На протяжении всей Библии, we see the unity between God the Father (Иегова), слово; Иисус, и Святой Дух. Однако, despite their unity and continuous cooperation, we see a distinction between their roles in the Bible. We can divide the Bible into three dispensations. Какие три устроения описаны в Библии?? The three dispensations in the Bible are the dispensation of God the Father (Иегова Бог), the dispensation of God the Son Jesus Christ (слово), and the dispensation of God the Holy Spirit.
Создание
The Bible begins in the Book of Genesis with the creation. Элохим (Бог (Иегова), слово; Иисус и Святой Дух) created the heaven and the earth and all there is within. El-Elohim created man after Their own image and consisted of a spirit, душа, и тело. These three elements became one and were called: мужчина. Man was perfectly created and walked after the spirit.
Однако, God had given man a free will. Therefore man could decide to obey the words of God or not obey the words of God.
When the devil; противник Бога, came and tempted man, man became curious and began to doubt the words of God.
Man believed the words of the devil above the words of God and became непослушный Богу. As a result of man’s disobedience to God, the spirit in man died and the flesh began to reign.
At that moment the perfect relationship between God and man was broken. Man was no longer spiritual but carnal. This became visible in the natural realm because Adam and Eve became conscious of their body and noticed that they were naked. From the moment that they became disobedient to God, the spirit in man died and the devil, the death reigned in the flesh of the carnal man.
But God had a new plan to restore His relationship with man. There had to come новое творение; новый человек, since the old creation; the old man was affected by evil and therefore corrupted. This plan of God consisted of the coming of His Son Jesus Christ, Who would deal with the sinful nature in man, that ruled in the старое творение, и смерть, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, Who would raise the spirit of man from the dead and would dwell in the new creation; новый человек.
Until the fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption, God had a temporary solution to deal with sinful nature, so that God could have a relationship with mankind. Через подношения животных, the blood of animals would temporarily make atonement for the sins and iniquities of fallen man, so that God could have a relationship with the пожилой человек.
The dispensation of God (Иегова)
The first dispensation in the Bible is from Genesis until Malachi and is the dispensation of God the Father. We see the relationship between God (Иегова) and His carnal people; Дом Израилев. We read about their relationship and all the works God did for His people. God spoke to His people through the mouth of His prophets, to guide them. He gave them the law, через Моисея, who was His servant and representative, so that His will became known to His people.
But God’s people weren’t always willing to listen to God and obey God. Despite God’s warnings, they often went their own way and compromised with the world, because they wanted to be like the Gentiles and live like the other nations.
Но каждый раз, they went their own way and adopted the habits and customs of the pagan nations, they got into trouble. That’s because God had removed His hand from His people (Читайте также: ‘Что происходит, когда нация забывает Бога?').
The people of God had chosen to become apostates from God. They made their own choice to live like the Gentiles; мир. The people of God were responsible for breaking the relationship and covenant, не Бог.
На протяжении всего Ветхого Завета, we see continuous periods of apostasy and periods of dedication to God.
One moment the king and the people of God served God and the next moment they became непослушный to His law and became apostates and adopted the customs and habits of the Gentiles and began to serve strange gods. Until someone arose from the midst of God’s people, читать Закон Моисеев, and exhorted the people to покаяться and dedicate themselves again to God.
As soon as the people repented, God turned back to His people and took care of them and became their God again.
In this dispensation, we see the righteous любовь к Богу and His mercy and faithfulness to His people. We see God’s omnipotence and His wondrous works and miracles.
Throughout this dispensation, we see the unity and relation between God (Иегова), слово; Иисус, и Святой Дух.
God prophesied through the mouth of His prophets about the пришествие Мессии: Jesus the Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
The dispensation of Jesus Christ; слово
The second dispensation is from Matthew until Acts 1:9. In this dispensation, Jesus Christus; the Word is the center. We read about the coming of Jesus Christ, Сын Божий. Иисус; the living Word who became flesh, came to the earth as Мессия, just as God prophesied through the mouths of His prophets.
In this dispensation, we see the relationship between Jesus Christ and the carnal people of God (Израиль). We see Jesus; the Word in action and see all the signs, чудеса, and wonders He did in the power of the Holy Spirit, among God’s people.
Jesus represented God the Father and His Kingdom. He preached and brought the Kingdom of God to the старый плотский человек; the people of Israel. Despite the fact, that in this dispensation Jesus is the center, we see the unity and relation between God the Father, Иисус, и Святой Дух.
Jesus came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel
Jesus the Messiah came in the first place for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not for the Gentiles (Мэтью 15:24). He even compared the woman, who was a gentile, with a dog! But because of her great faith and perseverance, she got what she asked for (Мэтью 15:21-28)
Many times Christians say Jesus was a friend and ate with tax collectors and prostitutes. They say this to justify their friendships with ungodly people; the world and to justify the fact, that they live just like the world. But their statement is not quite right. Jesus indeed ate with tax collectors and prostitutes, но…
Прежде всего, по плоти, they belonged to God’s people and were considered the lost sheep of the house of Israel. They were considered sinners on the basis of their works. Therefore they were treated as the Gentiles and were locked out of the congregation of God.
Во-вторых, when they heard the words of Jesus and were confronted with their sins, они раскаялся from their way and turned away from their works, and turned to Jesus. The Pharisees still considered the tax collectors and prostitutes as грешники and because of the fact that Jesus ate with them, they assumed that Jesus was a friend of sinners and that He approved and allowed their sins. But the Pharisees didn’t know that the sinners of God’s people had раскаялся. The Pharisees still considered them and treated them as sinners, but Jesus didn’t consider them as sinners anymore, because of their repentance (Читайте также: ‘Был ли Иисус другом мытарей?).
Иисус примирил человека с Богом
Jesus came to restore the relationship between God the Father and the old fallen man, which was broken in the Сад Эдема. He became the Son of man, and took all the sins and iniquities of fallen man upon Him and destroyed the nature of fallen man in His flesh and reconciled man back to God.
In this dispensation, Мы видим пришествие Иисуса Христа, Его дело искупления and the redemption of the пожилой человек; the old carnal fallen man.
Jesus prophesied to His disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit. He announced the coming of another Comforter; Святой Дух. Just like the Father announced the coming of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
The dispensation of the Holy Spirit
The third and final dispensation begins in Acts 2 and is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. We see the coming of the Holy Spirit and the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the new creation; новичок. The new creations are the church; Тело Иисуса Христа. In this dispensation, we also see the unity and relationship between God the Father, Иисус; Слово и Святой Дух. The Holy Spirit represents the Father and Jesus Christ; the Word in the new creation; новый человек.
The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus Christ, just like Jesus testified about His Father. They are inseparable, так же, как новичок consists of a spirit, душа, и тело
In this dispensation, we see the works of the Holy Spirit.
We read about the signs, чудеса, и чудеса, He did through the new man. Just like Jesus did, Кто был First of the new creation.
Without the Holy Spirit, the new man cannot do anything. The new man is totally dependent on Him, точно так же, как Иисус.
The promise and coming of the Comforter; the Holy Spirit was in the first case meant for the people of Israel. But by the grace of God, salvation and the promise also came unto the Gentiles (римляне 11:11). Каждый, who believed in Jesus Christ and was willing to lay down his sinful nature and turn away from his sin and serve God, had the opportunity to become родился заново в духе, и стать новым творением; a son of God and part of the body of Christ.
Каждый, who is born again in Jesus Christ and grafted on Jesus Christ, belongs to the true people of God and possesses the Holy Spirit. This third and final dispensation is still in force and will last until the end of time.
