Is the church insulated from God's dealings with Israel?
Yes. The church is totally insulated from all of God’s dealings with the nation of Israel. It is not under law, not associated with Israel, Judaism, or the temple, but operates by God’s grace based on Christ’s finished work. The church would not fit in the tribulation, which is primarily God dealing with Israel.
Les explains that after the revelation of the mysteries, God is calling out the body of Christ during this nearly 2,000-year period. This body is not under law, not associated with the nation of Israel, Judaism, or the temple; it is wholly the operation of God’s grace based on the finished work of the cross. Because law and grace cannot be mixed, the church is like a fish out of water in the tribulation. It is not part of the Jewish program or law, being totally insulated from God’s dealings with Israel. The tribulation is primarily God dealing with Israel, so the church must be taken out of the way before God resumes His program with Israel, including the Antichrist’s seven-year treaty according to Daniel 9.
