What is dispensationalism and is it biblical? | GotQuestions.org 

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!

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.

@@pcjenkin 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.

@@AnathemaMysticalcel “Calvanistic”! 😂

Two natures of Israel.

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.

Have you prayed about it, sought God on Truth?

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! 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.

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.

I agree, and I think the bible does clearly point to dispensationalism. I do understand why people may disagree and feel it can be unclear. Regarding people going for the replacement theology I believe is very wrong and anti biblical

@@MicheMoffatt Can you at least give us a Scripture? My faith is the Word of God. "Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I TELL YOU THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN WAY FROM YOU and given to a people who will produce its fruit." Matthew 21:42-43. "In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you." Luke 22:20. "In speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." Hebrews 8:13. "Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant." Hebrews 9:15. "They will level you to the ground- you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION FROM THE LORD.” Luke 19:44.

Yeah, good observation. I am still on the fence about the "Got Questions" website.

Swear these false preachers couldn't tell you 5 verse from the bible.

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.

He said he was going to explain from a biblical perspective. He never said he was going to read the scriptures. Get it right!

@@colleenc236 he never quoted scripture or used scripture either.

No you didn't... cause they aren't there! 😆

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.

@@AgeDeo2009 it's not a question of who is being " highlighted" more it's a question of separate and distinct promises made to two distinct groups.

@@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!

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.

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?

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?

@@irreducibleBoogie A little late on this one. Go cry somewhere else

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

AMEN!

a lot of belief system are post-biblical. if they are from 2'nd or 3'rd or 19'th century is not the best criteria to reject or accept it. for example, trinity concept is post biblical, and is not valid (if it is) just because it is old.

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.

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

The word dispensation could also mean stewardship. It has nothing to do with a period of time. Does this help you?

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.

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

There is really no problem with this approach.

David o'steen from hope bible church explains it very good. Check out his channel

it doesn't make any sense, specifically because it's a false made-up teaching

So we will never know if it's biblical and if it's correct. Very disappointing

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.

The answer is no

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.

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

“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

Nothing surprises God. He is all knowing. He planned the dispensations, as He did everything else. (psalm 147:5) & Romans11:17 calls Gentiles “wild olive branches”. So although we are all one people in Jesus there are distinctions.

@@DavidReyes-qn1bq The revelation of Christ, which was foretold by God's prophets long ago, was the revealing of God's plan to man. The plan hasn't changed since day one. If by dispensation one means there's a first quarters, second, third, and fourth to the game, that is true. However, the game plan was always the same.

@jake shepherd. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

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 .

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.

(Ephesians1:1 _*_Paul, an apostle ... to the saints which are at Ephesus...)_* _Sometime later Paul writes 2 Timothy and declares “all they which are in Asia be turn away from [him]”... “no man stood with me”..._ 2 Timothy 1:15 *This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me;* of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 2 Timothy 4:16 *At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me:* I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. _After Paul's ministry (and after “all they in Asia be turned away from [Paul]”) in Revelation the first church Jesus instructs John to write is the church of Ephesus (the same church Paul had written to). However Jesus commends the church of Ephesus for “[trying] them which say they are apostles (apostle/messenger/he that is sent), and are not, and hast found them liars_ Revelation 2:1 *Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;* These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how *thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:*

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)

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

@@ズノ尺ムYeah it does. Faith without works does not justify.

@@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

Idk why he said only. Dispensationalism teaches that literally is the way to interpret some passages,and metaphorically/figuratively the way to interpret other passages.

You are clueless to the real meaning then

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.

@@thelighthouse1604No, that’s a blatant falsehood, we have the writings of the early church fathers and so we can see exactly what they taught. They certainly didn’t teach any Protestant theology or dispensationalism rather they were Catholics who believed in catholic theology.

@@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.

@@thelighthouse1604 Give me a single quote from any noteable early church father that suggested that christians don’t have to follow the commands of Jesus, which is what those who follow dispensationalism assert today.

Thank you for these scriptures, will help me research😊

@@janethiggins5794 You're welcome but thank the Lord Jesus Christ, who come in the flesh yet He is without sin for He is the one worthy and always ask Him for His truths and a love for them. Also recommend a good read; A Biblical Refutation of Dispensationalism Arthur W. Pink
