Spot on Max, your articles are always a breath of fresh air. I’ll be discussing this as well for my article next week, there is so much confusion in the Body of Christ on this topic, and we can thank the Masonic conman Cyrus Scofield for the lion’s share of it.

Truly, it is hard to think of a more damaging doctrine within Church history than Dispensationalism. So much error and confusion has flowed downstream of this fetid tributary.

You're so right that Christian zionism gives 'Israel' a free pass for every atrocity they satanically commit. You said - 'Most modern-day churches teach that this is the Israel that the bible has prophesied that God will gather them back and make a nation out of it. This came from the 'dispensational doctrine' created by Darby and Scofield for the Zionists.' Well, yes and no. Unfortunately yes, many churches see the current 'nation' of 'Israel' as if it were that gathered by God and put in the land. But in fact, the British (the most evil nation on earth) put 'them' in the land. Not God. Yes. But they are basing the 'installation' of Israel in the land - on Scriptures that say God WILL restore Israel to the land. The hireling ministers are NOT interpreting the prophesy correctly; they're applying it to people who are NOT His. Though Jehovah still has a people called Israel. (as Paul pointed out in Romans 11). Though they're still scattered. They won't be gathered, till GOD gathers them.

Then, that the people waging war right now, are NOT the Israel of God, is clear because the Scripture says when HE gathers them, 'they will live in peace and safety'. This fiendish government of the false Israel, is explained in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. They are satanic, and their actions belie the fact.

I've been protected from some of the heresies, since I no longer go to 'church', (I 'heard' enough twisting of Scripture years ago) but I have not heard it taught that the Jews would be in charge during the 1000 year millennium rest. The Scriptures say the Lord himself will reign along with those who were martyred during the Great Tribulation; (Revelation 20: 4 &I 6)

Do you disagree with a "7 years tribulation"? I'm having a bit of difficulty disciphering what you are quoting as false, from what you are claiming as true in your last paragraphs.

Last point/question. (I don't know Darby or Scoffield,.. don't read their Bibles,) The King James Bible uses the word 'dispensation' where the Greek word 'Oikonomia' is used; Though Oikonomia refers to an 'administration', As Paul put it, 'a 'stewardship given to him', in order to carry out his mission. I think the best translation puts it as a 'stewardship'.

Some refer to 'dispensations' however, as in 'time frames in the Bible. Though I think the word is being misapplied, time frames in Scripture are very clearly delineated, even if they're not named. These include the period before the law was given, the period of the law, the period of grace that began simultaneous to the birth of the church, (which is no longer under the law), and the soon to come 'millennium rest'. Do you not see these 'periods of time' in Scripture?

(One of the most interesting truths about this 'Age of Grace' that we now live in, is that it is simultaneous with the 'Hour of Darkness', that began when Christ was arrested. I plan to write about that soon..)

The question to you, is, what is it about 'dispensations' do you object to?

I find your writings very interesting, and wish to make sure I understand what you are saying.

Godspeed, Victoria
