The Persecution of the Church Begins

And they killed the ones announcing beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One, of Whom now betrayers and murders you have come to be

Acts 7:51-8:11

7.51 Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in the heart and ears, you are always falling against the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, also you. 7.52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed the ones announcing beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One, of Whom now betrayers and murders you have come to be, 7.53 you whoever received the law because of regulations from messengers and you did not guard. 7.54 And after hearing these things, they were cut to their hearts and began gnashed their teeth upon him. 7.55 And existing full of the Holy Spirit, while gazing into the heaven, he discerned the glory of God and Jesus standing out from God’s right hand. 7.56 And he said, “Look with discernment, I am watching the heavens after being opened and the Son of man in a state of standing out from the right hand of God.” 7.57 And crying with a load voice, they held their ears and rushed with one accord upon him. 7.58 And after casting him outside of the city, they began stoning him. And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul, 7.59 and continued stoning Stephen while he called and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 7.60 And after setting on his knees, he cried out with a load voice, “Lord, do not stand this sin to them.” And he fell asleep after saying this.

Acts

Stephen before the Council

The Jews Opposing Stephen and the Word of God

Could not stand against his wisdom.

Incited the people to commit a crime and dragged him before the Council.

Brought false witnesses against him to charge him with blasphemy.

Acts 6:7-15

6.7 And the Word of God was increasing, and the number of disciples was exceedingly multiplying in Jerusalem, and a great crowd of the priests were obedient to the faith. 6.8 And Stephen, full of faith and inherent ability, was doing wonders and great signs among the people. 6.9 And some rose up from the ones out from the synagogue of the one called freedman, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of the ones from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephan. 6.10 And they did not have the strength to stand against the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 6.11 Then they incited men to commit a crime while saying that we heard from him saying utterances of blasphemy against Moses and the God.  6.12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes and after seizing they dragged him and lead unto the council. 6.13 And false witnesses stood saying, “This man does not cease to utter blasphemy, speaking against the Holy place and the law. 6.14 For we heard from him saying that Jesus of Nazareth, this one will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed over to us.” 6.15 And after gazing upon him all the ones sitting on the council saw his face as if a face of a messenger.

Galatians

Out from Faith verses out from Law

Galatians 4:12-31

4.12 You become as I am, because I also am as you, brethren, I urge you. You have done me no unrighteousness. 4.13 Indeed you intuitively know that through weakness in the flesh I first brought you the good news. 4.14 And my test, the one in my body, you did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger from God you received me, as Christ Jesus. 4.15 Therefore where is your happiness? For you testify concerning me that if, assuming it were true, you had the natural ability you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 4.16 So have I, the one telling you the truth, become your enemy? 4.17 They are zealous to you, not properly, but they desire to exclude you in order that your zeal should be to them. 4.18 And it is proper to be zealous always in doing well, and not only in my presences facing you. 4.19 My children, who again I labor in birth until which Christ is metamorphosized in you. 4.20 But I wish to be present facing you now, and to change my voice, because I am at a loss among you. 4.21 Say to me, the ones desiring to be under law, do you not listen to the law? 4.22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one out from maidservant and one out from the free woman. 4.23 But on the one hand the one out from the maidservant was born according to the flesh, on the other hand the one out form the free woman through the promise. 4.24 This […]

Dispensations and Ages

A Dispensation is a period in time in which God gives His expectations for the conduct of life through a steward for those in the household.

  1. The household is made up of people God is specifically dealing with – whether all of mankind or only a specific group.
  2. There is only one steward for each dispensation.
    • Scripture shows only one person per dispensation being given the expectations for those in the household
    • Even after the death of the Steward no other steward is put in his place
    • Most stewards did not die
    • When a steward died before the end of the Dispensation the instructions are passed down to those in the household through written word.
  3. When the steward is changed the expectations for the manner of life of the household changed
  4. Dispensations are for men and through them God shows something to mankind about mankind.

The Rules for Determining How to Define a Dispensation

Requirement for setting the rules to determine a dispensational period in Scripture

Must be taken from Scripture.

Based on the normal use of dispensation in the everyday language.

Makeup of a dispensation

Master – God

Steward, Genesis 41:41-43 ; 43:19

Household

At times it is all humanity.

Other times it is only specific groups of mankind (Jews, the Church).

A household can have only one steward at a time, Luke 16:2 .

The steward is responsible for dispensing the rules to the household, Luke 12:42 .

Only the person given the instructions for God’s expectation of conduct for the household is the steward.
