The Secret of the Lord Part 7 – The Dispensation of the Fullness of Times

In this final installment of The Secret of the Lord series, Scott Mitchell explains how God’s plan becomes clear only when Scripture is rightly divided. Confusion enters the Church when the gospel of the kingdom is blended with the gospel of the grace of God, leading believers into the instability Paul warned about. This lesson highlights the distinction between Israel’s earthly kingdom and the heavenly hope of the Body of Christ, showing how both programs culminate in the dispensation of the fullness of times, when God gathers all things in Christ.

Scott teaches that the secret of the Lord is revealed to those who fear Him, walk in covenant through Jesus Christ, and are faithful stewards of His mysteries. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, the believer can see God’s unfolding purpose for Israel, the church, and the ages to come.

Key Scriptures (KJV) Psalm 25:14; John 10:14–16; Matthew 15:24; Matthew 25:31–34; Matthew 16:15–18; Acts 20:28–31; Ephesians 4:4–6; Ephesians 3:3–6; Colossians 1:16–18; Ephesians 2:14–18; Ephesians 1:9–11; Ephesians 2:19–22; Galatians 4:26–28; Revelation 21:1–4; Revelation 21:9–11; 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 Main Themes Rightly Dividing the Word

• Blending the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of grace leads to misunderstanding and deception.
• Paul warned of false teachers and spiritual instability arising from failing to divide Scripture accurately.
• The Greek connection between steward (oikonomos) and dispensation (oikonomia) underscores the believer’s responsibility to handle God’s Word faithfully.

The Two Folds of John 10

• Jesus identified two folds of His sheep: Israel and the “other sheep” who would also hear His voice.
• Paul reveals the mystery that Gentiles are fellow heirs and part of the same Body.
• One church exists, yet with distinct inheritances for Jews and Gentiles.

Israel’s Kingdom vs. the Church’s Hope

• Israel’s promised kingdom awaits fulfillment when Christ returns to judge the nations and sit upon His throne.
• The Body of Christ does not look for an earthly kingdom but for the blessed hope—the catching away of the church.
• These programs remain distinct but move toward one ultimate purpose.

The Dispensation of the Fullness of Times

• God will gather all things in heaven and earth into one in Christ (Ephesians 1:9–11).
• Revelation 21 reveals the new heaven, new earth, and New Jerusalem—the eternal dwelling of God with His people.
• The unity of God’s people in eternity does not erase their prophetic distinctions but displays the perfection of His plan.

Faithful Stewardship

• Believers today are stewards of God’s mysteries and must guard the doctrine committed to them.
• Understanding dispensational truth dissolves confusion and strengthens spiritual stability.
• The current dispensation of grace is nearing its conclusion, emphasizing the urgency of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Takeaway   God’s plan for Israel and the Church becomes clear when Scripture is handled with reverence and precision. The Secret of the Lord is seen in the distinctions He established and in the unity He will bring when all things are gathered in Christ in the dispensation of the fullness of times. This lesson calls every listener to remain faithful, grounded, and ready for the Lord’s return.
