42 1 2 Through the Bible with Les Feldick Les and Iris' Story - Salvation - Time-Line: I Thes. ch.1

I have taken the time and put two timelines on the board. We have found that the timeline just makes everything more understandable for most people. If you realize that all of this top timeline is exactly like the bottom timeline with one exception. In the bottom line, where you and I are today, we've opened up a parenthetical part of it called the Age of Grace, or Paul's apostleship, or the Church Age, the Body of Christ, that is not on the top timeline. What I like to point out, is that all the Old Testament from Adam to Noah's Flood, to the Tower of Babel (and then at the mid-point between Adam and the cross) is the call of Abraham where we have the beginning of the Nation of Israel and the Jewish people. We find that the Nation of Israel and the Jews all started in Genesis chapter 12. This the beginning of everything concerning the promise of the coming Messiah, Redeemer, and Saviour. This portion of Scripture is also called the Abrahamic Covenant. I spend a lot of time in the Abrahamic Covenant because of its intrinsic importance to even the Church Age.
