The Patriarchal
Dispensation
(The Fourth
Dispensation)
By Eric William King
A basic
outline of the Fourth Dispensation
looks something like this;
Patriarchal Responsibility: Genesis 12:1-7
Patriarchal Failure: Genesis
12:10; 46:6
Patriarchal Judgment: Exodus
1:8-14
The
Patriarchal Dispensation
starts with the call of Abraham and ends with the “Exodus”
of God’s people. This was a period lasting 430 years.
We know how long this dispensation lasted exactly because Apostle Paul told us
in Galatians
3:17.
We found that
the previous dispensation (the 3rd) ended with failure like the
others. The descendants of Noah got involved in paganism and idolatry. The
fourth dispensation which follows is sometimes referred to as “The Dispensation
of Family” and or “The Dispensation of Promise” because it starts with the “mother of all redemptive covenants” (the Abrahamic Covenant). God will choose Abraham. It is interesting to note that God protects a “race” of people. This does not mean that
God is a “racist”. God created all the
races. Even though the evidence would stand in court, there are many
deniers. In today’s world people get all jumpy over the differences of the
Human races as if we are all to pretend that we are all the same - as far as genetic mothers we are not.
The “Politically Correct” pandemic has now
infiltrated all the fallen denominations. Satan is busy trying to make
Christians paranoid. People are afraid to look at and accept the Biblical Truth
as well as the scientific truth on many issues. Be that as it may, let all True Christians stick to God and God’s
WORD….not mans.
True Christians will be persecuted for
believing in and holding to the Truth but that doesn’t change the Truth. True
Christians come from all the Human races.
Racial Promises
God promised
Abraham and his race an Unconditional Promise. God told Abraham to
leave his homeland of Ur.
Through Abraham’s seed (race) God
would bless ALL RACES. The name Abraham
means “Exalted
Father”. His ancestry traces to Noah. He was a descendant of Shem and thus of the Adamic race.
He was also the “son of Terah” the founder of the Hebrew race.
The entire
story of Abraham his extremely interesting and is perhaps the most important
Old Testament story of the Bible in regards to planet earth. I encourage you to read about this Great Man of Faith
(Genesis
11:10 through chapter 22). God put Abraham through many tests which
proved the integrity of Abraham. At age 75 he was commanded to leave all that
he had and travel to an unknown destination. He exhibited incredible faith (Hebrews 11: 8-19).
Abraham was not a “Jew”. He created the Jews. Jews
did not appear until Judah and his offspring, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
Note: Judah is the pro-generator of all Jews who
came a long time after Abraham.
God promised
that through Abraham’s “seed” many
nations would come forth, great land blessings and blessing for his race…the Israelite people
– all would come to pass. (Genesis 12:1-3; 13:14-18; 15:1-21; 17:4-8; 22:15-24;
26:1-5; 28:10-15)
Through this Adamic seed (Genesis 3:15) would come Jesus Christ Himself. So Abraham and his family obeyed God
and left Ur. God promised Abraham
that all the other races (the Gentiles) would be blessed by his
faith (Genesis
12:3). This alone proves that all God’s children are not from the
same race and thus from different mothers.
Abraham's Great Test (Genesis ch.22)
The Unconditional
Covenant
There are “Four Unconditional Covenants” given by God
in Holy Scripture. The Abrahamic Covenant is the
first of the four. This covenant given to Abraham is the basis of all other theocratic covenants.
The covenant given to Abraham is based on grace through faith.
It shows that God is the true Savior and not
and never mankind.
God would bless
Abraham, make his name great, give him many descendants, make him the father of
a multitude of nations, and give him
the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession. God would bless those who
blessed him and curse those who cursed him.
All races of the earth would be blessed through him because of the Redeemer who would be born through Israel. God protected Abraham and his
race all the way up until Jesus Christ was born thousands of years later. Even
today God has His elect.
Eventually Jacob was produced through Abraham’s
offspring and through Jacob (whose name was
changed to Israel) twelve sons would be born (from
different mothers) which would produce the “Twelve
Tribes of Israel”.
Joseph thrown in well by jealous brothers.
Fourth Dispensation Ends
The sons of Israel rebelled against the youngest son, Joseph.
They became jealous of Joseph because God called
Joseph, even though he was the youngest,
to become the leader and example of all Israel. In many ways Joseph typifies
Jesus Christ.
Remember,
some of the promises given to Abraham apply to literal Israel, his seed,
and finally to all other races, the Gentiles.
Joseph’s
brothers threw him into a well and
finally sold him into Egyptian slavery. Because of this Israel and all of his
family were lead into Egyptian slavery.
What would pull them out of this tragedy? - the coming 5th
Dispensation which would involve another new deliverer (Moses) and
the giving of the Mosaic Law – another
covenant.
Continue to
journey with us through all the Seven Dispensations.
Use your Bibles. Trust the Word of God above the fallen denominations and the “paranoid politically correct” cowards.
Jesus Christ said; “The
Truth shall set ye free.”

8:31-32)
Resting in
the finished work of Jesus Christ my Lord (King) and Savior,
