💁🏻 Concept: Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism is a theological system that began in the 19th century with J. N. Darby. It teaches a sharp distinction between Israel and the Church, a pre-tribulational rapture, and a literal fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies for national Israel. It also divides biblical history into seven dispensations: Innocence, Conscience, Human Government, Promise, Law, Grace, Millennial Kingdom. 

However, Scripture presents a unified redemptive plan—Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Completion—where Christ began restoring this broken world through the Great Commission at His first coming, leading to its fulfillment at His second coming.
