Is Pentecost the time that all dispensations change? I have been wondering about that, and then I found this old fivedoves letter from 2007, doing an internet search:
"Every major change of dispensations happened on Pentecost...
...God's covenant to Noah...Law given to Moses...Church born...Ruth (Gentile bride) laid at feet of Boaz and asked him to marry her!"
Here is another website that backs up this idea:
"Biblical history attests to the fact that dispensation number 3 (human government) changed on Shavuot which is found in Genesis chapter 8. It seems as if dispensation number 5 changed on Pentecost (Law) which is found in Exodus chapter 19. Dispensation number 6 (age of grace) changed on Pentecost which is found in Acts chapter 2. Although the dispensation of Promise (Towel of Babel) does not give a date, Genesis 11:7 says, "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." We know the age of grace started with Pentecost. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:4. Here we see that the dispensation of Promise had one thing in common with the dispensation of Grace.That would be unknown tongues speaking at the same time.I think it is pretty clear that Promise ( Tower of Babel ) also changed on Pentecost. We seea pattern of dispensational changes taking place on Pentecost. It is possible that the first two dispensations (Innocence and Conscience) changed in a 24 hour time frame on Shavuot (Pentecost) but proving this is another thing. I tend to believe that all 6 dispensations in the past changed on Shavuot (Pentecost). The dispensation that we are living in now ends with the rapture of the Church. This age of grace might change in the Pentecost area. History tends to repeat itself." . . .
Also, in this same article "Twenty little known facts about Pentecost", an interesting read.Here's a chart called "Ages and Dispensations" that shows how the ages and dispensations are divided up. It is by Clarence Larkin from a book called "Dispensational Truth" which has been used for the last 90 years in seminaries:
I posted the above as a thread at RITA a couple days ago and the members there have some interesting comments:
