Dispensational preterism takes truths from both dispensationalism and preterism, discards the errors of both, and avoids the weakness and non-definative quality of the term partial preterism. It maintains that the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham are manifest in two distinct dispensations: the dispensation of the natural type containing the temporary shadows and patterns, and the dispensation of the spiritual antitype containing the eternal realities. God's adaptation to the sin and rebellion in the dispensation of the natural type that caused the children of Israel to become the natural kingdom of Israel, was a temporary parentheses until the inauguration of the time of eternal restoration at Pentecost, which continues to the end when the lord returns.
