In this book, the author speaks about meaning he has found in the scripture, starting with Melchisedec, the king/priest that Abraham met on his way back from the war, five kings against four and what this may mean to your ministry and everyday life. Thousands have found that the Bible contains more than just what is printed on its pages. You may find that this book contains more than what is printed on its pages. Prepare yourself for a spiritual adventure that will leave you hungering and thirsting for more of the marvels of God. This is not a testimony or a book of doctrines, but a journey into the Word of God and unraveling its hidden mysteries. This is not a quick, “how-to book” but a different, living way of viewing the Bible and finding experiences within it. Just as in life and relationships, it is easy to miss the details of the Bible that lead the way to salvation. Sometimes, it’s all in the details. In this book, the author takes you down the path of distribution of the blessing of eternal life from the king’s dale through Ornan’s floor and Hermon’s dew through Jesus’ last supper and diversity of ministries, thus “A Dispensation of Grace.” Sit back and take a guided tour through its references in scripture.

A fervent millennial hope has often existed at the heart of Protestant evangelicalism. Varieties of eschatology have exercised a profound impact on the movementÕs theology and history. Although millennialism had a respected lineage within conservative Protestantism, it flourished with enormous energy in the early nineteenth century as evangelicals responded to the threat of the American and European revolutions and the cultural pessimism of the Romantic movement. By mid-century, the millennialism that had first been articulated for the defense of Protestant conservatism had paved the way for the subversion of historic theology and church practice, as a growing confidence in biblical inerrancy and the ÒliteralÓ hermeneutic challenged many of the historical assumptions of the evangelical faith. This volume of essays expands on neglected aspects of the impact of the evangelical millennialism in Britain and Ireland between 1800 and 1880, and includes an essay charting recent trends in the study of millennialism.
