Jesus and Dispensation in the Gospels

This book deals with providing biblical evidence mainly in the gospel of Matthew that our Lord Jesus was, and still is, dispensational. Many has undertaken to write on what dispensation is and demonstrate how dispensation is seen in the bible. This book attempts to focus only on what our Lord Jesus said mainly in the gospel of Matthew – to show how He is dispensational. Inevitably, Eschatology, Ecclesiology, Israelology and hermeneutics play an inherent role when dispensation is being discussed. Without them, it is difficult to see the merits of what our Lord Jesus said in context, esp. in the gospel of Matthew. The primary purpose of this book is to demonstrate how our Lord Jesus Himself is dispensational (mainly in the gospel of Matthew) pre-cross (i.e., before He died on the cross on Golgotha). It is also an aid to bible-readers who in time-past has found scriptures to be conflicting. Scriptures always validate scriptures. They are never in conflict. Because of the enormous implications in the content of what our Lord Jesus said in Matthew’s gospel, the only way to complete writing this book is to be selective. As such, Pauline epistles from the books of Romans to Philemon, and the rest of the bible, are only quoted when necessary. It is expected that the reader already has a reasonable understanding of what dispensation is before reading this book, because it is not the expressed intention of this book to introduce to readers what dispensation is, or to capture dispensationalism from Genesis to Revelation. On the flip-side of the same coin, this book is also meant for laity, who in time-past, has found verses in the bible to be conflicting, since perhaps, they happened to be in churches whose preachers or pastors do not rightly divide the word to preach or teach.
