When was Israel supposed to bring the knowledge of salvation to the Gentiles?
According to the Old Testament program, Israel was to carry the knowledge of salvation to the Gentiles after they had the King and the Kingdom. That timing changed when Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom, and Jesus was crucified, which brought in the Church Age instead.
Les explains that in the Old Testament program, Israel first had to have the King and the Kingdom, and then they would carry out the promises of taking the knowledge of salvation to the Gentiles. However, this was altered when Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom and Jesus was crucified and returned to heaven. Rather than immediately coming after the Tribulation, He would wait 2,000 years while Israel is set aside and the Church Age unfolds. This mystery was not revealed in the Old Testament.
