Is Old Testament prophecy directed to Israel and not to the Church?

Yes. All prophecy was directed to the nation of Israel; no prophecy gives any indication of the Church. Not a word in the Old Testament addresses the Church Age comprised of Gentile believers. The Old Testament prophets saw only Israel's King and Kingdom, unaware of the parenthetical Church Age.

Les teaches that all prophecy was directed to the nation of Israel, and no prophecy gives any indication of the Church. Not a word is breathed throughout the Old Testament about this Church Age comprised of Gentile believers. The Old Testament prophets understood there was something between the first advent and the coming in power and glory, but they viewed the two advents as one, like mountain ranges seen from a distance. Prophecy was expected to go beyond the cross into the Kingdom Age with Israel's King, but Israel rejected it. Unknown to the Old Testament writers, the Church Age was opened up and parenthesized.

Was Old Testament prophecy about Israel or the Church?

Old Testament prophecy was directed to the nation of Israel, not the Church. The Old Testament gives no indication of the Church as such; not a word describes this Church Age comprised of Gentile believers. The prophets saw Messiah’s two advents as one, expecting Israel’s King and Kingdom, while the Church Age remained unrevealed.
