Hi , and here is what Eph 3:5 really means !!
The verb MADE KNOWN /GNORIZO is in the AORIST TENSE and in the PASSIVE VOICE and in the Indicative Mood !!
This Greek means it is speaking to Paul in The Dispensation of Grace and is NOT Acts or PENTECOST !!
The PASSIVE VOICE means it is God that is performing the action to Paul in Eph 3:5 !!
And it does not say revealed to the 12 apostles as APOSTLES ALSO means to His MESSINGERS , which is what APOSTLES are called today and PROPHETS means One who speaks a divine message !!
It is OBVIOUS that you will not believe Col 1:25 !!
Show a verse where Peter preached the Gospel of the Grace of God , LOL

All good but that does not negate what Paul actually taught. I believe it is best to let scripture say what it means and mean what it says and Paul taught:
That he and the Apostles and prophets received and taught that the Spirit revealed the mystery.
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;
Paul is NOT contradicting himself he is teaching meat as opposed to milk.
