In 1878, Blackstone published “Jesus Is Coming,” which built on previous iterations of dispensationalist ideology. He laid out a sweeping forecast of future events. First on the agenda was the return of the Jews to the land that was then Palestine.

(Of course, a man who is not a dispensationalist and is still trying to teach the Bible is a farce. I don’t mean that with malice; I mean it is just a plain statement of fact.) A man who is not a dispensationalist does not divide the Bible into dispensations, and therefore, he has sinned against God, for the clear commandment is to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2Tim 2:15).
