[1] See Note on VII.B.1. It may be necessary to point out that although the inclusion of the Gentiles among God's people is revealed in the Tanach (Old Testament) as indicated above, what the Apostle Paul calls "the mystery of the Church" has only been revealed in the New Testament (B'rit Hadashah).
