📖 The Dispensation of Human Government: Man’s Failed Rule | Dispensationalism 101
Taught by Dr. Robert Potthoff as part of Dispensationalism 101 at the King James Bible Institute, this lesson explores the Dispensation of Human Government (Genesis 9–11). After the flood, God gave Noah and his descendants authority to govern the earth—but man, once again, failed. Instead of submitting to God’s commands, they united in rebellion at Babel, leading to divine judgment.
🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Lesson:
✅ God’s New Commands to Noah – Repopulate, rule, and establish justice.
✅ The First Law of Human Government – Capital punishment for murder.
✅ The Tower of Babel – Mankind’s attempt at a one-world government.
✅ The Rise of Nimrod – The first dictator, setting the stage for future rebellion.
✅ God’s Judgment – The confusion of languages, forcing mankind to scatter.
🚨 Key Takeaway: No system of human government can restrain sin. Man, apart from God, always chooses rebellion. This dispensation ended in failure—just like those before it—proving that man cannot rule himself without divine guidance.
