"A dispensation of the gospel is a period of time in which the Lord has at least one authorized servant on the earth who bears the holy priesthood and the keys, and who has a divine commission to dispense the gospel to the inhabitants of the earth" (Bible Dictionary, "Dispensations"). Each time, after a period of falling away, the gospel is revealed anew, so that people of that dispensation have accurate and unadulterated information upon which to build their faith. As a memory aid for the chronology of the seven major gospel dispensations, here is a little story with awesome artwork by myself :) Feel free to copy or print it.
Sister Jensen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this helpful post! When I saw that you live in Cache Valley I just had to leave a comment. I am from Cache Valley, now stationed in Alabama with the Air Force. This morning I was studying Jacob 5 and was trying to remember the 7 different dispensations--I googled 'seven dispensations lds' and this post was a top result. It was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thanks for this great handout, Sister Jensen. I converted your image to eps and added a definition of the word dispensation so that I could use this in my Seminary class tomorrow. Thank you!
