The Dispensational Principle
Unless one understands the dispensations, one cannot understand God’s Book, and it becomes a Book of confusion and contradictions.
A dispensation is a period of time during which God deals in a particular way with man in respect to sin and man’s responsibility.
The word “dispensation” means “administration” and is first found in
Luke 16:2,3,4 as stewardship. (Luke 16:2 ESV) “management”
Then 1 Cor. 9:17; Eph 1:10, 3:2; Col 1:25 as dispensation.
Someone has truly said, “time is an island in the sea of eternity,
which is divided into different dispensations or periods of time.”
