Jesus came unto His own and His own received Him not (John 1:11 KJV) They crucified the Lord, as they would have no man to rule over them, but Caesar (John 19:15 KJV). They did not believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Only a little flock believed. They will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28 KJV) in the millennial kingdom.I don't want to know if it is heretical in your view, I just want to know what the doctrine of dispensationalism is defined by. I know that it's popular in fundamentalist circles. I'll give you my definition of it here:
Basically God initiates salvation with different mediums of grace throughout different time periods. Each time the people refuse to live by or accept the grace of God, to which God then has to come up with a new way of saving people.
Am I right?
The world was ripe for God's judgment and at the stoning of Stephen (the last straw-so to speak), rather than judgment coming (the wrath to come), God saved the chief of sinners (Acts 9, 1 Timothy 1:13-16 KJV), His biggest enemy (Galatians 1:11-16 KJV), and through His apostleship/his "office" (Romans 11:13 KJV, 1 Timothy 2:7 KJV, 2 Timothy 1:11 KJV) by the unscheduled appearance(s)/revelations from the risen, glorified Lord Jesus Christ to and through him God began a mystery body, time, gospel and eternal destination; an inheritance far above all heavens. You can read about it in the form of sound words of Romans through Philemon (2 Timothy 1:13 KJV).
Hope this helps.
