Unless the Bible is viewed in dispensational segments that truth is almost impossible to glean from the prophecies.


I believe Gods laws are written in the hearts and minds of Gods people which would be God in us, and Paul says that our body ( that is the believers Body )is the temple of the holy spirit.

But I am not familiar with what dispensational segments are as I only read the Bible and no sarcasms intended but that is all I am interested in.

A covenant is a dispensation. A new Covenant is a new dispensation. A dispensation is defined by the hallmarks of how, in what interactions, God is relating with, dealing with man. In the very beginning of Paul's letter to the Romans, Paul defines several dispensations, starting with how the creation itself witnesses that God is. That is the pre-flood dispensation. The giving of the Law is another dispensation. Christ sacrificed for us and His blood spread upon the Mercy over the laws of Moses is yet another dispensation. The way God pours out His wrath during the Tribulation is another dispensation. And the 1000 years Millennium is another dispensation. Dispensationalism is a way to organize our studies of Scripture and relate them to our hearts and minds. Without a clear organizing principle, such errors as applying the Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 passages given to detail the Tribulation are wrongly taken to refute the Rapture of the Bride of Christ, which happens before the wrath of God begins in the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy in Daniel 9. Dispensational reasoning allows us to see that the sixty-ninth week has been suspended, as if a pause occurs between week sixty-nine and the seventieth. This pause is the before 'mystery' of the Church. This pause has been a dispensation of Grace during which the Church, the true Church not the Catholic or Methodist or Baptist or Mormon church has come into being. This dispensation will end with the taking out of the Church as revealed in 1Thess4:13-18, 2Thess 2:3, 1Cor 15:51-53, and introduced by Jesus in Matthew 14:1-3. When Paul says 'behold I show you a mystery, he is hallmarking an aspect of this particular Church Age dispensation.
