TWO-FOLD PLAN OF GODGod created TWO AGENCIES to reconcile Satan's rebellion both on EARTH and in the HEAVENS:1st - NATION OF ISRAEL (God's Earthly people)2nd - THE CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST (God's Heavenly people)These two different agencies require TWO OPERATING SYSTEMS: Law vs Grace.These two distinct and opposing spiritual operating systems (Romans 10:4,11:6 KJV) were REVEALED IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS by God: Prophecy vs Mystery. One was revealed since the world began (Luke 1:70; Acts 3:21 KJV), the latter was kept secret since the world began (Romans 16:25 KJV) until revealed in due time (1Timothy 2:6-7 KJV).NATION OF ISRAEL --> God's word to them was given via PROPHECY with the Law as their operating system.BODY OF CHRIST--> God's word given to us via the MYSTERY with the dispensation of Grace being our operating system.TWO different and separate groups of people and TWO different and separate operating instructions revealed by God in TWO different ways. These TWO aren't to be mixed or combined; they are to be kept separate as they are distinct and contrary to one another in many ways. However, both agencies are designed by God to fulfill God's ultimate plan and purpose of centering everything in the universe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.ISRAEL - Prophecy - Law - Earthly promises (12 apostles)BODY OF CHRIST - Mystery - Grace - Heavenly promises (1 apostle: Paul)Paul was most definitely a follower of Jesus Christ (1Co 11:1 KJV)! However, Paul was a follower of Christ's HEAVENLY ministry via the Mystery, and not Jesus' EARTHLY ministry which was to the Jews only through Prophecy.Mark 1:1 (KJV): "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; [2] As it is written in the PROPHETS," ... Acts 3:21 (KJV): "... which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN."Romans 16:25 (KJV): "NOW to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY GOSPEL, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was KEPT SECRET since the world began," ~apostle PAULWhile God gave the Law to Moses to give to the nation of Israel, Jesus from Heaven had apostle Paul to dispense the gospel of GRACE to all nations.Apostle Paul Writes,1 Timothy 2:6 (KJV): “[ i.e. Christ ] Who gave himself a ransom for all, TO BE TESTIFIED IN DUE TIME.”1 Timothy 2:4-7 (KJV): "[ i.e. God the Father ] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, TO BE TESTIFIED IN DUE TIME. WHEREUNTO I AM ORDAINED a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity."Ephesians 3:2-3 (KJV): "If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE of God which is GIVEN ME to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the MYSTERY;"Paul was the due time testifier of God's GRACE via the Mystery._________________________Genesis thru Mid Acts KJV=PROPHECY (Time Past)Romans thru Philemon KJV=MYSTERY (But Now)Hebrews thru Revelation KJV =PROPHECY (Ages To Come)( NOTE: The book of ACTS is the record of God changing the program from Law to Grace, from Prophecy to Mystery, from Peter's authority to Paul's authority, from Israel to the Body of Christ. )_______________________________The basic CHARACTERISTIC of "Time Past" and "Ages To Come" is that God distinguishes between the CIRCUMCISION and the UNCIRCUMCISION (Jews vs Gentiles) and separates them from one another.The basic CHARACTERISTIC of the "But Now" scriptures/time period is that God DOESN'T distinguish between the circumcision and the uncircumcision. In the "But Now" both Jews and Gentiles are saved by Grace through faith without the works of the Law, and they are one and a new creature in Christ._________________________________NEW COVENANT, OLD COVENANT & THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE DIFFERENCESThese differences are critical.The NEW COVENANT is God’s blessing of grace through Israel, their covenants, and their law written in their hearts.The FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is God’s grace given to all freely without Israel, without their earthly covenants, and without their law written in hearts.Whereas under the OLD COVENANT God was the law giver, and under the NEW COVENANT God in Christ was the law keeper, under the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY God in Christ is the law remover (Rom 6:14; Col 2:14).Whereas the OLD COVENANT was given to Israel, and the NEW COVENANT was given to believing Israel,the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is for all that believe the gospel of Christ: Jew or Gentile (2 Cor 5:17; Eph 2:15; Col 3:11). There is no place in the one body of the mystery for a separation between Israel and Gentile.Whereas the OLD and NEW COVENANTS are the subject of PROPHECY to fulfill God’s promise of blessing through Israel,the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY was not revealed in any promise from God since the world began (Rom 16:25).The FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is not the fulfillment of any covenant, prophecy, or promise given to Israel. The DISPENSATION OF GRACE was hid in God until revealed to the apostle Paul for the church today (Eph 3:1-2; Eph 3:9-11).__________________________________KJV ONLY!It is vital to know that the modern bible versions change the wording so much in their text that the dispensational truths are hidden and often times completely destroyed. Whereas, in the Holy BibleAuthorized King James Version, God's dispensational distinctions are PRESERVED and clearly understood when we are rightly dividing the word of truth.Therefore, it is wise for any serious Bible student to make the text of the KJV Bible their final and absolute AUTHORITY========================SHARE COPY PASTE EDIFY
