Was the 2,000-year interruption between Israel and the Church Age revealed in the Old Testament?

No, the 2,000-year interruption between Israel and the Church Age was not revealed in the Old Testament. Scripture gives no indication of this period when God would set Israel aside. It remained a secret, part of what God had not yet made known.

Les explains that the Old Testament program pointed to Israel having the King and the Kingdom, and then taking the knowledge of salvation to the Gentiles. But when Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom, Jesus was crucified and went back to heaven, not to immediately come after the Tribulation, but to wait 2,000 years while Israel is set aside and the Church Age runs. That interruption was not in the Old Testament; nothing indicated 1,900 and some years when God is not dealing with Israel, because God had not revealed it yet. It is part of the secret He had not given any indication of.
