I have major problems when people ridicule other Christians for honest disagreements over eschatology. You may not understand it, but please respect that people can and do differ in their reading of Revelation and the prophecy of the end times.

But just a few posts earlier you wrote:

How nice of him to take Scripture out of context and develop a premise that isn’t supportable by the Bible.

If people can honestly disagree over eschatology, who are you to say that he’s taking anything out of context? Best you can say is that he’s taking Scripture out of YOUR interpretation of the context.

You unfairly twist my words. Just because there is an honest disagreement regarding eschatology doesn’t mean you can’t ever be incorrect with interpretations of Scripture. Eschatology will continue to be debated until Jesus returns, what can’t be debated is that Jesus will come back to a world that is not perfected.

Mr. Mitchell (or whatever his name is) states the following regarding dispensationalists: “[They] can’t shake the unbiblical idea that we can’t win on earth.” It is his underlying premise that is unbiblical…we can’t win without Jesus.

Mr. Mitchell also says he believes “We will ultimately turn this world around.” This is also clearly unscriptural.

Mr. Mitchell seems to be giving way too much credit to the power of man to defeat Satan. Man left to his own devices will not prevail without the direct intervention of our Savior.

Mr. Mitchell also unfairly attributes a defeatist world view to dispensationalists. I have known many dispensationalists and none of them believe that the blood of Jesus isn’t enough to defeat the devil as this guy tries to portray. Mr. Mitchell is way too smug in his overstatements on this point and his own self assurances that he is correct on eschatological matters are bombastic and rude. I think Mr. Mitchell would do better to love his fellow Christians brothers rather than wallowing in ridicule of them for having different end times beliefs.
