When did the period of Law begin and end?
The period of Law began approximately 1500 B.C. and ended when the apostle Paul came on the scene around 37 or 38 A.D. Throughout that entire time, there was nothing of faith plus nothing; it was all under the Law, until grace was revealed through Paul.
Les explains that the period of Law lasted from 1500 B.C. until Paul came along in about 37 or 38 A.D. He notes that during that entire time there was nothing of faith plus nothing; it was all under the Law. Israel was to be the light of the Gentiles and the vehicle, but they dropped the ball and rejected it in unbelief. Then God opened the windows of heaven of grace through the apostle Paul, revealing secrets kept in God's mind throughout the Old Testament economy. Now grace has been revealed, and these things are clearly put in place.
