TO UNDERSTAND CHRISTIANITY one must understand that GOD SHUT OFF THE PROPHETIC TIME TABLE, TEMPORARILY FOR THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING IN A whole new program, SALVATION FOR THE GENTILES AS WELL AS THE JEWS.!!! SALVATION FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!!! STRIKING EVENTS WOULD TAKE PLACE: MESSIAH THE PRINCE DANIEL 9 V 25 HERE WE HAVE THE PROMISE OF THE MESSIAH TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL. REMEMBER THEY THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A MILITARY GENIUS, COMING IN POWER AND MIGHT TO LIBERATE THE JEWS FROM THE CONTROL OF THE ROMANS. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS GOD HAD PLANNED FOR THAT TIME. THE MESSIAH CAME AS A BABY- THE CONFUSION THEN OF WHO THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE, AND WHAT HE WOULD DO WAS OF GREAT CONFUSION TO THE JEWS. 1ST PETER 1 V 11. THEN HERE IS THE SHOCK THE JEWS WERE FURTHER CONFUSED ABOUT. DANIEL 9 V 26-27 “AFTER THREE SCORES AND TWO, MESSIAH WOULD BE CUT OFF”….HE THE MESSIAH WOULD DIE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD…THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WAS LEFT DESOLATE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE LORD JESUS, Matthew 23 v 37 & 38 they rejected him. “Oh Jerusalem Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.” THE CONSEQUENCE FOR ISRAEL WAS THAT THE PROGRAM OF GOD WAS ALTERED regarding the nation of Israel. GOD THEREFORE BROUGHT TO PASS ANOTHER PROGRAM CALLED THE CHURCH AGE. EPHESIANS 1 V 22 & 23, “and God placed all things under his feet, and appointed him to be head over everything for the church which is his body, the fullness of Him who fill everything in every way.”
