Does the Old Testament connect prophecy to the Church, the Body of Christ?
No. The Old Testament contains no prophecy, nor any other passage, that connects its prophetic program to the Church, which is His Body. Instead, its prophecies concern Israel, such as Abraham's descendants' 430 years and Daniel's 490 years determined upon Israel.
Les explains that Old Testament prophecy was given to Israel, not the Church. He cites the first real prophecy to Abraham about Israel's slavery and return after 430 years, then Daniel 9's 490 years determined upon Israel, leading to the crucifixion and the seven years of tribulation. He says there is nothing in the Old Testament, prophetic or otherwise, that connects it to the Church, which is His Body. Psalm 2 outlines this Old Testament prophetic program given to the Jew, with Gentiles raging and rulers conspiring.
