The end part of the probational period, that ±40 years of Israel under testing, Acts 28:28, brought about the official suspension of the Kingdom program for the next 2000-years. Israel under the promise of Abraham had fallen through the cracks, the Jews were dispersed and the temple was in ruins. 

This also marked the beginning of the 'undiluted' grace church, the Body of Christ, where there was no more wall of separation, no more distinguishing between the nations, no more preeminence of the Jew. Paul's writings to the far hence Gentiles was now the only valid doctrine of the day and provided all humanity with a new hope and salvation where once there was no hope and no salvation apart from Israel. It was during this time that the Word of God was unfettered, even though the messenger had been in chains for those last few years,

2 Timothy 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

It is important to remember that this period of time covering the gospel of God and the gospel of Christ is a transition period. This has to be factored into the process of evaluating and interpreting the scriptures during this Acts period. Although the gospel of Christ is the exact same message as the gospel of the grace of God, our gospel today, we must recognize that the circumstances surrounding this gospel were different and that some of the things we read of in the Acts epistles of Paul do not apply in this grace dispensation today. During the time of in the book of Acts, as far as the Jews were concerned, the Gentile believers were going to be a possession of Israel when the kingdom came (Amos 9:11-12). It was only after the Acts epistles, when the gospel of grace was sent "far hence" unto the Gentiles, who were outside the covenants of promise, that Jewish things, like observances, traditions, customs, and rituals, were nailed to the cross and taken out of the way. Paul's prison epistles have no evidence of Jewish references and concepts.

I will use this section to cover my tracks and remind you of things I may mentioned in previous posts about the gospel of God. Tracing one's steps and reminding one of things said is quite scriptural as both Peter and Paul did this, based on these verses,

Phil.3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous [tedious], but for you it is safe.

2 Peter 1:12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

Christs death a mystery and completely unknown during this gospel.

It is interesting to note that throughout the period of Christ's ministry, the purpose of His sufferings and death were kept hidden. Jesus was not silent regarding His death, but the purpose of His death was a secret kept hidden in the heart of God. Unlike our Grace Gospel, Jesus' death was not preached or understood as a condition in the Kingdom Gospel. Nobody at this time knew the purpose of Jesus death. It was hidden based on God's predetermination (1 Cor.2:8). Even though Jesus spoke of it, it was not comprehended.
