I cant stress this thread enough fellas, this is absolutely key to understanding and rightly dividing your Bible.

Without understanding basic dispensations you are going to be totally confused about entire books and entire sections of the Bible. And that includes many words and parables of Jesus as well.

People who reject the idea of basic dispensations, even so called scholars, are totally lost and unable to explain massive portions of the Bible because its inexplicable without this basic understanding. I have studied, discussed and debated this topic with countless people, so this is something I have a ton of experience with.

When people say they reject dispensations and you press them to explain what entire chapters and books like Ezekiel 36-39, 40-48, Zechariah 10-14, The book of Joel, the book of Zephaniah, Jeremiah 30-33, virtually the entire book of Isaiah and all the OT propehts are talking about concerning Israel and the future, they will all say "I don't know what it means, the only thing I do know is it doesn't mean what it says. And I don't want to talk about it anymore."

That is practically word for word what every person will say when pressed on this who rejects basic dispensations. Even though every single book of the Bible says the exact same thing about Israel in the latter days over and over again, they reject all of it and have no explanation as to what it means.

People who reject this, even ministers and scholars, just openly reject and ignore massive portions of the Bible. They won't teach from them, they won't talk about them, they won't discuss them at all. Why? Because they are totally inexplicable under their theology.
