Therefore the Lord God
The Second Dispensation: Conscience. By disobedience man came to a personal and experimental knowledge of good and evil -- of good as obedience, of evil as disobedience to the known will of God. Through that knowledge conscience awoke. Expelled from Eden and placed under the second, or ADAMIC COVENANT, man was responsible to do all known good, to abstain from all known evil, and to approach God through sacrifice. The result of this second testing of man is stated in (Gen 6:5) and the dispensation ended in the judgment of the Flood. Apparently "the east of the garden" (Gen 3:24) where were the cherubims and the flame, remained the place of worship through this second dispensation. See for the other six dispensations:
INNOCENCE
(See Scofield) - (Gen 1:28)
HUMAN GOVERNMENT
(See Scofield) - (Gen 8:21)
PROMISE
(See Scofield) - (Gen 12:1)
LAW
(See Scofield) - (Exo 19:8)
GRACE
(See Scofield) - (Joh 1:17)
KINGDOM
(See Scofield) - (Eph 1:10). |

10 That in [1519] the dispensation [3622] of the fulness [4138] of times [2540] he might gather together in one [346] all things [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547], both [5037] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] which [3588] are on [1909] earth [1093]; even in [1722] him [846]:
17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
8 And all the people [05971] answered [06030] together [03162], and said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] we will do [06213]. And Moses [04872] returned [07725] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068].
1 Now the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Abram [087], Get thee out [03212] of thy country [0776], and from thy kindred [04138], and from thy father's [01] house [01004], unto a land [0776] that I will shew [07200] thee:
21 And the LORD [03068] smelled [07306] a sweet [05207] savour [07381]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] in [0413] his heart [03820], I will not again [03254] curse [07043] the ground [0127] any more for man's [0120] sake [05668]; for the imagination [03336] of man's [0120] heart [03820] is evil [07451] from his youth [05271]; neither will I again [03254] smite [05221] any more every thing living [02416], as I have done [06213].
28 And God [0430] blessed [01288] them, and God [0430] said [0559] unto them, Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and replenish [04390] the earth [0776], and subdue it [03533]: and have dominion [07287] over the fish [01710] of the sea [03220], and over the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and over every living thing [02416] that moveth [07430] upon the earth [0776].
24 So he drove out [01644] the man [0120]; and he placed [07931] at the east [06924] of the garden [01588] of Eden [05731] Cherubims [03742], and a flaming [03858] sword [02719] which turned every way [02015], to keep [08104] the way [01870] of the tree [06086] of life [02416].
5 And GOD [03068] saw [07200] that the wickedness [07451] of man [0120] was great [07227] in the earth [0776], and that every imagination [03336] of the thoughts [04284] of his heart [03820] was only [07535] evil [07451] continually [03117].
