I thought it interesting, because I had never heard that before. As a matter of fact, I didn't see it as you both had parsed it because Paul was speaking to those very saints who were in times past lost. They got saved (now) and will be praising Him in ages to come. The immediate application was not Old Testament Jews, New Testament church and beyond the millenial kingdom - but simply their darkness, salvation and future. If you "cut" the dispensations where you do, then what do you make of Mark 1:1 - John the Baptist being the beginning of the Gospel? In Matt 11:13 the Bible clearly cuts the Old Testament off at John the Baptist - "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John." I'd be grateful for a response. Thank you. Bro.
