What secrets did God reveal to the apostle Paul?
God opened the windows of heaven’s grace through the apostle Paul and revealed to him secrets that had been kept in the mind of God throughout the Old Testament economy. These secrets concern grace now revealed after the Law, in a time when God’s previously hidden purpose is clearly put in place.
Les teaches that Israel was meant to be the light of the Gentiles and God’s vehicle, but Israel rejected it in unbelief and dropped the ball. God then opened the windows of heaven’s grace through the apostle Paul, revealing to him the secrets kept in God’s mind all the way up through the Old Testament economy. Les connects this to Galatians 3: the Law period ran from 1500 B.C. until Paul came along around A.D. 37 or 38, and during that time there was nothing of faith plus nothing—it was all under the Law. Now grace has been revealed and these things are clearly put in place; verse 23 is the last word revealed.
