When did the service of God mentioned in Romans 9:4 begin?
The service of God began when God gave the tabernacle to Moses and set up the priesthood with Aaron as high priest. It was part of the law system, including worship, sacrifices, and feast days that pictured the coming Redeemer.
Les explains that the service of God mentioned in Romans 9:4 began when God gave the tabernacle to Moses and then established the priesthood with Aaron as the high priest. He notes this service was all part and parcel of the system of law, which was more than just the Ten Commandments. It included how the priests operated, how the tabernacle and later the temple were set up, how sacrifices were offered, and the setting up of feast days throughout the religious calendar year. Les teaches that all of this was indicative and looked forward to the coming Redeemer and the plan of salvation believers experience today.
