The Dispensational Plan of The Bible

[Complete]

Hello there,

On page 198 of 'The Companion Bible', is an outline of the Bible content, showing the dispensations, in which God has been dealing with the Jew, the Gentile, and the church of God. By comparing 'A' with 'A', 'B' with 'B' and so on, you can see the wonderful balance of the Scriptures, and God's eternal purpose set out graphically before your eyes. Here is the link to the page in question, I hope it will prove instructive to you, and perhaps a source of further enquiry, or conversation:-

The Eternal Purpose (Eph. 3:11). - Appendix to the Companion Bible

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

It seems to me like there's two dispensations in the Bible, the old covenant and the new covenant.

The complicated stuff a lot of people come up with really confuses me.

Hi @dizerner,

The word, 'dispensation', as you will know is translated from the Greek word, 'oikonomia' (G3622): and is an 'administration' or 'stewardship'; so I have never thought of the, 'old covenant,' and the, 'new covenant,' in that way.

The Old Testament (covenant) and New Testament (covenant) are man-made divisions, whereas the changes of dispensation that take place within the Scriptures are not man-made, but Divine in origin.

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
