7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence].
8 None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

(MY NOTE: Corinthians is written to believers [1 Cor 1:2] Those already baptized with Christ's salvation sealing eternally indwelling Holy Spirit [vs 2-6].
Parsing vs 7; A God hidden up lifting mystery/secret being revealed.
Parsing vs 8, If the wicked spiritual powers & principalities in the heavenly (supernatural) places [Eph 6:12]. Would have understood what the outcome of crucifying the Lord Jesus would bring [complete defeat]. They never would have allowed Christ's crucifixion to happen.
Praise be to God the Father & our Lord, Jesus the Christ. AMEN & Amen.
