Which Administration?
The Original Paradise Administration - When Adam and his wife lived in paradise in the garden of Eden without sin in perfect fellowship with God.
The Patriarchal Administration - After the fall of Adam and Eve, and before the written word (the law) was given to Moses, the Word of God and the promise of a redeemer to come was passed from father to son.
The Law Administration - The written Word of God was delivered as law to the children of Israel. The law, the prophets, and the rest of the writings of the old testament define this administration and record the record of the bloodline and hope for the coming Christ.
The Christ Administration - The four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John describe the life and times of the Lord Jesus Christ on earth. While the gospels also contain information regarding future administrations they complete the old testament as Jesus Christ fulfills the law and brings about the redemption of mankind.
The Grace Administration or the Administration of the Mystery - The present administration where believers have regained all that Adam lost plus much more by the work of Jesus Christ. The seven church epistles: Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians specifically outline doctrine (right teaching), reproof for wrong practice and correction for wrong doctrine for this current administration.
The Appearing Administration - When Jesus Christ returns to gather the church and bring all into subjection to God.
The Final Paradise Administration - When once again man lives in perfect fellowship with God in paradise.
