Midweek Bible Study 101 Lesson 5 part 1 Dispensationalism

INTRODUCTION:Dispensation: Grk: oikonamous: management of a household-transliterated to the English word economy.Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. It is important to note that these dispensations are a man-made way of understanding what the Bible has revealed to us about God's purposes towards men. Dispensationalism is not a biblical concept, nor is it found anywhere in the Bible. It is a theological system of organizing and understanding God's work, but it is not itself Scripture.DISPENSATION DESCRIPTION DURATION CONCLUSION SYMBOLAge of Innocence Perfection Creation of Man to Fall of Man Expulsion Garden of EdenAge of Conscience Permissiveness The Fall to the Flood The Flood RainbowAge of Human Government Lawlessness The Flood to Tower of Babel Confusion of Languages Capital PunishmentAge of Promise/Patriarchs Pilgrimage Abraham to Joseph Slavery in Egypt CircumcisionAge of the Law Disobedience Moses to Jesus Crucifixion Tablets of StoneChurch Age or Age of Grace Grace Jesus to Tribulation Church Cross/ChurchTribulation Judgement Covenant signed to Battle of Armageddon The Triumphant Return Mark of the BeastKingdom or Eternal Age Perfection Millennium to Eternity NO Conclusion New Jerusalem
