OF GOD'S DISPENSATION & COVENANT PLANS
By
Dennis Schmidt 1/2007
RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE
This paper discusses God's dispensation
& covenant plans. A dispensation is a period of time in God's economy
during which He provides a special revelation commanding His creation unto
obedience. A covenant, within several of these dispensations, is a formal
agreement between God and His creation. The dispensations & covenants are
progressively unfolding God's revelation which is cumulative. Most covenants
are unconditional or declarative by God such that He promises to grant a
blessing to man independent of man's response. The exception is the Mosaic
covenant which is mutual or conditional upon man's response. The first three
covenants (Edenic, Adamic,
& Noahic) were given to mankind. The Abrahamic, Mosaic, Land, Davidic & New covenants were
given to
INDUCTIVE
COMMENTS:
THEME: God
provides a special revelation to his creation requiring obedience with judgment
for failure also ultimate mercy of salvation to the elect.
PURPOSE: Teach God's Dispensation &
Covenant plans for the ages (each period of time) in God's economy.
Religious organizations that do not teach
God's dispensation plan state that God is finished with the Jewish people as the chosen
people. That God has replaced them with the Church. They assign
the Bible curses to the Jewish people & blessings to the Church. They do
not have a sovereign God in complete control of His creation. They do
not believe Jesus will be on an earthly throne for 1,000 years. These
statements contradict the scriptures shown in this paper in the various
dispensations.

DISPENSATION PLAN?
Religious organizations that do not teach
God's dispensation plan state that God is finished with the Jewish people as the chosen
people. That God has replaced them with the Church. They assign
the Bible curses to the Jewish people & blessings to the Church. They do
not have a sovereign God in complete control of His creation. They do
not believe Jesus will be on an earthly throne for 1,000 years. These
statements contradict the scriptures shown in this paper in the various
dispensations.
III) FOR ALL DISPENSATIONS GOD'S ULTIMATE
PLAN FOR SALVATION:
Imputed righteousness of God, by Jesus, as only means to
salvation to those who believe. Salvation
is dependent only on God not on the sinner, nor can the sinner do
anything for it. Jesus righteousness imputed/reckoned/counted to
believer - believers sins imputed to Jesus.
IV) ETERNITY PAST DISPENSATION:
God has a plan for everyone of
His created beings for the ages. God desires is
to show His love to His created beings including His greatest love of
Jesus dying for sinful mankind.
In this dispensation God is creating the
heavens, earth, & hell for His purpose. It begins with the Triunity Godhead
and goes on forever. However, within God's eternal plan exists
a number of separate dispensations periods. The next dispensation is the seven
days creation with mankind being the climax of that dispensation.
A) GOD:
START: Eternity past when only the Triunity God exists.
COMPLETION: Eternity future to include those God created.
Scriptures starts with the assumed
existence of God. God alone is eternal (1 Timothy
1) GOD IS ETERNAL:
2) TRIUNITY - FATHER, SON, & HOLY
SPIRIT IN THE ONE GODHEAD:
3) HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD:
4) GOD'S ATTRIBUTES AND CHARACTERISTICS
ARE SHOWN IN HIS TITLES AND NAMES:
B) GOD'S PLAN:
God's sovereign plan for people is that
His purpose for them will occur by Him predestinating everything for the good
of the Elect that God has called, justified, glorified & conformed to
Jesus.
C) ANGELS, DEMONS, & SATAN:
1) GOOD:
MERCY TO ANGELS: Only 1/3 fell, 2/3 preserved, minister to the saved believers
& God.
2) EVIL:
ANGEL TESTS RESPONSIBILITY: 1/3 fell with Satan as head & not God as their head.
ANGELS JUDGMENT: To lake of fire in latter days for rejecting God as head.
D) MANKIND:
EDENIC COVENANT: [1] Replenish
the earth [2] Subdue earth [3] dominion over earth [4] Every
herb for food [5] Not eat fruit of tree of knowledge of good & evil
or you die
MAN'S TESTS & RESPONSIBILITY: Man would have a personal relationship with God until his fall.
God knew man would disobey His law & sin. God planned for his salvation.
JUDGMENT & MERCY: Man was to be punished by eternal death, but God had predestined,
elected, & chose a remnant to be saved before the foundation of the world.
ULTIMATE SALVATION: God Foreknow, Predestinates Calls, Justifies, & Glorifies His.
V) INNOCENCE DISPENSATION:
Man perfect without sin + perfect environment
(Eden) with many fruit trees to eat from (including the tree of life to live
forever) + only one law as a test to keep (not eat from tree of
knowledge of good & evil) resulting in man's sin & fall.
This dispensation has God's perfect
creation of the earth and man fall due to Adam's sin. Even in a near perfect
environment with only a single law not to eat of tree of knowledge of good
& evil as a test to man who fails. Satan as the tempter of Eve is present.
After they sin, they indirectly blame God for their failure. Eve blames the
snake (Satan) indirectly God for making the snake. Adam blames Eve who God gave
Adam (again God is at fault). This results in a punishment of death to mankind
as the sin nature will be in mankind's offspring. Man is expelled from

VI) ANTEDILUVIAN DISPENSATION:
Adam's sins gives man the knowledge of
good & evil + only
a few laws of God as a test (i.e. God worship, sacrifice, & respect
others lives); results in man's total corruption & violence.
This dispensation has people knowing good from evil from Adam's offspring by the fall. Man labors
for food & sacrifices some of it to God. Cain offering to God is poor,
& he kills Abel out of envy. Polygamy of multiple wives.
Angels with human woman. Man shows no respect to
either God or man. The earth was filled with corruption & violence. Man's
sins became so great that God regretted the creation of mankind & judges

earth; as one they built a tower to heaven to make
them a name when they should scatter

they went with others of a common language to a new place to live.
ULTIMATE SALVATION: God will use languages for His remnant to pray to Him.
VIII) FAITH DISPENSATION:
God worked with one man - Abraham to be patriarch
of a people (Jews), a land (
This dispensation has God selecting His man
- Abraham to be the father of believers in God & also the father of the
Jewish people by his son Isaac. Through the line of the Jewish people the
Messiah of
Abraham is the father of the faithful.
Abraham believed God & it was counted to him for righteousness. God chose a
person to be patriarch of His people of faith & the one true God.

ULTIMATE SALVATION: God blesses a remnant by faith in Jesus imputed righteousness
IX) LAW DISPENSATION:
Moses (leads Jewish slaves to
This dispensation has Moses receiving
God's commandments (moral, civil, ceremonial) to govern man's behaviors. This
occurred 430 years after Abrahamic covenant which is
still in effect when Mosaic covenant is instituted. The Mosaic covenant upon
which this dispensation was administered was conditional/mutual depending on
man responding. The laws was administrated by judge type rulers for ~450 years
after leaving Egypt until God added prophets & kings to administrate His
people & His kingdom on earth. The law was always a guide to shows man that
they can't keep it & must depend on God's grace and mercy of the Abraham
covenant, not their own works or efforts. The results is
their unbelief keeping them 40 years in the desert before entering the promise
land.

X)
With a moveable tabernacle including the
ark of the covenant for the place to worship God.
This dispensation has the Jewish people as
God's peculiar treasure, chosen people on earth to present the single God with
His laws. Their failure begins a cycle of the Jewish people sinning against
God. God then judges them by subjecting them to a foreign nation as punishment.
Then the people cry out to God & they repent. God raises a deliver (who
becomes the next generation's judge) & the sequence continues again. At a
later time the Jewish people request a king, thereby rejecting God as their
king. God has Samuel anoint Saul as their king even though God had prepared
David to be

administrator.
