In an age of cultural shaking, global uncertainty, and spiritual awakening, many believers are trading in the spirit for a hopeful, empowering, prophetically correct lens to view their faith and the future.

Dispensationalism is a belief system originating with John Darby in 1850 that puts already fulfilled prophecy in the future (the restoration of Israel, rebuilding the temple, wars and rumors of wars, a tribulation, and a rapture). It is generally disempowering, causing believers to wait for escape rather than making disciples of all Nations.

This 1-minute interview is an awakening moment in history.

Stop and watch it, it prophetic! …and embarrassing!

A growing number of Christians are embracing a return to the Gospel of the  Kingdom grounded in victorious Eschatology, Sonship, Ascension, and Reformation of Nations. Here’s why the shift is happening—and where it’s leading. This spectrum helps explain the hunger for a framework that does more than predict disaster—it calls sons and daughters into global transformation.

What Have You Been Taught?

Romans 11:26 declares, “All Israel will be saved.” Here’s two theological perspectives to interpret it:

i

What About “All Israel Will Be Saved”?

Romans 11:25–29  “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved.”

Answer: Paul redefines “Israel and Jewish” earlier in the same book of Romans and in Galatians:

  • Rom 2:28–29: “A Jew is one inwardly; circumcision is of the heart.”
  • Rom 9:6–8: Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel
    the children of promise are counted as offspring.”
  • Gal 3:28–29: “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed.”

And John affirms the same definition in Revelation (True Jews accept Jesus)

  • Rev 2:9; 3:9: Those who claim to be Jews but are not… are a synagogue of Satan.”

Next, Jesus’ own prophecy regarding the Jews (Rejecting Jesus is rejecting God and his Covenant)

  • Mt 21:43 – Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you
    and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
  • Jn 8:44 – You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.

The Kingdom perspective? The true Israel is the covenant family of God—those Sons in Christ called to manifest heaven on earth regardless of ethnicity, Jew or Gentile. God wants to bless Israel as a nation, along with 195 other Nations. Sons are called to disciple them, all of them (Reformation).

Why the Emotional Draw to Charismatic Dispensationalism?

đŸ”„ 1)  Desire for Spiritual Power, Prophetic Manipulation

  • Prophecy, healing, and dreams offered intimacy with God.
  • Urgency made the mission feel historic, epic, purposeful.

đŸ—ș 2)  Need for Prophetic Clarity

  • Charts and timelines brought structure during chaos.

⚔ 3)  Longing for Warfare (it’s God’s will, in the prophetic plan)

  • End-time teaching framed wars and rumors of wars as predicted conflict between light and darkness that signals a welcomed end to it all with a rapture.

đŸ‡źđŸ‡± 4)  Identity Through Israel

  • Supporting Israel felt like aligning with God’s unfolding plan and gave meaning to end-time suffering with the promise of an escape in the soon coming rapture.

đŸ€ 5)  Tribe and Belonging

  • Intense worship, shared identity, fear of the antichrist, and closeted church culture.

🧭 6)  Comfort in Certainty

  • Dispensationalism helped people feel “in the know.”

💔 7)  The Comfort of a Victim Mindset

Some are drawn to dispensationalism because it validates pain; identifies with rejection:

  • “We’re the persecuted remnant. We have faith for a Tribulation, expecting the worst”
  • “Persecution means we’re right.” “We’re waiting for rescue in the rapture.”

But this sacred suffering narrative can become a spiritual prison, disconnecting believers from their present inheritance (Nations) and earthly assignment (Sonship, Ascension, & Reformation).

🌄 Why Many Are Shifting to the Kingdom

✹ 1)  A Better Story

Victorious eschatology replaces fear with faith: Jesus is not coming back to rescue a defeated church. Today’s return of consequence is sons all creation has been waiting for (Rom 8:19) to repopulate the divine Council, bring heaven to earth, and do even greater works (Jn 14:12).

đŸ”„ 2)  Sonship Over Survival

The gospel of the Kingdom is sonship and exploits, not orphans surviving until the rapture. Sons and daughters are bringing Heaven to Earth (Rom 8:17); Repopulating Father’s Divine Council.

  • Conducting spiritual warfare in the Courts of Heaven to reverse accusations, Release Father’s Decrees on earth
  • Doing what Father is doing (Jn 5:19) based on conversations in the Council with Father, Jesus, and the 7 Spirits.

🏛 3)  Engaging in Culture, Not Escaping It

Rather than hiding from Babylon, Kingdom reformers are transforming the 7 Mountains—business, government, media, education, arts, family, and religion: A Reformation of Nations!

🧠 4)  Sound Theology

Preterist eschatology helps believers see prior fulfillments in Matthew 24 and Revelation—freeing them to focus on today’s assignment. People have grown weary listening to all the failed predictions of Jesus return, fleeing to the mountains, and worshipping secular Israel.

đŸŒ± 5)  Tangible Fruit

Where dispensationalism produced passive, inevitable, prophetic destruction, Kingdom theology produces cultural reformation, business innovation, and multi-generational legacy.

👑 The Kingdom Alternative: Heaven on Earth

The Gospel is not just salvation—it’s the inauguration of a Kingdom that is ever-increasing (Isaiah 9:7). Victorious eschatology is not naive optimism—it’s anchored in Father’s Top Priorities:

  • Sonship: Living as beloved heirs and family, not just surviving servants.
  • Ascension: Seated with Christ, Sons having Conversations with 7 Spirits.
  • Reformation: Bringing Kingdom Life and Love to every sphere of culture.

The world isn’t ending. It’s groaning for the revealing of the sons of God (Rom 8:19).

i

🚀 Conclusion: From Rapture Readiness to Kingdom Reign

Dispensationalism offered, emotion, identity, an “answer” that resonates with the hopelessness paraded by the media —but often left believers waiting to escape. The Kingdom Gospel offers something far greater:

  • Hope instead of fear
  • Fruit instead of hype
  • Influence instead of isolation

Jesus isn’t coming back to rescue the Church from failure. He’s coming back to reign with a sons and daughters who are already Ascending and bringing heaven to earth with “greater works.”

“Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end.” (Isaiah 9:7)

The countdown is over. The Kingdom has begun. And you were born for such a time as this.

📊 Comparative Table: Preterism vs. Dispensationalism

 

What About “All Israel will be Saved”?

Rom 11:25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters,
so that you may not be conceited:
(Wise in your own eyes)
Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,

26)     
in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

27)    
And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
             28)    As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake;
but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,

29)    for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.

Paul defines “Jew” and “Israel” earlier in Romans

Rom 2:28 – A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,
nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
29)   No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly;
and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,
by the Spirit, not by the written code.
Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

Rom 4:11So then, he (Abraham) is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised

Rom 9:6 – It is not as though God’s word had failed.
                    For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.  
7)   Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children.
On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
8)  In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,
                  but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

Rom 9:25 –  As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
26)  
“And in the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ (Mt 16:16-17)
27).  
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:
Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will be saved,

(Paul is contrasting Sons of the Living God with Sons of Israel)

“Children of promise” are those who accept salvation through Jesus (the real covenant)

Gal 3:26 – So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
27)   for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28)  There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29)   If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

John has the same definition of “Jew” in Revelation
(He would have read Romans many times and probably discussed this issue with Paul?)

BTW – Both Smyrna and Philadelphia are mostly gentile churches with some saved jews

Rev 2:8 – To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.
9)   I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!
I know about the slander of those
who say they are Jews and are not, are a synagogue of Satan.

Rev 3:9 – I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan,
                  who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—
                I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

Jesus’ own prophecy regarding the Jews (Rejecting Jesus is rejecting God and his Covenant)

Mt 21:43 – Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you
and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Jn 8:44 – You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.

Mk 7:6 – Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
7)   
They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8)   
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.

And one more from Paul

Titus 1:13 – Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
14).   
and will pay no attention to Jewish myths
or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.

 

Bottom line – you can draw your own conclusions; I thought this was insightful.
