Calm Ocean And A Roaring Hurricane 2

As fate would have it, the fate of my birth and up-bringing, I have a more than passing interest in both Covenant Theology and Dispensational Theology. This is my view of Dispensational Theology.

Revelations 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

Dispensational Theology is, of course, a theological framework based on dispensations or successive historical periods. And God administers each of these periods under different covenants. It is also based on special relationships between God and Hebrews and between God and Christians. And it is based on the Pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ.

My personal view is this: Dispensational Theology is a hurricane, roaring up the coast. This hurricane is filled with an incredible sense of movement, as it moves through the dispensations, through the ages, from Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to Jacob, to Moses, from God's Hebrew past to the Church, toward the rapture, the millennial kingdom, and our final judgement.  And only then, the hurricane finally comes to rest in heaven, our final peace with God. And everyone is part of this unfolding Bible truth, Christians, Jews, saints and the vilest of sinners.
