Dispensationalism existed as an understanding of the different eras in religious history. Justin Martyr clearly believed in a 1000 year reign of Christ on earth. He wrote in ca. 150 AD.

Besides that you have already agreed that Eden was a separate period in religious history.

You wish to argue doctrine, and I wish to look at the facts of what is an is not apparent in the Bible.

BTW, what would you call that period of time we know as Eden?

Martyr was a premillennialist, not a dispensationalist.

Again, Dispensationalism began with Darby in the 1830s. Never did any theologians before Darby teach that there were two peoples of God and two plans of salvation or a so-called “pre-tribulation rapture.” In fact, at the time Darby was considered a heretic.

Just a reminder to you that this question has repeatedly been posed to you. Would you mind answering it now?

You have already acknowledged that Eden did exist as a separate period. What do you call the phenomenon of "separate periods?"

Simple premilenialism does not a dispensationalist make.
