A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY

In other
words, Israel was God’s elect nation before ever the Mosaic Covenant was
entered into by reason of the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant. It should be
evident, therefore, that the purpose of the Mosaic Covenant was not to provide
a means for redeeming Israel, but to provide a rule of life for a people already
upon redemption ground. While Israel was yet in Egypt God said: “I will redeem
you with a stretched out arm... I will take you to me for a people, and I will
be to you a God” (Exodus 6:6, 7). And after
their deliverance from Egypt and before coming to Sinai, Moses sang: “Thou in
thy mercy has led forth the people which thou hast redeemed” (Exodus 15:13).
