There are other things on either side of the dividing line besides Israel and her blessings on one hand, and the nations with their blessings on the other. For on the other side of that line lies the whole Old Testament, including all the books written during Acts. So the furthest you can go back is to Adam and Eve and the law given to them, if we can call it that. At least it contained the phrase, Thou shalt not. See Gen. 2:17; 3:3.

It is amazing, as we look through the New Testament, so-called, that there is a clear line of cleavage at Acts 28:28. It is like going out from the dark to the light. Of course some things, especially of the flesh, disappear at that point. There is where the 9 gifts of the Spirit ceased. There has been much counterfeiting of these things, but the real thing is just not here today.

There is a number of dividing lines in the Bible. We cannot here list them all. One noted one was in 1946 B.C. when the nations were given up at Babel and Abraham called and promise given. Just about 2,000 years later, at Acts 28:28, Israel were given up and the mystery began. This is about the church which is the body of Christ. And the length of that dispensation is noted in Hosea 6:2 as two days.
