Tom,

The understanding of the Church and Israel is not the only major difference but a major difference between dispensational premillennialism and historic premillennialism.

The dispensational premillenial view holds that the Second coming of Christ will be a two stage event.

The historic premillennial view holds that the second coming of Christ will not be a two stage event, but a single occurrence.

Wikipedia/Historic premillennialism said:

A major difference of historic and dispensational premillennialism is the view of the church in relation to Israel. Historics do not see as sharp a distinction between Israel and the church as the dispensationalists do, but instead view Christians of all ages as part of one group, now revealed as the body of Christ. Thus, historic premillennialists see no issue with the church going through the Great Tribulation, and so they do not need a separate pre-tribulational rapture of some believers as the dispensational system requires.



Have a good Lord's day,
