Does God still make any reference to the Jew or the Old Testament in Paul's prison epistles?

Les teaches that in Paul's prison epistles, God is no longer making any reference to the Jew or to the Old Testament. He explains that this does not mean the Old Testament or the Gospels are to be discarded, but that the Jewish program of the four Gospels has been set aside. Believers should move from the four Gospels into Paul's writings, recognizing the unfolding and progressive revelation of God's purposes, and this is for His own purposes.
