One thing to keep in mind, is that you may run into progressive dispensationalism if you haven't already. The reason why I bring that up is you mention differences between "modern" and "classical" dispensationalism. Progressive and classical dispensationalism are two separate but related systems that are represented today.

Progressive dispensationalism (represented by such guys as Blaising, Bock and Saucy) is much less radical than the classical variety represented by the Scofield Reference Bible. It comes part way to the covenantal understading of Scripture, but obviously not all the way. The is also ultra-dispensationalism. Many of those folks go so far as to not even practice baptism because they think it was only for a small dispensation between the Jesus' public ministry and a certain point in the book of Acts (which can vary depending on who you talk to).

Thanks for the extra info :) It looks like I have a lot of work to do!

is correct to say that definition plays into this.

People who suppose that Reformed theology and Dispensational theology mix fail to understand either Reformed theology, Dispensational theology, or both. The John McArthur version of 'Calvinism' would have seen you unceremoniously bounced out of Geneva, had you arrived with it anytime in the late 16th or 17th century.

I can tell you that the fact that Isreal came into existance and is growing is all the proof I currently need to start off on my quest.

The Israel of today is not the Israel of the OT. Todays Israel is a pagan country it is not the Theocratic nation of the Old. Dont let current events interpret Scripture, that is bad, Scripture interprets Scripture.


God bless your efforts.
