Why did God's prophetic time clock stop after Christ's crucifixion?
God's prophetic clock stopped because Israel continued in rejection after Christ was crucified, bringing the Jew-only prophetic program to a halt. Then prophecy ceased, and God opened the Age of Grace, revealing the mysteries that had been kept secret in the Old Testament.
Les explains that prophecy had run its course: Christ came according to prophecy, was rejected, and was crucified. Because Israel continued in rejection, the prophetic program that was Jew only came to a screeching halt. God's time clock stopped, prophecy stopped, and God opened a whole new vista of Scripture—the mysteries. Paul writes in Romans 16:25 about the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. So for almost two thousand years, the world has not been in the prophetic program but in the Age of Grace, the revelation of the mysteries, things kept secret in the Old Testament. There was no Old Testament concept of Gentiles being brought into a relationship with the Almighty God.
