Is the church age mentioned in Old Testament prophecy?
No. The prophetic time dealing with Israel never mentions the church age. There is not a word about the age of grace, nor about God going to Gentiles to call out a multitude of people for His name. It is totally silent.
Les explains that all through the prophetic time when God is dealing with Israel, the church age is something never mentioned. There is not a word about the age of grace, nor about Him going to Gentiles to call out that multitude of people for His name; it is totally silent. Israel's history ran on a distinct timetable—430 years from Abraham's call to the exodus, 490 years from one temple to the next, 490 years from Daniel's prophecy to Christ's appearance on Palm Sunday. But the age of grace is an undetermined period, with no time element ever mentioned.
