I believe that the church and ethnic Israel are separate entities being lunder divine covenants and that the church is not the new Israel. I also recognize that the Christian Right of the late 20th Century was largely led by dispensationalists like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. However, that movement largely focused on national politics and not rebuilding the culture from the bottom up. Had the energy spent in supporting the Bushes and various Republicans been spent in building Christian schools, alternatives to Scouting, and Christian colleges, we would be in a stronger position now.

I really don’t disagree with what you are saying.

But, there are-were two different kinds of dispensationalists in America:

(1) the politically active Pat Robertson-Jerry Falwell- James Dobson wing,

and the

(2) John MacArthur - Chafer wing. Bear in mind the MacArthur - Chafer wing are not internally on the same page as far as Lordship Salvation, but also neither thought political action should be the main focus.
They both agreed the focus is the gospel of Jesus Christ, for people to be saved from eternal hell by receiving through faith God’s free gift of Jesus’s payment for our sin.
