What plan did God announce after 2,000 years of waiting for the early people to obey?
God announced a new plan: He would take one man in whom He found a particle of faith, make him promises and covenants, bring forth a special race distinct from all other nations, and work the plan of salvation through that people.
Les explains that for 2,000 years God dealt patiently with those early people, offering restoration and reconciliation if they would bring a blood sacrifice and obey, as Abel did and Cain rejected. Finally God said He would do something still different: take one man with a particle of faith who would obey Him, make him a whole group of promises and covenants, bring out of him a special race different from all other nations, and work a plan of salvation through that race. As soon as God revealed even the embryonic part of that plan, the devil kicked into high gear, which is why the Jews have suffered so much.
