CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ACTUALLY TEACH RABBINIC JUDAISM?
After reading this page, there is no doubt that a great many will see just how the founder of Dispensationalism, John Nelson Darby, C. I. Scofield and those that came after them either were direct agents in the clever scheme to bring unbelieving Jewish teaching into the Churches or became stooges of those who introduced the "Dispensational Ages" misinterpretations!
THE SHOCKING EVIDENCE!
The "two main ages" of Dispensationalism are usually divided into "Israel (the Law) and the Church (Grace)". All seems fine so far and is how they draw many into their deceptive teachings. Then they switch to their main teaching, "The Church is not Israel and Israel never means the Church". This agrees with rabbinic Judaism nicely.
The New Testament however totally disagrees with this in Acts with the words of Stephen referring to the Old Testament Torah and Moses:
This is he (Moses), that was in the Church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: Acts 7:38
This passage says the Church clearly existed in Old Testament times and it has been so all along! Dispensationalism continues to fully agree with rabbinic interpretation of the Old Testament however.
AT FIRST GLANCE. DISPENSATIONALISM APPEARS "FULLY CHRISTIAN", BUT LET US LOOK DEEPER
This list is not exhaustive but will hopefully cause many to "get the drift" of what Dispensationalists have been foisting on America for over 150 years!
2. Dispensationalism teaches that whenever you see the term "Israel" in the Old Testament, it always means "the Jews" and never the Church. Judaism teaches the same thing!
3. Dispensationalism teaches that "the Jews are Gods' Chosen People"; the Gentiles however, are not. For Gentiles to be Saved they must believe in Christ by "choosing themselves" for their own Salvation. Judaism teaches also "the Jews are Gods' Chosen People" and do not need Christ. Christ may be "for the Gentiles" but not for them.
4. Dispensationalism teaches that the Jewish people are "under a different covenant" and do not need to believe in Jesus Christ to be Saved. Judaism teaches the same thing!
5. Dispensationalism teaches that the Temple in Jerusalem must be rebuilt so that the Jews can rule this carnal world. Judaism teaches the same thing! [1]
Darby borrowed wholesale from rabbinic teaching with his "Millennium" age. As we now inform you, it exactly corresponds to the unbelieving Jewish teaching of "The Age of the Messiah"; Jews rule the world, the Temple is rebuilt and animal sacrifices are re-instituted. Gentiles return to a status of "second-class citizens" or as Jewish rabbinic literature states, "servants of the Jews".
A WORD ABOUT PREMILLENIALISTS
Premillennialism (called Classic Premillennialism) has been taught here and there in the Churches almost from the beginning. It is the belief based on certain passages in the New Testament that there will be a mass conversion of the Jews at the end of time and that they will join WITH the Church and be with the Gentiles as one Glorious Church ruling and reigning with Christ here on earth. Christ returns to be with His Church and sets up His Kingdom on earth with all accompanying Glory. Notice I said that the Jews AND the Gentiles together as One Church would rule and reign with Christ for the 1,000 years. This has always been the Classic Premillennial teaching and the Church through the ages permitted this teaching as one interpretation.
NOW LET US EXAMINE DISPENSATIONAL PREMILLENNIALISM
Compared to Classic Premillennialism, Dispensational Premillennialism is a different breed of cat altogether! And here is why. The Dispensationalists teach that the Church will have NO PART in the 1,000 year reign of Christ at all! Remember their theology; the church has been "Darby-style raptured" and are still "floating in the air" somewhere or in heaven and are NOT ruling or reigning on the earth until after the Millennium. Why is that? Because the carnal earth, in the Millennium, is declared to be Jewish real estate! The Jews then rebuild the Temple, re-commence the blood rituals and set up the "middle wall of partition" again. The Gentiles who have lived through "the 7 year great tribulation" will then become "second class citizens" once more as if Christ never came at all! Or as the rabbinic teaching states, the Gentiles will "become servants (slaves) to the Jews in the Age of the Messiah".
Many Dispensationalists are then taught to follow Zionist rabbinic teaching without question (to question right-wing Israeli political policy might constitute "anti-semitism" they are told) and so become "Christian Zionists" supporting the such things as the Settler Movement against even Christian Palestinians! Fomenting violence has now become a very high priority in the Middle East as certain "interested parties" make a lot of money in sponsoring it. In this the Dispenationalists have become traitors to the Church of Jesus Christ.
Many times persons are shocked to find out just what Dispensationalism does teach and supports "at the higher levels". We are just scratching the surface a bit to tip off the Church about their apostate and devilish teachings.
DOWNGRADING "THE CHURCH AGE"
The use of the term "A.D." is usually replaced with "The Church Age" in Dispensationalism. This corresponds to "C.E." in Jewish teaching. That which is called, "Common Era" (C.E.) is considered to be "the Church" in Judaism. The use of the correct term "New Covenant" was replaced bt Dispensationalists with "Church Age" which is always considered less than the "Age of the Law" which has "not yet been fully fulfilled to the Jewish people" they claim.
"The Church Age" (C.E.) is also held in semi-derision as insufficient as compared with the coming "Jewish Millennium" in which the Church will play no part and converts will far outnumber what "The Church Age" could ever produce, they say. Remember that "Israel and the Church" remain totally separate in Dispensational theology. The Dispensational founders taught that the "Church Age" is generally a failure, but the Jewish Millennium will be much more successful in numbers of converts.[2]

We need only point out that unbelieving Jews who did reject Christ such as the Apostle Paul; after Christs' crucifixion and appearamce did believe, and who knows how many more did believe later! Surely all the Elect did!
And also their "7 year great tribulation" is not wildly popular with Jews in Israel now because they read what is supposed to happen to millions of Jews "before Jesus can return" and what else is that but their total slaughter under "the Antichrist"? Orthodox Jews have said such teaching is clearly anti-semitic.
In spite of all that, the rabbis have consented to their presence in Israel because they dutifully conduct regular "holy land tours" which bring great revenue for Israeli tourist traps and the Dispys have agreed not to preach the Gospel in Israel because the Dispys follow the line that "the Jews are under a separate Covenant and don't really need Jesus to be Saved". "pastor" John Hagee preaches that publically.
