What did Scripture foresee about the Gentiles?
Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles, called the heathen, through faith. It preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, promising that in him all nations would be blessed. This reveals God's foreknowledge: He sees the end from the beginning and planned Gentile salvation by faith, not works.
Les teaches from Galatians 3:8 that the Scripture, the Word of God, foresaw that God would justify the heathen through faith. The gospel was preached beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all the nations be blessed." Les emphasizes that God's foreknowledge sees the end from the beginning. He also points out that while some theologians believe Abraham knew the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, nothing in Scripture indicates that. The Old Testament prophets had an inkling that God was going to do something, and from Isaiah especially onward they understood God would have salvation for the Gentiles, but they did not know how.
