Who was under the law economy in the Old Testament according to Les?
The Old Testament was predominantly under the law economy, and that economy applied to the nation of Israel. Israel was under the law, with its temple worship, priesthood, and sacrifices, until God turned to the Gentile and that economy slipped off the scene.
Les explains that the Old Testament was predominantly under the economy of law to the nation of Israel, who were under the law with all their temple worship, priesthood, and sacrifices. He notes that when God turned to the Gentile, that economy had to slip off the scene, and something totally different came in. He emphasizes Pauline teaching for today, yet insists the Old Testament is just as well fitted as the New and dovetails together.
