When did Israel lose the Temple, the city, and their homeland?
Israel lost the Temple, the city, and their homeland in about 70 A.D. After rejecting him, they were then dispersed into every nation on earth and placed in spiritual blindness, sharing the same position as the rest of the Gentile world.
Les explains that the nation of Israel was instructed and nurtured through the Old Testament under the Law and the prophecies but rejected him. They were dispersed back into the mainstream of humanity from which they were called, not to evangelize as God intended, but to be placed in spiritual blindness, in the same position as the Gentile world. About 70 A.D. they lost the Temple, the city, and their homeland, and they were dispersed into every nation on earth. Some thirty years before that, Paul was called as the progenitor of the Gospel of Grace and the calling out of a Gentile body of Christ, and when that body is complete, the meeting in the air follows.
