Just FYI for those who are unfamiliar with the Dispensationalist (earthly millennium, rapture-at-any-moment) interpretation of Scripture regarding the End Times discussed here: the majority of Christians today (and who have ever lived, for that matter) do not ascribe to it and, as was pointed out above, it was not developed until the early 19th century. It originated in England but is mostly held by many (not all) American evangelicals.

I'm not saying there is no truth in it or that nobody should consider it, only that it is important to know that this is not, as it is often presented, the only interpretation or position. As the majority of Christians in the world are either Catholic, Orthodox and other Eastern Churches who do not ascribe to modern Dispensationalism vastly outnumber the American influenced Evangelical Protestants and Protestant Fundamentalists that are the ones who primarily embrace modern Dispensationalism, it is important to point out that it doesn't represent the views of most Christians.
