The mystery was hid in God before it was revealed to Paul (Ephesians 3:9), and therefore, could not have been made known beforehand. That Jesus was saviour of the world could not have been according to mystery, so therefore, it was prophecy. In prophecy, Isaiah 52:10 declared his salvation unto the world, as well as in Genesis 12:3, Psalm 72:17, and Psalm 98:2-3.
Paul not only preached mystery, but the law and prophets (Romans 16:25-26). In Acts 13:47, Paul cited Isaiah 49:6, and said they were commanded to go unto the Gentiles, which was according to the purpose of God in bringing salvation to the Gentiles.
