Why did Jesus stop midsentence? If this was to be fulfilled in His life or in the early church? YOu mock my understanding of OT prophecy but I'm just trying to understand why Jesus did what He did. Nothing you said actually interacts with this.
You have a misunderstanding yourself if you believe that Western knowledge is entirely chronological while the Eastern (Semitic) mindset was non-chronological. There is no doubt that the prophets spoke with gaps in their prophecies. You believe in this yourself, so if you want to have an intelligent conversation, please do so. The Semitic mindset was oftentimes chronological and often topical. They had a psychological understanding of time and its progression.
Dispensationalism does not suppose a hidden meaning or knowledge like Gnosticism does. Stop caricaturing.

"But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." The question would be, to what is this referring? Does the NT ever quote this as being fulfilled? No. Yes, Jesus is on God's right hand, and He has a kingdom, but the context of Psalm 1 and 2 is God being God over the nations of earth. There is a heavenly dimension, we just disagree as to whether Jesus ruling the nations with a rod of iron is occurring now spiritually, or will occur in the future both physically and spiritually.
The gap theory of Dispensationalism is absolutely Gnosticism!
This was taught to you by men who have special knowledge that no one else can know.
You do not have ONE original thought in your;
Tim Lahay, Left Behind 21st Century, rapture of the Church!
The foundation was being laid out in the 60s; 70s; 80s; 90s;
I remember reading this garbage back in the 70s and was speechless!
People are ushered into this trance, with hook in nose and spoon in mouth;
You cannot question these Gnostic's books or movies;
Yet you do not have one original thought in this whole process!?
That fascinates me!
No matter if it's called, pre; mid; or post trib.
These evil men could not interpret most of these prophecies, in their rightful place with Jesus and Early Church.
So they create 7 yrs in the unknown future (there's your Gnosticism)! Their Gnostic Gap!
They roll all the prophecies of the New Testament together in these 7 yrs;
and they tell you a story of a 21 Century rapture.
I'm sorry the 18th; 19th and 20th Century Dispensationalist did this also!
You believe every word of it, and you will fight without regard for it.
BUT: You do not have one single thought in this whole process!
Either you read the books and movies,
family members told you, or heard of it somewhere,
or was taught in your churches by those who subscribed to these monsters.
I do not have anything against people who believe this, it was shoveled down my throat too!
My only point is: This was not taught to you out of the Word of God!
It was taught to you from books and movies.
If you do not Heave To, and claim some theory of this Gnostic Gap,
you will be shunned or cast out of your church.
Look at the hell you people raise, if someone questions you!!!
Brought to you by men who have created for themselves million and billion dollar industries.
So Dispensationalism does suppose a hidden knowledge, in it's Gnostic Gap!
many blessings
