Hi everyone,

Could someone please give me some insight into this verse. I will give 3 translations....i can see it is talking about the revealing of the mystery of Christ but what does it mean by  "be made known to the powers in the heavens"?


KJV
(Eph 3:10)  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,


CLV
(Eph 3:10)  that now may be made known to the sovereignties and the authorities among the celestials, through the ecclesia, the multifarious wisdom of God,

YLV
(Eph 3:10)  that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places , through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,


Some insight from you will help.

God Bless
Sandie

Hi Sandie,

Eph 3:10  that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. (rsv)

1Pe 1:12  To them it was revealed that not to themselves, but to us, they ministered the things which are now reported to you by those who have preached the gospel to you in the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

It sounds like to me that the principalities and powers in the heavenly places or angels, learn the truth from hearing the Word preached on earth.

Eph 3:8  To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
v. 9  and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;

That just how I see it, interesting though  :)

mercy, peace, and love

KAT,
Here are some other scriptures i have found which i beleive support this train of thought:

(1Co 4:9) For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
Heb 1:5) For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 

1Pe 3:22) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

(1Co 6:3) Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

(Heb 1:4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.



As Jesus Christ knows not when He will come again, only the Father knows:

((Mat 24:36)  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Then it is through His revelation to us that the angels see the mystery?

God Bless

I think you are right.

Rom 16:25  Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages

Eph 3:4  When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Eph 3:5  which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
Eph 3:6  This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Eph 6:19  and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

Col 1:26  the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.
Col 1:27  To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Col 1:28  Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

Col 4:3  At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison--

It seems like God kept the gospel/truth hidden and a mystery from the creation, until Christ came and revealed it.  It looks like the heavenly being were no exception, and they are learning how God's plan is being worked out, by Christ and those that preach the truth after Him.

mercy, peace, and love
