The D'ist who think "the rest" is about other Judaistic things needs to show that from elsewhere in the NT (there is no such thing) and also needs to show that the restored Judaistic things is mentioned 'from the beginning of the world.'
But actually they don't, just as Rom 16 is not talking about a mystery from the beginning of time. Both passages are talking about a thing mentioned for several generations now: 'dia stomatos ton hagion ap' aionos autou propheton' (Acts 3:21). Once again the NT is saying that the coming of the Spirit and the eventual NHNE has been expressed all the time as found. This is not a mystery nor hidden. But that they were/are fulfilled in Christ, not Judaism--the law, THAT is the mystery that stumped that generation.
When they could not get it across to followers of Judaism, it was not that it was absent from the prophets or Psalms. It was because of the veil/blindness, 2 Cor 3:14+.
huh?
