What were the Jews in the Old Testament constantly told to look for?
In the Old Testament, the Jews were continually directed to look for salvation—both the salvation of Israel and the salvation of the individual. Salvation means being saved from something, and this Gospel is that salvation, delivering from eternal doom.
Les teaches that the Jews in the Old Testament were constantly told to be looking for salvation—the salvation of Israel and the salvation of the individual. He explains that salvation is a Scriptural word, not a denominational one, and it means to be saved from something. Using the analogy of a man about to go broke whose rich uncle dies and wills him money, Les says that estate was his salvation because it saved him from bankruptcy. In the same way, believers are saved from an eternal doom, and this Gospel is their salvation. He also warns that if you have kept in memory what was preached, lest you believe in vain, know what you believe.
