Right division simply allows the Bible to say what it says.
It allows for the recognition that there are two programs in God's program for mankind.
This is a brief, superficial overview of right division.
God's kingdom includes heaven and earth;
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29:11
Israel will reign on the earth;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:10
The body of Christ will inherit heavenly places;
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:18
The gospel of the kingdom was preached to Israel by the Lord Jesus Christ;
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
Peter was the apostle to the circumcision (Jews) ; Paul was the apostle to the uncircumcision (Gentiles), and as such, taught differing gospels;
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles
Galatians 2:7-8
God has a program for Israel and a program for the Body of Christ.
God will reconcile both in the end;
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians 1:20
God established Israel to be a blessing to the nations;
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2
God established Israel to be a light to the gentiles;
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. Acts 13:47
Jesus Christ came as a minister to Israel to fulfill the promises of God to Israel, bring in the kingdom of heaven, and establish Israel as that light to the nations;
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24
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
Israel rejected Christ and stones Stephen in Acts 7.
God set Israel aside temporarily and turned to the gentiles;
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. Acts 13:46
God has interrupted the timeline to establish his Kingdom by the dispensation of the grace of God, to which Paul has been made a minister to the gentiles;
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Colossians 1:25
Paul tells us of his gospel in this dispensation, by which we are saved by simply believing it;
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Christ paid in full the penalty for our sin, rose again to give us eternal life and the forgiveness of sin. We just have to believe it.
A time of tribulation, will in the future, prepare Israel to accept Christ;
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21
God will establish his Kingdom;
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zechariah 12:10
Israel was unable to achieve its destiny on its own so God will do it for Israel. He will empower Israel to be righteous, to be a light to the Gentiles;
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ezekiel 36:24-27
