Christian theology, in maintaining that the God who created and sustains the world is the same God who “so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16), requires both perspectives, the vertical and the horizontal. The glory of God as manifested in biblical history is most fundamental in that this precedes and is presupposed by specifically redemptive history, while the history of salvation is most fundamental in that it involves a deeper and more intimate relation of Creator to creation (culminating in the Incarnation and Passion) than that given in creation as such.
The Dispensationlist view lacks the narrative unity of revelation - as ONE path that the ONE God
The fatal flaw in dispensationalism is the belief in the one thousand years of EARTHLY reign of Christ - this contradicts Jesus' own statements
Jesus' kingdom started in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem
There is no Biblical evidence for seven dispensations from God to men. At most there are two: before and after Jesus’ resurrection.

The fatal flaw is that they are FUTURISTS, and as futurists they deny every Protestant Reformer belief and teaching, as does the Catholic Church. Conversely, the Reformers were HISTORICISTS. They clearly identified the Papacy as the Antichrist power, because that’s what prophecy and history clearly show. Those who cannot identify the Antichrist power will more than likely be fooled into taking the Mark of the Beast, if they are alive at that time. Ironically enough, it was the Papacy that came up with Futurism and Preterism, in an attempt to deflect criticism by the Reformers, that the Papacy was the Antichrist power. In fact, in the 1500’s, the Catholic church strictly forbade anyone from publishing a book on the Antichrist or preaching on the same. After copies of the bible became more available, those reading prophecy clearly saw the Papacy as the Antichrist power. Not a doubt in their minds. Many were tortured and murdered because of it. The Catholic church was clearly responsible for it.
The Antichrist power comes out of Pagan ROME, and lasts until the second coming of Christ. That is absolutely clear from bible prophecy. Dispensationalists deny it and therefore will never be able to see the truth.
