You Are a Dispensationalist Lewis Sperry Chafer: “Any person is a dispensationalist who trusts the blood of Christ rather than bringing an animal sacrifice” and “who observes the first day of the week rather than the seventh.”

A Question of Interpretation “Now we must frankly admit that a literal interpretation of the Old Testament prophecies gives us just such a picture of an earthly reign of the Messiah a the premillennialist pictures. That was the kind of a Messianic Kingdom that the Jews of the time of Christ were looking for, on the basis of a literal interpretation of the Old Testament Promises . . . The Jews were looking for just such a kingdom as that expected by those premillennialists who speak of the Jews holding a preeminent places in an earthly Jewish Kingdom to be set up by the Messiah in Jerusalem” Floyd E. Hamilton, The Basis of the Millennial Faith, 51.
