858 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 2 Book 72 - The Big Picture: Pre-Tribulation Rapture 2

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 72 THE BIG PICTURE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE (CONTINUED ...) - 2 I Cor. 9:17; Eph. 1:10; Eph. 3:2; Col. 1:25 Okay, it’s good to have everybody back. We can get on with our second program this afternoon. For those of you joining us on television, again we just ask you to take your Bible and follow with us verse by verse and take notes. Because all we try to do is encourage people to study on their own. And my, the rewarding phone calls we get that once they get started, they have to admit it is down right fun to learn how to study your Bible. I think a lot of people are afraid of their Bible, because they’re afraid it is judgmental and it’s going to condemn them and all these other things. Well, once you get into a right relationship with the Lord, why that’s the last thing that you’ll find. Instead, it’s just a thrilling, unfolding of God’s plan of the ages. And they can scoff all they want, but the more we study, the more we see how supernaturally this Book is put together. Okay, we’re still on the same theme, and will be for several more programs, of why we feel that the Body of Christ out of this Age of Grace will have to be taken off the planet before God can resume His finishing up the time frame with Israel. We’re going to show how this is a unique dispensation. This is a unique period of time in World History where God has turned from His covenant people, Israel, and has set them aside for a season. He has put them in a dispersion which we have sort of seen come to an end. Now there are still a lot of Jews out there, but a lot of them have already come back to the homeland. Like I mentioned, I think a week or two ago, why in the world do you suppose that little nation of five or six million people is in the news every day. The first page I turn to in the Daily Oklahoman is the World News and there it is—something pertaining to Israel or the Palestinians. Well, there are other places in the world that have got problems. My, look at Darfur down there in Africa and the little island of what we used to call Ceylon, it is Sri Lanka now. They’ve had civil war for forty years. It’s never in the news. And there are other areas, but the little land of Israel is in the news every day. They are hated! There is more anti-Semitism coming up every day, which has been, of course, the satanic ploy to try to keep God’s program from moving forward. This reminds me of something I just shared with one of the guys at break time. I read something yesterday that not only disturbed me, it almost made me angry. And no wonder they say we’re no longer a Christian nation. A poll has just been taken. Now this was just in the last few weeks. Now I don’t know which party to mention first, because I don’t want this to be partisan, because one was just as bad as the other. But anyhow, I think it was the Democrats, only 30% agreed there is a literal, physical Satan. The Republican’s weren’t that much better—33%. Almost one third of both parties do not recognize Satan as anything to be dealt with. No wonder we’re in trouble. Because this Book is full of his activities. II Corinthians 4, what does it say? “The god of this world has blinded the eyes of them that believe not.” Well, who’s the god of this world? Satan. I’m just flabbergasted to think that 66% of our politicians, Republican and Democrat alike, do not believe in anything pertaining to Satan. Well, I’ll tell you what; they’re going to get a rude awakening one day, aren’t they? So anyway, let’s go back and pick up where we left off. We’re going to move ahead and we’re going to spend our time on a review, which we covered 8 or 9 years ago when we went through all this verse-by-verse. So, it’s about time we get some fresh production on this – how that during this dispensation of the Grace of God, not only is the plan of salvation made more simple, but the whole idea of the Christian life. What it means to be in Christ and Christ in us. We’re going to be looking at all these things over these next several programs. That will lead us up to the fact that we have to be taken off the planet in the Rapture so that God can pick up where He left off with His covenant people. All right, in Ephesians chapter 3 and we were down about in verse 4. Whereby, when ye read, (That is this letter of the Ephesians especially, but all of Paul’s epistles.) ye may understand my knowledge (Or, as I showed at the closing moments of the last half-hour, Peter called it what? His wisdom) in the mystery of Christ) 5. Which in other ages (or other dispensations, or other generations) was not made known (Now look at that closely. And I hope we’ve got it on the screen—how that in other ages these things were not made known.) unto the sons of men #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
