Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Jesus came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and preached the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 15:24 Matthew 4:23). The gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). The believing remnant of Israel will inherit the earth and reign with Christ in the kingdom on earth (Revelation 5:10).
Paul did not preach the gospel of the kingdom. Revealed through Paul, is the body of Christ. The body of Christ, the new man, comprised of Jew and Gentile justified freely by the redemption of Christ, is to have position in the heavenly places (1 Corinthians 12:27 Ephesians 2:15 Romans 3:24 Ephesians 2:6).
It is the purpose, and wisdom of God, to gather together in one, in Christ, the remnant of Israel and the body of Christ. God will gather together heaven and earth.
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
That all of believing Israel and the body of Christ will be gathered together is part of the fellowship of the mystery.
Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
It is to manifest the wisdom of God to acknowledge that to Israel was preached the gospel of the kingdom by Jesus and the disciples, but Paul preached the fulness of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:29). Through the Israel of God, the believing remnant, the earth is reconciled, and through the body of Christ the heavens are reconciled.
