When did God begin His earthly ministry to the Jew?
God began His earthly ministry to the Jew in 2000 B.C., when He called Abraham and brought forth the nation of Israel. From that point, His earthly program centered exclusively on Israel, with only two exceptions, as Scripture shows. This marked the start of His earthly dealings.
Les explains that God's earthly history centers on the nation of Israel, beginning with the call of Abraham in 2000 B.C. He pulled off the little nation of Israel and began His earthly ministry only to the Jew, with two exceptions. Les emphasizes that Christ did not minister to Gentiles; He ministered only to the nation of Israel, and he points to Matthew 10 to back that up. The heavenly connection, by contrast, was revealed to the Apostle Paul in the mysteries, the Body of Christ, after Israel rejected everything and God turned to the Gentiles.
