Hebrews 9:24-26
“For Christ
is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of
the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.:
V25Nor yet
that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy
place every year with blood of others;
V26 For then
must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of
Himself.”
The writer
of Hebrews has a clean understanding, that the dispensation of grace, that the
writer was living in, was also the same dispensation of time before the end of
the age.
We are
nearing the year 6,000 since time was recorded.
And we
believe (based on the apostles writings and the testimony of Jesus) that the
resurrection of Jesus Christ was the beginning of the dispensation of grace -
the end of the age.
Up until
the resurrection of Jesus 5 previous dispensations of time passed, covering
approximately 4,000 years.
1st Edenic covenant or dispensation
2nd Adamic or conscience dispensation
3rd Noahic or human government dispensation
4th The Abrahamic covenant
5th Mosaic or the law covenant
6th Grace
And the 7th,
where we are headed, is the kingdom age.
The
previous 5 covenants took around 4,000 years of human
history. We are in the dispensation of
grace and its been nearly 2,000 years since the beginning of the dispensation
of grace.
The
dispensation of grace has taken about 1/3 of recorded time, whereas the
previous 5 dispensations took only 2/3's.
We are at
the end of the age of grace.
God is
pouring out His Spirit upon us like never before in all history. We need to receive this once in all creation
blessing. This is not a once in a
lifetime thing, or once in a century, or once in a millennium, this is a once
in all creation thing.
If you ignore so
great a time as this, you have not seen, nor do you understand what God is doing,
not only globally, but in your own life as well.
