Dispensationalism

Dispensationalism is a theological framework that interprets the Bible as divided into distinct periods or "dispensations," each representing a different way God interacts with humanity. It emphasizes a literal reading of Scripture, particularly prophecy, and often views future events like the Rapture and Christ's millennial reign as specific, upcoming fulfillments. This perspective highlights God's evolving relationship with people across different eras, focusing on God's promises to Israel and the Church as separate entities. Overall, it seeks to understand God's plan for history through clear, chronological divisions in biblical history.
