What is the Age of Israel?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

The Age of Israel is the time between Abraham and Christ. During this period, the Holy Spirit came upon certain men, usually to reveal truth or to prepare and empower them for service (Gen. 41:38; Exod. 28:3; 31:3; 35:31; Num. 11:18–25; 27:18; Judg. 3:10; 6:34; 11:29; 13:25; 14:6; 15:14; 1 Sam. 10:9–10; 16:13; Dan. 4:8; 5:11–14; 63; Zech. 4:3, 12–14).

Believers in this age could obtain the Holy Spirit by asking (2 Kings 2:9–10; Luke 11:13), but the Spirit could also be taken from them (Psalm 51:11).

Also asked: What is the difference between the Holy Spirit's presence and absence in the lives of believers during the Age of Israel? · How did people in the Age of Israel experience the Holy Spirit? · What is the name of the period of time between Abraham and Jesus Christ?
