Introducing Paul: Why God Stopped the Prophetic Clock

B5L10 Why did God stop the prophetic clock for Israel? In this Bible study, Les Feldick explains the pivotal moment when Israel rejected the Holy Spirit at the stoning of Stephen, committing the "unpardonable sin" for that dispensation. You will learn how this event led to the interruption of the Old Testament timeline and the introduction of the Apostle Paul. Les Feldick walks through Acts 7, 8, and 9 to show the dramatic transition from the Kingdom program to the Age of Grace. He explains why Jesus was "standing" at the right hand of God during Stephen's vision and how Saul of Tarsus was converted to become the Apostle to the Gentiles. This lesson is essential for understanding the difference between Peter's message and Paul's unique gospel. 00:00 – Introduction: The Old Testament Prophetic Program Halted 01:44 – Stephen’s Sermon: Israel Resists the Holy Spirit (Acts 7) 03:15 – The Unpardonable Sin: Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit 04:21 – Why Was Jesus "Standing" at the Right Hand of God? 06:05 – The Stoning of Stephen & The Introduction of Saul 07:35 – "Ecclesia" Explained: Israel in the Wilderness vs. The Church 09:03 – Saul’s Conversion: The Light on the Road to Damascus (Acts 9) 12:28 – A Chosen Vessel: Paul’s Mission to the Gentiles 14:34 – Peter’s Confession vs. The Gospel of Grace 16:32 – Paul in Arabia: Where He Received the Revelation Watch more lessons from Les Feldick Bible Study to deepen your understanding of Scripture.
