75 Bible Questions – 72 & 73


Didn’t the Prophets Foresee the Church Age?
Acts 3:24 “And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.”

Peter is very specific here that Samuel and “All” the prophets after him were given revelations about the Church Age, the age beginning on the day of Pentecost, so there is no way to reasonably think that the Church Age just came to pass at random or that God did not know exactly when and what was going to happen.
Nevertheless, it is a dispensationalist teaching that the prophets knew nothing about what was to come when there are fulfilled prophesies strewn throughout the Old Testament about Jesus, the New Covenant, and the Destruction of Jerusalem.
Is it ignorance, denial, or immaturity that keeps curtain church denominations from understanding such principals as this that have a firm scriptural foundation?
