There are 7 dispensations:
1. Garden of eden (Genesis 1:1-3:7)
2. The fall of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:7-24) to the giving of the law of Moses (Exodus 20)
3. The law of Moses and the prophets until John the Baptist (Matthew 11:13, Luke 16:16)
4. The gospel of the kingdom (preached between John the Baptist and the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ). The gospel of the kingdom is preached to the Jews because the king (Jesus Christ) is on earth at the time. There are two kingdoms, the kingdom of heaven, the physical earthly kingdom (Matthew 11:12), and the kingdom of God which is a spiritual kingdom with God (Romans 14:17, Luke 17:20-21).
5. The time of the Gentiles (death burial, and resurrection of Jesus until the rapture) (1 Corinthians 15:51-58, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, Romans 2:16, Romans 16:25-26, 2 Timothy 2:8, Ephesians 3:1-7).
6. The rapture (1 Corinthians 15:51-58 & 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) until the second coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:29-41, Revelation 19:11-21).
7. 1000 year reign of Christ (Revelation 20:4-6).
