What did the Lord say he would do with Paul after he left Jerusalem?
The Lord told Paul to depart quickly from Jerusalem because the Jews would not receive his testimony, and He promised to send Paul far away to the Gentiles. This directive came while Paul prayed in the temple and saw the Lord in a trance.
Les explains that Paul recounts his conversion and ministry to the Gentiles before the Jerusalem mob and religious leaders in Acts 22. Paul rehearses that while praying in the temple he fell into a trance and saw the Lord, who told him, "Make haste, get thee out of Jerusalem, for they the Jews will not receive thy testimony concerning me." Paul reminded the Lord that he had imprisoned and beaten believers in every synagogue and had consented to Stephen's death, holding the raiment of those who killed him. Then in verse 21, the Lord said, "Depart, get out of Jerusalem, for I will send you far hence to the Gentiles."
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
