Dispensational or Covenant Theology?

Evening it's good to be with you got a very

good question to tackle today what does the word say

about dispensational theology or covenant theology which one is it

this is probably the most important question anyone that can

ask themselves if they've been born again and they are

stuck in the church system. So, God bless everybody. Matthew

Miller here from Maranatha Ministries. Thank you for joining me

for my live stream. A very important question here. What

does the Word say? Now remember, at Maranatha Ministries, we're

not going to give you opinions. I'm going to tell

you what the Word says. This is the only reason

why your fellow congregants that have not been born again,

are going to make martyrs out of you come the

great apostasy. And that's really what Maranatha Ministries is all about.

We are preparing those who have been baptized in the

Holy Spirit for the great apostasy because it is coming.

So take note. Are there dispensations in the Bible? Is

that how God deals with his people? No. That's a

theological myth. Dispensationalism was invented in the 1830s. This is

a historical fact. That's why it's not in the Bible.

It's not in the Word. It's not there. So, if

you're locked into the church system, your clergy, if you're

not a part of a dispensational congregation, you will inevitably

be on the other side of the aisle. Because basically

there's only two types of false eschatology that is driven today.

It is either dispensationalism, and the other side of the

aisle is preterism. Both are theological myths. They're myths. They

have no basis in the Word. So that's really what

we're talking about today. What does the Word say? So, yes,

covenant theology is what the Word says But in the

singular sense, just the singular sense, Jesus Christ told you

there's only one covenant. There was the covenant made at

Sinai through the giving of the Ten Commandments. And there

is the covenant of His blood. That's it. We'll cover

those verses here in just a moment. So, I am

not at all saying, Those who are not dispensationalists, that

is to say Orthodox, Catholics, any of those, oh, I'm

not saying they're correct at all because, well, they lie.

What they say is that there are three different dispensations.

That's what they say. They say there was a dispensation

of works. There was a dispensation of grace. and a

dispensation of redemption. No, that's not what God says. In

the Word, God says there's only one covenant at a time.

The Mosaic covenant was terminated at Calvary. It was terminated

at the cross. So, herein, we can just get this

from Hebrews... chapter 8, verse 7. For if that first

covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been

sought for a second. That's it. One-two covenant. The Mosaic

covenant and Christ's covenant. That's it. So, Why these elaborate systems?

They're designed to confuse you. They are designed to keep

chasing your tail if you're going to partake of the Word.

Because you will continually, when you're reading the Word, when

you're listening to the Word on audio, you will continually

listen for this, well, where's this covenant of works? And

I mean, I understand the covenant of grace, but where's

the covenant of redemption? It'll keep you chasing your towel.

So both are wrong. It's not covenants. It's covenant one.

That's what the word says. So when you know that,

I mean, I could just literally give you verses after

verses after verses after verses after verses. Well, let's just

do this. Let's just read those three verses. Hebrews 8,

Hebrews 8:7

verses 7, 8, 9. Let's just read them consecutively. You

can't be confused when you do this. The Word is clear.

It doesn't confuse you. God didn't write the Word to

confuse you. He gave you the Bible to tell you

how it is. That's why your clergy, whether they're dispensationalists,

Or the other side of the aisle, they preach covenants, plural, no, covenant.

This will categorically explain it to you. So Hebrews chapter 8,

Hebrews 8:7–9

verses 7 through 9. For if that first covenant had

been faultless, then there would be no place have been

sought for the second. Because finding fault with them, God says, behold,

the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will

make a new covenant with the house of Israel, And

with the house of Judah. This is coming from Jeremiah.

We'll talk about that in a minute. Let me finish

the diatribe. Verse 9. Not according to the covenant. Singular.

Here we go again. It's only singular. There exists only

one covenant at a time. Okay. That I made with

their fathers in the day that I took them by

the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt.

Because they did not continue in my covenant. And I

disregarded them, says the Lord. One covenant. Just one. Only

one covenant exists at a time. Now, it is paramount

that we see this, what this is actually talking about.

This is coming from, of course, Jeremiah chapter 31. This

Jeremiah 31 · chapter mention

details for you the new covenant that is going to

come through the Lord Jesus Christ, which is pretty easy

to remember. It's Jeremiah 31, 31. I quote, Behold, the

days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make

a new covenant with the house of Israel and with

the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that

I made with their fathers in the day that I

took them by the hand to lead them out of

the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though

I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But

this is the covenant I will make with them, with

the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord.

I will put my law into their minds, and write

it on their hearts, and I will be their God,

and they will be, and they shall be my people.

When is this happening? It happens once you've been born again.

Once you've been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Let's keep reading.

Verse 34. No more shall every man teach his neighbor.

And every man his brother. Saying know the Lord. For

they all shall know me. From the least of them

to the greatest of them. Says the Lord. For I

will forgive their iniquity. And their sin I will remember.

No more. So. Let's talk about how you get into

the New Covenant. This is straight from the Word Himself. Remember,

God the Son's alternate name is the Word of God. So,

everybody knows this and it amazes me how they take

the word communion and Even changed the name for communion.

It just blows my mind. But anyway, here in Matthew

Matthew 26:26–29

chapter 26, verses 26 through 29. Now, before we read this,

know and understand this. This is why the dispensationalists come

up with this cunningly devised faith. Because they want the

Judaist to be automatically saved. They want the Judaist that

funds them to be able to do an in-round around

the crucifixion of Jesus Christ the Lord. This is straight

from Jesus Christ's mouth. And as they were eating, Jesus

took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to

his disciples and said, take, eat, this is my body.

Then he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it

to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you, for

this is the blood of the new covenant. In Greek,

this is exacting. It's singular. It's not plural. There's no

such thing as covenants. There was an old covenant, and

he just trumped it and instituted a new covenant through

his blood. So, for this is my blood of the

new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission

of sins. There is no end run around the blood

of Christ. Verse 29, But I say to you, I

will not drink of the fruit of the vine from

now on until the day when I drink it anew

with you in my Father's kingdom. Forever and always, amen.

The dispensationalists want the Judaists to actually live and reject

the blood of the covenant until Christ returns, and then

they say they will all automatically be saved. That's heresy.

There is no end run around the blood of Jesus Christ.

The book of Zechariah proves this, because the word plainly

says that all the nations will mourn when they see him.

That's what Zechariah says. Even if you're of the lineage

of David, if you've not accepted the blood of Jesus

Christ's covenant, you're going to mourn with the rest of

the world. That's exactly what it says. Look it up.

It says even the seed of David himself will mourn

when they see the Lord Jesus Christ coming. Because at

that point, it's too late. Once he exits heaven in

his divine procession to set up his kingdom on earth,

It's too late. Once you see him, it's too late.

You had that chance. Zechariah plainly states that all of

the physical seed of Abraham will mourn when they see

him come. Now, what is so important about this new covenant?

We all know there's two ways to be baptized. The

first is with water. That doesn't cut it. You must

be born again. So take note. When you enter the

body of Christ. Symbolically here. This is like taking the bread.

That's not enough. In the bread. Is not the life

of the covenant. He plainly said. Now. Take from the cup.

Drink from it all of you. For this is the blood.

This is my blood. Of the new covenant. So. Once

you've entered into the body of Christ. Through. Through the covenant.

There comes a time. That you have to. Stop sinning voluntarily.

You have to do that. But you need to know.

The book of Hebrews. Chapter 10 verses 26 through 29.

Hebrews 10:26–29

Illicitly says. that there's a grace period right there. If

you get water baptized, and you keep on willfully sinning,

and you don't correct your course, no matter how long

that struggle may take, now take note. This is common knowledge.

Any sin, any addiction can be overcome. Ask any ex-heroin addict.

There's millions of them. Ask any ex-alcoholic. There's millions of them.

And on and on and on and on and on

and on it goes. Any physical and psychological addiction can

be broken through the power of the Holy Spirit. If

you willfully continue sinning after a period of time, you

no longer can be baptized in the Holy Spirit because

you have insulted the Holy Spirit. Let's read from the Word.

Doesn't matter what your clergy says, this is true. Hebrews

Hebrews 10:26–29

chapter 10, verses 26 through 29. For if we sin

willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,

there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin. But a

certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation which will

devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies

without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will be

thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot,

counted the blood of the covenant by which they were sanctified,

a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? Take

note here, he made references to both covenants. He made

reference to both covenants. The first covenant, the covenant of

the Mosaic law, you died on the testimony of two

or three witnesses. That was the first covenant. That first

covenant was replaced by the second covenant. And he says,

after you've entered the body of Christ through that water baptism,

this is how you get the knowledge of Knowledge comes

from the water baptism. You've entered into a church body.

If you continue to sin willfully after a period of time,

you would have insulted the spirit of grace. And at

that point, those of you that's been born again, it's

these jokers that's going to instigate the great apostasy. And

they'll make martyrs of you. And you all need to

know that. Those of you who do fall into this category.

You did receive the knowledge of truth. You rejected it.

And insulted the spirit of grace. After however long it took.

You're going to make martyrs of us. That's what's going

to happen. Thus saith the word. Thus saith the word.

Thus saith the word. So. There aren't covenants. There's only

one at any one given time. That is plainly laid

out in the Word. Everything else coming out of your

pulpit is just theological myths intended to keep you confused

whenever you partake of the Word, whether when you read

it or when you listen to it. It's meant to

confuse you. That's what your clergy has done. So, it

doesn't matter if you're dispensationalist or preterist. You're caught in

this ever unending circle of what you're being taught not

lining up with the Word. And remember, Revelation chapter 6,

Revelation 6:9

verse 9. When the great apostasy comes, they'll make a

martyr out of you for just one reason. The Catholics

won't be killing the Baptists. No, no, no. The Catholics...

will be killing the Catholics that are born again. The

Baptists will be killing the other Baptists that have been

born again. Because we will call them out. Revelation chapter 22,

Revelation 22:18

verses 18 and 19 are very clear. We will call

them out for straying from the Word. So, dispensational theology? No.

Covenant theology? Absolutely not. There's not three covenants. There's one covenant,

and it was replaced by the new covenant of his blood.

That's what the word says. I categorically read to you

those verses. You see, what's confusing you is your clergy.

What's confusing you is your denomination. It's not the word.

I strongly implore you to get yourself a New King

James Version. There's a reason why I'm saying that. I'm

qualified to say that. Get yourself a New King James Version.

Read that and study the word. The word is in

Hebrew and Greek. You can do this with plethora of

online resources like logos like blue letter Bible like a bohu.cz

tons tons of researches the Bible hub that's another one

I've used in past times you need to be able

to get to the Word. The Word is in Hebrew

and Greek. And when you do that, when you hearken

to the Word, all these theological myths, the Word trumps. So,

I'm here to tell you If you're confused, it's because

you're listening to something other than the Word of God. So,

with that being said, if you have been born again,

if you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit and

have not insulted the Spirit of Grace, if you have

any encouraging words or prayers, please put them in the comments.
