You cannot call yourself a 'dispensationalist' if you think the church is going to go through the Tribulation, which is for the judgement of Israel.

I'm glad you recognize that, in the futurist dispensational scheme, the tribulation is for the "judgment of Israel."

Perhaps you can answer the question; for what is Israel being judged?

Walvoord wrote:

The purge of Israel in their time of trouble is described by Zechariah in these words: "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried" (Zechariah 13:8, 9). According to Zechariah's prophecy, two thirds of the children of Israel in the land will perish, but the one third that are left will be refined and be awaiting the deliverance of God at the second coming of Christ which is described in the next chapter of Zechariah.

Some of the dispensationalist thinkers here have been reluctant to answer that question.

They are being judged for rejecting their Messiah and killing him. (Lk.23:29-31).

Christ prayed for the Father to forgive them, and they were given a second chance.(Acts.3:19)

They again rejected God's appeal by the stoning of Stephen. (Acts.7)
