What did Satan do when God first revealed His redemption plan?
As soon as God revealed even the embryonic part of His plan of redemption, Satan kicked into high gear and turned everything loose on the special nation through whom that redemption would come. This is why the Jews have suffered so much throughout history.
Les explains that after 2000 years of God dealing patiently with early people, God chose one man of faith to make a whole group of promises and covenants, bringing forth a special race through whom He would work a plan of salvation. Just as soon as God revealed even the embryonic part of that plan of redemption, the devil kicked into high gear. Les says that is the basic reason the Jews have suffered so much: the devil turned everything loose on them as soon as God revealed this special nation would bring about redemption.
