What did Paul do for three years in the desert after his conversion?
After his conversion, the Apostle Paul went out to a three-year seminary training in the desert. Following that period, the Gospel of the Grace of God came forth. God then began calling out a new group, the Church, or the Body of Christ, which was predominantly Gentile but included some Jewish adherents.
Les explains that from that point on, the Apostle Paul went out to a three-year seminary training in the desert, and then the Gospel of the Grace of God came out. This was not limited to Gentiles, though earlier the calling was probably Jew only with some Gentile exceptions. Now God is pulling out another group, the Church, or the Body of Christ, which is not exclusively Gentile but mostly Gentile. Les contrasts two groups: Israel, which goes out into the nations in dispersion until the present day, and the Body of Christ, a unique group waiting for the end of its period of human history, the outcalling or the rapture. At that time God will again deal with Israel for seven years, followed by the Second Coming.
