SK,
I find that a lot of believers share your concern about the tribulation saints. If I understand you correctly you believe that Dispensatonalist teach that the Jews after the rapture revert back to OT Law.
It is true that dispensationalist believe that the state of Israel will be re established and that temple worship will again play a role in their daily lives. To what extent that happens is yet to play out. The orthodox Jews living in Israel and around the world already have all the temple furniture designed and some actually built waiting for the temple to be erected. I havent studied it lately but several years back I did do some reading on this very reality. All we can do is wait and see how it all plays out. We can all say that if at least one view that is held among us mortals is correct then all the rest will know in due time they were incorrect.
Now, the Jews that remain after the rapture who come to Christ at that time are separate form the Bride of Christ form our perspective. The same is true of Gentiles and Jews who are just as saved in Christ as we are but are what has been coined tribulations saints. As we understand it we, the bride of Christ are with Christ and all saved in the 70th week are tribulation saints. These saints are not forced to revert back to a legalistic system that mandates the keeping of some 600 plus laws of the OT. While unsaved Israel may practice them during the 70th the week they are not required to do so in light of their faith in Christ. If a Jewish believer in Christ during the 70th week of Daniel decides to practice the rituals as a memorial that is fine but dispensationalist do not teach what tribulation believers must revert to the OT system. That is not to say some who are dispensationalist have stated that but they would be uninformed as to the truth of the hermeneutic. We also recognize that with in the system there are smaller variances as this is true of all systems. This is healthy if views in the spirit of godliness respecting the individuality we all manage to display.
We do believe that the sacrificial system will be set up in the kingdom as a memorial similar to that of the lords supper, except that Christ will actually be present. There are a lot of difficult passages in the Bible and I am sure if we all confess we could name a hand full that gives up fits on what to think and how it will all play out in the end.
As to the idea of Progressive there are those that have taken a different approach from the normal dispensationalism held by Ryrie, include me in that camp. There are those that have been labeled as Progressive Dispensationalist They in my opinion are gravitating back toward covenant theology. I would prefer that they not use the dispensational tag because of the departure from the normative view of dispensationalist but I dont control how that happens and what others say or the labels they use.
