What does Les say about the opinion held by about 90 percent of Christendom?
About 90 percent of Christendom, including Protestantism and the Catholic Church, holds that since Israel killed her Messiah, God put Israel out of His mind and transferred all Old Testament promises for Israel to the church. But Scripture contradicts that view.
Les teaches that when he uses the word Christendom, he means any organization, denomination, or group that ascribes at least part of its belief to the Bible. He says about 90 percent of Christendom—including all of Protestantism, the Catholic Church, and others in that ballpark—are of the opinion that since Israel killed her Messiah, God literally put Israel out of His mind and transferred all the Old Testament promises given to Israel to the church. But Les emphasizes that the Bible flies in the face of that thinking. He then turns to 2 Samuel chapter 7 to show that Israel is not there by accident but under the directive of a sovereign God, reminding his audience that God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants.
