Emile, I want to know if you disagree with any of these statements.The Present Evil Age (Dispensation of Grace) God dispenses Grace to a lost and dying world.(Eph. 3:2) A new creation is brought into existence, known as the Church, the Body of Christ, which is made up of Jews and Gentiles without distinction! Believers are baptised into one Body by the Spirit.(1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:5) We are no longer under the law but under Grace.That means that their are no ordinances to be observed during this dispensation. (Does not exclude the Lord's Supper observation.) Members of Christ's Body are responsible to preach Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the Mystery of Grace. (Rom. 16:25; 1 Cor. 9:16-18) The Church has failed miserably to even acknowledge the Mystery, let alone making it known. Time still remains "to make all men see what is the fellowship of the Mystery." (Eph. 3:9) The Rapture of the Church is Imminent. 1 Thess. 1:10;4:13-18; Titus 2:13) Judgement: At the sounding of the trump, the members of Christ's Body will all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ. It will be determined whether we have been faithful to the message of Grace that God called us to proclaim. (Rom. 14:10; 1 Cor. 3:9-17; 11 Cor. 5:10,11)The Kingdom Age (dispensation of Divine Goverment) God dispenses wrath and justice on a Christ rejecting world. (Ps. 2:1-12) The Tribulation is a prelude to the coming millennial kingdom. The chief goal is to overthrow the kingdoms of tis world and establish the kingdom of Christ. The Kingdom Reign of Messiah-Duration is 1000 years. (Rev. 20:4,5,7) Throne of David is to be established. (11 Sam. 7:16,Matt 19:28;Acts 2:30) Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants will be fulfilled. Israel will be required to declare that Christ is indeed the Messiah of Israel. This is of course not the full message but I want to know if you agree with what I have presented so far. Respectfully, Santiago
