What the dispensation of the mystery might be is still a mystery to many good folks. The following short explanation is not to teach what it is, for that would be useless. We cannot teach that which must come by revelation. In Matt. 13 the Lord was giving out the mysteries of the kingdom. It was for His disciples to know these things. To others in parables, for it was not for them to know. The dispensation of the mystery has to do with a chosen people. They were chosen for this particular place in Christ before the overthrow. These people are known as nations or Gentiles. The reason for this appellation is that there is no difference in flesh in any respect in this dispensation.
