What was included in the Old Testament economy of law?
The Old Testament economy of law included Israel being under the law, along with their temple worship, priesthood, and sacrifices. It was predominantly the economy of law to the nation of Israel, and it has now slipped off the scene because God turned to the Gentiles.
Les explains that the Old Testament was predominantly the economy of law to the nation of Israel, who were under the law with all their temple worship, their priesthood, and their sacrifices. He stresses Pauline teaching for today, yet insists the Old Testament is just as well fitted as the New and that everything in the Old dovetails with the New. But now that God has turned to the Gentile, that economy had to slip off the scene, and something totally different has come. This belongs to the revelation Paul speaks of, the mystery and secrets held in the mind of God but now revealed.
