How does recognizing the Abrahamic covenant as Jew-only resolve biblical controversies?
Recognizing the Abrahamic covenant as Jew-only resolves controversies and misunderstandings because everything God was doing in that setting operated under His covenant promises to Abraham, which were for the Jew. It clarifies that 'He came unto his own' meant the Jew, and shows the kingdom's physical, political aspect must come together with its spiritual requirement of new birth.
Les teaches that this truth answers all the controversies and misunderstandings: when you realize everything God is doing is under the covenant promises He made with Abraham, and that covenant was Jew only, the biblical picture becomes clear. He points to John's Gospel, where Jesus came unto his own—the Jew—and his own received him not. Les also explains that the kingdom has an introduction of the physical, literal, political aspect, granting peace and safety to the Jewish people, but it also has a spiritual side, because Jesus told Nicodemus that except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingdom. The two must come together.
