The Pauline epistles are the only place in the Bible where an exclusive grace-message is taught.
Our salvation and our doctrine of Christian living are written in these books.
Because Paul was Jewish and to the Jews became a Jew, we also read about kingdom matters in Paul’s epistles. We separate these matters from our own requirements.
The so-called “General Epistles” (non-Pauline epistles) are written to Israel and concern Kingdom matters and should not be applied directly to the Body of Christ.
The Prophetic Fulfillment Period
The book of Revelation shows the fulfillment of all prophecies, in Christ the Messiah.
The establishment of the Kingdom restores God’s intent for Israel under a theocracy.
The Kingdom of Israel – 1 Kings 12 – 2 Kings, Hosea, Amos, Micah
The Kingdom of Judah – 1 Kings 12 – 2 Kings, Prophets, Daniel.
The Intertestamental Period
Though not covered in Scripture, the events are foretold in the book of Daniel.
In this time, governance of Israel goes from the Persians to the Greeks to the Maccabees to the Romans.
Much of the Judaism in the New Testament is impacted by this period.
The King and Kingdom Period
The birth of the Messiah and His childhood
The King Presented – Gospels
The King Rejected – Gospels
The Kingdom Offered – Acts 1-8
Acts 9-28 contain offers of the Kingdom while God is also dealing with the nations in non-Kingdom matters.
The Pauline epistles are written during this time.
The book of Acts records a period of Jewish believers (Acts 1-8) from approx.. A.D. 33-44. This is the last time God dealt directly and exclusively with the Jewish nation.
Acts 9-28 includes the church-age assemblies.
The Jewish assemblies under Peter
The Gentile assemblies under Paul
The Grace Period
