Why is it important to see that the Old Testament never hints at the church age?
Recognizing that the Old Testament never hints at the church age is important because it places both prophecy and the Age of Grace in right perspective. The Old Testament knows only the prophetic program moving straight through to the end. The church age is a historical interruption of that program, which will one day resume and conclude.
Les teaches that once people understand the Old Testament never gives a hint of the intervening church age, prophecy and the Age of Grace fall into their right perspective. The Old Testament knows nothing but the prophetic program moving straight through to the end. So far as God is concerned, this prophetic program from start to finish goes without interruption, but historically it was interrupted, and it is still interrupted, though it will end one day. Les also notes that the timeline has helped many people comprehend the unfolding of Scripture, and he plans to review it next program.
