What was God's prophetic program for Israel after the king and kingdom were established?
God's prophetic program was to use the nation of Israel, after the king and kingdom were established, to bring salvation and the knowledge of Jehovah to the Gentiles. Once her Messiah was in place as King, Israel could have brought the Gentiles to a knowledge of her God, but this program was rejected.
Les explains that God was going to use the nation of Israel, after the king and the kingdom were established, to bring salvation and the knowledge of their Jehovah to the Gentiles. This was the prophetic program, which, as Les emphasizes, Israel later rejected. He also stresses that everything moves along through time according to the prophetic program. Turning to Isaiah chapter 42, Les says Israel, once her Messiah was in place as the king, could have had the opportunity to bring the Gentiles to a knowledge of her God. He reminds his students that God was dealing with the Jew only at that point in time.
