What did the Old Testament program say would happen after Israel rejected the Messiah?

Les explains that according to the Old Testament program, not long after Israel rejected the Messiah, wrath and vexation would come, and then the King would come. The believers understood this, so they were looking at the Kingdom just over the horizon. That is why they were willing to sell property, turn it into cash, and bring it to the apostles' feet: in the Kingdom there would be no poverty, and everyone would have everything. The more the apostles preached the Kingdom, the more Jews would be brought in as believers, and the faster the King would come. But Les points out that little did they know it would all come to nothing. Later, many at Jerusalem were poor because they had sold their property, cashed everything in, and the kitty ran dry, leaving them destitute.
