Would you be so kind as to offer more of your thoughts? I certainly would like to read them, thanks.
I have a great many thoughts on this topic, but that's all they are, thoughts and ideas. I don't believe that it is possible to know the true history of our world, everything has been hidden or falsified, the best we can do is speculate.
I think, that we have been deceived. I know that I certainly was for many years. I grew up being taught and "believing" for lack of a better word, all of the dispensational heresies promoted in my Southern Baptist church. And then, I met Christ.
One of the first things revealed to me by the Spirit was the Rapture lie, which began my investigation into Dispensationalism.
I also discovered that the Lost Tribes were not lost at all as I had been taught, and that those claiming to be Israels descendants were actually imposters. Its not a popular view with Christian Zionists.
After a while, I came to the conclusion that Dispensational Theology was being used as a playbook to orchestrate a series of events that would mimic those which seemed to fulfill prophecy.
Later, within the last few years, I came to the conclusion that we are now living in the days known as Satan's Little Season. Another very unpopular view, and not just with the Dispensationalists. But that's fine, I'm not here to argue with anyone. And while I think what we believe about these issues is very important, I do not believe these issues directly affect salvation, so I don't get to hung up on it.
I have found throughout my 35 plus years of knowing Christ, that there is a direct correlation between obedience and revelation. When I walk in obedience and faith, I am enlightened. When I am walking in disobedience, spiritual darkness ensues.
Paul said that we should examine ourselves, frequently. I think its a lack of this self examination in the light of the scriptures, and a lack of humble prayer before God, that allows us to be caught up in these heresies.
In a nutshell, the Church is mostly in a place of darkness right now, just as was foretold, and for all the reasons given.
