How does God deal with time in the prophetic program?
In the prophetic program, God operates according to specific, predetermined time frames. Daniel 9 reveals 490 years determined upon Israel: 483 were fulfilled, then a break occurs, leaving a final seven-year period that is broken down in Daniel 9:25-27. This demonstrates precise divine timing.
Les teaches that all through the prophetic program God deals in specific time frames, just as Daniel 9 states that 490 years are determined upon Israel. He notes that 483 of those years were consummated, and then there is a break. The final seven years are broken down in Daniel 9:25-27. This shows that God's prophetic timetable is precise and segmented, not open-ended. This principle stands even as Israel's rejection led to the Age of Grace for the Gentiles.
