It followers that the third dispensation is distinctively that of human government. Manis responsible to govern the world for God. That responsibility rested upon the whole race, Jew and Gentile, until the failure of Israel under the Palestinian Covenant ( DEUTERONOMY  28__30:1__10 ) brought the judgment of the Captivities, when "the times of the Gentiles" ( See  LUKE  21:24;  REVELATION  16:14 ) began, and the government of the world passed exclu
