From “the world at that time” (2 Peter 3:6) and “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) until “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1) God has laid down his salvation plan in His word. The Bible displays us the panorama of events that are behind us as well as before us. A good insight in the dispensations and the position, history and future of the people of Israel as well as of the Church, is essential to sound Bible Study.
This booklet is an adequate aid to illustrate
the central themes of God’s salvation plan quickly and clearly. It can
serve as a basis for comparing Scripture with Scripture and for “rightly
dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
