Thank you for this very clear definition of dispensation. I found in my library a copy of a scholarly book titled "Footsteps of the Messish" by Dr. Arnold G Fruchtenbaum." It looks at historical events up to the present time in support of this understanding and of course to the future.

I became interested in the dispensationalist theology when a Christian friend, not Lutheran, talked of the 10 Horns mentioned in Revelation being the 10 nations now being the recent formation of the BRICS which now number 10. Also the sign of the beast also mentioned in Revolution seems to fit with new technologies already being used by China to permit or deny travel requests and even food. The use of CBDCs is being proposed by the WEF as a global currency to replace physical currency and existing digital currencies for total control and suppression of free speech and religion. The Biden administration is firmly behind this change.
