They are both in scripture BUT there is a difference! DISPENSATION – a system of order, government, or organization of a nation, community, etc., especially as existing at a particular time. COVENANT – Literally, a contract. In the Bible (see also Bible), an agreement between God and his people, in which God makes promises to his people and, usually, requires certain conduct from them. In the Old Testament, God made agreements with Noah, Abraham, and Moses. 1 Corinthians 9:17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensationof the gospel is committed unto me. Ephesians 1:1That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 3:2If ye have heard of the dispensationof the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Colossians 1:25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensationof God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Luke 1:72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holycovenant; Acts 3:25Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Acts 7:8And he gave him the covenantof circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. Romans 1:31Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Romans 9:4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Romans 11:27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Galatians 4:24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. Ephesians 2:12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Hebrews 8:6-10 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a bettercovenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that firstcovenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Hebrews 8:13In that he saith, A newcovenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Hebrews 9:1Then verily the firstcovenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Hebrews 9:4Which had the golden censer, and the ark of thecovenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of thecovenant; Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Hebrews 10:29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 12:24And to Jesus the mediator of the newcovenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 13:20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlastingcovenant
When talking with people about the Bible, Spiritual things, Salvation, etc… The subject of just “WHO IS JESUS” will arise. Most will say he is a prophet, the son of God. When they are told that He was (is) God in flesh, the response is: “Nowhere in the Bible does it say JESUS IS GOD”, and that is a true statement.
However, as one searches the Scripture there are many statements proving the He was (is) in fact: God. Just a Few in Isaiah: First there is only God: Isaiah 41:4, 43:10-12, 45:5-7,14,18,21-22, 46:9. Only ONE God. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. A promise (fulfilled in Matthew 1-2, Luke 2).
The apostle John said Jesus was God: John 1:1-3,10-14. (Jesus is the Word).
The Scriptures state that the Lord Jesus created the world. Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16, Revelation 4:11, 10:6
But look at the following: The Lord Jesus said (Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
“My Words,” he was speaking of the Scriptures, The Old Testament. Who wrote the Bible? God! HE is claiming that He is God.
Genesis 1:1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isaiah 43:10-11Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. Isaiah44:8Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah45:5-7 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:21-22 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Isaiah 48:16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Mark 12:32And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 1 Corinthians 8:6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
It’s about time, it’s about space It’s all about the human race. It’s about man and his evil ways, And he continues in sin all his days. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about me, it’s about you, It’s about our being sinners too! It’s about sin and what it cost, All about dying and being lost. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about heaven and another place, It’s about God’s redeeming grace. It’s about what happens to the soul, It’s about the day and where you’ll go. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about the man from Galilee, Who lived his life perfectly, To fulfill the law and pay the price That I should die only once, not twice. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about the price that had to be paid, It’s about God and the sacrifice He made. It’s about His Son upon the cross, It’s about His dying for the lost. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about His coming up out of the grave, Victory He promised, lost souls to save! Taken into Heaven amidst all Glory and Laud, Seated on His throne next to God! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about life, new life eternally, Life that’s a gift, completely free. Life that’s given to those who believe, And who Christ as Savior will believe! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about accepting God’s great love, It’s about rising to new heights above. Above the world and it’s evil way, Looking ahead for Christ to return some day. That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about His coming to take me home, To dwell with Him no more to roam. With power over sin, no more to stray, Power from Him will be given that day! That’s the Bible, The word of God.
It’s about that wonderous, glorious time, To hear the Master claim “This one’s mine”! We’ll be with Him forever to praise, Forever, forever no ending of days! That’s the Bible, The Word of God.
As one studies these in the Scripture, it does appear that God uses the elements to show that He is God. They are used to discipline mankind as we continue to reject Him.
There are several doors mentioned in the Scripture, including: Door to the Ark Genesis 6:16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. Passover Door Exodus 12:7,22-23And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. … And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. Temple Door 1 Kings 6:8The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third. Narrow Door (Gate) Matthew 7:13-14Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Door to the sheep fold John 10:1-9 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Door of faith Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. The Apostle Paul speaks of a door: 1 Corinthians 16:9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 2 Corinthians 2:12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, Colossians 4:3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: The Lord’s Brother, James warns the Jews: James 5:9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. The Risen and ascended Lord warns the assembles: Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The Apostle John called up into heaven to see the future: Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
An image used as an object of worship. A false god. One that is adored.
The best definition of an Idol is found it the Second Commandment: Exodus 20:4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. And yet today, how many religions today have images (idols) of things; that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. They have these images in their churches, homes and even in their automobiles. And how many people pray to these idols as mediators to God? Yet Paul writes: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;1 Timothy 2:5 And Paul expounds on this Mediator in Hebrews: Hebrews 8:6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Hebrews 9:15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. When we pray, we pray to God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 5:4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 6:11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Ephesians 5:20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Not all IDOLS have an Image: IDOLS INCLUDE:
GRAVEN IMAGE:
An idol or fetish carved in wood or stone.
A carved idol or representation of a god used as an object of worship.
A material effigy that is worshipped. “money was his god“
END TIMES – ETERNITY 12:1 Following the Tribulation: Compare Isaiah 26:20Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Compare Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. 12:2-3 At the end of the 1000 years, resurrection(s) Compare Revelation 20:12-13 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 12:4 Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Compare Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me (John), Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 12:4-7 Daniel continues to talk with two men (Angels). 12:8-10 Daniel says I understood not: He is told Go thy way, the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. In the middle of Tribulation, Antichrist turn on the Jews. 3 ½ years to go. 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (3.6 years) 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (3.7 years) 12:13 Daniel is told: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. It’s coming soon: Rapture (of Believers) Tribulation (7 years) 1000 year reign of Christ Great White Throne Eternity !!!!!
