The Door of Grace will soon be closed. When the Door of Grace is shut, salvation will no longer be by means of Grace through faith plus nothing (Eph. 2:8)! Salvation will no longer be a “gift of God: not of works.” The unmerited favor of God will be withdrawn as the grounds upon which He will save, “according to His mercy” (Titus 3: 5). Man will no longer be “justified by His grace” (Titus 3:7).

The last recorded event of divine history, with the exception of Paul writing his last seven epistles, is the record found in Acts 28:25-28 of the Apostle Paul pronouncing Israel’s blindness. Since that time, there has been no fulfillment of prophecy. Prophetically, it is as if time has stood still. The chief characteristic of this present interval could be summed up in the phrase—The Silence of God. During this present interval, He has not spoken, nor has He inspired any writings. He is not actively engaged in the affairs of mankind. He does not mete out punishment upon the wicked, nor does He reward the righteous. However, He is active in administering a magnificent attribute of His, which is─GRACE! The time is running-out on the “Clock-of-Grace.”

“And He said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the  ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”
Mark 4:26-29

For those “who have ears to hear” (Mark 4:23), this parable sheds an enormous amount of light on how God’s Kingdom, to wit, His Government, will begin and how it will progress and, finally, come to its fruition.

An important key to unlocking the Treasure Chest of Dispensational Truth is to be found in the proper understanding of a crucial text found in Matthew 24:3. The key lies in comprehending what is the meaning of three words which are: (1) coming, (2) end, and (3) world. Consider the verse in question.

“And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’” (Matt. 24:3).

We firmly believe that the central theme of the Bible is the “Kingdom of God.” Likewise, it is firmly believed that the central personality of the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments, is the Lord Jesus Christ. The name by which the Hebrews knew Him in the Old Testament was Yahweh (translated “LORD” in the KJV) spelled with all capital letters, even though the “O-R-D” are in smaller caps than that of the “L.”
