Why does Les keep going back to Deuteronomy 29 when teaching on the Apostle Paul's revelations?
Deuteronomy 29 is used repeatedly because it encapsulates the secret nature of the Apostle Paul's revelations: truths that were kept hidden and then revealed to him alone by the ascended Christ. It supports the claim that these mysteries were not previously made known and that Christ's ascended words come through Paul.
Les explains that he keeps returning to Deuteronomy 29 because, in his words, "it just says it all" concerning the revelations of the Apostle Paul. Paul claims these things were kept secret and were revealed to him and him alone from the ascended Christ. Les connects this to the biblical word "mystery," meaning a secret that had been kept hidden. He also addresses the objection that this takes away from what Jesus said on earth: he does not take it away, but what Christ said from His ascended place in glory carries more weight for us today than what He said to the Jew under the Law. Everything Christ says from that ascended place is through the Apostle Paul.
