The Body of Christ was unknown and not
foreseen by the prophets in the Old Testa-
ment times.

It was a: ". . . . .mystery, which from the
beginning of the ages hath been hidden in
God, who created all things by Jesus Christ,
To the intent that now, unto the principal-
ities and powers in heavenly places, might
be known by the church the manifold
wisdom of God," Ephesians 3:9-10
