It is crucial to have a correct understanding of the Mosaic Law. The New Testament presupposes a knowledge of the Old Testament. Old Testament events can illustrate and support biblical doctrine. The use of the Old Testament in analogy or illustration does not change or alter the historical even. The use of the Old Testament in analogy or illustration does not establish biblical doctrine. Those who promote the Mosaic Law oppose and persecute the children of the promise. Those who promote the Law have not part in the promise of God, Galatians 4:30. Those who promote the Law must be removed from the fellowship. True believers must appreciate their freedom in Christ.

I'm not sure why I recopied the snippet from Barnes commentary but read it it's entirety, it is a long and excellent one on allegory and why my tablet seems to put it in the below amazes me. of course it's all my tablet's fault. ☟ ;-) So certainly listen to Gil Rugh's sermon and read what' the written summary covers--it is good also!

¶Galatians 4
¶21-27 The difference between believers who rested in Christ only, and those who trusted in the law, is explained by the histories of Isaac and Ishmael. These things are an allegory, wherein, beside the literal and historical sense of the words, the Spirit of God points out something further. Hagar and Sarah were apt emblems of the two different dispensations of the covenant. The heavenly Jerusalem, the true church from above, represented by Sarah, is in a state of freedom, and is the mother of all believers, who are born of the Holy Spirit. They were by regeneration and true faith, made a part of the true seed of Abraham, according to the promise made to him. ¶ ☚Matthew Henry certainly doesn't mean the same thing as Dispensationalists mean by the term, "dispensations" he isn't wrong he just has a different meaning for it!
