The following link is long but helpful in understanding the Dispensational view and the Rapture Theology so prevalent in many evangelical circles today... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opin...S&cvid=a93d691e062148d989f338a2d26da5bb&ei=23
I'm not endorsing religionforbreakfast--just think they did a more than adequate job explaining a lot of the background. This is strictly fyi...
I'm not Dispensationalist, but go to a Dispensationalist church in a Dispensationalist denomination. The people in my church know I'm a "Postribber," which may be why they do not invite me to teach or to share.
Former pastors have inquired and expressed a wish to meet to discuss this, but reneged over and over again. Our current pastor, for whatever reason, has ended Bible studies.
We'll see where this leads--I've been only in Pretribulational/Dispensationalist churches since I left the Lutheran denomination I grew up in a long, long time ago. The headquarters of my denomination, the AoG, would not answer my letter questioning this belief--I do not wish this eschatology to make a test of orthodoxy within the denomination.
Such American notable leaders as Pat Robertson and Walter Martin were staunch Postribulationists, and rejected Dispensationalism. I think it is reasonable to question an eschatology that has prevailed more due to popular appeal, rather than to scholarly appeal, or to critical evaluation. You decide.
