You can mark the clues with colors and the age of death. The task should motivate the reader to seek wisdom and facts. For example, you separate the readings based on the birth of the important people. You can include clip art or a sticker for the reading. Then, you should write the interesting teaching. Give some space for each box, so that later you can give a mark. The table should consist of the name of the prophets or the order from Genesis. The Bible records ALL of God’s plan and purpose – His “TIME PAST” dealings with Israel, His “NOW” dealings with us, and the resumption of Israel’s program yet “TO COME.” The RIGHT DIVISION of the Bible in accordance with this layout is the key to its proper handling and understanding.First, it is the table. Israel’s “fulness” is yet “TO COME.” In accordance with this the books of Hebrews through The Revelation follow Paul’s epistles in the Divine layout of the Bible, and they focus upon the resumption and fulfillment of God’s program with Israel. As Paul teaches in Romans 9-11, God will resume and fulfill His program and dealings with Israel after this present dispensation is over. Yet God is by no means through with Israel. Paul is the “apostle of the Gentiles” in accordance with the revelation of “the mystery.” Hence it is in his epistles of Romans through Philemon that we have the doctrine and instruction from God that is directly TO us and expressly ABOUT us today.ĭuring this present dispensation of grace God is NOT carrying out His program with Israel. “BUT NOW” God has temporarily suspended Israel’s program and the dispensation of Gentile grace is now in effect. To Paul God revealed the “mystery of Christ” – a secret purpose which He has in Christ involving a new dispensation and a “new creation.” Until Paul was raised up God’s program with Israel was in effect. However when God raised up the apostle Paul as a brand new apostle (Acts 9) things changed.

(Ephesians 2:11-12) This portion of the Bible records God’s special covenant dealings with Israel and the outworking of His program with them before this present dispensation.

We Gentiles were “without Christ” and “without God in the world” at this time. In the books of Genesis through Malachi, along with the four Gospels and the opening chapters of the book of Acts, God sets forth the details of the “TIME PAST” aspect of His program and dealings with Israel. The chart on this page illustrates the RIGHT DIVISION of God’s word. Which are a shadow of things TO COME but the body is of Christ. That in the ages TO COME he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
