“Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:”
The mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints — mystērion (mystery, hidden counsel) was concealed through ages (aiōn, ages of creation), but now (nyn) revealed. The revelation is to 'his saints' (hagioi autou): believers are mystery-recipients. The temporal contrast (hidden then, revealed now) emphasizes eschatological inauguration: the age of revelation has dawned.
