Revelation vs. Instruction: How Paul Received the Gospel

B5L8 Did the twelve apostles understand the cross and resurrection immediately? In this Bible study, Les Feldick examines Acts 1, Matthew 19, and Galatians 1 to explain why the disciples stayed in Jerusalem and focused on the "Kingdom to Israel." You will learn how God’s plan shifted from the Jewish program to the "Gospel of Grace" revealed specifically to the Apostle Paul. Les Feldick clarifies the crucial difference between "revelation" (direct from God) and "instruction" (learning from others), showing that Paul received his message directly from the ascended Christ in Arabia. This lesson is essential for understanding the transition from Law to Grace and why the Church is distinct from Israel in God's plan. 00:00 – Introduction: The Disciples’ Blindness to Prophecy 00:40 – Did the Disciples Understand the Resurrection? 01:46 – "Restore the Kingdom to Israel": Peter’s Question (Acts 1:6) 03:30 – Jesus’ Promise: Twelve Thrones for the Twelve Tribes (Matt 19:28) 06:08 – Why the Apostles Stayed in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8) 08:26 – Persecution Scatters the Church (Acts 8:1) 10:53 – Waiting for the Kingdom: The "Bus Depot" Analogy 12:48 – "Jew Only" Preaching in the Early Church (Acts 11:19) 13:43 – The Turning Point: God Calls Paul to the Gentiles (Acts 9) 16:03 – Paul’s Unique Commission: A Chosen Vessel 20:53 – Revelation vs. Instruction: Paul in Arabia (Galatians 1) 26:20 – Paul’s Gospel: Not from Man, But by Revelation Watch more lessons from Les Feldick Bible Study to deepen your understanding of Scripture.
