Dispensationalism is the belief Yahweh has divided history into periods of time where He works with people differently in each stage of history. Those who do not believe in the pre tribulation rapture reject dispensationalism because they believe Yahweh treats all people the same. Many who claim to be Messianic who have gone too far into rabbinic Judaism or who have bought into the lie of replacement theology reject dispensationalism and the rapture even if they once believed both were true.
Most who do not know the bible are swayed with every wind of doctrine and once they buy into kabalah, rabbinic Judaism, or replacement theology then their views change to whatever false teacher or rabbinic rabbi they yoke themselves to. Of course rabinic Judaism rejects dispensationalism because they do not believe Messiah has come the first time.
Daniel 9 is a major passage in the bible where Yahweh has given us a view of dispensationalism
Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
There is much debate in the interpretation of some of this passage. For this post, it is sufficient to state that this passage gives how many years Yahweh said He has given to the Jewish people to finish the transgression. It tells of the second temple being built, and of Messiah and His being cut off (Death and resurrection). There is seven weeks left. The antichrist confirms a covenant for the last seven weeks given to the Jewish people to end the transgression.
The problem is, there is about 2,000 years between the time Messiah was cut of (which was when the second temple was standing) and the last 7 years Yahweh will be dealing with the Jewish people. The apostle Paul tells of this time - the time of the gentiles - and states after that time, Yahweh will be grafting in the pruned branches once again when their eyes are opened and they accept Yeshua as their Messiah.
Romans 11
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
There obviously is a time of the gentiles where Israel is blinded and this time of blindness comes to an end after the fullness of the gentiles comes in. We know from the passage in Daniel that the amount of time left for Israel is seven years. Also note that the gentile believers and Israel are two distinct groups - those who claim they are Israel when they are gentiles are in error. Gentiles are grafted into Messiah Yeshua, not to Israel. The native olive branches and wild olive branches are grafted in Yeshua although they remain distinct varieties of olives.
The church is called Yeshua's bride - a bride is given a seven day wedding week. This time of the gentile (and Jewish believer) bride wedding is seven years in which time Yahweh will be dealing with the unrepentant Jews on earth to bring them to repentance and acceptance of Yeshua as their Messiah.
The tribulation is a time of Yahweh's wrath on earth (the Jewish people being protected likely in Petra, Jordan) and while there has been terrorism, wars, holocausts, and inquisitions, that has been man's doing to man. The tribulation is when Yahweh deals with man. Seems many cannot comprehend that distinct difference.
Now is the time to repent and accept Yeshua as Messiah and obey Him out of your love for Him. Time is extremely short and there is not much time left for you to seek forgiveness before the rapture happens and the tribulation begins.
Zephaniah 2
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Isaiah 26
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

The abomination of Desolation - Are you committing it?
It is generally agreed that the first abomination of desolation was committed by Antiochus Epiphanes IV when he entered the Holy Temple and offered swine as a sacrifice. It was first prophesied in the book of Daniel and according to what Messiah Yeshua said, will be carried out again when the antichrist enters the temple at the mid point of the tribulation.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Matthew 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Yahweh has repeatedly said that eating swine is an abomination to Him. Yeshua did NOT "clean it" when He was on earth - He could never have done so because it would have been a sin to go against what Yahweh said was an abomination. Yeshua did not rebel against Yahweh during the time satan tempted Him nor did He ever sin - including eating swine - while He was on earth. When the apostle Paul taught the Bereans about Yeshua, they checked everything he taught them against scripture and would have reject both Paul and Yeshua if Paul taught them Yeshua cleansed what is called an abomination by Yahweh.
Speaking of the end times, Yahweh said He will come against those who sin - including eating swines flesh and unclean broth (I always think "clam chowder" when I read it) as well as the Bethel-Redding "grave suckers" who think they are holier than those who obey Torah.
Deuteronomy 14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Note that this is spoken of in the time after Israel became a nation in a day which happened in 1948:
Isaiah 66
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
...
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Messiah said His body was a temple when He spoke about His death and resurrection:
John 2
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
The apostle Paul spoke of our bodies of Yeshua's followers being the temple of the Holy Spirit which lives in the believer:
1 Corinthians 6
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Since the believers' body is the temple and the Holy Spirit lives within us, and Yahweh calls eating swine's flesh (and shellfish, etc.) an ABOMINATION, then we need to obey what He said and not eat the things He said to not eat. The abomination of desolation was sacrificing swine in the Holy Temple and since the body is also the temple, then eating swine's flesh is an abomination of desolation.
Messiah Yeshua would NEVER have contradicted what He and His Father commanded us - and He says He will reject those who claim to be His if they do not obey what Yahweh says. :
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Daniel and Queen Esther (two short studies)
Two short little studies today.
1 Chronicles 3:1 Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
Daniel 1:3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
Daniel 1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Ezra 8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David;
This is interesting in the light of how Daniel is a type of Messiah in the events that happened to him.
I believe that Artaxerxes in Nehemiah in Esther is either the king Esther married or her son. It makes sense since the king in Nehemiah allowed Nehemiah to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and even paid for the rebuilding and there was no mention of Haman. Nehemiah was in a high position which would not have been the case if this was before Esther and Haman would have have tried to prevent the king from allowing Jerusalem to be rebuilt. The queen was sitting next to Artaxerxes when the request was made and that could have been queen Esther (either wife or mother of the king) There is very good reason to believe the queen mentioned in Nehemiah was Esther. The king had no second thoughts about granting the request and no reason he would have done so if Esther was not his wife or his mother. If Artaxerxes is the husband or son of Esther, then Esther not only saved the lives of the Jews at the hand of Haman, she was also the reason Jerusalem was rebuilt by Nehemiah (about 17 years later if Artaxerxes is indeed Ahasuerus or a little longer if Artaxerxes was her son)
Esther 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
Nehemiah 2
1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
Daniel
The prophet Daniel was taken into captivity when Babylon conquered Israel, Most people do not realize that the prophet Daniel was the son of David and his wife Abigail:
1 Chronicles 3:1 Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
Daniel 1:3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
Daniel 1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Ezra 8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David;
This is interesting in the light of how Daniel is a type of Messiah in the events that happened to him.
Queen Esther
There is no hard facts on this one. Many consider Ahasuerus mentioned in Esther the same as Artaxerxes mentioned in Nehemiah. Some believe Artaxerxes is a title for many kings. Either way, both ruled in Shushan and it is clear from the context that Nehemiah was after Haman tried to exterminate the Jews in Esther.
I believe that Artaxerxes in Nehemiah in Esther is either the king Esther married or her son. It makes sense since the king in Nehemiah allowed Nehemiah to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and even paid for the rebuilding and there was no mention of Haman. Nehemiah was in a high position which would not have been the case if this was before Esther and Haman would have have tried to prevent the king from allowing Jerusalem to be rebuilt. The queen was sitting next to Artaxerxes when the request was made and that could have been queen Esther (either wife or mother of the king) There is very good reason to believe the queen mentioned in Nehemiah was Esther. The king had no second thoughts about granting the request and no reason he would have done so if Esther was not his wife or his mother. If Artaxerxes is the husband or son of Esther, then Esther not only saved the lives of the Jews at the hand of Haman, she was also the reason Jerusalem was rebuilt by Nehemiah (about 17 years later if Artaxerxes is indeed Ahasuerus or a little longer if Artaxerxes was her son)

2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:

2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
