The Doctrine of Dispensations

It is nearly impossible to interpret the Bible in it's normal, literal sense without realizing that there are different ages/dispensations. The Doctrine of Dispensations is important because it recognizes the different ways in which God dealt with people since the beginning of time. One key aspect of "Dispensational" theology is the distinction between Israel and the Church. For example, since believers in Jesus Christ fall under the "Church" they no longer have to make animal sacrifices (sin offering) to make atonement for their sins. Church age believers must confess their sins (1 John 1:9) in order to receive forgiveness. There is a future for Israel, which will come at the millennial kingdom, which Christ will establish after the 7 year tribulation period is finished. All in all, the doctrine of dispensations refers to the dividing of ages since from the beginning of time to the eternal state in the future.
