Re: Prophecy - The End Times
I appreciate the definition of Dispensationalism here, as I have been wondering about it lately. I was brought up with Dispensationalist thinking, so I really didn't know any differences. But lately, a well-versed brother on the radio, Steve Gregg, has been speaking about it quite a bit. When people call into his radio program and ask about things like the rapture or tribulation or the kingdom, he always goes into this rather lengthy discussion about how Dispensationalism has shaped most Christians view of things and he believes it to be an error. He says he used to be a Dispensationalist for a long time, but then saw differently in the word. His speakings on this topic are generally foreign to me, but it has caused me to be aware and consider my own Dispensationalist views some.
However, nothing I've heard or read has swayed me from still thinking mostly in Dispensationalist terms, that is, there will be an "hour of trial" to come upon the whole earth, then there will be rapture(s), and Jesus will return to set up His thousand year kingdom on earth, and His elect will rule and reign over the earth with Him.
