Jesus Himself never spoke of the Dispensation of Grace from the Mystery revealed to Paul But He left an opening for it in His words to where it would start and be positioned until the Gentiles come in then the time-line will continue in that part of the scripture He stopped and did not read or proclaimed to the Jews in His Ministry.
The scripture Jesus read from-The Year of the Lord's Favor is He, Jesus rightly divided the scriptures because the dispensational time set by God to be fulfilled at that proper allotted time set by HIM.
The Year of the Lord's Favor
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,----------and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
Luk 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luk 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luk 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
He separated the Dispensations that had been planned since before the world began as explained by Paul about the ministry of the Mystery given him to us ward.
Lets look at another verse dispensationally…..
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born,/ unto us a son is given: /and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Isa 9:7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Now Look God made a promis to Abraham by covenant but He never made the Gentile any promises at all God is obligated to fulfill His promises to Israel yet God is not obligated to the Gentile at ALL. BUT NOW through that secret that the triun God made befor the world begain saw the future and since loving all mankind decided to GIVE the GENTILS that had no promises A FREE GIFT THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SON THE SALVATION WHICH CHRIST HAD BOUGHT WITH HIS BLOOD AT Calvary but in atotally diferent dispensation whereby those that BELIEVED THE FINISHED WORK OF SALVATION THE FORGIVENISS OF SIN BY THE CRUCIFIED SON OF GOD would Become the sons and daughters of GOD through Christ Jesus adopted into the beloved family of the Father in Christ Himself and was given to us the following….
Eph_1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph_2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 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;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9 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:
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,
(Jamieson-Fausset-Brown) Ephesians 3:10
The design of God in giving Paul grace to proclaim to the Gentiles the mystery of salvation heretofore hidden.
now — first: opposed to “hidden from the beginning of the world” (Eph_3:5).
unto the principalities and — Greek adds “the”
powers — unto the various orders of good angels primarily, as these dwell “in the heavenly places” in the highest sense; “known” to their adoring joy (1Ti_3:16; 1Pe_1:12). Secondarily, God’s wisdom in redemption is made known to evil angels, who dwell “in heavenly places” in a lower sense, namely, the air (compare Eph_2:2 with Eph_6:12); “known” to their dismay (1Co_15:24; Col_2:15).
might be known — Translate, “may be known.”
by the church — “by means of,” or “through the Church,” which is the “theater” for the display of God’s manifold wisdom (Luk_15:10; 1Co_4:9): “a spectacle (Greek, ‘theater’) to angels.” Hence, angels are but our “fellow servants” (Rev_19:10).
manifold wisdom — though essentially one, as Christ is one, yet varying the economy in respect to places, times, and persons (Isa_55:8, Isa_55:9; Heb_1:1). Compare 1Pe_4:10, “stewards of the manifold grace of God.” Man cannot understand aright its single acts till he can survey them as a connected whole (1Co_13:12). The call of the Church is no haphazard remedy, or afterthought, but part of the eternal scheme, which, amidst manifold varieties of dispensation, is one in its end.
(Albert Barnes) Ephesians 3:10
To the intent - Greek, “that” Ἵνα Hina. The sense is, that it was with this design, or that this was the purpose for which all things were made. One grand purpose in the creation of the universe was, that the wisdom of God might be clearly shown by the church. It was not enough to evince it by the formation of the sun, the stars, the earth, the seas, the mountains, the floods. It was not enough to show it by the creation of intelligent beings, the formation of immortal minds on earth, and the various ranks of the angelic world. There were views of the divine character which could be obtained only in connection with the redemption of the world. Hence the universe was created, and man was made upon the earth, not merely to illustrate the divine perfections in the work of creation, but in a still more illustrious manner in the work of redemption. And hence the deep interest which the angelic hosts have ever evinced in the salvation of man.
That now - the word “now” - νυν nun - is missing in the Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic; and is omitted by many of the fathers; see Koppe. If it is to be retained, it means that this display is to be made under the gospel. “Now, since the Messiah is come; now, under the Christian dispensation, this revelation is to be made to distant worlds.”
Unto the principalities and powers - To the angelic hosts - the intelligent beings that surround the throne of God; see the notes at Eph_1:21.
By the church - By the incarnation of the Redeemer to save it; by I the mercy shown to it; by the wise arrangement made to recover his people from the fall; and by all the graces and beauties which that redeemed church will evince on earth and in heaven.
The manifold wisdom of God - Literally, “much-variegated.” It means the “greatly-diversified wisdom.” It does not mean merely that there was “great” wisdom, but that the wisdom shown was diversified and varied; like changing, Variegated colors. There was a “beautiful and well-ordered variety of dispensations” toward that church, all of which tended to evince the wisdom of God. It is like a landscape, or a panoramic view passing before the mind, with a great variety of phases and aspects, all tending to excite admiration. In the redemption of the church, there is not merely one form or one phase of wisdom. It is wisdom, ever-varying, ever-beautiful. There was wisdom manifested when the plan was formed; wisdom in the selection of the Redeemer; wisdom in the incarnation; wisdom in the atonement; wisdom in the means of renewing the heart, and sanctifying the soul; wisdom in the various dispensations by which the church is sanctified, guided, and brought to glory. The wisdom thus shown is like the ever-varying beauty of changing clouds, when the sun is reflected on them at evening. Each aspect is full of beauty. One bright; cloud differs in appearance from others; yet all tend to fill the mind with elevated views of God.
(Cambridge Bible) Ephesians 3:10
now] In the great “fulness of the times;” the age of the Gospel.
the principalities and powers] See on Eph_1:21. Here, as there, the reference is to “governments and authorities” in the world of holy Angels. “These things angels covet to look into” (1Pe_1:12); as we find them doing, for example, in the closing visions of Daniel. To their pure and powerful but still finite intelligences the work of man’s Redemption is not only a touching interest, an object of benevolent attention; it is indescribably important, as a totally new and unique revelation of the Mind and Ways of their Lord, and perhaps (though here the hints of Scripture are few and dark) as indicating how their own bliss stands secure.—See some excellent pages on this last subject in The Incarnation of the Eternal Word, by the Rev. Marcus Dods, (1835) pp. 7–25.
in heavenly places] See on Eph_1:3.
might be known] The verb implies the gift of information ab extra. The angelic mind, like the human, needs and is capable of such information.
by the church] Better, through. The means of information to these exalted students is God’s way of redemption and glorification for His saints of our race; His action for and in “the blessed company of all faithful people.” The thought is one to stimulate the feeblest and most solitary Christian; while yet its chief concern is with the aggregate, the community, in which the grace which works freely and primarily in the individual attains its perfect harmony and speaks to the heavenly “watchers” (Dan_4:13, &c.) with its full significance.
the manifold wisdom] Lit., “the much variegated wisdom.” The adjective is stronger (by the element “much,”) than that in 1Pe_4:10 (“manifold grace”). It occurs only here in N.T. The reference probably is to the complicated problem of man’s redemption, met and solved by the “unsearchable riches” of the work of Christ. Alike as a race and as individuals, man presented difficulties innumerable to the question, how shall God be just, and the justifier, and sanctifier, of this race? But every difficulty was, and is, met in “Christ, the Wisdom of God” (1Co_1:24; 1Co_1:30).
Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Rom 16:25 Now to him (The Risen CHRIST JESUS) that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest,[Revealed]
Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [The Rapture]
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
All the Bible is for you BUT it not all about YOU, You just don’t belong in the vast portions of the BIBLE because it wasn’t written to you it was written to the JEWS even the ministry of Jesus in the flesh of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John up to Acts chapter 8 was to and for the Jews only. Yet we can read it for our learning and admonition dispensationally.
We Gentiles belong in that part that was written to us covering ROMANS through PHILEMON ONLY then the rest is for the Jew that get left after THE BODY OF CHRIST IS REMOVED CONCERNING THE RAPTURE OF CHRIST CHURCH.
