WHAT JESUS SAID IN THE BIBLE

GENESIS  CHAPTER  12 12:1 > The Fourth Dispensation: Promise. For Abraham and his descendants it is evident that the Abrahamic Covenant ( GENESIS  15:18 ) made a great change. They became distinctively the heirs of promise. That covenant is wholly gracious and unconditional. The descendants of Abraham had but to abide in their own land to inherit every blessing. In Egypt they lost their blessings, but not their covenant. The Dispensation of Promise ended when Israel rashly accepted the law ( EXODUS  19:8 ). 12:1 > Grace had prepared a deliverer ( Moses ), provided a sacrifice for the guilty, and by divine power brought them out of bondage ( EXODUS  19:4 ); but at Sinai they exchanged grace for law. The Dispensation of Promise extends from Genesis  12:1  to  Exodus  19:8;  and was exclusively Israelitish. The dispensation must be distinguished from the covenant. The former is a mode of testing; the latter is everlasting beca...

GENESIS  CHAPTER  11 11:1 > The history of Babel ( "confusion" ) strikingly parallels that of the professing Church. ( 1 ) Unity ( GENESIS  11:1 )__the Apostolic Church ( ACTS  4:32__33 );  ( 2 ) Ambition ( GENESIS  11:4 ), using worldly, not spiritual means ( GENESIS  11:3 ), ending in a man-made unity__the papacy; ( 3 ) the confusion to tongues ( GENESIS  11:7 )__Protestantism, with its innumerable sects. See  ISAIAH  13:1. 11:10 > Genesis 11 and 12 marks an important turning point in the divine dealing. Heretofore the history has been that of the whole Adamic race. There has been neither Jew nor Gentile; all have been one in "the first man Adam." Henceforth, in the Scripture record, humanity must be thought of as a vast stream from which God, in the call of Adam and creation of the nation of Israel, has but drawn off a slender rill, through which He may at last purify the great river itself. Israel, was called to be a witn...

GENESIS  CHAPTER  10 1. 10:2 > Progenitor of the ancient Cimerians and Cimbri, from whom are descended the Celtic family. 2. 10:2 > From Magog are descended the ancient Scythians, or Tartars, whose descendants predominate in the modern Russia. See EZEKIEL  38:2;  39:6;  Revelation  20:8 3. 10:2 > Progenitor of the ancient Medes. 4. 10:2 > Progenitor of those who peopled Greece, Syria. 5. 10:2 > Tubal's descendants peopled the region south of the Black Sea, from whence they spread north and south. It is probable that Tobolsk perpetuates the tribal name. A branch of this race peopled Spain. 6. 10:2 > Progenitor of a race mentioned in connection with Tubal, Magog, and other northern nations. Broadly speaking, Russian, excluding the conquests of Peter the Great and his successors, is the modern land of Magog, Tubal, and Meshech. 7. 10:2 > Progenitor of the Thracians. From these seven sons of Jepheth are decended the goyim, or Gen...
