Yes, the little word “NOW” is indeed a Biblestudy key. In the Epistles of Paul, in which we find the proclamation of GOD’S “GRACE” MANIFESTO, we find a number of very significant “NOWS,” “YET NOWS,” “BUT NOWS,” “THEREFORE NOWS.” Most of these “NOWS” follow “TIMES PAST,” “SOMETIME,” “HID FROM AGES AND GENERATIONS,” “AT THAT TIME,” “KEPT SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN.”
In II Corinthians 5:16 and 17 the PAST is separated from the FUTURE by
“NOW” . . . “NO MORE”. . . “HENCEFORTH.” . . . Then “OLD THINGS ARE PASSED
AWAY” . . . “behold ‘ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW’.” The believer became a “NEW
CREATION” in Christ: under a “NEW COMMISSION.” “God hath given unto us the
MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION: and hath COMMITTED unto us the WORD OF
RECONCILIATION.” (II Corinthians 5:17 to 19)
Not many years ago we had a change in this country from “the Republican Administration” (dispensation) to “the Democratic Administration.” The Democrats selected a messenger to head up their administration to offer to the citizens of this country “A New Deal.” Some people today would like to exchange that Democratic “NEW DEAL” for a Republican “NEW DEAL.” But there are very many Americans who still prefer the Democratic “NEW DEAL,” with perhaps a few revisions.
However, virtually all Americans are satisfied with the “NEW DEAL” we
got way back in 1776, when our forefathers were delivered from the domination
of a foreign king and kingdom.
In the study of GOD’S “GRACE” MANIFES
O, with our Bible key “NOW,” we shall learn when and why God selected a messenger to proclaim to all the people on this earth (Colossians 1:6 and 1:23) a “NEW DEAL.” Many people were against the “NEW DEAL,” “THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD” (Ephesians 3:1 to 3), when it was first proclaimed; and many more are against it at this time. It is almost unbelievable that millions, who are the beneficiaries of GOD’S “GRACE” MANIFESTO, are still against it. It is equally unbelievable that millions, who are enjoying the byproducts of Christianity in this country and other lands, are as ignorant of GOD’S “GRACE” MANIFESTO, after 1900 years, as though there was not a Bible on earth and not a line in that Bible concerning the most wonderful and glorious secret ever disclosed to this needy, ruined and condemned human race. It was a secret, “hid in God.” (Ephesians 3:9).
