We find in the NT the mystery of
1) the death of Christ (1Co 2:1),
2) the change that will take place at the resurrection (1Co 15:51),
3) the plan of God by which a remnant of both Jews and Gentiles, after a period of disobedience
by both, will by his mercy be included in the kingdom (Ro 11:25),
4) the Incarnation (1Tim 3:16),
5) God's purpose to sum up all things in Christ (Eph 1:9), especially to include both Jews and
Gentiles in the NT church (Eph 3:3-6). Could you really not know that in Genesis, we see how from the first blood sacrifice was asked for and salvation for us was not planned? That the Messiah was not predicted? They were given atonement from the beginning that became salvation at the resurrection, that is clear throughout OT scripture. Think! of all the scriptures telling of Christ, even giving the details of the town Christ would live in. Christ and salvation is a major part of OT scripture.
Perhaps you could show, for example, where 2) and 4) are found in the OT.
