THE NAMES OF GOD

NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN
the time of the Father, the New Testament the time of the Son, there must be a coming third status or
era of history that is ascribed to and special to the Holy Spirit, who gives the deep understanding of
the meaning of both Old and New Testaments.
"In this chart, Joachim illustrates his theory of the three overlapping eras of history.
The first era, the time of the Father, was the age of the Old Testament.
The second is the time of Christ, in which Joachim believed he was living.
The third and final era would be the age of the Spirit, a monastic era of contemplation, which would
come after the crisis precipitated by the reign of the Antichrist. There would come a new era of the
Church on earth, the contemplative utopia of the Holy Spirit, a monastic era of contemplation.
That's the heart of Joachim's great vision and contribution to western apocalypticism."

"For us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there
is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." (1
Corinthians 8:6).
“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the
Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with
ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is
the Spirit.”
