       The Gospel hadn’t been preached in the world before, yet Isaiah prophesied that this mystery of God would in fact be preached. People, which included rulers, would understand God’s plan of salvation. If we turn or tap to the next chapter over, in Romans chapter 16, within Paul’s prayer there is also reference to this—that of the Gospel being preached. He told the Romans that God “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 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith” (Romans 16:25ex-26, ESV). So, Jesus as the Christ was the revelation the people needed to see. He was the mystery God had hidden from people for ages.
