Низ Библијата, we see the unity between God the Father, Зборот; Исус, и Светиот Дух. Сепак, despite their unity and continuous cooperation, we see a distinction between their roles in the Bible. We can divide the Bible into three dispensations. Кои се трите диспензии во Библијата? The three dispensations in the Bible are the dispensation of God the Father (Јехова), the dispensation of God the Son Jesus Christ (Зборот), and the dispensation of God the Holy Spirit.
Создавањето
The Bible begins in the Book of Genesis with the creation. Ел-Елохим (Бог (Јехова), Зборот; Исус и Светиот Дух) created the heaven and earth and all there is within. El-Elohim created man after Their own image and consisted of a spirit, душа, и телото. Овие three elements became one and were called: човек. Man was perfectly created and walked after the spirit.
Сепак, Бог му дал на човекот слободна волја. Therefore man could decide to obey the words of God or not obey the words of God.
When the devil; противникот Божји, came and tempted man, man became curious and began to doubt God’s words.
Man believed the words of the devil above the words of God and became непослушен на Бога. As a result of man’s disobedience to God, the spirit in man died and the flesh began to reign.
At that moment the perfect relationship between God and man was broken.
Man was no longer spiritual but carnal. This became visible in the natural realm because Adam and Eve became conscious of their body and noticed that they were naked.
When they disobeyed God, their spirit died and the devil, смртта, reigned in the flesh of the carnal man.
Сепак, God had a new plan to restore His relationship with man and the position of fallen man. There had to come нова креација; нов човек. Since the old creation; the old man was affected by evil and became corrupted.
God’s plan to restore (исцели) човек
God’s plan to restore (исцели) man and reconcile man back to Him, involved the coming of His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Jesus would deal with the sinful nature of man that ruled in the старо создание и смртта. The Holy Spirit would raise the spirit of man from the dead and would dwell in the new man.
Until the fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption, God had a temporary solution to deal with the sinful nature of fallen man, so that God could have a relationship with people. Through the offerings of animals, the blood of animals would temporarily atone the sins and iniquities of fallen man, so that God could have a relationship with the old man.
The first dispensation of God (Јехова)
The first of the three dispensations in the Bible is from Genesis to Malachi and is the dispensation of God the Father. We see the relationship between God (Јехова) and His carnal people; the House of Israel. We read about their relationship and all the works God did for His people.
God spoke to His people through the mouth of His prophets, to guide them. God gave them the Law, преку Мојсеј, who was His servant and representative. Преку Законот, God’s will became known to His people.
But God’s people weren’t always willing to listen to God and obey Him.
Despite God’s warnings, the people often went astray. They compromised with the pagan nations, because they wanted to be liked the Gentiles and live like the pagan nations.
Но секој пат, they went their own way and adopted the customs of the pagan nations, they got into trouble. That’s because God removed His hand from His people. (Прочитајте исто така: Што се случува кога еден народ ќе заборави на Бога?).
God’s people chose to become apostates from God. They decided to leave God and His Law and live like the Gentiles (светот).
The people of God were responsible for breaking the relationship and covenant, не Бог.
Низ Стариот Завет, we see ongoing periods of apostasy and periods of repentance and dedication to God.
One moment the king and God’s people served God and the next moment they disobeyed His law and became apostates, adopted the culture and customs of the Gentiles, and served strange gods. Until someone arose from the midst of God’s people, Прочитајте the Law of Moses, and exhorted the people to repent and dedicate themselves again to God.
As soon as the people repented, Бог се врати кај Својот народ, took care of them, and became their God again.
God’s greatness, righteous love, трпение, милост, and faithfulness
In this first dispensation of God, we see the righteous љубовта кон Бога, Неговата милост, трпение, and faithfulness to His people. We see God’s omnipotence and His wondrous works and miracles.
Throughout this dispensation of God, we see the unity and relation between God (Јехова), Зборот; Исус, и Светиот Дух.
God prophesied through the mouth of His prophets about the доаѓањето на Месијата: Jesus the Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
The second dispensation of Jesus Christ; Зборот
The second dispensation of the three dispensations in the Bible is from Matthew to Acts 1:9. In this second dispensation, Jesus Christus; the Word is the center.
We read about the coming of Jesus Christ, Синот Божји. Исус; the living Word became flesh and came to the earth as the Messiah, just as God prophesied through the mouths of His prophets.
In this second dispensation of the three dispensations in the Bible, we see the relationship between Jesus Christ and the carnal people of God (Израел). We see Jesus, живиот збор, in action. We read about all the signs, чуда, and wonders Jesus did in the power of the Holy Spirit, among God’s people.
Jesus represented God the Father and His Kingdom. He preached and brought the Kingdom of God to the people of Israel, who were the old carnal man.
И покрај фактот, that in the second dispensation Jesus is the center, we see the unity and relation between God the Father, Исус, и Светиот Дух.
Jesus came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel
Jesus the Messiah came in the first place for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not for the Gentiles (Метју 15:24). He even compared the woman, who was a Gentile, with a dog! But because of her great faith and perseverance, she got what she asked for (Метју 15:21-28).
Many times Christians say Jesus was a friend of tax collectors and prostitutes and ate with them.
They say this, to justify their friendships with unbelievers, кои припаѓаат на светот и живеат во темнина, and to justify the fact, дека живеат како светот.
Сепак, their statement is not quite right. Jesus indeed ate with tax collectors and prostitutes, Но…
Прво на сите, these people were not Gentiles but they belonged to the House of Israel. They were considered the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
They were considered sinners based on their works. Затоа, they were treated as the Gentiles and were locked out of the congregation of God (the temple).
Второ, when they heard the words of Jesus and were confronted with their sins, тие се покаја од нивниот лош пат, turned away from their wicked works, and turned to Jesus.
The Pharisees still considered the tax collectors and prostitutes as sinners, and because Jesus ate with them, they assumed that Jesus was a Friend of sinners and that Jesus approved and allowed their sins.
Сепак, the Pharisees didn’t know that the sinners of the House of Israel (Божјиот народ) се покаја. The Pharisees still considered them and treated them as sinners. But Jesus didn’t consider them as sinners anymore, because of their faith and repentance. (Прочитајте исто така: Дали Исус бил пријател на митарниците?).
Исус го помирил човекот назад со Бог
Jesus came to restore the relationship between God the Father and fallen man, which was broken in the Рајската градина. He was born in the flesh and became the Son of man. Jesus took all the sins and iniquities of fallen man upon Him and destroyed the nature of fallen man in His flesh. Through His redemptive work Jesus reconciled man back to God.
In this second dispensation, we see the coming of Jesus Christ, Неговото откупно дело, and the redemption of fallen man.
Jesus prophesied to His disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit. He announced the coming of another Comforter; Светиот Дух. Just like the Father announced the coming of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. (на. Битие 3:15, Исаија 7:14; 9; 40:10-11; 53:4-12, Еремија 31:33-34, Езекиел 11:19-20; 36:26-28).
The third dispensation of the Holy Spirit
The third and final dispensation of the three dispensations in the Bible begins in Acts 2 and is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. We see the coming of the Holy Spirit and the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the new creation. The new creations are the church; телото на Исус Христос.
In this third dispensation of the Holy Spirit, we also see the unity and relationship between God the Father, Исус; Зборот, и Светиот Дух.
The Holy Spirit represents the Father and Jesus Christ; the Word in the new creation.
Светиот Дух сведочи за Исус Христос. Just like Jesus testified about His Father. They are inseparable, just like the new man consists of a spirit, душа, и телото
In this dispensation, we see the works of the Holy Spirit.
We read about the signs, чуда, и чуда, He did through the new man. Исто како Исус, Кој беше Првороден на новото создание.
Без Светиот Дух, the new man can’t do anything. The new man is totally dependent on the Holy Spirit, исто како Исус.
How salvation came to the Gentiles
The promise and coming of the Comforter; the Holy Spirit was in the first case meant for God’s people (Израел). But by the grace of God, salvation and the promise and inheritance, also came unto the Gentiles (на. Римјаните 11:11).
Сите, who believed in Jesus Christ and was willing to lay down his sinful nature and turn away from his sin and serve God, had the ability to become born again in the spirit, и да стане нова креација; син Божји (ова важи и за машките и за женските) and part of the body of Christ.
Сите, кој е повторно роден во Христа and grafted on Jesus Christ, belongs to the true people of God and possesses the Holy Spirit.
This third and final dispensation of the Holy Spirit is still in force and will last until the end of time.
