    Israel will play a minor role in bible prophecy. It's restoration in 1948 was not by Gods doing.

    I don't think literal interpretation excludes the acknowledgment of literary devices. I actually appreciate their attempt in terms of a literal interpretation. The opposite side is Covenant theology which relies heavily on theory (eg., God's command to Adam constituting a covenant, the covenant of works). I believe neither adequate as an overview of salvation history or God's interaction with mankind.

    Covenant theology is much more on point than dispensationalism.

    There is so much arbitrariness in employment of literalism. Literalism is simply invoked to advance a previously held belief and dropped at the slightest hint of interpretive difficulty.

    What I'm saying is there are no rules of employing literalism in dispensationalism; you have to accept some parts as being literal or symbolic unquestioningly.

    I too belong to neither camp, and nor do I pretend to. I may not have a cogent eschatology to lean back on but I sure can pick out nonsense in any system. In my estimation, the errors and assumptions of Dispensationalism are one too many to be ignored. Ezekiel's temple was the tipping point

    Most Christians are completely unaware of what is about to happen. This will rock the faith of many would be followers.

    It's a wonderful thing to know that men women and children are about to suffer and die horrible deaths....sorry. Solomon was right about one thing....wisdom brings sorrow. The ignorant are the happiest and this forum is packed with some really happy people.

    You are the illuminated. You know nothing but you are full of yourself. The delusional are also among the happiest

    I suppose it depends on the theologian.

    True, everyone has a different take on things. I happen to favor British Israelism but the doctrine has many differing adherents with opposing concepts.
