Likely after Cain killed Abel and A&E saw the lifeless body of Abel they understood death ?
Or maybe earlier when the Lord clothed them with the skin of an animal ?
No sign or promise of an afterlife also, just death, let alone judgement of heaven or hell. First sign of a concept of hell in Daniel, 2nd-century BC. And yet the Lord states be fruitful and multiply without a warning. Only now millennia later because of the NT we know the Lamb slain was decided before the foundation of the world, meaning the Father knew everything in advance and offered reconciliation and restoration before He created A&E, sacrificing a part of Himself, millennia later. What a love.
It's this kind of reasoning that would make me an instant partly universalist, but it remains what it is, human reasoning.
Indeed.
@GRACE ambassador summed up "Dispensational good news", thus far:
1... Innocence: Adam and Eve heard God's good news, but failed = disobeyed:
2... Conscience: Abel, By faith, "...brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
3... Human Government: Noah, By faith, "prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the
4... Promise: Abraham, By Simple faith, believed "God's Promise" For 'seed as the stars' and
5. Dispensation of the [ Mosaic ] Law:
d) Further and Further Biblically Confirmed By:
Wait!: Even More Biblically Confirmed By "Christ's Very Words From Heaven!" To Paul?:
Thus again, the whole point of where do we find the so-called "one gospel" In The OT?
Cannot possibly find "what is NOT there", eh?
Grace And Peace...
-----------------------------
Summary:
5. Dispensation of the [ Mosaic ] Law:
Part I sum: a) ...God's good news Of 613 Points of "Statutes And Judgments for life"
Ezekiel 20:11; Leviticus 18:5; Deuteronomy 4:8; Nehemiah 9:13-14; Ezekiel 20:13; Ezekiel 20:21
cp Romans 10:5 AV)...
1... Innocence: Adam and Eve heard God's good news, but failed = disobeyed:
"Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil", bringing death ...
2... Conscience: Abel, By faith, "...brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
And The LORD Had Respect unto Abel and to his offering"...Cain, no faith, disobeyed
God's Plain Requirement for His Acceptance...
3... Human Government: Noah, By faith, "prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the
which he condemned the [ no faith/perished ] world, and became heir of the righteousness"...
4... Promise: Abraham, By Simple faith, believed "God's Promise" For 'seed as the stars' and
God Counted it to him For righteousness"... + Sara: "Through faith...she judged Him Faithful
Who Had Promised"...
------------------ continuing: let us now double check if the 'one gospel of looking forward toChrist's DB&R' is(?) / is not found in God's Administration Given to Moses in His:
5. Dispensation of the [ Mosaic ] Law:
a) good news: obey 10 [ Moral ] Commandments / live
b) good news: obey 613 [ Civil & Ceremonial ] Points Of The Law / live
c) God's good news' Of "Statutes And Judgments for life" Verified in Ezekiel 20:11 AV:
"And I Gave them My Statutes, and Shewed them My
Judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them."
d) Further and Further Biblically Confirmed By:
"Ye shall therefore keep My Statutes, and My Judgments: Which if a man do, he shall live in them:
I AM The LORD." (Leviticus 18:5 AV)
"And what nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Judgments So Righteous As All This Law,
Which I Set Before you this day?" (Deuteronomy 4:8 AV)
"Thou Camest Down also upon mount Sinai, and Spakest with them from heaven, and gavest
them Right Judgments, and True Laws, Good Statutes and Commandments: And madest known
unto them Thy holy sabbath, and Commandedst them Precepts, Statutes, and Laws, by the hand
of Moses Thy servant:" (Nehemiah 9:13-14 AV)
"But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness: they walked not in My Statutes, and
they despised My Judgments, Which if a man do, he shall even live in Them; and My sabbaths they
greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out My Fury Upon them in the wilderness, To Consume them."
(Ezekiel 20:13 AV)
"Notwithstanding the children rebelled against Me: they walked not in My Statutes, neither kept
My Judgments to do Them, which if a man do, he shall even live in Them; they polluted My sabbaths:
then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the
wilderness." (Ezekiel 20:21 AV)
Wait!: Even More Biblically Confirmed By "Christ's Very Words From Heaven!" To Paul?:
"For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That
the man which doeth those things shall live by them." (Romans 10:5 AV)

Healthy reasoning ability is sadly missing in the church.
Mostly due to fear, I would say. Skepticism is seen as unbelief.
Believer = heaven
Unbeliever = hell
Skepticism versus gullibility
Just heard a sermon that came down pretty hard on skepticism. Trying to process how I feel about that. Thanks for listening. (send help) It appears that there is no room for healthy skepticism in the church. But for some reason the skeptics weren't called gullible. No one was, actually. We are...

Indeed.
We find a "way" of salvation, but not grace.
The burden of the law that no man could keep fully.
Described by Peter in Acts 15:10 as:
"a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear".

Good point.
We've only just worked our way up through the Torah.
And who understood the message of the Prophets?
Obvious to us now, but a mystery to them.

up before Him as A Tender Plant, and as A Root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
He is despised and rejected of men; A Man of sorrows, and Acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were
our faces from Him; He Was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He Hath Borne our griefs, and
Carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him Stricken, Smitten Of God, And Afflicted.
But He Was Wounded For our transgressions, He Was Bruised For our iniquities: The Chastisement of
our peace was upon Him; and with His Stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we
have turned every one to his own way; and The LORD Hath Laid On Him the iniquity of us all.
He Was Oppressed, and He Was Afflicted, yet He Opened not His Mouth: He Is Brought As A Lamb
to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He Openeth not His Mouth. He Was
taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His Generation? for He Was Cut Off out
of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people Was He Stricken. And He Made His Grave
with the wicked, and with the rich in His Death; because He Had Done no violence, neither Was any
deceit in His Mouth. [ Burial ? ]
Yet It Pleased The LORD To Bruise Him; He Hath Put Him To Grief: when Thou Shalt Make His Soul
An Offering For sin, He Shall See His Seed, He Shall Prolong His Days, And The Pleasure Of The
LORD Shall Prosper In His Hand. He Shall See Of The Travail Of His Soul, And Shall Be Satisfied:
by His Knowledge Shall My Righteous Servant Justify many; for He Shall Bear their iniquities.
Therefore Will I Divide Him A Portion With the great, and He Shall Divide The Spoil With the strong;
Because He Hath Poured Out His Soul Unto Death: and He Was Numbered With the transgressors;

Lots of gospel retrospectively, in Isaiah 53. But who understood the prophecy when it was written?
And certainly the disciples did not see what was coming, even though it was so detailed.
Yes. It certainly speaks to His suffering, death and even burial. But nothing beyond that.
Still, Isaiah 53 stands as an important part of the gospel story today.
Especially any gospel that says, "according to the scriptures".
Part III Perchance the Wonderful Psalms Of God will have a clue about one gospel only, eh?:
a) God's Future Prophecies:
Prophecies of Christ's Death?
"My God, My God, why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?...I AM a worm, and no man; a reproach
of men, and despised of the people. All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out
the lip, they shake the head, saying, He Trusted On The LORD that He would deliver Him:
let Him Deliver Him, seeing He Delighted in Him.
...I AM poured out like water, and all My Bones are out of joint: My Heart is like wax; it is
melted in the midst of My Bowels. My Strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My Tongue
Cleaveth to My Jaws; and Thou Hast Brought Me Into the dust of Death.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced
My Hands and My Feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part My
garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture" (Psalms 22:1-18 cp Fulfillment of
'crucifixion' [ a method of not common in David's day ]? AV)
Prophecy of Christ's Burial?:
"For Thou Wilt not leave My Soul in hell; neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One to See
corruption." (Psalms 16:10 AV) [ burial and resurrection implied? ]
Prophecies of Christ's Resurrection?:
"I Will Declare The Decree: The Lord Hath Said Unto Me, Thou Art My SON;
"For Thou Wilt not leave My Soul in hell; neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One to See
corruption. Thou Wilt Shew Me The Path Of Life: In Thy Presence Is Fulness Of Joy; At
Thy Right Hand There Are Pleasures For Evermore." (Psalms 16:10-11 AV)
-----------------
"The Lord Said Unto my Lord, Sit Thou At My Right Hand, Until I Make Thine
enemies Thy Footstool." (Psalms 110:1 AV):
Did David/Israel understand this as 'good news' to "look forward to" for righteousness?
Or, As we understand Today, Under Grace, The Following?:
This is One of the most frequently quoted Old Testament Passages in the New
Testament. Jesus Himself Quoted It In Matthew 22:44, Peter in Acts 2:34-35,
and the writer of Hebrews 1:13 AV. Should This not be applied "To Christ's
Ascension and Exaltation" To His Father's Right Hand, after His Resurrection?

Do not These Passages Emphasize The Divine Origin and intergenerational transmission of
God's Mosaic Law, And Its Role in shaping the faith and hope of Jacob's ( Israel's ) future
generations? Where Then, is the emphasis of one gospel of "looking forward to C's d,b & r

making wise the simple...The Ordinances Of The Lord Are True, And Righteous Altogether.
More to be desired are They than gold, even much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and
drippings of the honeycomb." (Psalms 19:7-11 AV)
"He Established A Testimony in Jacob and Appointed A Law in Israel, Which He Commanded
our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet
unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and
not forget The Works of God, But keep His Commandments." (Psalms 78:5-7 AV)

God's Mosaic Law, And Its Role in shaping the faith and hope of Jacob's ( Israel's ) future

they that keep His Testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity:

O that my ways were directed to keep Thy Statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have

Yes, that is the question.
David got the download of these prophecies and recorded them.
What a thing for him to behold. And what mystery they held.
It seems obvious that these were about a coming Messiah.
On that they agreed.
Part IV Mosaic Law continued:
Christ on the earth and the 'good news' of the kingdom
vs the so-called 'one good news' [ that some believe ]?:
A) Did you know? Christ Came Under The { Mosaic? } Law:
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God Sent Forth His SON,
Made of a woman, Made Under The Law" (Galatians 4:4 AV)
B) Did you know also this problem = "When Was What"?:
Seems to me that 'one gospel' adherents who say 'it' "began with Adam, and has been
the same thereafter", have a problem, do they not? Hope they can explain This? Do
they believe in a retroactive 'one gospel'? - Just wondering...
C) What nomenclatures define this "beginning" gospel in Mark { Continuing Under The Law? }?
Are they not:
1) gospel of the kingdom?:
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease
among the people." (Matthew 4:23 AV)
"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease
among the people." (Matthew 9:35 AV)
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matthew 24:14 AV)
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of
the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel." (Mark 1:14-15 AV)
+
Why this? Is it not Because:
"Now I say that Jesus Christ Was A Minister of the circumcision for The Truth of God,
to Confirm The Promises Made unto the fathers" (Romans 15:8 AV)
[ hmm, I wonder:
The "Dispensation of Promise" Overlaps "The Law Dispensation"? ]...

Part V: Mystery / Gospel Of The GRACE Of God - coming soon...
D) Did you know?:
God's Prophecy Program Was For the Jews
E) Did you know this 'gospel of the kingdom':
6) Good works will follow salvation
Is not this Why Christ, According To Prophecy, Commanded His people?:
"Be ye therefore perfect, Even as your Father Which is in heaven Is Perfect."
(Matthew 5:48 AV)
8) Finally, Reconciliation never mentioned. ( Israel not alienated From God Yet? )
---------
Also, did you know?:
F) Before The Cross, Peter, the 11, and the 70 Never preached "the death, burial, and
resurrection of Christ" as "Good News", because of Not understanding Christ When
He "Informed the 12 He Was Going To Be Crucified", (Luke 18:31-34 AV), Correct?
Q1: How then did these preach (with Power to heal and cast out demons)
"what they did Not understand", eh? Just wondering...
Q2: How then did anyone in the OT understand and 'look forward' to what "The Closest
apostles, who 'walked 3.5 years with' Christ, on earth, did Not understand?
Q3: Who ever heard of [ & had faith in the ] preaching "a Hidden one gospel"?
G) After The Cross:Peter preaching The [ Deathly ] Murder Of Christ As "Bad News",
How Exactly is that gospel ( good news )?

This is a very interesting comparison.
The gospel of the kingdom was completely different before and after the cross.
'Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation
.. of repentance from dead works,
.... and of faith toward God,
...... Of the doctrine of baptisms,
........ and of laying on of hands,
.......... and of resurrection of the dead,
............ and of eternal judgment.
And this will we do,
if God permit.'
(Heb 6:1-3)
Praise God!
In Christ Jesus
our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.

Part VI Continuation of the 'Everlasting gospel'
A) Prophesied by Christ, on earth, to the twelve, for/about Israel:
"And as He Sat Upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be The Sign Of Thy
Coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus Answered And Said Unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
...he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations; and then shall the end come..." (Full context: Matthew 24:3-21 AV)?:
B) Who will be the "preachers of righteousness" of this 'everlasting' gospel for Israel and "every
nation, kindred, and tongue dwelling on the earth" During God's Judgment of Great Tribulation?:
1) 144,000 Sealed servants
"And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having The Seal Of The Living God:
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth
and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants
of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and
there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children
of Israel..." (Full context: Revelation 7:2-8 AV)
2) two powerful witnesses
"I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy......when they shall have
finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the
street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord Was
Crucified...
...after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon
their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven
saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies
beheld them.
...And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory
to The God Of Heaven." (Full context: Revelation 11:3-13 AV)
Comment?: Surely these above know well the prophetic / covenantal / law message of Matthew - John,
as well as the epistles to Israel = Hebrews - Revelation, eh? Hence, preaching as Jesus Prophesied above?
And Then, The Grand Finale?:
3) one last mighty angel?:
"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto
them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying...
[ ? surely the 'one and only gospel' of "looking forwards(?) / backwards(?) to C's d, b, and r", OR Is It? ]:
...with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for The Hour Of His Judgment Is Come:
and worship Him That Made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
(Revelation 14:6-7 AV) And, live?
Is not this the Exact Opposite Of "worshipping anti-christ and taking the 666 "mark of the beast"?
( Full context: Revelation 13:11-18 AV) And, die?
Q: Does this have anything to do with "Endure to the end { Not "taking the mark"? } and Be Saved" ?
"...and Then Shall The End Come..", Correct?
Amen.
-------------
Addendum:
Q: Is this it for 'good news' or is there Also a 'gospel' in the Millennial Reign of Christ where "Israel, as a light
to the Gentiles", more will need to be saved/counted righteous? Any clues "how to find that one"?
Just wondering if I still have more homework to do? = Part VII...?

That's an interesting question. I have never connected the two.
