According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (The future Jesus TO BE).
The "he" here is none other than the One Almighty God and Father and note, it was his purpose, wisdom, plan etc.
Yes, this very ONE that Jesus refers to --> Mark 12:29 - And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD:
John 20:17 I ascend to My Father and Your Father AND to My God and Your God.
(Now according to you, this God mentioned here includes Jesus, 3=1, therefore your trying to get us to swallow, Jesus is ascending partially to himself or 2/3's of a God = Ya WHAT) ?????????????
So are You taking Note of WHO purposed this = The Almighty God and Father OF Jesus.
Equals the likes of Titus 1:2 - In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time eternal;
(This is also known as Glory, the Glory, plan, held via God alone before his plan of the world literally existed with him and the glory Jesus asks for in John 17:5).
So this hidden mystery is none other than referring to a future Jesus whom God will be a Father to and Jesus will be a Son to him.
And the Bible is very clear, this hidden mystery is a plan that was within God and then, the Son became a BEGOTTEN son.
He was begotten AGAIN after his death, meaning for a while God did not have him, just as there was no literal existing Son, Jesus, before his conception.
Hence in the mind and plans of the Almighty God and Father, Jesus was the beginning of the creation of God Rev 3:14, the firstborn of creation Col 1:15, in the mind and plans of God.
