A Closer Look - HUMAN GOVERNMENT (Post 3 of 7) 6/30/2008

Post by Mike_White »

1.) Innocence
2.) Conscience
3.) Human Government
4a.) Promise (Before the Nation of Israel was formed)
4b.) Law ( After the Nation of Israel was formed)
5.) Grace
6.) Tribulation
7a.) Millennial Reign
7b.) Eternal State (Reign of Christ continues into eternity with New heaven and New Earth)

Next lets talk about the age of Human Government. After the failure of Innocence and Conscience God now tests man under Human Government established by God to show man his need of a savoir once again in Jesus Christ. It's interesting to note that Human government being established by God in and of itself is not evil it's sinful man which corrupts it. Also its good to note that every person that makes it to public office does not make it there without the appointment of God!!!Romans 13:1 Under the Dispensation of Conscience Cain's failure resulted in a mark being put on his forehead and the end result was that the earth became filled with Violence Genesis 6:11. Now God under Human Government allows for Capitol Punishment.Genesis 9:6 Keep in mind that this is before Abraham has been called and before the giving of the Law at Sinai. So this is before the existence of the nation of Israel applying to all of Noahs ancestors which would be the whole world.

3.) Human Government

- Opening Event - Genesis 8:20-9:6- After mans failure under the Dispensation of Conscience resulting in the flood, God makes a covenant with Noah giving him th freedom to eat any beast on the earth but he must not eat any animal with the blood still in it. The result also is that the fear and dread of man falls on the beasts.

- Duration - Unknown

- Man’s Failure - Genesis 11:6 - Human Government fails. The whole world speaking one language at the time in rebellion to Gods command to Noah to be fruitful and increase and fill the earth after the flood Genesis 9:1 now comes together in one place and builds a tower to heaven. They use Tar and brick instead of Stone and mortar Genesis 11:3 (probably to make it water proof to thwart God sending another flood ignoring the promise of his rainbow Genesis 9:13. ) Instead of filling the earth and spreading out man now comes together in defiance of God and even attempts to build a structure to withstand Gods judgment. The key phrase in this dispensation is "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this (NIV) Then no evil will be kept from them (KJV)"

- Trend of the Dispensation - Genesis9:20-24, Genesis 11:4 - Away from God rather than seeking restoration and fellowship with God they disobey and seek to make a name for themselves.

- Mans Individual Responsibility - Genesis 8:20-22, Genesis 9;1,7,9 - believe and obey (the same in every dispensation)

- Closing Event -Genesis 11:9 - The language is confused and the tower builders are scattered.
