Verses in the Bible outlined to understand The Mysteries, Rightly Dividing and Dispensation.
The verses from the Bible below are verses often used out of context and are just unknown by Christians that help in rightly dividing the word and in the discussions of dispensation. The first one shows that God had Secrets or Mysteries that God revealed in his timing. Deuteronomy 29:29. Some of these in the Old Testament were in the form of covenants. and in Paul’s were refer to as dispensations.
