God's Plan for the Ages - Dispensations (2014)

Have you ever wished you could be a time traveler into the future? There's a time coming that no one would choose because its horrors almost defy description. Listen to this lesson to learn about a time that was prophesied in the Old Testament when horrendous, indescribable events take place that are beyond anything the world has ever known. See several titles for this seven-year time period including the Day of the Lord and Jacob's trouble. Learn how God pours out His wrath upon the human race and rejoice that all believers of the Church Age will already have been snatched up at the Rapture before this time begins. Choose the present moment to accept Christ's work on the Cross for your salvation so you, too, can escape this violent, deadly dark time.

Do all Christians go up at the Rapture or is it only for those who are living good lives? Listen to this lesson to understand what the Bible teaches about this important event that ends the Church Age. Review the main beliefs of when the Rapture will occur. Listen to several compelling reasons for believing that the Rapture will happen before the Tribulation. Accept the challenge of growing spiritually during the remaining days of this phase of God's plan for the ages.

"I'll fly away, O glory. I'll fly away." If you've ever longed to be part of the Rapture generation, listen to this lesson to learn how Christians will take an out-of-this world trip and be caught up in the air to meet the Lord. Learn the details of what happens and the reasons we believe this momentous event occurs before the Tribulation. Find out about three sounds that will be heard. See how our deceased loved ones who were believers receive their resurrection bodies and in a twinkling of an eye we join with them. Gain a panoramic view of what happens after this momentous event and an understanding that this knowledge gives us comfort when we face grief and injustice.

Since Christians today no longer sacrifice animals at the temple or follow Old Testament rituals, how do they grow to spiritual maturity? Listen to this lesson to learn the five distinct roles of the Holy Spirit in every believer's life. See that it is only during the Church Age that every believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and understand the unique characteristics of how we are to live our lives. See that spirituality and carnality are mutually exclusive and let us not squander or waste these tremendous assets God has given us.

Who doesn't love a good mystery but what does it mean when the Apostle Paul calls the Church Age a mystery? Listen to this lesson to learn that he isn't referring to a "whodunit" type mystery. Instead, the mystery was that for thousands of years no one knew about the Dispensation of Grace which would follow Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Get a clear understanding that there was a distinct break with the Age of Israel when the Church Age began, including a new unity of Jews and Gentiles, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in every believer, and the emphasis on being a testimony in the Angelic Conflict.
