What did Old Testament prophecy say would happen before Israel received the King and the Kingdom?
Old Testament prophecy foretold that the coming Christ would be Israel's King, but before Israel could receive Him and the Kingdom, the nation would first have to pass through the tribulation. The Old Testament prophets consistently presented that sequence, as seen in Psalms 2, Joel 2, and Zechariah 14.
Les teaches that the Old Testament promises and program never considered the outcalling of the Church; God had kept it secret. All Old Testament prophecies spoke of Christ coming to be Israel's King, and Israel would have to go through the tribulation, and then they could have the King and the Kingdom. He says all the Old Testament prophecies are lined up with that timeline, citing Psalms 2, Joel 2, and Zechariah 14. But Israel rejected the King, so the tribulation did not come in, and they did not get the Kingdom.
