Dispensations

Dispensations: Genesis 14:19 ..."Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 

By definition dispensations means a period of time expressing divine viewpoint of human history, the divine outline of history, or the divine interpretation of human history, which encompasses four general categories: Gentiles, Jews, Church, Christ.

The word "DISPENSATION" means the same as the word "STEWARDSHIP." A DISPENSATION is a stewardship and this stewardship involves three things:

1. THE LORD OF THE HOUSE:  If there is a stewardship then there must be a LORD or OWNER of the house! There must be One who lays down the "laws of the house."

2. THE HOUSE:  Not only must there be a Lord or an Owner, but there also must be a domain over which the Lord executes His rule and shows His authority. God's house is the WORLD.

3. THE STEWARD: There must be a Lord (Owner) and there must be a House and there must also be a steward. The steward is the one who has been made responsible.

so... 

The Lord of the house is THE LIVING GOD.
The house is THE WORLD.
The steward of the house is MANKIND.
