Using this system as a basis, dispensationalists understand the Bible to be organized into seven dispensations: Innocence (Genesis 1:1–3:7), conscience (Genesis 3:8–8:22), human government (Genesis 9:1–11:32), promise (Genesis 12:1–Exodus 19:25), law (Exodus 20:1–Acts 2:4), grace (Acts 2:4–Revelation 20:3), and the millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6).
Kwa kutumia mpangilio huu kama msingi, anayeamini mfumo wa dini anaielewa bibilia kuwa imepangwa katika mifumo saba: kutojua (Mwanzo 1:1-3:7), ufahamu (Mwanzo 3:8-8:22), serikali ya mwanadamu (Mwanzo 9:1-11:32), ahadi (Mwanzo 12:1-Kutoka 19:25), sheria (Kutoka 20:1-Matendo Ya Mitume 2:4), neema (Matendo Ya Mitume 2:4-Ufunuo Wa Yohana 20:3), ufalme wa kipindi cha miaka elfu moja (Ufunuo Wa Yoha 20:4-6).
