Dispensations

No catastrophe, no political  maneuvering or national turmoil

has ever caught God off guard; from eternity past, His omniscience

foresaw every event. More important, He controls history without

coercing human volition. Free will was the issue in the creation of

man and continues to be paramount in this stage of the angelic con-

-flict. Bible doctrine in the soul is the basis for correctly evaluating our

own spiritual advance and our personal relationship to contemporary

events.

By means of doctrine we learn that the ages (dispensations)

have been put together by the word (decree) from God, with

the result that what is being seen has not come to pass from

those who are visible (expanded trans., Heb. 11:3)
