The Study of the Seven Dispensations

In the beginning of any line of investigation, it is well to mark off as definitely as possible the field that we propose to study. This is necessary to give definiteness to our efforts; otherwise, we shall engage only in aimless wondering. Here we shall make a preliminary survey of our field and look at some phases of the subject. What is the idea and scope of human history, known as Dispensations?
Human history started on the 6th day when God created the first human. Man began as innocence until the 7th dispensation "The Kingdom." Man was tested and tried; when he failed it brought judgement. In this history of man, we see the creation of man (human), the test of obedience, the trait, fall and then the results.
Each dispensation will be discussed as well, and in each dispensation, God shows His mercy; and plans a way for salvation. This study will also point out the duration of the dispensations, the first man that was born and the first murderer. There is an intimidation in the curse imposed on Eve, "I will greatly multiply thy conception," (Genesis 3:16) that births were not only frequent, but that several children will be born at one time. There was no other way that the human race could multiply as it did in those days.
Intermarriage played a part in one of the judgements. We will look at the seven of tribulations, the Millennial and end with the White Throne Judgement.
