PATRIARCHAL DISPENSATION God Dealt with human beings as Individual/Families Will of God ADAM & EVE Do not eat of the tree of Knowledge (Gen 2: 17, 3: 1 -24) Q: who else was commanded? NOT Just any person !! Why? Patriarch NOAH Build an Ark, because Gen 6: 5 -6, 8, 17 Q: who else was commanded to build an ark? GOD’s Command varied from one person to another! ABRAHAM Offer your son Isaac as burnt offering (Gen 22: 1 -2) Q: who else was commanded to offer His/Her Son as offering?
JEWISH/MOSAIC DISPENSATION Abraham’s Faith resulted in God blessing him Blessing “I will make of Thee a Great Nation” Gen 12: 1 -3
JEWISH/MOSAIC DISPENSATION Israel is freed from Egypt by God Through MOSES, and Israel is given the Law /“Covenant” Exodus 20
JEWISH/MOSAIC DISPENSATION GOD’s Covenant with Israel or Law of Moses (Exodus 20: 2 -Acts 2) Was unknown to Patriarchs (Deut 5: 3) This Law was binding ONLY Israel & God (Deut 5: 4) This Law was NOT binding to Gentiles/ other nations (Rom 2: 14) God dealt with a NATION, rather than individuals The LAW applied to all people of Israel
CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION Due to Israel’s failure to keep the covenant and the exclusion of Gentiles (Jer 31: 31 -34, Eph 2: 11 -12) God promised a new covenant of “Reconciliation” Through PROPHETS! After several centuries, JESUS CHRIST established it as prophesied How?

(Mat 5: 17, Gal 4: 5) Which said…Jer 31: 31 -34 & all other prophesies About Christ Hebrew 9: 15 -17 WHY? Nailing the law of Moses passing it (Col 2: 14) s u Th Dying on the Cross (Mat 27: 35) y b ally Fin The law of Moses could NOT pass UNTIL ALL IS FULFILLED (Mat 5: 18) Jesus FINISHED the work he came to do (John 17: 4)
CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION ISRAEL was reconciled with GOD, Acts 2: 36 -47 The New Covenant of Christ became effective after his Death Beginning on Pentecost in Jerusalem, 33 AD (Acts 1 & 2) GENTILES/ Other NATIONS, were reunited with GOD (Eph 2: 11 -13) Thus GOD dealt with the WHOLE WORLD, (Mark 16: 15 -16)…until end of time (Mat 28: 20)
