Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God The Second Dispensation: Conscience. By disobedience man came to a personal and experimental knowledge of good and evil–of good as obedience, of evil as disobedience to the known will of God.
Through that knowledge conscience awoke. Expelled from Eden and placed under the second, or ADAMIC COVENANT, man was responsible to do all known good, to abstain from all known evil, and to approach God through sacrifice. The result of this second testing of man is stated in Genesis 6:5 and the dispensation ended in the judgment of the Flood. Apparently “the east of the garden” Genesis 3:24 where were the cherubims and the flame, remained the place of worship through this second dispensation. See for the other six dispensations: INNOCENCE (See Scofield “Genesis 1:28”) HUMAN GOVERNMENT (See Scofield “Genesis 8:21”) PROMISE (See Scofield “Genesis 12:1”) LAW (See Scofield “Exodus 19:8”) GRACE (See Scofield “John 1:17”) KINGDOM (See Scofield “Ephesians 1:10”)
