Yes — Israel's last days end with the King establishing His kingdom, while the church's last days are the age of grace ending with the church's removal.
Isaiah 2 ties Israel's last days to the final thousand years when the kingdom of the Lord's house is established over all nations from Jerusalem. Les teaches that the church's last days, by contrast, began at Christ's first advent and continue until the church is taken out of the scene. Israel's prophetic clock stopped when she was dispersed, and the church age has no prophetic time frame whatsoever.
Isaiah 2:2 — This verse defines Israel's last days as the establishment of the Lord's house above all kingdoms, with all nations flowing unto it.
Hebrews 1:2 — This verse identifies the last days of the present age as the period in which God has spoken unto us by His Son.
Scripture speaks of 'the last days' in connection with Jerusalem and the kingdom of the Lord's house. Isaiah 2:1-2 says that in the last days 'the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.' The word came specifically 'concerning Judah and Jerusalem.' Hebrews 1:2 applies 'these last days' to the period in which God 'hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son.' Daniel 9:24 further shows that God's prophetic dealings with Israel are set in a specific time frame: 'Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.'
Les Feldick teaches that Israel's last days are the final thousand years — the seventh thousand — when the kingdom of the Lord's house, coming from the royal line of David, is established in Jerusalem above all the nations. He connects this to God's promise to David of a throne established forever, noting that Israel was chastened by other nations but God's mercy never departed. The church's last days, by contrast, are not the Tribulation or the Second Coming. Les says the last days of Scripture are the whole period from Christ's first advent to the end of the age — the age of grace. He emphasizes that all true prophecy centers on Israel and is set within a time frame, but the church has no prophecy and no time frame. Israel's rejection of the King and kingdom pushed that offer into the future, God's time clock stopped when Israel was dispersed, and the church age was inserted in between. Christ's return for the church is imminent.
Isaiah 2:1-2 says the word came concerning Judah and Jerusalem, and in the last days the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains — exalted above the hills — and all nations shall flow unto it. Les explains this refers to the final thousand years, the seventh thousand, when the kingdom of the Lord's house, from the royal line of David, will be the top kingdom over all the smaller kingdoms. Once Israel's Messiah sets up His throne in Jerusalem, all nations will be drawn to it like a magnet drawing steel.
Les stresses that all true prophecy centers on the nation of Israel and is almost always set within a time frame — such as the 490 years determined upon Israel in Daniel 9. The church age has nothing like that whatsoever; there is no prophecy concerning the church. We can see the church approaching the end of the age of grace by virtue of events getting ready for prophecy to come on the scene, but no time frame is ever given.
Les teaches that the last days of Scripture are everything from Christ's first advent on. Many people think the last days are just the Tribulation and the Second Coming, but Les says that is the 'latter days.' The last days are the whole period from His first advent to the end of the age, during which God has spoken unto us by His Son.
Israel did not respond to the offer of the King and the kingdom, so that offer was pushed out into the future. As soon as Israel lost her temple, her national state, and her sovereign government and was dispersed, God's time clock utterly stopped. In between, God has been calling out the Body of Christ — the church age, the age of grace — which has no time frame, and Christ's return is imminent.
Les points back to God's promise concerning Solomon: 'I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.' He explains this is not just about Solomon but about the whole nation of Israel, the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When Israel committed iniquity, God chastened them with the rod of men using other nations, but His mercy would not depart away from him.
Israel's Perpetual Kingdom Promised
Les applies God's promise to Solomon of a throne established forever to the whole nation of Israel, with chastening but mercy never departing.
Israel's Last Days Defined
Les identifies Isaiah 2's 'last days' as the final thousand years when the kingdom of the Lord's house is established over all nations.
The Kingdom Established Over All Kingdoms
Les explains that when Israel's Messiah sets up His throne in Jerusalem, all nations will be drawn to it like a magnet.
No Prophecy for the Church
Les contrasts time-bound prophecy centered on Israel (like Daniel's 490 years) with the church age, which has no prophecy whatsoever.
No Time Frame for the Church
Les repeats that all true prophecy centers on Israel with time frames, while the church has nothing like that.
Israel's Kingdom Pushed Into the Future
Les explains that Israel's rejection of the King and kingdom pushed that offer into the future, making room for the church age — the age of grace.
Last Days Begin at Christ's First Advent
Les clarifies that the last days of Scripture are the whole period from Christ's first advent to the end of the age — not merely the Tribulation.
Israel's Time Clock Stopped
Les teaches that when Israel lost her temple and sovereignty, God's prophetic time clock stopped and the church age began with no time frame; Christ's return is imminent.
Isaiah 2:1-2: The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
This is the key Old Testament passage Les uses to define Israel's last days — the establishment of the Lord's house above all kingdoms.
2 Samuel 7:13: He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
God's promise of a perpetual throne to David's line, which Les applies to all Israel.
2 Samuel 7:14: I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
Explains the chastening Israel experienced through other nations while God's mercy remained.
Hebrews 1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Identifies the church's last days as the period from Christ's first advent onward.
Daniel 9:24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Shows that God's prophecy for Israel is set within a specific time frame — 490 years — which Les contrasts with the church age.
No. Israel's last days are the final thousand years when the Messiah establishes His kingdom in Jerusalem over all nations. The church's last days are the entire age of grace from Christ's first advent until He removes the church from the scene.
No. Les teaches that the church age has no prophecy and no time frame. All time-specific prophecy centers on Israel. Christ's return for the church is imminent — it could happen at any moment.
Les says the last days of Scripture are the whole period from Christ's first advent to the end of the age. The latter days — which many people mistakenly call the last days — refer to the Tribulation and the Second Coming.
