I like to use the term "time periods" as a disp. point of view.

These time periods are legitimate eras' of time, in which God dealt with mankind with a dispensing of certain rule or rules to live by.

Each time period ends up judging man for his failure and a new time period is built upon the existing ones.(with a few exceptions).

God had dispensed His rule over mankind within these periods of time.



dis·pense
dəˈspens/
verb
1.
distribute or provide (a service or information) to a number of people.

Dispensation #1...Innocence, ends in judgement. All future mankind still in its' effect.

#2....Conscience, ends in judgement, yet God still uses the conscience to condemn man of sin.

#3....Human govt.,, ends in judgement via dispersion of languages, yet still in effect today.

#4...Promise, Israel judged by God in bondage for about 400 years, yet it is still in effect today by an ongoing promise to Abraham.

#5....Law, ends in judgement for sin at Calvary for SAINTS only, yet sinners are still under the curse of the Law(and its' condemnation)

#6.....Grace, an extension of Promise and same covenant as future Millennial reign(BOTH SAINTS AND NATIONAL ISRAEL INCLUDED), will end in judgement to those that do not accept Christ(Tribulation).

#7....1000 year Millennial reign, A time period of the reign of Jesus Christ over all mankind from Jerusalem, to end in judgement at the loosing of satan in Rev. 20.

THAT WILL WRAP UP TIME AND HISTORY.

Bingo.

The author is trying to create a balanced alternative between reformed and dispensational theological systems. In doing so, he has simply concocted another man-made theological scheme.

All theological systems are to be judged by how accurately or inaccurately they represent the teachings of the Bible. This then proves there is a true "Biblical Theology" which serves as the standard. We would be better served attempting to find that theology rather than trying to create a brand-name system of our own.

All theological "systems" are man-made, in that the Bible does not present a "systematic presentation of doctrine" similar to a systematic theology. Hence, all systematic theologies and systems of theology are nothing more than TEACHING, a body of doctrines, a syllabus and curriculum of presenting Biblical data. Every system of theology is a particular teacher's presentation of doctrine.

Keeping that in mind keeps us from swearing allegiance to a particular, formulaic system invented by men. Unfortunately, men seem to always want to do just that. Hence, they do not study the Bible so much as they study theological systems. And so orthodoxy gets determined by how accurately a belief represents a particular theological system, rather than by how accurately a belief conforms to Scripture.

Systematic theologies can be more or less useful, but one must avoid the trap of using them as a replacement of the Bible standard.

How did you not see the changes?

No dispensation ENDED, only judgement came.

More Laws of God were added because of transgression.

You can't see the modification?

How can you criticize Dipies if you dont read their ideas?
