No but I am thinking that everything Paul taught can be found within the scriptures. Paul may have had extra details, but the core doctrine can be found in the scriptures. Paul taught from the Old Testament.
I can show an example in Isaiah 63, even though it is also referring to the second coming of Jesus, but it does go over the blinding of Israel until the second coming.
Isaiah 63
But there are other passages as well, Ezekiel 36 refers to the Jews returning to their land in unbelief.
Now Paul has added detail, that it will be until the fullness of the gentiles But the concept of Israel rejecting their messiah, turning themselves into enemies of the gospel, and then they cry out for Him to return... that's in the Old Testament.
c'mon dude, very next verse tells you this was stuff in the scriptures already.
Romans 16
This isn't anything specific, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, has been hidden in the Old Testament since Genesis 3:15. You get more and more detail over the course of the bible, you get some in more of the passages of Moses, even passages referring to the 2nd coming, like Numbers 24, and Deuteronomy 30.
Think about this from Deuteronomy 30 for instance
This sounds so familiar or it should
Oh yeah... Ezekiel 36
Anyway, the Messiah is all over the old testament, sometimes in ways that you need the Holy Spirit to recognize.
Okay this is just.. lazy. 1 Corinthians 2:9 literally says "as it is written" Did you just look up the word "mystery" from every one of Paul's letters and post them?
Isaiah 64
Paul was literally quoting Isaiah. Yes the mystery is hidden but it is hidden in scripture. When Jesus was resurrected what'd He do with His disciples? He showed them in scripture all these things that had been fulfilled, all the instances referring to Him having to suffer, like in Isaiah 53, and Daniel 9.
Admittedly, Paul has extra detail here, the resurrection is taught in the Old Testament, but what about the people who are still alive when Jesus came? That's the thing Paul reveals.
But let's look at a few passages
Isaiah 26:16-21
A bonus is that this also teaches a pre-wrath rapture (during a time of birth pains and trouble, but to hide from the Indignation, followed by a description of the 2nd and 3rd bowl/vial judgements).
Daniel 12
Same timing here, during a time of trouble they'll be delivered, and there will be a resurrection, and those of the wise, will shine like the stars, indicating a change. Paul interprets that change to be literal. So what Paul did was see the revelation in scripture, and God revealed a little more to him. It's progressive revelation, not something totally new, but building on what's already there with extra detail.
We've already discussed how Messianic prophecy has been hidden throughout the bible, and revealed in light of the Gospel.
I see a lot of teachers teaching Jesus in the Old Testament, the question is, why don't you see Him there? Why do you unhitch from the Old Testament?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
(until: Matthew 13:13-15 = Isaiah 6:9-13)
(blind: Matthew 15:12-14, John 9:39-41)
(not blind: Matthew 13:10-12, Matthew 13:16-17)
1 Corinthians 2:7-10 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:[8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.[10] But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Isaiah 64:4-5 From of old we have not heard,
neither have our eyes seen a God beside Thee, and Thy works which Thou wilt perform to them that wait for mercy.[5] For these blessings shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember Thy ways: behold, Thou wast angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred.LXX
This is the family of Israel.
You couldn't find these
things in the OT?
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the
obedience of faith:
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Ephesians 3:4-6 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)[5] Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;[6] That
the Gentiles should be fellowheirs and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Colossians 1:26-27 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:[27] To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Isaiah 11:10 takes place after Armegeddon:
Isaiah 11:4-10 [4] but He shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth. And He shall smite the earth with the word of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He destroy the ungodly one.[5] And He shall have His loins girt with righteousness, and His sides clothed with truth.
[6] And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.[7] And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.[8] And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.[9] And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any one on my holy mountain: for the whole world is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas.[10] And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall arise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations (ελπιούσι) trust, and His rest shall be (τιμη) glorious.
Revelation 19:15 And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Disagree, as Isaiah is not teaching everything in Chronological order by any means. It's all things Jesus has done or will do, but not set in time. It is referenced in the New Testament as something being fulfilled
Matthew 12:18-21
Isaiah 11 is not Isaiah 42.
Isaiah 11:4-10... fulfilled in the endtimes.
Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and
He that shall arise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations (ελπιούσι) trust, and His rest shall be (τιμη) glorious.
Revelation 2:27 And He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father.
Revelation 19:15 And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and
He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Isaiah 42:1-7 was fulfilled in His Disciples of Galilee.
Isaiah 42:1-7
Jacob is My servant, I will help him. Israel is My chosen, My soul has accepted him. I have put My Spirit upon Him, He shall bring forth judgment to the nations.[2] He shall not cry nor lift up His voice, nor shall His voice be heard without.[3] A bruised reed shall He not break and smoking flax shall He not quench, but He shall bring forth judgment to truth.[4] He shall shine out and shall not be discouraged until He have set judgment on the earth, and in His name shall the nations trust.[5] Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven and established it, who settled the earth and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it and spirit to them that tread on it.[6] I the Lord God have called Thee in righteousness, and will hold Thine hand and will strengthen Thee. And
I have given Thee for the Covenant of a race, for a light of the nations.[7]
To open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.LXX
(
Matthew 12:17-21,
Fulfilled in Matthew 4:12-17)
Because Jesus was ministering to Gentiles as well as Judah. Remember the Canaanite woman in Matthe 15? The Roman centurion in Matthew 8?
Jesus in Luke 4 even gave the example of 2 gentiles that were blessed by the Lord, the widow that Elijah stayed with, and Naaman the Syrian.
The Gospel was ALWAYS going to go to the gentiles. This was not something new that Paul added.
Matthew 15:21-28 Then Ιησους went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.[22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.[23] But he answered her not a word. And His Disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.[24] But he answered and said,
I am not sent but unto the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel.
"Of Canaan" doesn't mean a Hamitic-Canaanite... it's a nation-status, not a racial term. The woman knew her scriptures, and even worshipped Him. And she'd been called a dog by the Judaeans, which makes her an Ephriamite who'd moved from Samaria... since that's where that slander came from. Remember that
the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel are scattered into all nations? Or did you think that Matthew 15:24 was just tossed out there and immediately rescinded?
Paul referenced this part of Isaiah as well
Romans 15:9-12
Paul was not bringing new doctrine he was teaching revealed doctrine that was in the scriptures, he taught from the Old Testament, and that's amazing that he could preach Christ entirely from the Old Testament and even Jews who were knowledgeable of old testament scripture could verify what Paul taught in the scriptures, and come to faith.
Paul was not a gnostic teaching secret doctrines whispered to him by a spirit.
Paul was an old school pastor teaching from the Word of God.
[Psalm 18 For the end, a Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord; the words which he spoke to the Lord, even the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said:
Psalms 18:47-50 It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;[48] my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.[49]
Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and sing to Thy name.[50] God magnifies the deliverances of his king, and deals mercifully with David his anointed and his seed for ever.LXX
?... ...(Romans 15:9-12)... ...?
Deuteronomy 32:41-43 For I will sharpen My sword like lightning, and My hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to My enemies, and will
recompense them that hate Me.[42] I will make My weapons drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, it shall glut itself with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of their enemies that rule over them.[43] Rejoice, ye heavens, with Him, and let all the angels of God worship Him;
rejoice ye Gentiles, with His people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in Him. For He will avenge the blood of His sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to His enemies and will reward them that hate Him: and the Lord shall purge the land of His people.LXX
(Deuteronomy 18:18-19, John 12:48-50)...
definitely endtimes.

and Psalms 117.

a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, and cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.[18]
We have conceived, O Lord, because of Thy fear, and have been in pain and have brought forth the breath of Thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.[19] The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.[20] Go, My people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.[21] For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from his holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.LXX

Isaiah 66:6-8 A voice of a cry from out of [the] city; a voice from out of [the] temple, [the] voice of [the] Lord recompencing a recompense to the adversaries.[7] Before her travailing to give birth, before [the] coming of the misery of the pangs, she fled and gave birth to a male.[8] Who heard such? and who has seen thus?

travailing in birth and pained to be delivered.[3] And there appeared another wonder in Heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of Heaven, and did cast them to the Earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne.[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
