What is the mystery revealed to Paul about Jews in the Body of Christ?
The mystery revealed to Paul is that a Jew loses his identity when he comes into the Body of Christ. Jewish and Gentile believers are all one; at the Rapture, all believers go together, and Jewish believers are not left behind.
Les explains that this is one of the great parts of the mystery now revealed to the Apostle Paul in this letter: the Jew loses his identity when he comes into the Body of Christ. He illustrates it with a Jewish believer who asked at a Minnesota seminar whether, if the Lord came that night, she would be left behind because she was a Jew while Gentiles went in the Rapture. Les answered, 'Heavens no!' If a person is a believer—Jew or Gentile—and is in the Body of Christ, all go together. She was greatly relieved, and Les notes that being Jewish does not make her any different in the Body of Christ. Whether Jews or Gentiles, bond or free, and even nationalistically black, white, red, or yellow, it makes no difference; all are one when they come into the Body of Christ. Les says this will be seen more definitively as they move into Ephesians.
