Webster’s
Dictionary says: An adherence to or
advocacy of a system of interpreting history in terms of a series of God’s
dispensations.
There
are exactly seven dispensations. By my
interpretation of the following listed dispensations, God has created seven as
the perfect number and therefore seven dispensations fits with his overall plan
of mankind on earth.
Here
are the seven listed dispensations:
Notice
that each dispensation is a certain length of time. Each one is marked by an
exact change, and they are back-to-back (e.g. one leads immediately into the
next). This is because God has been and always will be in control of time.
