Paul founded the church at Ephesus about the middle of the first century. This enables us to set the date of the beginning of the Ephesian Church Age; about 53 A.D. ~ EPHESIAN CHURCH AGE  -  CHURCH AGE BOOK  PG 74

***

Have you ever wondered why the Ephesian Church Age didn’t start until twenty years after Pentecost? It is because the Day of Pentecost was a Jewish event. Bro Branham described the Day of Pentecost as “the falling of the Holy Spirit in the early church of the--in the Jewish dispensation” (Invasion of the USA – 54-0509). In this sense the Bride, the beginning of the Ephesian Age, was birthed from Israel. That doesn’t mean that Israel is Her mother, anymore than Mary was Jesus’ mother. It means that spiritually the Lord used the womb of Israel to bring the Bride into flesh. The new birth puts us back into this condition of the Word being made flesh.
