57 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 1 - Book 5 - Old Testament Progress - Introducing Paul

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 3 * PART 1 * BOOK 5 Old Testament Progress: Introducing Paul We likened the servant to the work of the Holy Spirit in calling out the Bride of Christ. A Gentile Bride for God The Son. I also emphasized earlier, how during the Old Testament, during the program of prophecy, God would tell everything long before it happened. In that prophetic program, there is not one hint of the Church Age. The Church Age is just not in there, because God had a reason. El Olam is translated in some places as Everlasting, or the Everlasting to Everlasting God. It is also translated as the God of Time, and in another place, the same word is translated hid, and hidden. Then Psalms Chapter 2 says, after that he would ascend and be seated at the Father’s right hand. Here we have The King and the Kingdom. That’s the Old Testament program just laid out so beautifully. We can pick that up in Luke Chapter 4. Isaiah 61:1,2 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;" Now go on in verse 2, after the word "Lord," there is a comma. The Tribulation! Just like Psalms calls it wrath and vexation, Isaiah here calls it the vengeance, or the day of vengeance of our God; There again you have a semicolon . The Kingdom! If you will turn to Luke Chapter 4. where Jesus is in his early earthly ministry. Luke 4:16 Luke 4:17-21 "And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Back to Isaiah 61. So Jesus knew exactly where to stop in this verse in Isaiah. Isaiah 61:2 Now read on) and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn." Because Jesus knew that this Old Testament program was going to be interrupted at some point in time, shortly after His Ascension. We will now show from some other portions of Scripture, that this prophetic program stopped. There was to be 490 years of God dealing with Israel before The King and the Kingdom would come in. These 483 years culminated with the Crucifixion, and then God’s Clock stopped right there. Come back to Psalm Chapter 2. Let’s go to Psalms 2. Come down to verse 3, where leaders of the Gentiles and the Jews have rejected Christ's offer to be their King and set up the Kingdom. Psalms 2:3-6 Verse 4 continuing: Right in between verses 3 and 5, you can put a parentheses in your Bible with a dash between it (–), because here is where the Old Testament program is going to be interrupted. It stopped short. The next one will be in Psalm 118 verse 22: Psalm 118:22 So make your parentheses right between the word refused and the word, is. Isaiah 9:6 The Kingdom! Right after the word given. The promised Son came to the Nation of Israel. If everything that was spoken of in prophecy was fulfilled up to here, could it be the Word of God and this not be fulfilled? From Isaiah Chapter 9, let’s go to Daniel Chapter 9. Here is that great prophecy, the one Jesus referred to in Matthew 24. Daniel 9:26 Daniel can’t speak of it because it was still prophetic in his time. Daniel 9:27 That didn’t take place at Christ’s first coming. The next one is Joel Chapter 2. And here, of course, we have the introduction of the coming down of the Holy Spirit in that Old Testament program. Joel 2:28 Always remember these prophets of the Old Testament were always writing to what people? Now, when did the Spirit come down upon the Nation of Israel? The Holy Spirit came down and this is the prophecy of it. "...your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions..."This all took place at the advent of the Holy Spirit there at Pentecost in Acts 2. Then Joel, verse 29, is still referring to it: Joel 2:29,30 Let's come on up through your Old Testament, all the way to Zechariah Chapter 9 and drop in at verses 9 and 10: Zechariah 9:9,10 Right between verses 9 and 10. Verse 10 is still future. Luke 1:31,32 "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. (-) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father, David." Let’s go all the way into the Book of Acts, Chapter 2. Peter preaches it as if this is all coming. Peter has no idea of a Church Age. Acts Chapter 2? Jesus knew in Luke Chapter 4, where to stop, because that last half of the verse would not be completed until much later. Let’s read it now from the Book of Acts: Why didn’t Peter stop in the middle like Jesus did? Peter didn’t know! #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
