LOL! I posted mine before I read yours...

Kathy, I used to believe in dispensationalism: that God has a different plan for the Jews than for the Gentiles, that the Church would be raptured before a 7 -year tribulation, that the old Temple sacrificial system would be reinstated, that the saints would reign on the earth for a literal 1,000 years, etc. But I examined my tradition in light of Scripture, and I found my beliefs wanting.

Notes on Eschatology by Sam Waldron (I also found his book The End Times Made Simple extremely helpful)

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
