* When the contents of the Acts is interpreted in the light of these two verses, the
Student will see that the whole of the Acts confirms what is said in the Gospels and the
Old Testament.
The Books of THE NEW TESTAMENT that were written during the Acts Period are,
Romans, I and II Corinthians, Galatians, I and II Thessalonians, James, I, II, III John;
I and II Peter, Jude and Hebrews. The contents of these Books indicate their
agreement with the subject matter of the Acts.
The Second Coming of Christ referred to in the above books has to do with Israel, and
is not to be confused with His manifestation in glory (Col. 3:4).
I Thess. 4:13, through to 5:3, has reference to people under the Abrahamic
Covenant, Jews and Gentiles. Sounds, Voice, Archangel, Trump of God, Times,
Seasons, Day of the Lord: All belong to the time when Israel is first and the Gentiles
subordinate.
Today the CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, has no Covenant (Eph. 1:4).
When the above Books were written THE CHURCH WAS A MYSTERY (Eph. 3:1-12)
not yet revealed. Paul had an early and late Ministry. SEARCH."
