What does the mystery reveal about the Gentiles' position with Israel's God?

The mystery reveals that Gentiles are fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of the promise, brought into a privileged position with Israel’s God in the body of Christ. This was hid in God from the beginning of the age and now made known, not only to Israel but to all men.

Les teaches that another aspect or revelation of the mystery is that Israel is going to be spiritually blinded for almost two thousand years, while the Gentiles come into a privileged position with Israel’s God in the form of the body of Christ. The mystery was hid in God from the beginning of the world or age, and it is His prerogative to keep things secret if He wants to. Paul was made a minister of this message according to the gift of God’s grace and the effectual work of His power, to make all men see the fellowship of the mystery—not just Israel or just Gentiles, but the whole human race. The Gentiles are fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of promise.
