Same thing happened when Jesus would not want to be their earthly king, all the crowd shouting crucify Him. The crowd is still around today, and they think they are doing the right thing.

I believe in dispensations...
dispensation =
1. the act of dispensing (giving out in portions).
2. a share that has been dispensed or distributed.
3. an exemption from some rule or obligation.
I believe in dispensations of time.. the time before the flood and the time before the cross and the time we live in today. God has been dispensing His grace to all people in all times..
But the way it is used today as a theological teaching I do not agree with.
Dispensationalism teaches .....
1. The dividing human history into distinct "eras" or "dispensations".
Often into 7 ears
2. Throughout these periods, God administers His relationship with humanity in different ways.
3. The Literal Interpretation of scripture. If the Old Testament makes a promise to national Israel, dispensationalists believe it will be fulfilled exactly as written to national Israel, rather than being "spiritualized" and applied to the Church.
4. A Strict Distinction Between Israel and the Church. A fundamental tenet of dispensationalism is that God’s plan for ethnic Israel and God’s plan for the Christian Church are two separate things. They reject "replacement theology".
5.... Because of its framework, dispensationalism is highly associated with premillennialism—the belief that the Church will be caught up to heaven in the "rapture" before a literal seven-year "Tribulation," which is then followed by the literal Second Coming of Jesus to establish His earthly kingdom.
The beliefs would vary between people but I do not agree with the way this Theory has made God inconsistent and apply different standards for different people.
We are all saved the same way.
From Adam to the last days all are saved by Grace through faith. All are saved by Jesus.
Such eras, i.e. "dispensations" are just a method to study church history, while God's character remains the same, so is the whole biblical narrative; that doesn't mean some "dispensations” are applicable and revelant while others are not, therefore the associated sections in the bible are applicable and revelant while others are not, that's a grave error.
Also, pre-trib rapture is false teaching, rapture is POST trib, because the resurrection must precedes the rapture (1 Thess. 4:15-16), and the first resurrection of the church is post trib.
I would describe the dispensation of revelation as the time when souls only know genrev (Rom. 1:20, before the Flood), the time God revealed His will to Abraham through the Torah (Gen-Deut./B.C.), the time when God revealed Messiah and the Gospel (the NT until Judgment Day), and the time when God reveals who is right/saved (in heaven through eternity).
I agree that all sinners are saved via faith in God as revealed, which culminates with Christ.
he (devil) likes to be called God and many 'christians' do just that. he (devil) is the 'god of this world'. A world that comes to an end when the Lord returns. he wants to sit in the temple. Well, he isn't going to sit in this temple.
The Lord said this would happen.... It's mystery Babylon that gets 'double'
Isaiah 61
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Isaiah 65
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
All the enemy s temporary glory is all under God's big plan.
We as God's children, stay strong with God, and with God only.
It is not merely an early battle, but a spiritual battle.
Influence our local church, reject any false teaching.
To accept the lies of dispensationalism requires a lot of faith in men who were developing a false gospel. That is why so many posts on this chat reflect uncertainty on many points of prophecy. These confusing doctrines are not of God, rather they have another source.
[2Pe 1:20 KJV] 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
[2Co 11:3-4 KJV] 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
