What is the unpardonable sin that Israel committed?
The unpardonable sin Israel committed was rejecting the Father, rejecting the Son, and then rejecting the Holy Spirit. This final rejection, following the stoning of Stephen, marked a turning point where Israel fell out of God's promised program, and the Gentiles became ascendant, leading to the Body of Christ.
Les explains that Israel committed the unpardonable sin by rejecting the Father, the Son, and then the Holy Spirit. After the stoning of Stephen, this rejection caused Israel to fall out of all the things God had been promising, and the Gentiles began to make an ascendancy as the Body of Christ came in. Les notes that for the past 2,000 years, the Jew has gone through suffering and turmoil, but when this age ends and the Millennial reign begins, Israel will come into God's goodness and grace. He also highlights the transitional aspect of Acts: after Stephen's stoning comes Saul's conversion, Peter fades from the record after Acts 10, and the Gentiles ascend as the Body of Christ comes in.
