846 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 2 Book 71 - Showing a break in OT prophecy timeline 2

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 71 SHOWING A BREAK IN THE O.T. PROPHECY TIME LINE - 2 Joel 2:28-29 Okay, once again, you’ve had your coffee break. We’ll go into program number two this afternoon. For those of you out in television, again we just appreciate so much your letters, your financial help, and most of all your prayers. Because, after all, I have a little plaque in the kitchen that says, “Never Underestimate the Power of Prayer.” And that is my trademark…if you can’t pray about it, then it’s not worth doing. So again, we appreciate everything and your letters. We’re going to pick right up where we left off in our last four programs. We’ve left our original Scripture reference on the board, and we’re going to go back to it for just a moment. For those of you here in the studio, go back to Joel. Keep your hand up there in Luke, that’s where I’m going to go next. But anyhow, to get things kicked off, we’ll go back to where we started in our last half-hour, and that was in Joel chapter 2. Remember we dropped in at verse 28. We showed how all of these Old Testament prophecies speak of everything happening one thing right after the other, with no indication of a 2,000 year hiatus, or parenthetical period of time, however you want to put it, that we now know as the Church Age. It helps you so much to understand that this is the way prophecy is written, as if it’s all going to keep coming right down the line. All right, so just for starters, let’s go back to Joel chapter 2, again, so we’ll know where we’re coming from. All right, verse 28: Joel 2:28-29 “And it shall come to pass (It’s going to happen.) afterward, (after a certain number of events have taken place) that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my spirit.” (-) Which we understand was the Day of Pentecost. But now the Old Testament goes right on into the Tribulation. That’s next. Joel 2:30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.” That’s all part of “the day of the LORD,” or what we have been looking at in the previous half-hour of the things concerning the end-time: the Tribulation, the Second Coming, and the Kingdom. Well, then we went all the way up through the Old Testament. We were just ready to jump into the New when we ran out of time. Let’s continue on now and jump all the way up from Joel to Luke. We’re going to stay on that same premise that all the Old Testament prophecies, as well as the Four Gospels, are still looking at everything happening right down the line, sequentially, going into the Kingdom. Not a word about the Church Age. Not a word about the Body of Christ or the Rapture. Why? That’s going to be left for the Apostle Paul. And oh, people can’t see that! And they almost get upset with me. And it takes a lot of patience for me not to get upset back. But nevertheless, this is the way it’s laid out. All right, are you with me in Luke chapter 1? And again, just to show how we can always put a time element in between two of these statements of prophecy. Luke chapter 1 verse 30 and the angel is speaking to Mary. Luke 1:30b-32 “…Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. (-) (Now we know that happened. But now look at the next verse.) 32. 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:” Has that happened yet? No. Still hasn’t happened. So, put your hyphen between those two verses. All right, now I’ve got another one. I thought of it during break time--Acts chapter 15. Now, I could go the rest of the afternoon right here. But, I’ll try to keep it short. Acts chapter 15, you remember, is Luke’s record of the Jerusalem Council in A.D. 51, twenty-two years after the crucifixion and after Pentecost. The reason for it is that Paul has now begun his ministry among the Gentiles. He’s establishing these little congregations of Gentiles on his Gospel – salvation by faith plus nothing in the finished work of the cross, which I’m going to cover either later this afternoon or our next taping. And the Judaizers in the Jerusalem congregation couldn’t handle that. Of course they meant well. They really thought that Paul had misled these poor Gentiles, and that they really didn’t have a full-blown salvation, because they were not keeping the Law and were not adhering to Judaism. So, what did Peter and the Eleven do? They sent men to come in behind Paul. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
