pretaining to salvation - even angels long to look into these things....1 peter
Ephesians 3 states that these matters were made known "dia tēs ekklēsias" or "through the church," not by concrete example in creation. That's an impressive feat of quote mining (and of the bible no less!), but sorry, it doesn't say anything about why God made creation. You made that bit up out of thin air. And I'm not going to read 1 Peter just to find yet another equally unimpressive example of quote mining.
