Who was with Paul during his three-year hiatus?
During Paul’s three-year hiatus, he was evidently alone with the Lord in Mount Sinai in Arabia. The context states no human companion accompanied him; instead, the period is described as being with the Lord alone before he returned. This aligns with Galatians chapter 1.
Les teaches that Paul had now finished his three-year hiatus, evidently with the Lord alone down in Mount Sinai in Arabia. The study returns to Galatians chapter 1 and picks up at verse 18. Les also mentions that someone asked him why it took three years, but the context identifies Paul’s company during that hiatus as the Lord alone.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
