The above...one of the reasons many dismiss dispensationalism for replacement theology. The dispensational theologians do well (and I believe are accurate) then they come to the above portion and the "splain'in" begins or is glossed over. That's fine, because we have what is revealed and the "mission execution" is done by Jesus (Yeshua) and we should realize that fact:)
I think what we of this age need to remember is our charter. To watch and be ready and be found worthy when He comes for us. That is VERY clear in all the epistles and I might add was a MAJOR emphasis by Yeshua (Jesus).
It is for this very reason (the prophets) that I rejected the replacement theology of Calvinism, and later the dispensationalists too - albeit that the dispensationalists are close by. Unlike a school test, the answers are in the front of the Book, provided by the prophets : ) ... If one's eschatology can't 'add up' to the answer we already know, then another way must be found. Dispensationalism is good, in that it recognizes the prophets, and in that the power of YHWH - but without knowledge of the Holy Days, times and seasons, Jubilees, and the Torah generally, they work at a disadvantage.

There is truth, no doubt... but steel sharpens steel, eh? Isn't that how we get ready?
Yes, it will get clearer, albeit with more competition to test us, as the day draweth nearer.
