                                     Acts and God's Change in Callings

A comparison of the Act's history and books written during that time, with those books written after Acts, reveals the time of the halt of Israel's calling, blessings, and governmental rules.

It also reveals the beginning of a new and different calling to membership in the Church which Christ heads, with its unique blessings, governmental instructions, and homeland.

Books written for the Acts economy believers, when they expected the return of Christ to earth to set up his Kingdom:
Romans, 1&2 Corinthians,1&2 Thessalonians, Hebrews,
1,2,3 John, 1&2 Peter, Jude, James, Galations, Acts, Revelation.

The Kingdom  was postponed due to Israel's unbelief.  Acts 26:22 -"Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come"
Gentiles were grafted in to provoke Israel to jealousy (Rom.11:11) - as a wild olive tree.  Rom.11:17-24
This grafting in of the gentiles to provoke jealousy was foretold in the OT scriptures. Compare Rom.10:19-22 and

Deut. 32:21, Isa. 65:1- 2.  Search and See





Books written after the Acts dispensation was set aside due to Israel's blindness:
Ephesians, Philippians, Collossians, 1&2 Timothy, Philemon, and Titus.

After Acts 28:28,  when the Mystery  was revealed exclusively to Paul, the prisoner for us Gentiles. A new and higher calling was ushered in, completely apart from Israel being first, and the Gentiles being grafted into the olive tree. Now there is neither Jew nor Gentile. The Jews have no preeminence above a gentile in this age of the Mystery. Col. 3:11
