Chapter 8 Man's Failures and sin through the Dispensations
Guiding Principle examined: Rule 5 of 7 - Failure of Man’s obedience and sin. All 7 Keys or guiding principles are common to all dispensations and without all seven principles a dispensation does not change.
5. Failure of Man’s obedience - With the failure of man we see changes which happened in time, not that time was or is the controlling factor but the events of man's failure and God's longsuffering coming to an end. Coupled with the foreknowledge, purpose, patience and the love of God the dispensation ends. Man fails in every dispensation except the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. The eternal dispensation never ends it is completely under the redemption brought about by God through Christ Jesus which is eternal, Ephesians 1:10.
Man's Failures and sin through the Dispensations
Witnessing, teaching, training, and warning the lost is a universal responsibility. Witnessing was and is the personal responsibility of the instruments in accord to their particular dispensation. Conversion is at the heart of God for He 'is not willing that any should perish' 2 Peter 3:9, but men perish because they reject the message of God through God's stewards proclaiming His word given for mankind's salvation, John 3:16-21, Psalms 27:1, 34:11, Ezekiel 3:17-21, 2 Peter 2:5, Deuteronomy 6:1-17, Titus 1:1-10, 2 Timothy 2:2, Proverbs 11:3, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Psalms 40:9,10, Psalms 116:13,14, Romans 10:14-17.
God preserves all who come to Him
Isaiah 56,
1 John 5:13,
John 10,
Romans 8, the Old Testament saints both the saved Jews and the saved
Gentiles are the call out believers of the eternal inheritance prescribed by God
with the New Testament saints.
God in Mercy and Grace has extended His Longsuffering, giving man the opportunity to realize that apart from God, mankind would never be able to be holy and righteous. Man was/is shown through the different dispensations, how God gave many opportunities which ended with man’s failure
Innocence– man failed trusting God and disobeyed wanting to be god like - sin came into the world and death (Man was created without sin but chose to sin). Innocence gone, Genesis 3:1-8, Romans 5.
Conscience– man failed to keep from the sins of their imagination and their own making and it became the norm - the world wide flood came because man did that which was right in his own eyes (Man left alone hoping he would Choose God but man did that which was right in his own eyes). The conscience was ineffective to lead man in correctness, Genesis 6:5,12, 1 Peter 3:20, 2 Peter 2:5.
Human Government - man failed by false worship, uniting in a common effort (or religion) to create the tower at Babel (Man wanted to follow God by his invention and established his own way to God instead of God’s revealed way). Human government could not keep or cause man to follow God, Genesis 11:4-6.
Promise through a chosen family – Romans 9:4,5 the select family Israel, failed in mercy by rejecting obedience (they found out the Law which was added was unbearable, Galatians 3:16-19, Act 15:5-10 the law only made them slaves incapable of having any change in their hearts apart from God making change possible, Romans 8:3) - they rejected the Father's Theocracy in the Dispensation of Promise under the Old Covenant (Testament), Isaiah 1:2-4, chapter 5 note verse 13, Malachi 1:6 then they rejected the Son and crucified Him by the hands of the Gentiles, John 19, Act 13:26;30, 38-41 and finally they rejected the Holy Spirit's offer of forgiveness and leadership, Act 7;1- 50, Act 7:51-60, 13:46, 18-4-6, 28:23-29. Their rejection has postponed the, promises and leadership as a Nation. Israel was laid aside and the 70th week of Daniel postponed until His completion of the Body of Christ the church age, Romans 11. God inserted this mystery dispensation stopping or postponing the final 70th week judgment for the Nation of Israel and the world, Revelation chapter 1 through 20:6
Grace/Equality – man failed under equality in grace - Lovers of Self, left behind from the rapture for the Tribulation wrath judgment (All man on equal basis were given opportunity to be set free by grace but this grace is rejected by mankind). The 70th week of Daniel is the judgment of two dispensations. 1 Timothy 4:1-4, 2 Timothy 3:1-7, 2 Thessalonians1 and 2, Revelation.
Christ’s Earthly Kingdom - man failed in a perfect Government and when Satan is released from the bottomless pit. A unknown number will follow Satan and rebel against the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect Kingdom, (Man did not turn to God in a perfect rule). Psalm 66:1-10, Revelations 20:7-10, Isaiah 65:11-12, 20 (Battle of Gog and Magog).
