Thinking in Public with Albert Mohler

NOTE

Some aspects of the dispensational system

Dispensationalism is a complex system that divides history into distinct dispensations, each with its own unique characteristics. The current dispensation is the church age, where God works through the church and introduces new rules. The system also includes eschatology, focusing on the events between the sixth and seventh dispensations, such as the imminent rapture and the millennial kingdom. Additionally, there is a hermeneutic shift towards a literal reading of the Bible. Dispensationalists have a high view of the Bible's inerrancy and play a significant role in shaping the interpretation of prophetic and apocalyptic books. This system is not without controversy, including debates about salvation and other doctrinal issues.
