Lesson 19: The Present Age - Part 1

Before we examine what the present age is about, we go back to the gospel accounts to witness what Jesus offered the Jewish people when he first came. He was the Messiah, the Son of David, the King whom the people of Israel were waiting for. Jesus offered the people of Israel their Kingdom. Some of the Jews trusted Jesus but the majority rejected him. So Jesus delayed the return of the Kingdom and instead, introduced an interim period. This interim period is the church age and a future tribulation period for Israel that will bring the Jews to national repentance. Then Jesus told his disciples to wait for God the Father and him to send the Holy Spirit to live in believers. Ten days after Jesus ascended, on the morning of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit arrived dramatically with three simultaneous miracles. The disciples realised the Holy Spirit had come. And now, the church age had begun. To follow the session, access the notes at https://comeandsee.online/s/Lesson-19-The-Present-Age-Part-1.pdf
