Msg #2243 Kingdom Age, The Final Dispensation

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The promises that the LORD God made to Israel about her upcoming Kingdom of Righteousness are myriad and all are slated to be fulfilled in the one-thousand year reign of Christ, as depicted in the twentieth chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. There is a lot to comprehend. A lad in kindergarten was assigned the daunting task of drawing a picture of anything he wanted. The teacher came by the busy artist and asked, “So, Eddy, what picture are you drawing?”

“I am drawing a picture of God!”

“O, my!”, she responded, and then explained, “Nobody really knows what God looks like.”

Eddy, with a new determination and a pencil in his hand said, “That is because I haven't finished my picture.”

And so, what does the millennial kingdom age look like? It is left as an exercise of the Bible student to follow through the thorough Kingdom Age summaries and chain listings of C. I. Scofield. Believing that God says what he means and means what he says will picture this final Kingdom Age dispensation. Israel regathered into her promised land, the lion and lamb, the desert in bloom and righteousness throughout the earth, it will all be fulfilled.

The Kingdom Age is the seventh and final demonstration that the heart of man is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.” It shows man's failing in responsibility and in stewardship when it ends poorly at Satan's release. Christ reigns for one-thousand years in a Utopian state, and even that does not quell the rebellious, deceitful, desperately wicked heart of man. Understanding the Kingdom Dispensation, when Israel dwells in the promised land and Christ sits on the Throne of David in Zion, is worthy of study.
