Listening to this talk, I can see how Matthew 24:24 is being and will continue to be fulfilled. I was raised dispensational and started asking questions at 9 years old after the church camp I went to wouldn't let any of us children leave the evening service until we all spoke in tongues.. At 9 years old!. I quit asking after years of being brow beat by Christians, including my family members. I never lost faith in God though, just men! I learned to study the bible for myself, and I'm still learning as the Holy Spirit wills it. Read read read, pray pray pray people, stop listening to men! THANK YOU JESUS!
i was enticed with the teaching of dispensational, however i felt something was really off,. they lack the spirit of Love and it only made me confused.
Amen amen amen, perfectly said, stop listening to men and read God's word for yourself and learn, John 16:13 but when he the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth
The Apostle Paul REPEATEDLY says that those that worship Christ are Israel. Somehow they ignore every reference to Christians being the Israel of God, as Paul said, 'Not all who call themselves Israel are Israel." "And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." Matthew 3:9.
@@AnathemaMysticalcel Agreed. Dispensationalists give 'lip-service' only to the Books of Galatians, Hebrews, Romans, while purposely misinterpreting Revelations. Dispensationalist interpretations lead to stark contradictions. Example: "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob." Romans 11:25-26. Dispensationalist say that this points to the future earthly kingdom of Israel when ALL will come to the Lord. However, 2 chapters earlier say something COMPLETELY different: "Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:" Romans 9:27.
@@PaulChristianJenkinsJD I totally agree with you. But I will make the whole arguement as simple as possible. What makes "Israel" Israel? Chapter 19 of Exodus states: "if you obey my voice, you will be a peculiar nation, a chosen people." If you are obeying God you are Israel, the great commission, is fulfillment of the old testament prophecies that God would gather his people from the nations. It is so much simpler then calvanistic dispensationalists make it. Professing them selves wise they become fools.
“I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true-it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.” 1 John 2:26-27 NLT
I'm confused. By literal, do you include figurative? Because there were a lot of messianic prophesies about Jesus. Like, he would take our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. Did he literally do that or is that a metaphor? Or, "he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel". Also, Why only look at messianic prophesies and not the rest of prophesy which is full of allegory and metaphor? And why would we think language is only meant to be taken literally? What about poetry? Jesus spoke in Parables. The disciples asked him why he doesn't speak plainly but in metaphor. He said we should drink his blood and eat his flesh. Hopefully not literal. Is literalism different than what I think it is? One last thing. Just because something is not taken literally doesn't mean someone can pull out any meaning they want from it. The metaphor is in there and it is meant to be taken out by those who want the truth.
No wonder you're confused, didn't he say especially prophecy, and then explains that every prophecy relating to Christ's birth, ministry, death and resurrection were fulfilled literally. It's so off base to suggest that parables and poetry and allegories are to be taken literally as well. If one uses allegory to explain something else, you cannot but take it as not being literal. Context is key! That is how language works. Cheers.
I believe God calls me to abide to have faith in Him, to have in hope for the second coming and to be charitable through love. I believe I have a mission to spread the message of salvation. Anything that doesn't directly help me relate that message, means very little to me. I find peace in praying to God about my lack of understanding for biblical history and theology. I have read and listened to a lot of discussions about these topics, never have I found peace through another man's explanation, only in prayer to God.
Everything that the dispensational position embraces is taught in scripture. Having said that, I don’t see it as doctrine but more as a help or guidelines to understanding. I believe in the dispensation because it allows me to more clearly understand scripture.
In each case you need to look at what the context of those words mean. Also it helps to know the original intent of the author. Soon can either mean "in a short time" or "what will happen next". Shortly means shortly but in what context is it used? In which part? That will determine its meaning. For example in Revelation, an angel says these things must shortly take place. That is more a period of a short time. But the book of Revelation from chapters 4 to 19 focus on visions of John on what will take place in the future. Quickly referenced by the words of Jesus in Revelation 22 mean not that I will return quickly, but rather that when I return it will happen quickly. In other words, David took a while when he became king to when he ruled over Israel. Jesus is saying when He returns, it will happen quickly. The return itself will not take long from Heaven to Earth. There is a difference between Immanence and short time frame. Immanence means it could happen at anytime, short time means it WILL happen shortly. Dispensationalists believe in the immanence of the return which means nothing has to happen for the rapture to take place except the last gentile coming to faith in Jesus. Hope this helps.
@@thegospelofchristsaves7174 I didn't need help, thank you. Revelation 1:3 says, "Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near." Chapters 4-19 are included in that prophecy. "for the time is near." This is the reason they were blessed for reading it. Scripture is always a blessing, but in their case, it saved their lives! Partial preterists don't need any hermeneutical gymnastics to explain words that don't fit the narrative. Understanding comes much easier to me now. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ and pray that each one would find truth in God's Word and so be blessed.
@@neilnolte2587 Your generalist statement about words needed help as some who would read it would not in any way understand what you meant by it. You quote the Bible with "Blessed is the one who reads," which is true, but ignorant is the one who spouts wourds out of emotion without forthought.
Even the old testament people were saved through Christ so I don´t know what´s the deal there. There´s one God, Triune, and one Saviour of the whole world, Christ Jesus. May God save us from false preachings and leaders who won´t seek to preach the truth.
Always great to quote things from someone else’s mail that you didn’t see the other side of and weren’t there for and weren’t alive during the time it was written. Especially in the classic old English that Timothy absolutely definitely wrote it in. 1500 year old first version translations from a dead form of Greek are so so perfect, why even question it ya know?
@@GetAGripBroThen don't quote or use words from anybody you haven't literally met or were alive during the time that they wrote anything; such a stupid argument😂
Funny, I only read about God’s covenants in the Bible. These are the various promises God makes and they inform man how God will interact with his creation. I missed the Scripture references that explain (exegete) the various dispensations.
Pastor Andy Wood gives a very Biblical understanding of dispensationalism in the study of Genesis. It makes total sense. I believe God does not break His promises.
Romans 9: 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants will be named.” 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
You're absolutely right! God does not break his promises. And he's fulfilling it through Jesus christ. This dispensationalism and it's twisted theology is exactly why it's a salvation issue because they are proclaiming that there's the body of Christ which is all Jews and gentiles that are saved and then there's the Jews that are not saved which are still being considered by them God's chosen and that they don't have to go through Jesus to receive salvation because of the promise. But that contradicts everything Jesus said which is nobody comes to the father except through Him. It's really dangerous out there and it's best just to allow the holy spirit to guide you through the word. Or at least find people that you trust. Constantly pray for discernment because I just learned about this a week ago and I thought I knew everything about the deceptions of the world that's going on. Just when you think you have it all figured out the Holy Spirit shows you otherwise. God bless
Dispensationalism also argues God saves people differently throughout time (Abraham was saved differently by faith, Moses was saved by the law, We are saved by Jesus) which argues God is ever-changing and constantly changing his mind. I believe God is the same yesterday today and forever. God does not change his mode of salvation. Jesus says no one enters the kingdom of heaven except through me. If Jesus is not lying then that means Abraham Moses and we must all enter through him, proving God does not change his mode of salvation
You are very, very correct. John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
@Ghee19 it is what dispensationalism teaches. They have revised the position to now say every dispensation was grace but that is not what Scofield taught
Dispensationalism is not biblical. To make it look like one, they ignore the covenants of the Bible and replace it manufactured beliefs. Don’t get tied up with lies.
How to rightly divide. 2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Church age(faith alone) Galatians 2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Romans 4:5 - But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 1st rapture(pretribulation/before tribulation) 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 King James Version 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1st judgment(judgment seat of Christ)-good or bad 2 Corinthians 5:10 King James Version 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 King James Version 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. ----------------- Tribulation(works, not just faith) John.2:22-26 kjv 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 2nd judgment (great white throne judgment) Revelation.8:3-4 Kjv 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. Revelation 20:11-15 KJV And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. In conclusion Jesus raptures the church and we meet in the clouds. Tribulation saints endure to the end, dying for Christ’s witness, and rejecting the mark. On top of that they are gathered out of the angels hands, after they have been killed And then it’s the 2nd coming at the very very end Each man his his own order •Order of Raptures 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then [cometh] the end, We leave when Christ comes for us, they endure to the end. It’s simple the more you read the more you learn. If you haven’t opened the Bible how do you expect to learn it, learn from others? Doctrine of man, is doctrine of devils. Man has a deceitful heart Jeremiah 17:9-10 King James Version 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
@@LilPeeper420 There are major wholes to dispensational viewpoints (which most modern theologians have concluded is unbiblical). The Torah wasn't given to Goyim (Gentiles), it was given to Israel. Yet, you can be grafted into Israel in the present age still (faith). Further, you cannot believe in dual covenant theology (which dispensationalism requires) and believe Yeshua fulfilled ALL promises to Israel at the same time. This would create a contradiction of fallacy pertaining to the blessing due only to the Messiah. And this contradiction would literally rob Yeshua of His glory! In essence, either you believe we are new creations in Yeshua, a holy united people, or you believe that Yeshua didn't quite get over the finish line, and there is still some work to be done on His part to fulfill His promise to Israel. There's so much more to write, but the conundrum of robbing Yeshua of His glory precludes the necessity to continue critiquing a theology originating from a little Irish girl's dream.
there was a word called Dispension, which mean to give, that was the original Dictionary meaning in Bible, Bible also says he dispensed his grace, but the word dispensationalism was made 100 years ago and teaches that god changes with the ages, he DELT with people different but gods original plan never changes
@@SpotterVideo I also noticed they teach there are the two Holy Spirits, one that distributes spiritual gifts (healing, miracles, etc.) to Jews and the other Holy Spirit available to Christians that just resides in them, but doesn't give them gifts, so poor Christians are at mercy of the Devil who "rapes" them back and forth and they should rejoice in their affliction because they already have a promise of an eternal life through their faith anyway. Such dispensational view makes Christian church totally invalid, like some powerless fool and the Devil laughs. Now, the sad thing is that what I state here is what we see manifest in real life, so I wonder if it isn't biblical, why does it manifest?
Great reply! I agree. I'm preaching on those verses in Romans 11 in a couple of weeks mind if I use some of this information to quote? Especially like the replacement theology comparisons and the quotes from the Dallas crowd.
Dispensationalism seems to highlight ethnic Israel more than it highlights the True Israel of God, the Lord Jesus Christ who has torn down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile and has unified all those who he has redeemed creating one new man as preordained by God and foretold by Sacred Scriptures.
Not really. It just seems to be that way because after the fiasco of 1600+ years of the gentiles aka the Age of Conscience, God began to move again and formed a nation that is ethnically distinct and gave His promises to them during the Age of Promise. They failed, spectacularly, and out of the gentiles and the Jews, God formed the Church, which is the focus in the present Dispensation, the Age of Grace. He will fulfil the promises He made to Abraham in the Millennial Kingdom, which is physically peopled by the Jews and gentiles, but ruled by the Church, who are kings and priests and are already in their glorified bodies and are able to travel dimensions. The Jews and the gentiles will also reign in a lesser capacity as hinted in the gospels, so essentially during the Millennial Kingdom, the Church, Israel, and the gentiles are going to reign with Christ for a thousand years. What a glorious era that will be!
@@sambee4927 Thank you for sharing your thoughts, my friend. But do kindly provide Scriptural basis for this so we can all carefully study it. Thank you, again.
The passage you are citing says that people who WERE Gentiles, are no longer called Gentiles. They are no longer foreigners and strangers to the promises of YHVH, but have become fellow citizens with the saints of YHVH. Tearing down the wall is what allowed former pagans to join Israel. The 'one new man' is Israel and those who have now chosen to live like Israel lives.
@@johananswedlund7149 Not according to Eph. 2: 14-22. This explains why Christ has only ONE BRIDE not two - THE CHURCH, made up of all who are in Christ. (Jews and Gentiles) No wonder the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews included Abel, Enoch, Noah, Job, and others, in its "Hall of Faith," though they were not ethnically Jews. However, they had the same faith as Abraham (Gal. 3: 7-9,). Indeed ever since it's by grace through faith! (Rom. 4: 10 - 13) Hallelujah!
Thanks so much for you very clear explanation. Even as a novice, however, I can't help but question your commitment to "all things literal" when large passages of the bible are song (poetry) that focus on the heart and large portions are apocalyptic and by definition contain many symbols that are not meant to be taken literally. According to "all things literal" the pregnant woman and red dragon of Rev 12 will be a woman and a real dragon? Do I have that right?
Hello. I just have a comment that helped me. Let the Bible interpret itself either in the passages before or after (context), or in the same book (near text) or remote text (found in another part of the Bible-in another book. A word search sometimes helps). Discern what is 'Like and As' when scripture describes it like that, as in Revelation. We know when John says 'Behold the Lamb of God', Jesus isn't a 4 legged animal but a picture/type. When the literal sense makes sense, give it no other sense. Most of Psalms is prophetic scripture that will be fulfilled in the future. A lot of prophetic Scripture also has duel fulfillment. It has happened in the past but will also be fulfilled in the future. 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. 🙂
@@jennifercrawford7129 Dual fulfillment? In Matthew 24:2 Jesus is answering the question of when the stones of Herod's temple would be torn down, and in 24:21 He says that this would be accomplished during the Great Tribulation by the Roman soldiers: "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies then recognize that her desolation is at hand" (Luke 21:20). We know in hindsight that that happened in 70 a.d. right after the Christian Jews fled from the city. In Mt 24:21 Jesus said that THAT was the "great tribulation" and that there would never be a worse tribulation in the future. So if you believe the words of Jesus there cannot be a dual fulfillment of the 70 a.d. great tribulation. It boils down to this: Do you believe the words of Jesus or the words of Cyrus Scofield, the founder of dispensationalism?
@@jennifercrawford7129 Can you show me anywhere in the New Testament where the apostles declare that an OT prophecy was fulfilled once in Christ and then there will be a second ("dual") fulfillment at a later time? Anywhere?
If the word "dispensation" refers to a period of time, when is the time period of God as mentioned in Colossians 1:25. The passage states, "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;" The passage parallels Ephesians 3:2, which reads, "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:" Is the dispensation of grace limited to the church age? Noah found grace in the OT. Could it be that the word "dispensation" refers a dispensing of something like a covenant? A paper towel dispenser dispenses paper towels. The covenants would be a better method of understanding the dispensing of the selected covenant. The church or Gentiles are strangers to the covenants. What think ye?
I have listened to talks with dispensationalists and covenant theologians. They seem to be saying the same things almost. The covenant theologians also believe in different covenants that God made with His people, like different dispensations. The major difference comes when the covenant is seen to apply only to the church and all future promises made distinctly to Israel are then interpreted as being spiritual and for the church. As John MacArthur says, Israel gets all the curses and none of the blessings. Israel was always going to reject messiah the first time, it’s the only way our sins could be paid. Even the proto-evangelion in Genesis 3:15 shows that Christ was always doing to die and the rejection of Israel was always on the plan. They’ve not been replaced because of the nation of Jews rejecting Christ.
So did Christ only die for the sins of the Israelites or everyone? It's not replacement, it's still the everlasting covenant that was promised to Abraham. Israelites just aren't separated anymore.
I would push back slightly on subjective private interpretation caused by not taking a literal approach. Whether you believe the fall was caused through Adam and Eve eating literal fruit tempted by an actual reptile or you believe the fruit was sin in general and Satan was speaking as Satan does today but metaphorically described as a snake, you still have to deal with the same conclusion. Literalism and mytho-history bring us to the same places, same realities, same principles. For example, if someone believed Jonah was an allegory pointing to Christ rather than a literal historical figure (based on Nineveh, timelines and populations), it doesn’t steal from what Jonah ultimately points to. Christ resurrecting. I don’t take this view of Jonah but have friends who do, and ultimately we still come to the same conclusions. Just some thoughts. Great video!
Hi. Have you listened to Abner Chou’s lectures on christocentric hermeneutics? Not every passage in scripture is to be taken as an allegory for Christ. Yes, there are types, like Jonah but we read the scriptures as the authors intended their writings to be read. The reason I say this is that although the example of Jonah is good there are other ones that lead to replace,ent theology and applying all scriptures about Israel onto the church.
No one knows what the serpent was. Remember, God cursed the serpent after the fall and made it what it is today. Some have suggested that it was an upright being with legs. Even an intellect, though not human. “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.”
@@emknight72 It's also important to note that the Hebrew word for "snake" or "serpent" had two connotations; one being 'deceiver' and the other being 'shining' or 'shining one'. There is a fascinating lesson from a well-respected ancient Hebrew scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser

This is not strictly true. There were a few Jesuits who taught a proto version of this doctrine in the 1500's, but it didn't become popular until Darby.
The only way to understand what appears to be a contradiction in the word of God because there (are none) is to understand dispensationalism, Like I’ve told other who doubt find out why apostle Paul uses the word in the New Testament and the context behind it brothers and sisters.. let the Lord lead you, God bless you all in Christ.
I had been teaching the 7 dispensations and with it the past, present and the future of God's people became clearer than before. It even gives a clear understanding of what will transpire from the rapture to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ while the world is subjected to the 7 years of Tribulation. The series of events and their occurrences appears very clear and while one studies it the whole scenario looks like a view of the valley from the mountaintop. Thank you so much for the confirmation Got Questions.
I respectfully disagree, everything that most people agree about regarding dispensationalism is simply because that’s what they have been taught, not because they actually read the Bible.
This doctrine has a purpose and it is to try to diminish the person and power of Christ to save the whole world. Be careful with doctrines that undermine the person of Jesus as God, even the God of the Old Testament too.
@@michaelseay9783well I must be a "fluke" and/or "rarity" (to you at least) because I was a " dispensationalist" BEFORE I had ever even heard the term or was introduced to the "idea" of "dispensationalism" because I READ MY BIBLE. At the very least because God has a COMMANDMENT to do so; 2 Timothy 2:15 "STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the WORD of TRUTH." ("Fun" fact: the ONLY verse in the entire Bible that says to STUDY the Bible is found ONLY in the KJV Bible) I was also "KJV only" before I knew "KJV only" was an actual thing; because not only did no other translation (per-version) sound right to me, it was and IS blatantly obvious that all other translations were corrupted by the "god of this world" whether the translators knew they were doing his work or not.

Today's theologians are all influenced by Israel. Check out Adam Clark, John Gill, Matthew Henry, and Albert Bell. Otherwise you get some version of Jonathan Cahn or Michael Brown.

You have to use your brain too . Where you see literal reading take it literally or symbolic reading that is symbolic . Have You never read that church replaced Israel !! no! Look now what's happening in Israel ! It's being set up for ez 38&39 .
The word "dispensation" is in the Bible. Use it as a starting point. Then notice where it says "but God", "but now", and follow the pattern. The doctrine of the Church the Body of Christ is written in Paul's epistles, the 12 Apostles spoke of an earthly hope, Paul, the Apostle to the gentiles, spoke of a heavenly hope for the Church. Salvation by grace, not by works, not by the Law. Yup, dispensations makes lots of sense. Thank you Lord!!
Hi, I like the name of this channel! I've always been taught, and am still convinced of, the dispensational view. However, in all that time I have rarely heard the thing about seven dispensations and don't think it is helpful. And I would avoid the term "two peoples of God" because, again, it's better simply to talk about Israel and the Church, as the Bible does. People of other persuasions often jump on cliché phrases such as these and then dismiss the whole understanding. Maybe these phrases form part of the debate in the USA, but in the UK I've hardly heard these terms; they grate with me, even though I am firmly persuaded by the viewpoint. You rightly say the real issue is literalism, including with prophecy. It once dawned on me that, if prophecy can be fulfilled "spiritually" or non-literally, then we'd have no idea when it had ever been fulfilled; and one reason God gave it is to prove to us that He is God, who knows the end from the beginning. It seems so obvious that it must be clear and precise, and that God's intention is to communicate clearly and reveal who He is.
Absolutely wrong. I'll definitely show you if you have time! Dispensation is paying attention to the time lines in the Bible. For example.... No human could be saved before Jesus sacrificing himself and being crucified. You see the dispensation!?? It's the time line. We are so lucky to be living after Jesus sacrificed himself.

PS: the word god, as a word, is a title of office. Any individual in that office can carry the title of that office. Note then that "is One" and "as One" are two different statements.

You did not even answer the last question - is it biblical? and never used any scripture as you said you would. What a disappointment and waste of time. All you did was summarize dispensationalism.
Before you “waste your time”, look at the time stamp. This is not a dissertation, but a summary. Summaries are quite useful for someone who runs across an unfamiliar idea and wants to get on with a task at hand. I’m grateful. Thank you for this helpful video so that I don’t spend MY time on hours of bunny trail. Later I will do a longer study.
@@deborahbraman4667 sister, but don't you think that he should also answer whether it's biblical and use scripture because he said he would use. It's good to summarize but the problem is he did not deliver what he said he would. I think we should always stand on our words.
Dispensationalism is unbiblical in several ways. The first is that Dispensationalism created man-made time periods that simply don't exist in the Bible. Second is that Israel and the Christian church are not two separate churches. We have all been grafted onto the same family olive tree. We are all spiritual Israel and all from the seed of Abraham. Dispensationalism has only been taught in the last 120 years or so. It is a newer philosophy.
It is not unbiblical. There are different time periods in the Bible. None are man made,everyone of them have scriptures dedicated to proving that one time period,the Bible quote literally says so. And you just disproved your own point: Israel and the Christian church are NOT two sewerage churches,but we are the same family olive tree? That means Dispensationalism agrees with you,and yes they are two different people. And there are different time periods focusing on those people. Abraham’s sees was the tribes,and nations. Not spiritual,however I say that only to my knowledge because I haven’t seen any scripture saying that all Christina’s and Israelites are spiritually of Abraham
The problem with the "literal" point he brings up is that it seems to ignore the incorporation of exegesis, which might affect interpretation in a less than literal manner.
Keep in mind that this idea came about in a time when 7th Day Adventists, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism, Finnleyism and other heresies were created. I’ll take the historical view of Post-Millenialism instead.
Agree, without Darby and Scofield we arent even having this conversation. 1800 if Christian history had NO conception of the "Rapture." Uts no wonder paganism has overrun Christendom when Christians are all waiting for the fire escape.
@@gregorylatta8159 his teachings make the most sense to me personally. I’m open to learning everything I can. I’ve just Recently been saved so I’m still learning as much as possible.
@@gregorylatta8159They believed that faith plus works applied to the Old Testament and to the upcoming Tribulation Period. In today’s dispensation of the grace of God, salvation is by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. No heresy at all.
His Pre Trib rapture theory is unbiblical and unfounded in any scripture. The church will endure tribulation to the end of time. That's the second coming of our Lord Jesus in all Power and Glory. There's no other coming except for the deception of Satan.
Get John Reisinger's book "The Four Seeds of Abraham." He shows the fallacy of Dispensationalism and Traditional Covenant Theology. It is a much sought after book!
Usually I find that Got questions has very solid teaching. Here however you explain dispensationalism twice... without once showing where we should find this doctrine in scripture. So I am left with only the two dispensationalist distinctives - I believe, yes, we should interpret scripture using the historical literal grammatical method. However, I do not see where a distinction should be drawn between the peoples of God - We are one church, as described by Paul in Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." which to me seems to refute the idea entirely
You can see this is truth because it's how scripture is set out, how history as been set out our present time and future to come, Israel and the Church. It's like taking a bird's eye view on human past present and future. It's nothing to be arguing about. . 🙄
The only thing I have heard of is dispensationalism until I asked questions why it doesn’t line up with NT teachings. Can you show me some spots that show dispensational theology?
@@narrowistheway77 Be careful, demon is also a new common word as the word devil was always used before. I do see that demon probably comes from the Greek but why change it? Your thoughts?
@@John14Verse6 Dispensationalism is a total lie and deception of Satan. Dispensationalism relies on Daniel 9:24-27, in particular Vs 26 and 27, being about a future antichrist when in fact all of Daniel 9:24-27 is about Jesus Christ and was fulfilled by Christ in the first century. Satan is a master at making people fall into the trap of thinking that most of the Bible was written about them in their present and future condition. While it is true that all of scripture provides us with knowledge of the one truth and scripture interprets scripture, the fact is that most of scripture is not about us and our future. Most of scripture is fulfilled in our current day. The greatest deception of Satan is the propagation of the man made geopolitical nation of Israel which we are taught is a huge part of eschatology/end times prophecy when in reality the modern day geopolitical nation of Israel has nothing to do with end times prophecy other than just being another Godless nation full of unrepentant sinners and loaded with iniquity and evil. Jesus Christ ended the Jewish age when He died on the cross, ended it permanently. Jews are now no different than anyone else, either they accept Jesus Christ as the one true King, or they are headed to the lake of fire. Jews don't have any special deal waiting for them. Dispensationalists count the false notion that the "Church" is special now, gets called off of the earth when the times get tough, and then God has a separate plan for Jews. Just think about how counter to what Christ Himself taught - there is not two plans of salvation, there is one.....Him. Period. Think about how ridiculous it is that Christ's saints would be called off the earth during the most important time to stand up for Him. He told us over and over to be prepared to die for His namesake.
Excellent explanation of why Dispensationalism, and NOT Calvinism (under the euphemisms of "Doctrines of Grace," Covenant Theology" and "Reformed"), is what the Bible teaches.
And yet they say it's exactly the opposite, citing Darby. Always Darby. They don't seem to know that Irenaeus, Tertullian, St. Augustin and others in the first five centuries talked about different dispensations.
It's amazing to me how a word that only appears four time, and only in Paul's epistles, and only referring to his own ministry; can be so perverted. The scriptures- referring to the Jews and Gentiles- say that now there's no difference. See Romans and Ephesians for examples.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE NOW, BUT BEFORE THIS DISPENSATION OF GRACE THERE WAS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. GENTILE WOMAN WANTED HELP FROM JESUS BUT HE DIDNT WANT TO HELP HER AT FIRST? WHY? BECAUSE. HE CAME FOR ISRAEL AND NOT GENTILES. READ THESE VERSES WITH UNDERSTANDING. HE ACCEPTED TO HELP HER ONLY WHEN SHE ACCEPTED JEWS AS SUPERIOR TO HER BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY GENTILES COULD RECEIVE BLESSINGS THAT WERE INTENDED FOR JEWS AS IT WAS PROPHECIED ALL OVER OLD TESTAMENT.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Which version? The sectarianism and infighting among the early adherents was so bitter that even Spurgeon was known to comment about their lack of charity or Christian love. Thus the “exclusive brethren” known most for schism and severity, among whom was of course j.n. Darby and interestingly Aleister Crowley’s father was a devout preacher in the movement.
@@J.J.-hz5fvThis is the most common objection. Problem is it's just not true. Check out a book called The End-Times by the Ancient Church Fathers written by Ken Johnson. He compiles quotes by Christian scholars from as early as the 1st and 2nd century that would be considered dispensationalist.
This is so true, you have to only read the Bible to see that this is right. So many haters, don't listen to them. Just read the Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit to teach you and not your own intellect and He will give understanding 😄
@@taralanger9279 How do you know it’s Him and not you understanding it the way you were taught? That is the difference between subjective and objective reading. It can’t be based on how we feel about it. When I was first saved, I knew everything in the Bible based on what I had been taught. That’s subjective. But when I started reading with a clear head, it started to make sense. We don’t have to try and spiritualize it. It’s written down right in front of our eyes.
It didn't, you need to study up in history. Catholicism and other denominations fell away from it with replacement theology. The early church fathers (post apocalyptic father's) taught dispensationalism. Ana-Baptist and a few other denominations still taught dispensationalism.
@christsavesreadromans1096I was told that exact thing by a dispensationalist when, I said “Jesus said, ‘It’s hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.’” He said, “Jesus, said that to an unbelieving Jew, before the resurrection.” I had no idea until that conversation that dispensationalists hold Jesus’ words as lesser than Paul’s. I was shocked!
The Jews come from Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel. Many cases in the OT where God separated Judah from Israel (my ot history is very rusty) as a separate nation. It is the accepted belief that the Jews are all that remain of the 12 tribes due to interracial breeding of the other tribes.
No1 Take a hermeneutics class No2 read Ephesians 10times until you realize that Christian gentiles an Christian Jew's are ONE in Christ. It's so strainious to get ideas of the last century out of people's mind. . .
So if we are to take everything in the Bible literally, then God is a bird because he longs to gather us under his wings, and the devil is a dragon in revelation. This is ludicrous. He ignores the fact that there are different genres in the Bible that communicate truth, but not all are to be taken literally.
So the Apostles were wrong in Acts 15 for not taking Moses literally that circumcision was, "an everlasting covenant." (Genesis 17:13) To bad the Apostles didn't understand dispensationalism.
A literal interpretation does consider genre. When someone says they take a literal approach to scripture it doesn’t mean they ignore metaphors or allegory. Quite the contrary. But every metaphor has a literal meaning it is trying to convey. For example the dragon you mentioned represents a real being, the devil, not just some random thing or idea that we can interpret however we want. The opposite of a literal approach is to make metaphors or allegories where there are none or saying that Revelation just represents the struggle of good vs. evil and doesn’t actually have literal events or people in mind.
There were some things that were guaranteed on condition of obedience and some things promised apart from any conditions. It seems to me that God formed Israel from the man Abraham as a means to the end, Christ. I am still trying to learn though
I don't disect God's word. The Bible is entire. I don't select a portion and ASSUME that I am only meant to apply only a portion of it. We are told NOT TO ADD TO- NOR TAKE AWAY. The idea that the Bible and it's meaning is a platform for man to pick apart and apply what fits us due to our time frame and to apply MANs theories of it as a whole to me, serves as so counterproductive and seperatist that it grieves the truth in that the Lord speaks to us through it. Bith Paul and Jesus made reference to God's law in the old testament , NOT The add ons of pharisees. Sadly, if it a seperatism and adds confusion- We should understand that God is NOT the author of confusion. God does NOT make mistakes and grace has been given mankind since day one of our existance. It is BY FAITH through grace in Christ Jesus that we are saved. Bless us all Lord and show us the way to understand YOU not by words of men or scholars, science, or theorists- but by your Holy Spirit in the reading and continual prayer of what YOU provide for us daily. In Jesus Christ I pray, Amen
The first principal of proper hermeneutics is approach and understanding the Bible literally. We should not go to a symbolic interpretation first. Let the Bible say what it says, first.
The problem with the Church today is that they have this rabid approach to scripture in which, not only are they Israel, but they are Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah, Peter, the 12, Paul and just about any verse is read like this. " Jesus said to ' us', the Bible tells ' us'. The Bible teaches, Peter said to ' us'". They are in every verse. They are in every narrative by the mere fact of being a human, or a disciple, or a worshipper. So any verse that simply distinguishes lost or saved this is all the verse has to include. The other rabid method is seeing one incident in scripture and concluding that it means ' always happens the same way at all times'. These ideas are introduced alarmingly at Sunday school level and by the time they are adults they don't know how to approach scripture without applying everything to them selves. All they have to do is find the verse and conclude that it's " in the Bible".
Reformed theology teaches that when God told Abraham he would make him the father of many nations and it would be an everlasting covenant that God didn’t really mean it but he was lying.
One of the things I think a lot of people miss is that God said he’d make a NATION. He didn’t create a new race of people. Just like the Western Europeans who settled America. A nation was created, not a race.
All of God’s covenants are “everlasting” from his side of the table. God does not fail. 4:31 That does not prevent the other side from breaking it. In the the parable of the vineyard owner, Jesus laid it out clearly. The vineyard (speaking of Israel) has been given to others. The kingdom has been TAKEN from them, and given to a nation that produces the fruit thereof. I take Jesus’ pronouncements as the final word
Dispensationalism teaches a pre-trib rapture, which the bible does not support. No where does it say we will be taken up secretly or silently or that we will be spared going through the time of tribulation (7 plagues). The Bible is clear that we must go through tribulation and persevere to the end in order to be saved.
@christsavesreadromans1096 no it doesn’t. You don’t know what you’re saying,salvation is dependent upon what YOU do,which it isn’t at all,no one gets saved by what they do. You make Jesus not important by that teaching
@christsavesreadromans1096 Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by Grace are ye saved through faith,and that not of yourselves,it is the gift of God,not of works lest any man should boast. Here Paul says you are saved only by faith you are saved,in the verse you pointed out it wasn’t talking about salvation. By the way,at the end of 1 Corinthians 13,he says that charity(in the KJV) is the most important. But he also mentions faith and hope. He says “the greatest of these three is charity.” So clearly Paul isn’t talking about salvation at all on that chapter,he’s talking about something different. You just don’t see it. And the in 1 Corinthians 14,the very next chapter he says “Follow after charity,and desire after spiritual gifts,…” so he wasn’t talking about being saved,he was talking about spiritual gifts.
Dispensationalism is what happens when regular people are finally blessed with the scripture free from the tyranny of the traditional church and they open up to the prophets and find that the blessing for our stael in no wY fit the church
While he tries to take on a lot of hard topics, this guy does not know how to teach a point of theology without just explaining what it is and where it comes from without giving his opinion on it's Biblical truth (or lack there of) throughout the explanation. As a good teacher of the Bible and theology you need to be able to help people understand the basic facts (non disputable) before you get to the "is it biblical" (very disputable).
There were others before 1830's. But the early 1800's is when it seemed to explode. (Pierre Poiret, John Edwards, Isaac Watts, Alexander Campbell, then Darby + all the other heretics that followed)
As I listen to dispensationalists defend their position, often times the conversation ends up with them saying, "Well, if we are wrong, this is not salvational anyways so we are in good shape." Wow, that could not be more wrong. Dispensationalists are not saved because their system of belief is actually denying what Jesus Christ did on the cross. They are denying that Jesus is the True Israel and that He died to make everyone ONE body! Dispensationalism is not just a "little" wrong about Jesus Christ, it misses the whole point of Jesus Christ being True Israel. Believing in a rapture of the Church so another plan can play out for national Israel is saying that Jesus Christ did not fulfill the covenant promises - denying Him on the cross! Dispensationalism is a very serious and very deadly system of beliefs, it is not just "slightly" off of the truth.
You think your interpretation of “what it says” is the same as mine? How about the more than 700 different languages it has been translated to. If it’s a rapture you’re subscribing to, you’re missing the point. Love is the fulfillment of the law.
false doctrine that is running rampant in the Church, there is ONE dispensation (a Dispensing) God's "GOSPEL of GRACE" on fallen man through JESUS CHRIST prophesied in the O.T. fulfilled in the N.T. (Ephesians 3:2-5) "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: {3} How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, {4} Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) {5} Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ALSO Col 1:20-29, Would love to debate you Sir but doubt you will
Paul wrote Ephesians. All the Ephesians (all they in Asia) turned away from Paul (per Paul's epistle). Furthermore Paul was forbidden tp preach the word in Asia, and the Ephesians were in Ephesus, which was the Roman capital city of Asia Minor. All the candles stick Churches of Revelation were in Asia Minor and (per Acts 16:6) Paul was forbidden to preach the word there.
@@KeepingWatch95 Not sure what this has to do with the dispensation of Grace being the one and ONLY Gospel, but will respond, Paul clearly visited Ephesus "in Asia" twice and as it is yet true Act 16:6 was for forbidden to preach the Gospel in Asia yet in Act 18:1-6 while in Corinth is released to Ephesus to preach the Gospel ( Act 19:1,2,17,26, ) Paul was NOT preaching a different Gospel to the Ephesians "Asians", also the epistle to the Ephesians nowhere says that "they turned" from him, and in Rev 2 they are being "warned" to do the "first" works "or else" (Revelation 2:4-5) "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. {5} Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." maybe you could explain, just don't know what this has to do with ONE dispensation of the Gospel of Grace throughout human history

Listening to this talk, I can see how Matthew 24:24 is being and will continue to be fulfilled. I was raised dispensational and started asking questions at 9 years old after the church camp I went to wouldn't let any of us children leave the evening service until we all spoke in tongues.. At 9 years old!. I quit asking after years of being brow beat by Christians, including my family members. I never lost faith in God though, just men! I learned to study the bible for myself, and I'm still learning as the Holy Spirit wills it. Read read read, pray pray pray people, stop listening to men!

The Apostle Paul REPEATEDLY says that those that worship Christ are Israel. Somehow they ignore every reference to Christians being the Israel of God, as Paul said, 'Not all who call themselves Israel are Israel."
"And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." Matthew 3:9.
This would also make the statement in revelation make sense. "I know those who say they are jews but are not".
@@AnathemaMysticalcel Agreed. Dispensationalists give 'lip-service' only to the Books of Galatians, Hebrews, Romans, while purposely misinterpreting Revelations. Dispensationalist interpretations lead to stark contradictions. Example:
"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob." Romans 11:25-26.
Dispensationalist say that this points to the future earthly kingdom of Israel when ALL will come to the Lord. However, 2 chapters earlier say something COMPLETELY different:
"Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:" Romans 9:27.
@@PaulChristianJenkinsJD I totally agree with you. But I will make the whole arguement as simple as possible.
What makes "Israel" Israel?

Needed this, thank you. Back to studying the word
I'm confused. By literal, do you include figurative? Because there were a lot of messianic prophesies about Jesus. Like, he would take our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. Did he literally do that or is that a metaphor? Or, "he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel". Also, Why only look at messianic prophesies and not the rest of prophesy which is full of allegory and metaphor? And why would we think language is only meant to be taken literally? What about poetry? Jesus spoke in Parables. The disciples asked him why he doesn't speak plainly but in metaphor. He said we should drink his blood and eat his flesh. Hopefully not literal. Is literalism different than what I think it is? One last thing. Just because something is not taken literally doesn't mean someone can pull out any meaning they want from it. The metaphor is in there and it is meant to be taken out by those who want the truth.
Truth has been spoken. Thank you.😊
Excellent comments. Excellent questions. I wish that I could give you more than one like. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good question.
Thank you.
No wonder you're confused, didn't he say especially prophecy, and then explains that every prophecy relating to Christ's birth, ministry, death and resurrection were fulfilled literally. It's so off base to suggest that parables and poetry and allegories are to be taken literally as well. If one uses allegory to explain something else, you cannot but take it as not being literal. Context is key! That is how language works. Cheers.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
I believe God calls me to abide to have faith in Him, to have in hope for the second coming and to be charitable through love. I believe I have a mission to spread the message of salvation. Anything that doesn't directly help me relate that message, means very little to me. I find peace in praying to God about my lack of understanding for biblical history and theology. I have read and listened to a lot of discussions about these topics, never have I found peace through another man's explanation, only in prayer to God.
@@davepane7306 amen.
Everything that the dispensational position embraces is taught in scripture. Having said that, I don’t see it as doctrine but more as a help or guidelines to understanding. I believe in the dispensation because it allows me to more clearly understand scripture.
Many who claim to take God's Word literally don't take the words, "soon", "shortly", "quickly" or "this generation" literally.
In each case you need to look at what the context of those words mean. Also it helps to know the original intent of the author. Soon can either mean "in a short time" or "what will happen next". Shortly means shortly but in what context is it used? In which part? That will determine its meaning. For example in Revelation, an angel says these things must shortly take place. That is more a period of a short time. But the book of Revelation from chapters 4 to 19 focus on visions of John on what will take place in the future. Quickly referenced by the words of Jesus in Revelation 22 mean not that I will return quickly, but rather that when I return it will happen quickly. In other words, David took a while when he became king to when he ruled over Israel. Jesus is saying when He returns, it will happen quickly. The return itself will not take long from Heaven to Earth.
There is a difference between Immanence and short time frame. Immanence means it could happen at anytime, short time means it WILL happen shortly. Dispensationalists believe in the immanence of the return which means nothing has to happen for the rapture to take place except the last gentile coming to faith in Jesus. Hope this helps.
Also, "At Hand."
Amen amen amen!
@@thegospelofchristsaves7174 I didn't need help, thank you. Revelation 1:3 says, "Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near." Chapters 4-19 are included in that prophecy. "for the time is near." This is the reason they were blessed for reading it. Scripture is always a blessing, but in their case, it saved their lives!

Funny, I only read about God’s covenants in the Bible. These are the various promises God makes and they inform man how God will interact with his creation.
I missed the Scripture references that explain (exegete) the various dispensations.
No you didn't... cause they aren't there! 😆
Pastor Andy Wood gives a very Biblical understanding of dispensationalism in the study of Genesis. It makes total sense. I believe God does not break His promises.
“Makes sense” says the guy getting paid to say something lol
Romans 9: 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants will be named.” 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
Galatians 3:29
@@jacksonrelaxin3425I know right. It sounds like some "trust me bro" religion.
You're absolutely right! God does not break his promises. And he's fulfilling it through Jesus christ. This dispensationalism and it's twisted theology is exactly why it's a salvation issue because they are proclaiming that there's the body of Christ which is all Jews and gentiles that are saved and then there's the Jews that are not saved which are still being considered by them God's chosen and that they don't have to go through Jesus to receive salvation because of the promise. But that contradicts everything Jesus said which is nobody comes to the father except through Him. It's really dangerous out there and it's best just to allow the holy spirit to guide you through the word. Or at least find people that you trust. Constantly pray for discernment because I just learned about this a week ago and I thought I knew everything about the deceptions of the world that's going on. Just when you think you have it all figured out the Holy Spirit shows you otherwise. God bless
Dispensationalism also argues God saves people differently throughout time (Abraham was saved differently by faith, Moses was saved by the law, We are saved by Jesus) which argues God is ever-changing and constantly changing his mind. I believe God is the same yesterday today and forever. God does not change his mode of salvation. Jesus says no one enters the kingdom of heaven except through me. If Jesus is not lying then that means Abraham Moses and we must all enter through him, proving God does not change his mode of salvation
No that’s not correct
You are very, very correct.
John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
@Ghee19 it is what dispensationalism teaches. They have revised the position to now say every dispensation was grace but that is not what Scofield taught
Pastor Nelson you didn't say if dispensationalism was or wasn't Biblical. But thank you for your many videos. Lord bless you.
Dispensationalism is not biblical. To make it look like one, they ignore the covenants of the Bible and replace it manufactured beliefs. Don’t get tied up with lies.
How to rightly divide.
2 Timothy 2:15
King James Version
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Church age(faith alone)
Galatians 2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Romans 4:5 - But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
1st rapture(pretribulation/before tribulation)
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1st judgment(judgment seat of Christ)-good or bad
2 Corinthians 5:10
King James Version
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15
King James Version
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
-----------------
Tribulation(works, not just faith)
John.2:22-26 kjv
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
2nd judgment (great white throne judgment)
Revelation.8:3-4
Kjv
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation 20:11-15 KJV
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
In conclusion
Jesus raptures the church and we meet in the clouds.
Tribulation saints endure to the end, dying for Christ’s witness, and rejecting the mark.
On top of that they are gathered out of the angels hands, after they have been killed
And then it’s the 2nd coming at the very very end
Each man his his own order
•Order of Raptures
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then [cometh] the end,
We leave when Christ comes for us, they endure to the end. It’s simple the more you read the more you learn. If you haven’t opened the Bible how do you expect to learn it, learn from others?
Doctrine of man, is doctrine of devils.
Man has a deceitful heart
Jeremiah 17:9-10

10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
@@LilPeeper420 There are major wholes to dispensational viewpoints (which most modern theologians have concluded is unbiblical). The Torah wasn't given to Goyim (Gentiles), it was given to Israel. Yet, you can be grafted into Israel in the present age still (faith). Further, you cannot believe in dual covenant theology (which dispensationalism requires) and believe Yeshua fulfilled ALL promises to Israel at the same time. This would create a contradiction of fallacy pertaining to the blessing due only to the Messiah.
And this contradiction would literally rob Yeshua of His glory! In essence, either you believe we are new creations in Yeshua, a holy united people, or you believe that Yeshua didn't quite get over the finish line, and there is still some work to be done on His part to fulfill His promise to Israel. There's so much more to write, but the conundrum of robbing Yeshua of His glory precludes the necessity to continue critiquing a theology originating from a little Irish girl's dream.
there was a word called Dispension, which mean to give, that was the original Dictionary meaning in Bible, Bible also says he dispensed his grace, but the word dispensationalism was made 100 years ago and teaches that god changes with the ages, he DELT with people different but gods original plan never changes
@@SpotterVideo I also noticed they teach there are the two Holy Spirits, one that distributes spiritual gifts (healing, miracles, etc.) to Jews and the other Holy Spirit available to Christians that just resides in them, but doesn't give them gifts, so poor Christians are at mercy of the Devil who "rapes" them back and forth and they should rejoice in their affliction because they already have a promise of an eternal life through their faith anyway. Such dispensational view makes Christian church totally invalid, like some powerless fool and the Devil laughs. Now, the sad thing is that what I state here is what we see manifest in real life, so I wonder if it isn't biblical, why does it manifest?

Clear, straightforward, and eminently clear that dispensationalism is wrong
Dispensationalism seems to highlight ethnic Israel more than it highlights the True Israel of God, the Lord Jesus Christ who has torn down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile and has unified all those who he has redeemed creating one new man as preordained by God and foretold by Sacred Scriptures.
Not really. It just seems to be that way because after the fiasco of 1600+ years of the gentiles aka the Age of Conscience, God began to move again and formed a nation that is ethnically distinct and gave His promises to them during the Age of Promise. They failed, spectacularly, and out of the gentiles and the Jews, God formed the Church, which is the focus in the present Dispensation, the Age of Grace. He will fulfil the promises He made to Abraham in the Millennial Kingdom, which is physically peopled by the Jews and gentiles, but ruled by the Church, who are kings and priests and are already in their glorified bodies and are able to travel dimensions. The Jews and the gentiles will also reign in a lesser capacity as hinted in the gospels, so essentially during the Millennial Kingdom, the Church, Israel, and the gentiles are going to reign with Christ for a thousand years. What a glorious era that will be!
@@sambee4927 Thank you for sharing your thoughts, my friend. But do kindly provide Scriptural basis for this so we can all carefully study it. Thank you, again.
The passage you are citing says that people who WERE Gentiles, are no longer called Gentiles. They are no longer foreigners and strangers to the promises of YHVH, but have become fellow citizens with the saints of YHVH.

Not according to Eph. 2: 14-22. This explains why Christ has only ONE BRIDE not two - THE CHURCH, made up of all who are in Christ. (Jews and Gentiles) No wonder the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews included Abel, Enoch, Noah, Job, and others, in its "Hall of Faith," though they were not ethnically Jews. However, they had the same faith as Abraham (Gal. 3: 7-9,). Indeed ever since it's by grace through faith! (Rom. 4: 10 - 13) Hallelujah!
Thank you for this very succinct but thorough explanation!
Absolutely perfect presentation! Thank you!😁
Thanks so much for you very clear explanation. Even as a novice, however, I can't help but question your commitment to "all things literal" when large passages of the bible are song (poetry) that focus on the heart and large portions are apocalyptic and by definition contain many symbols that are not meant to be taken literally. According to "all things literal" the pregnant woman and red dragon of Rev 12 will be a woman and a real dragon? Do I have that right?
Hello. I just have a comment that helped me. Let the Bible interpret itself either in the passages before or after (context), or in the same book (near text) or remote text (found in another part of the Bible-in another book. A word search sometimes helps). Discern what is 'Like and As' when scripture describes it like that, as in Revelation. We know when John says 'Behold the Lamb of God', Jesus isn't a 4 legged animal but a picture/type. When the literal sense makes sense, give it no other sense. Most of Psalms is prophetic scripture that will be fulfilled in the future. A lot of prophetic Scripture also has duel fulfillment. It has happened in the past but will also be fulfilled in the future. 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. 🙂
@jennifercrawford7129 this is very helpful. Thank you for sharing!🙏🏼
@@jennifercrawford7129 Dual fulfillment? In Matthew 24:2 Jesus is answering the question of when the stones of Herod's temple would be torn down, and in 24:21 He says that this would be accomplished during the Great Tribulation by the Roman soldiers:
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies then recognize that her desolation is at hand" (Luke 21:20). We know in hindsight that that happened in 70 a.d. right after the Christian Jews fled from the city. In Mt 24:21 Jesus said that THAT was the "great tribulation" and that there would never be a worse tribulation in the future. So if you believe the words of Jesus there cannot be a dual fulfillment of the 70 a.d. great tribulation. It boils down to this: Do you believe the words of Jesus or the words of Cyrus Scofield, the founder of dispensationalism?
@@jennifercrawford7129 Can you show me anywhere in the New Testament where the apostles declare that an OT prophecy was fulfilled once in Christ and then there will be a second ("dual") fulfillment at a later time? Anywhere?
I wonder if the guy in the video would believe the Lords supper is truly Jesus' body and blood lol, since Jesus said it was.
If the word "dispensation" refers to a period of time, when is the time period of God as mentioned in Colossians 1:25. The passage states, "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;" The passage parallels Ephesians 3:2, which reads, "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:" Is the dispensation of grace limited to the church age? Noah found grace in the OT.
Could it be that the word "dispensation" refers a dispensing of something like a covenant? A paper towel dispenser dispenses paper towels. The covenants would be a better method of understanding the dispensing of the selected covenant. The church or Gentiles are strangers to the covenants. What think ye?
The word dispensation could also mean stewardship. It has nothing to do with a period of time. Does this help you?
I have listened to talks with dispensationalists and covenant theologians. They seem to be saying the same things almost. The covenant theologians also believe in different covenants that God made with His people, like different dispensations. The major difference comes when the covenant is seen to apply only to the church and all future promises made distinctly to Israel are then interpreted as being spiritual and for the church.
As John MacArthur says, Israel gets all the curses and none of the blessings. Israel was always going to reject messiah the first time, it’s the only way our sins could be paid. Even the proto-evangelion in Genesis 3:15 shows that Christ was always doing to die and the rejection of Israel was always on the plan. They’ve not been replaced because of the nation of Jews rejecting Christ.
So did Christ only die for the sins of the Israelites or everyone? It's not replacement, it's still the everlasting covenant that was promised to Abraham. Israelites just aren't separated anymore.
I would push back slightly on subjective private interpretation caused by not taking a literal approach. Whether you believe the fall was caused through Adam and Eve eating literal fruit tempted by an actual reptile or you believe the fruit was sin in general and Satan was speaking as Satan does today but metaphorically described as a snake, you still have to deal with the same conclusion. Literalism and mytho-history bring us to the same places, same realities, same principles.
For example, if someone believed Jonah was an allegory pointing to Christ rather than a literal historical figure (based on Nineveh, timelines and populations), it doesn’t steal from what Jonah ultimately points to. Christ resurrecting.
I don’t take this view of Jonah but have friends who do, and ultimately we still come to the same conclusions.
Just some thoughts. Great video!
Hi. Have you listened to Abner Chou’s lectures on christocentric hermeneutics? Not every passage in scripture is to be taken as an allegory for Christ. Yes, there are types, like Jonah but we read the scriptures as the authors intended their writings to be read.
The reason I say this is that although the example of Jonah is good there are other ones that lead to replace,ent theology and applying all scriptures about Israel onto the church.
No one knows what the serpent was. Remember, God cursed the serpent after the fall and made it what it is today. Some have suggested that it was an upright being with legs. Even an intellect, though not human. “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.”
@@emknight72 It's also important to note that the Hebrew word for "snake" or "serpent" had two connotations; one being 'deceiver' and the other being 'shining' or 'shining one'. There is a fascinating lesson from a well-respected ancient Hebrew scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser
This theology was invented by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s. It is a man-made doctrine taught nowhere in church history prior.
It wasn't invented by Darby. He just gets credit because his message and writings are documented and can be pointed at.

This is not strictly true. There were a few Jesuits who taught a proto version of this doctrine in the 1500's, but it didn't become popular until Darby.
The only way to understand what appears to be a contradiction in the word of God because there (are none) is to understand dispensationalism, Like I’ve told other who doubt find out why apostle Paul uses the word in the New Testament and the context behind it brothers and sisters.. let the Lord lead you, God bless you all in Christ.
I had been teaching the 7 dispensations and with it the past, present and the future of God's people became clearer than before. It even gives a clear understanding of what will transpire from the rapture to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ while the world is subjected to the 7 years of Tribulation. The series of events and their occurrences appears very clear and while one studies it the whole scenario looks like a view of the valley from the mountaintop. Thank you so much for the confirmation Got Questions.
I respectfully disagree, everything that most people agree about regarding dispensationalism is simply because that’s what they have been taught, not because they actually read the Bible.
Can you cite Scripture to support the various dispensations?
This doctrine has a purpose and it is to try to diminish the person and power of Christ to save the whole world. Be careful with doctrines that undermine the person of Jesus as God, even the God of the Old Testament too.
@@michaelseay9783well I must be a "fluke" and/or "rarity" (to you at least) because I was a " dispensationalist" BEFORE I had ever even heard the term or was introduced to the "idea" of "dispensationalism" because I READ MY BIBLE. At the very least because God has a COMMANDMENT to do so;
2 Timothy 2:15
"STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the WORD of TRUTH."
("Fun" fact: the ONLY verse in the entire Bible that says to STUDY the Bible is found ONLY in the KJV Bible)
I was also "KJV only" before I knew "KJV only" was an actual thing; because not only did no other translation (per-version) sound right to me, it was and IS blatantly obvious that all other translations were corrupted by the "god of this world" whether the translators knew they were doing his work or not.
I've attended at least 12 churches in my life over the last approx 15 years & NONE of them besides the one God led me to 2 years ago and still attend today, is a church that actually preached the Bible as I had always understood it and read it.
I can't imagine reading a Bible not believing it is the PERFECTLY PRESERVED WORD OF GOD that I can TRUST every word in it, not being up for my own interpretation or needing to "go to the Greek/the original manuscripts"
2 Peter 1:20
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation"
Which to be clear, I simply read the (AV/KJV) Bible exactly as it reads😮🤯💥! Comparing Scripture with Scripture because Crazy, I know.
anyways I'm literally about to go fly my drone hopefully pass out these new Bible tracts I just got in the mail today and then come home and get into my daily reading (in Ezra in my read through going from cover to cover) prayers I'm able to witness to someone, or God willing lead a soul to Christ.
Love you ALL my brother's and sister's in Christ I pray for discernment but even more so I just pray for the blessing of being reminded that there are still plenty of believers in Jesus Christ whether we agree on some doctrines (big or small) or not.

The word "dispensation" is in the Bible. Use it as a starting point. Then notice where it says "but God", "but now", and follow the pattern. The doctrine of the Church the Body of Christ is written in Paul's epistles, the 12 Apostles spoke of an earthly hope, Paul, the Apostle to the gentiles, spoke of a heavenly hope for the Church. Salvation by grace, not by works, not by the Law. Yup, dispensations makes lots of sense. Thank you Lord!!
Hi, I like the name of this channel! I've always been taught, and am still convinced of, the dispensational view. However, in all that time I have rarely heard the thing about seven dispensations and don't think it is helpful. And I would avoid the term "two peoples of God" because, again, it's better simply to talk about Israel and the Church, as the Bible does. People of other persuasions often jump on cliché phrases such as these and then dismiss the whole understanding. Maybe these phrases form part of the debate in the USA, but in the UK I've hardly heard these terms; they grate with me, even though I am firmly persuaded by the viewpoint. You rightly say the real issue is literalism, including with prophecy. It once dawned on me that, if prophecy can be fulfilled "spiritually" or non-literally, then we'd have no idea when it had ever been fulfilled; and one reason God gave it is to prove to us that He is God, who knows the end from the beginning. It seems so obvious that it must be clear and precise, and that God's intention is to communicate clearly and reveal who He is.

@@deborahbraman4667 sister, but don't you think that he should also answer whether it's biblical and use scripture because he said he would use. It's good to summarize but the problem is he did not deliver what he said he would. I think we should always stand on our words.
The answer is no
This was helpful.
When does Matthew 21:43 happen then?
Dispensationalism is unbiblical in several ways. The first is that Dispensationalism created man-made time periods that simply don't exist in the Bible. Second is that Israel and the Christian church are not two separate churches. We have all been grafted onto the same family olive tree. We are all spiritual Israel and all from the seed of Abraham.
Dispensationalism has only been taught in the last 120 years or so. It is a newer philosophy.
220 yrs...but yes.
It is not unbiblical. There are different time periods in the Bible. None are man made,everyone of them have scriptures dedicated to proving that one time period,the Bible quote literally says so. And you just disproved your own point: Israel and the Christian church are NOT two sewerage churches,but we are the same family olive tree? That means Dispensationalism agrees with you,and yes they are two different people. And there are different time periods focusing on those people. Abraham’s sees was the tribes,and nations. Not spiritual,however I say that only to my knowledge because I haven’t seen any scripture saying that all Christina’s and Israelites are spiritually of Abraham
Great explaination. Well done.
Some say dispensationalism is heresy. I disagree. “Idiocy” describes it better.
The problem with the "literal" point he brings up is that it seems to ignore the incorporation of exegesis, which might affect interpretation in a less than literal manner.
Keep in mind that this idea came about in a time when 7th Day Adventists, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism, Finnleyism and other heresies were created. I’ll take the historical view of Post-Millenialism instead.
Agree, without Darby and Scofield we arent even having this conversation. 1800 if Christian history had NO conception of the "Rapture." Uts no wonder paganism has overrun Christendom when Christians are all waiting for the fire escape.
Robert breaker explains dispensations really well. I highly recommend him to watch
Breaker is a Ruckman hyper dispensationalism teacher. They teach the faith/works in other dispensations unto salvation heresy.
@@gregorylatta8159 his teachings make the most sense to me personally. I’m open to learning everything I can. I’ve just Recently been saved so I’m still learning as much as possible.
@@gregorylatta8159They believed that faith plus works applied to the Old Testament and to the upcoming Tribulation Period. In today’s dispensation of the grace of God, salvation is by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. No heresy at all.
His Pre Trib rapture theory is unbiblical and unfounded in any scripture. The church will endure tribulation to the end of time. That's the second coming of our Lord Jesus in all Power and Glory. There's no other coming except for the deception of Satan.
Get John Reisinger's book "The Four Seeds of Abraham." He shows the fallacy of Dispensationalism and Traditional Covenant Theology. It is a much sought after book!
Do dispensationalist believe the 7 churches in Rev also refer to church ages?
Usually I find that Got questions has very solid teaching. Here however you explain dispensationalism twice... without once showing where we should find this doctrine in scripture. So I am left with only the two dispensationalist distinctives - I believe, yes, we should interpret scripture using the historical literal grammatical method. However, I do not see where a distinction should be drawn between the peoples of God - We are one church, as described by Paul in Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." which to me seems to refute the idea entirely
You can see this is truth because it's how scripture is set out, how history as been set out our present time and future to come, Israel and the Church. It's like taking a bird's eye view on human past present and future. It's nothing to be arguing about. . 🙄
It's a heresy so there's plenty here to argue about.
It's so good to know that Jesus is literally a lamb with seven horns and seven eyes! All this time I thought he was a man . . . silly me!
Dispensationalism is gaining steam again on a comeback. Good explanation!
Doctrines of demons become much more commonplace the closer we get to the end
@@narrowistheway77 Yawn....
The only thing I have heard of is dispensationalism until I asked questions why it doesn’t line up with NT teachings. Can you show me some spots that show dispensational theology?
@@narrowistheway77 Be careful, demon is also a new common word as the word devil was always used before. I do see that demon probably comes from the Greek but why change it? Your thoughts?
@@John14Verse6 Dispensationalism is a total lie and deception of Satan. Dispensationalism relies on Daniel 9:24-27, in particular Vs 26 and 27, being about a future antichrist when in fact all of Daniel 9:24-27 is about Jesus Christ and was fulfilled by Christ in the first century. Satan is a master at making people fall into the trap of thinking that most of the Bible was written about them in their present and future condition. While it is true that all of scripture provides us with knowledge of the one truth and scripture interprets scripture, the fact is that most of scripture is not about us and our future. Most of scripture is fulfilled in our current day. The greatest deception of Satan is the propagation of the man made geopolitical nation of Israel which we are taught is a huge part of eschatology/end times prophecy when in reality the modern day geopolitical nation of Israel has nothing to do with end times prophecy other than just being another Godless nation full of unrepentant sinners and loaded with iniquity and evil. Jesus Christ ended the Jewish age when He died on the cross, ended it permanently. Jews are now no different than anyone else, either they accept Jesus Christ as the one true King, or they are headed to the lake of fire. Jews don't have any special deal waiting for them. Dispensationalists count the false notion that the "Church" is special now, gets called off of the earth when the times get tough, and then God has a separate plan for Jews. Just think about how counter to what Christ Himself taught - there is not two plans of salvation, there is one.....Him. Period. Think about how ridiculous it is that Christ's saints would be called off the earth during the most important time to stand up for Him. He told us over and over to be prepared to die for His namesake.
THEY NEED TO DIVIDE
What is the difference between historical premillenialism and dispensationalism?
@royal priest thank you
“Literally” until the Lord’s Supper is mentioned.
Excellent explanation of why Dispensationalism, and NOT Calvinism (under the euphemisms of "Doctrines of Grace," Covenant Theology" and "Reformed"), is what the Bible teaches.
Amen, 2Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Let’s see Dispensational was taught by the early Church while reformed is a new teaching
And yet they say it's exactly the opposite, citing Darby. Always Darby. They don't seem to know that Irenaeus, Tertullian, St. Augustin and others in the first five centuries talked about different dispensations.
Please look into this, you have that incorrect brother , this is a new “ theory “ and it has a lot of error, a lot.
It's amazing to me how a word that only appears four time, and only in Paul's epistles, and only referring to his own ministry; can be so perverted.
The scriptures- referring to the Jews and Gentiles- say that now there's no difference. See Romans and Ephesians for examples.
In Christ there is no difference. Outside of Christ there definitely is.
You forgot Galatians 3. The entire chapter. Especially the last 4 verses.
That’s so true
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE NOW, BUT BEFORE THIS DISPENSATION OF GRACE THERE WAS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. GENTILE WOMAN WANTED HELP FROM JESUS BUT HE DIDNT WANT TO HELP HER AT FIRST? WHY? BECAUSE. HE CAME FOR ISRAEL AND NOT GENTILES. READ THESE VERSES WITH UNDERSTANDING. HE ACCEPTED TO HELP HER ONLY WHEN SHE ACCEPTED JEWS AS SUPERIOR TO HER BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY GENTILES COULD RECEIVE BLESSINGS THAT WERE INTENDED FOR JEWS AS IT WAS PROPHECIED ALL OVER OLD TESTAMENT.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Amen 🙏🏻
Great concise summary of Dispensational perspective. Yes, it IS Biblical.
Which version? The sectarianism and infighting among the early adherents was so bitter that even Spurgeon was known to comment about their lack of charity or Christian love. Thus the “exclusive brethren” known most for schism and severity, among whom was of course j.n. Darby and interestingly Aleister Crowley’s father was a devout preacher in the movement.
The theory of dispensationlism is less than 200 years old.
@@J.J.-hz5fvThis is the most common objection. Problem is it's just not true. Check out a book called The End-Times by the Ancient Church Fathers written by Ken Johnson. He compiles quotes by Christian scholars from as early as the 1st and 2nd century that would be considered dispensationalist.
This is so true, you have to only read the Bible to see that this is right. So many haters, don't listen to them. Just read the Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit to teach you and not your own intellect and He will give understanding 😄
Amen 🙏 in Jesus name🙏
How do you know when it's the Holy Spirit that is doing it?
@@heir_to_the_promise
He gives us understanding to what is written there, He leads us into all truth.
@@taralanger9279 How do you know it’s Him and not you understanding it the way you were taught? That is the difference between subjective and objective reading. It can’t be based on how we feel about it.
When I was first saved, I knew everything in the Bible based on what I had been taught. That’s subjective. But when I started reading with a clear head, it started to make sense. We don’t have to try and spiritualize it. It’s written down right in front of our eyes.
Yep, it is Biblical.
If this is the correct way to interpret scriptute, then why did it take 1800 years to interpret it this way?
Because the devil lies.
It didn't, you need to study up in history.
Catholicism and other denominations fell away from it with replacement theology.
The early church fathers (post apocalyptic father's) taught dispensationalism. Ana-Baptist and a few other denominations still taught dispensationalism.
@christsavesreadromans1096 I have three books all on the early church fathers. I have read two of them, therefore I know that I am not lieing.
@christsavesreadromans1096I was told that exact thing by a dispensationalist when, I said “Jesus said, ‘It’s hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.’” He said, “Jesus, said that to an unbelieving Jew, before the resurrection.” I had no idea until that conversation that dispensationalists hold Jesus’ words as lesser than Paul’s. I was shocked!
Is Israelites and Jews different?
The Jews come from Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel. Many cases in the OT where God separated Judah from Israel (my ot history is very rusty) as a separate nation.
It is the accepted belief that the Jews are all that remain of the 12 tribes due to interracial breeding of the other tribes.
Faith alone, there's your problem.
No1 Take a hermeneutics class
No2 read Ephesians 10times until you realize that Christian gentiles an Christian Jew's are ONE in Christ.
It's so strainious to get ideas of the last century out of people's mind. . .
So if we are to take everything in the Bible literally, then God is a bird because he longs to gather us under his wings, and the devil is a dragon in revelation. This is ludicrous. He ignores the fact that there are different genres in the Bible that communicate truth, but not all are to be taken literally.
So the Apostles were wrong in Acts 15 for not taking Moses literally that circumcision was, "an everlasting covenant." (Genesis 17:13) To bad the Apostles didn't understand dispensationalism.
A literal interpretation does consider genre. When someone says they take a literal approach to scripture it doesn’t mean they ignore metaphors or allegory. Quite the contrary. But every metaphor has a literal meaning it is trying to convey. For example the dragon you mentioned represents a real being, the devil, not just some random thing or idea that we can interpret however we want. The opposite of a literal approach is to make metaphors or allegories where there are none or saying that Revelation just represents the struggle of good vs. evil and doesn’t actually have literal events or people in mind.
Are there reversible circumcisions?
Don’t forget Revelations 2:9
Not everything is to be taken literally,but in general it’s the best way to see
There were some things that were guaranteed on condition of obedience and some things promised apart from any conditions. It seems to me that God formed Israel from the man Abraham as a means to the end, Christ. I am still trying to learn though
DISPENSATIONALISM TEACHES REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY
ARE YOU CONTRACTING?
I don't disect God's word. The Bible is entire. I don't select a portion and ASSUME that I am only meant to apply only a portion of it. We are told NOT TO ADD TO- NOR TAKE AWAY.
The idea that the Bible and it's meaning is a platform for man to pick apart and apply what fits us due to our time frame and to apply MANs theories of it as a whole to me, serves as so counterproductive and seperatist that it grieves the truth in that the Lord speaks to us through it.
Bith Paul and Jesus made reference to God's law in the old testament , NOT The add ons of pharisees.
Sadly, if it a seperatism and adds confusion- We should understand that God is NOT the author of confusion. God does NOT make mistakes and grace has been given mankind since day one of our existance. It is BY FAITH through grace in Christ Jesus that we are saved.
Bless us all Lord and show us the way to understand YOU not by words of men or scholars, science, or theorists- but by your Holy Spirit in the reading and continual prayer of what YOU provide for us daily.
In Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
The first principal of proper hermeneutics is approach and understanding the Bible literally. We should not go to a symbolic interpretation first. Let the Bible say what it says, first.
So then Jesus literally is "a lamb with seven horns and seven eyes" as Rev 5:6 says?
The problem with the Church today is that they have this rabid approach to scripture in which, not only are they Israel, but they are Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah, Peter, the 12, Paul and just about any verse is read like this. " Jesus said to ' us', the Bible tells ' us'. The Bible teaches, Peter said to ' us'". They are in every verse. They are in every narrative by the mere fact of being a human, or a disciple, or a worshipper. So any verse that simply distinguishes lost or saved this is all the verse has to include. The other rabid method is seeing one incident in scripture and concluding that it means ' always happens the same way at all times'. These ideas are introduced alarmingly at Sunday school level and by the time they are adults they don't know how to approach scripture without applying everything to them selves. All they have to do is find the verse and conclude that it's " in the Bible".
Did he answer his question? About it being biblical?
Reformed theology teaches that when God told Abraham he would make him the father of many nations and it would be an everlasting covenant that God didn’t really mean it but he was lying.
One of the things I think a lot of people miss is that God said he’d make a NATION. He didn’t create a new race of people. Just like the Western Europeans who settled America. A nation was created, not a race.
Not at all- we believe in the covenant of grace that was established then which is the same covenant we’re under now
All of God’s covenants are “everlasting” from his side of the table. God does not fail. 4:31 That does not prevent the other side from breaking it. In the the parable of the vineyard owner, Jesus laid it out clearly. The vineyard (speaking of Israel) has been given to others. The kingdom has been TAKEN from them, and given to a nation that produces the fruit thereof. I take Jesus’ pronouncements as the final word
But the Bible teaches that there is only one people of God. Israel! One flock, one Shepherd. Literally!
Dispensationalism teaches a pre-trib rapture, which the bible does not support. No where does it say we will be taken up secretly or silently or that we will be spared going through the time of tribulation (7 plagues). The Bible is clear that we must go through tribulation and persevere to the end in order to be saved.
So you are saying we must work to be saved. That is heresy
@@ズノ尺ムIf your faith isn't working then it's dead.
@@mountainmover777 but that doesn’t mean your soul is dead
@christsavesreadromans1096 no it doesn’t. You don’t know what you’re saying,salvation is dependent upon what YOU do,which it isn’t at all,no one gets saved by what they do. You make Jesus not important by that teaching
@christsavesreadromans1096 Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by Grace are ye saved through faith,and that not of yourselves,it is the gift of God,not of works lest any man should boast. Here Paul says you are saved only by faith you are saved,in the verse you pointed out it wasn’t talking about salvation. By the way,at the end of 1 Corinthians 13,he says that charity(in the KJV) is the most important. But he also mentions faith and hope. He says “the greatest of these three is charity.” So clearly Paul isn’t talking about salvation at all on that chapter,he’s talking about something different. You just don’t see it. And the in 1 Corinthians 14,the very next chapter he says “Follow after charity,and desire after spiritual gifts,…” so he wasn’t talking about being saved,he was talking about spiritual gifts.
Dispensationalism is what happens when regular people are finally blessed with the scripture free from the tyranny of the traditional church and they open up to the prophets and find that the blessing for our stael in no wY fit the church
While he tries to take on a lot of hard topics, this guy does not know how to teach a point of theology without just explaining what it is and where it comes from without giving his opinion on it's Biblical truth (or lack there of) throughout the explanation. As a good teacher of the Bible and theology you need to be able to help people understand the basic facts (non disputable) before you get to the "is it biblical" (very disputable).
I know for certain dispensationalism is new and it's false. 1830 is the beginning.
There were others before 1830's. But the early 1800's is when it seemed to explode.
(Pierre Poiret, John Edwards, Isaac Watts, Alexander Campbell, then Darby + all the other heretics that followed)
As I listen to dispensationalists defend their position, often times the conversation ends up with them saying, "Well, if we are wrong, this is not salvational anyways so we are in good shape." Wow, that could not be more wrong. Dispensationalists are not saved because their system of belief is actually denying what Jesus Christ did on the cross. They are denying that Jesus is the True Israel and that He died to make everyone ONE body! Dispensationalism is not just a "little" wrong about Jesus Christ, it misses the whole point of Jesus Christ being True Israel. Believing in a rapture of the Church so another plan can play out for national Israel is saying that Jesus Christ did not fulfill the covenant promises - denying Him on the cross! Dispensationalism is a very serious and very deadly system of beliefs, it is not just "slightly" off of the truth.
You think your interpretation of “what it says” is the same as mine? How about the more than 700 different languages it has been translated to. If it’s a rapture you’re subscribing to, you’re missing the point. Love is the fulfillment of the law.
false doctrine that is running rampant in the Church, there is ONE dispensation (a Dispensing) God's "GOSPEL of GRACE" on fallen man through JESUS CHRIST prophesied in the O.T. fulfilled in the N.T.
(Ephesians 3:2-5) "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: {3} How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, {4} Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) {5} Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ALSO Col 1:20-29,
Would love to debate you Sir but doubt you will
Paul wrote Ephesians. All the Ephesians (all they in Asia) turned away from Paul (per Paul's epistle). Furthermore Paul was forbidden tp preach the word in Asia, and the Ephesians were in Ephesus, which was the Roman capital city of Asia Minor. All the candles stick Churches of Revelation were in Asia Minor and (per Acts 16:6) Paul was forbidden to preach the word there.
@@KeepingWatch95 Not sure what this has to do with the dispensation of Grace being the one and ONLY Gospel, but will respond, Paul clearly visited Ephesus "in Asia" twice and as it is yet true Act 16:6 was for forbidden to preach the Gospel in Asia yet in Act 18:1-6 while in Corinth is released to Ephesus to preach the Gospel ( Act 19:1,2,17,26, ) Paul was NOT preaching a different Gospel to the Ephesians "Asians",
also the epistle to the Ephesians nowhere says that "they turned" from him, and in Rev 2 they are being "warned" to do the "first" works "or else"
(Revelation 2:4-5) "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. {5} Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."
maybe you could explain, just don't know what this has to do with ONE dispensation of the Gospel of Grace throughout human history
