1 Corinthians 10:32: Threefold Division of Humanity in the Church Age

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comToday I want to explain something crucial for understanding Bible prophecy—the threefold division of humanity during this Church Age. While there are many ways to categorize people, the Bible reveals two basic divisions: saved and lost. But 1 Corinthians 10:32 shows us a more specific threefold division: “Give no offense either to the Jews or to the Greeks [Gentiles] or to the Church of God” (NASB95).Before Genesis 12, everyone was simply Gentiles. But when God called Abraham, He created a distinct people—the Jews—to bring forth the promised Messiah. After Christ’s death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit formed a third group at Pentecost: the Church, composed of both Jews and Gentiles united in one body. This was a mystery never before revealed.The Church has three unique prophetic events ahead: the Rapture, the Judgment Seat of Christ, and the Marriage of the Lamb. After the Rapture ends the Church Age suddenly and dramatically, God will resume His dealings with Israel and the nations during the Tribulation. Israel will make a covenant with Antichrist, rebuild the Temple, face the Gog-Magog invasion, and ultimately receive their Messiah at His Second Coming. Understanding these distinct prophetic programs helps us make sense of current world events and our Blessed Hope.Support Tipping Point MinistriesTo help us produce more content like this please consider supporting Tipping Point!
