The change of his name was significant as was the change in his life. This is from "The Pilgrim's messenger" by a guy named Leon Bynoe circa 1950 or thereabouts: It refers to an "interval" which some believe is an archtype of the gentile "inverval" or "the time of the gentiles". As to the "parenthesis," a term which I do not like to use, let it be understood that the name taken by Saul, after he was severed from the other apostles, means "pause," or "interval." He took the name, "Paul." But I do not base my contention on this. In Acts 13:6-12, where Paul begins this severed ministry, the Jew, Bar-Jesus, is blinded, and the gentile, Sergius Paul, is blessed. Is not this prophetic? In verses 46 and 47 Paul turns to the nations, (Gentiles), and as many as were set for eonian life believed, while the Jews, as a body, did not. In Acts 28:26-28, the sentence against Israel is pronounced with force, and Paul declares, "Let it be known to you, then that to the nations was dispatched this salvation of God, and they will hear." Then in Romans 11:25, Paul says, "For I am not willing for you to be ignorant of this secret, brethren, lest you may be passing for prudent among yourselves, that callousness, in part, on Israel has come, until the complement of the nations may be entering."
