What did Christ do during His three years of earthly ministry and how did Israel respond?
Christ carried out three years of earthly ministry, preaching and proclaiming who He was only to the nation of Israel. Israel's response was to crucify Him. He ascended back to glory, and according to the prophetic program the next event would be wrath and tribulation before His Kingdom.
Les explains that from Abraham until Christ's first advent, God dealt primarily with the nation of Israel. Christ came, brought about His three years of earthly ministry, preaching and proclaiming who He was only to Israel, and they crucified Him. He then ascended back to glory. According to Psalms 2, the next event in the prophetic program would be the wrath and vexation of God, which would be the seven years of tribulation, and then Christ would come and set up His Kingdom. Les points out that the church age is missing from the Old Testament prophetic timeline.
