God does give different information to different people. One simple way to know are these incessant threads repeating the same foolishness over and over. Curious. Is that a joke, or do you really believe that, for example, God is teaching dispensationalism to dispensationalists and the opposite to Reformed people?

No it's not a joke. We are to grow in the Word, and there is only one way to do that, by reading and studying it. Plus the HS must reveal it to one studying. Levels of understanding and not different understandings. There is only one Truth. You don't get it by osmosis either.
Some people here that read Revelation think Jesus is going to appear as a half-god half ram. In a previous post I said one must understand the meaning of flocks in the bible, and the symbolic significance of oxen, donkeys and sheep. I understand something that they apparently do not. Now where did I get this understanding? I got it from reading the bible and not the first time, perhaps the 100th time

My two cents: He doesn't care about "our" labels and might even be amused by them. Like parables, prophesies hide Truth in plain view. More importantly, it is hidden for His purpose.
God will reveal what He wants to reveal to whomever He wills and at time(s) of His own choosing.

Welllllll,
God would, no doubt, be happy to teach dispensationalism to the Replacementarians if they’d merely open their ears, eyes, minds, biases to a more fair-minded approach to Scripture.
The Scriptures are pretty straightforward in most aspects of such prophecies.
