In the nineteenth century a theological revolution called “Dispensationalism” rightly outlined the “Biblical Historical Perspective”, thereby giving mankind a clearer picture of how God has provided and continues to provide salvation to man throughout history. By acknowledgement of this perspective, an accord between Hebrew Old Covenant and New Covenant prophecy was forged, sweeping away many of the contradictions that divided Christian and Orthodox Jewish prophetic viewpoints. Dispensationalists became God’s instrument of change in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries...

I don’t buy this. When I read “change” here, Obama comes to mind.

Sasportas,

Dispensational thought has brought much change to the world we live in today. Dispensational reformists have supported Zionism in the last century. Prior to WWII, the Balfour Declaration was responsible for opening up Jewish immigration back to Palestine to establish a permanent Jewish homeland.

President Harry S Truman, a Baptist who also believed in the prophetic promises given to Israel, supported the establishment of the state of Israel in 1947.

So you see, Dispensationalsim has caused much change in the world that we know today.

Whether Obama will support such change in the future is a question we all would like to know. His choice of Samantha Power to his national security advisory staff may allude to his anti-Israel leanings, or it may not.
