a dispensation is a period of time.

I am attacking “dispensationalism”, which is a 19th century invention of men that opposes historical, orthodox Christianity.

probably Paul used that term first, but that term has nothing to do with “dispensationalism”, lol.

Correct it was Paul. However you have proved here not to know what is not scriptural about literal dispensationalism.

What exactly is not scriptural about a literal approach to prophetic scriptures? And who exactly is affirming that dispensationalism is doctrine?

Take the theoretical label of dispensationalism off for a moment and the stereotype of a sweating Alabama pastor in a blue polyester suit preaching it and what you get is an examination of Scriptures as revealed.

I am persuaded God will fulfill every promise made. And every promise will be fulfilled both spirituality and physically in Christ Jesus.

≥≥a dispensation is a period of time.<<

No it's not. (Gr. oikonomia, "management," "economy"). (1.) The method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation. God has changed the way He deals with man several times. Today we are i n the dispensation of grace as opposed to the dispensation of the law.
