A SURVEY OF DISPENSATIONALISM
By: doug Date: November 8, 2025, 11:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a brief survey of dispensationalism.
There is a lot of resistance and misinformation about
dispensationalism. There are preachers and teachers that
misrepresent dispensationalism and fail to teach it correctly.
First of all, dispensationalism is not just about periods of
time, in that, dispensational periods can overlap. It is about
how God deals with us and what God is doing at different times.
I think as far as time frames go, there is times past/ times
now/ times to come. God dealt differently with us in times past.
God doesn't give us everything we need to know all at once; he
reveals knowledge to us progressively. What God tells us has to
be believed. What God commands us has to be obeyed.
Dispensationalism divides old testament Israel/ from new
testament Israel/ from the body of Christ. It doesn't lump them
all together.
God made covenant with Israel in the old testament. God gave
instructions for offerings and sacrifices. God gave commandments
for behavioral and civil conduct. God only made covenants with
Israel and gave the law to Israel only.
The new testament dispensation is different, in that, God sent
his Son into the world to shed his blood for the new testament.
By the new testament, the trespasses Israel committed under the
first testament were redeemed..............[HEBREWS 9:15 KJV] 15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that
by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
[that were] under the first testament, they which are called
might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.............
Jesus's sacrifice fulfilled the shadow of animal sacrifices
offered under the first testament. Jesus formed the new
testament church in which, for eternal life, Israel only had to
believe on the name of Jesus, that he was their Messiah, the Son
of God. Jesus and the apostles preached the gospel of the
kingdom. God promised Israel an earthly kingdom in which they
will reign with Christ as priests for a thousand
years..........[REVELATION 20:6 KJV] 6 Blessed and holy [is] he
that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years..............Believing Israel will receive this promised
kingdom on earth. Jesus taught about this kingdom throughout the
four gospels, especially through parables. Israel had to keep
the law to enter this kingdom...........[MATTHEW 5:20 KJV] 20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed
[the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no
case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Israel has a unique purpose to reconcile the earth, The body of
Christ was formed to reconcile heaven........[COLOSSIANS 1:20
KJV] 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say],
whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.
Jesus revealed the body of Christ to Paul in this dispensation.
The body has a lot of distinct features that separates it from
the church of the new testament. This dispensation revealed all
the cross accomplished; revealed was forgiveness for all by the
cross, revealed was not having to go thru Israel for salvation,
revealed was salvation apart from the law and from covenants,
revealed was we are crucified with Christ. God did not appoint
the body of Christ a kingdom on earth, but rather, a heavenly
dwelling place.
In the dispensation of time to come, all things in heaven and
earth will be gathered together in Christ...........[EPHESIANS
1:10 KJV] 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
Dispensationalism recognizes that God gave us, in this
dispensation, our gospel of Christ to be believed for our
salvation. Revealed to Paul are the instructions and
commandments for the church, the body of
Christ...........[1CORINTHIANS 15:1, 3-4 KJV] 1 Moreover,
brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto
you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; ... 3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures:
Dispensationalism, if taught correctly, does not say the church
replaces Israel. Dispensationalism acknowledges that Israel has
temporarily fallen and is set aside; believing Israel will be
restored in the Davidic earthly kingdom. Dispensationalism
acknowledges that only the body of Christ will be raptured; the
tribulation is determined only for Israel to separate believing
Israel from unbelieving Israel. Only believing Israel will enter
their earthly kingdom.
Lets look at a simple example of dispensations. God judged the
world by bringing the flood. This was how he was dealing with
wicked mankind. Then he said he would not judge the world
anymore by a flood. Two dispensations are seen here in regard to
how he dealt with mankind.
