EPISODE 2 – HAVE A PLAN (AGE of INNOCENCE: ADAM & EVE)
The Bible is written in several different literary styles: epistles/letters, genealogical, historical narrative, law/statutory, parable, poetry, prophecy, and proverbial/wisdom literature.
While literalism is a great way of reading many of these styles, it does not work to literally read poetry, prophecy, or wisdom literature. They have to be read within the framework of their literary style.
For example, Psalm 91:4 says that God “shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall find refuge.” This does not mean that God literally has feathered wings and that you will have them draped over you. It’s an analogy that He will take care of us with the same gentle care that a mama bird has on her fledglings.
Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. Usually, there are seven dispensations identified, although some theologians believe there are nine. Others count as few as three or as many as thirty-seven dispensations. We will limit ourselves to the basic dispensations found in Scripture.
Each dispensation has a God-ordained responsibility, stewards (people commanded to fulfill that responsibility), a failure on mankind’s part, God’s judgment, and, finally, evidence of God’s grace.
Generally speaking, the transition from one dispensation in to the next dispensation will contain an over-lapping of time gradually rather than the rapid transition that we might think of on December 31 and then suddenly it is the next year.
It might be helpful to think of this like the changing of our seasons from Spring in to Summer and then in to Fall, etc.
These Dispensations are as follows:
1. Dispensation of Innocence
2. Dispensation of Conscience
3. Dispensation of Human Government
4. Dispensation of Promise
5. Dispensation of Law
6. Dispensation of Grace, the Church Age
7. Dispensation of Tribulation
8. Dispensation of Millennial Reign of Christ
9. Dispensation of New Beginnings
