Ephesians 3:2 — “The dispensation of the grace of God…”
Romans 2:4 — “The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.”

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: “THE CALM BEFORE THE COMING STORM”

The world sees evil rising, sin increasing, and wickedness multiplying—yet fire does not fall, angels do not strike, and judgment does not descend.
Why?

Because in this Dispensation of Grace, God is temporarily withholding the wrath prophesied in Scripture. This pause is not weakness—it is mercy.
Not delay—it is design.
Not neglect—it is grace.

The prophetic clock stopped at the cross…
The mystery program began with the cross…
And judgment is postponed so salvation can be preached to all.

Let us study why God is holding back His wrath today.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍: “GRACE NOW — WRATH LATER”

Right now, God deals with sinners in patience, not punishment.
In mercy, not judgment.
In grace, not vengeance.

But grace will not last forever.
The storm is coming.
The window is closing.
The moment of opportunity is fading.

Use this grace-given time wisely for Christ.

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: “BE A GRACE AMBASSADOR BEFORE WRATH ARRIVES!”

BELIEVE — Escape wrath by trusting the gospel of grace.
BEG — Plead with others to be reconciled to God.
BE BUSY — The door of grace is open, but not forever.

We are living in a divine delay—
use it to deliver the gospel.

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

Prophecy paused when grace began.
God delays wrath to extend mercy.
Grace appears to all men.
Israel’s program postponed judgment.
The Body must preach before wrath returns.
Misunderstood delay leads to deeper sin.
When grace ends, wrath begins.
