A lot of concepts, and traditions, in the church, or Christianity at large, are made out to be more complicated than they really are in a rather successful attempt to withhold power, and knowledge of the Bible, from the common man. Ring any bells? This is a very old tactic used all the way back to the earliest Roman Catholic Church. (Many professions do this as well; medical, mechanical, pharmaceutical, etc.)
Dispensationalism is, in layman's terms, simply the idea/belief that God will 'dispense' specific promises to two different parties at the end of time. The church, or all saved and baptized believers in Christ and God's Word, and the physical nation of Israel.
Is that your basic understanding?
It is very important for Christians to understand this concept because it is what is taught in 99.9% of churches today and less than half of the congregation understand what is being taught, or discussed, when it is presented.
And Amillennialism is the belief that there will be no Millennium time period after Christ's return (Rev. 20) for specific reasons.
I wish some would discuss this topic because it is very important for Christians to understand and/or become familiar with contemplating.
Your understanding of dispensationalism is wrong. And yes Amillenialism does not believe Jesus will establish a physical kingdom on earth upon His return but move right into eternity ( at least the super majority of amills.) This is not biblical but an allegorical reinterpretation of Scripture.
