The early dispensationalist recognized that the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 represented periods of time between Christ's ascension and his return. That’s a bogus interpretation of Revelation 2 and 3. There is nothing in the Bible to support the theory. It’s an example of dispensational allegorizing.
Watch Israel.
What exactly are we watching for? All I suspect is we’ll see her conversion en mass to faith in Jesus Christ prior to His coming.

There is nothing in the Bible that gives the meaning of the number “7,” but you can determine the meaning. It’s an allegory. The fact that there are 7 churches adds significance.

I, too, am looking for Israel’s conversion but not yet. Her blindness will last until the end of the times of the gentiles. Note here that blindness is another allegory. Consider Joseph from the book of Genesis. Joseph is a type of Christ. I know it does not say so in the Bible, but by observation, we can see the events in Genesis predict things that happen to Christ. Some are history some are still prophecy. All are significant.
Now I speculate. I believe we are in the years of plenty right now. There is an abundance of spiritual food
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
It’s possible the rapture could be part of what brings on a famine. What do you suppose the Jews are going to find when they go looking for food?
