Epoch
An epoch is a period of time, characterized by particular events. Specific time periods (epochs) are clearly defined (visible) when we look back at history in Scripture.
It is easier to grasp the great panoramic view of history and the times of various events when we place these events on a timeline. Epochs are basically time capsules of history. These time capsules help us see and understand God’s divine outline of history and the future of history.
In Acts 1:6-7, Christ Himself declares the various time periods as “times and seasons” (epochs). Epochs are God’s masterful timeframes.
Epochs of history and the future are etched in time. They will be perfectly administered by God’s unchanging character.
With these things in mind, you may wish to reference our study on “Dispensations.”
