I have been thinking a lot about Dispensationalism. Although I know some who are Dispensational in their beliefs and it is not my intent in down grading them in this post and would also consider that I am no scholar at what Dispensationalism is. This is what I have considered and came to understand what Dispensationalism is:
That there is the body of Christ made of Jewish believers and then Gentile believers. God has promised the Jewish believers that are solely for them and promises that the Gentile believers will inherite and it does not mean that God saves seperately from the works of Christ by grace through faith. However, the thing is that this view seems to be contradictory to the views of scripture and also difficult. Accordingly, Ephesians 3:10 - So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have bodlness and acces with confidence through our faith in him.
Moreover, Paul even tells us in Romans 10 - 11 the purposes of why the Jewish people do not believe and it is to fulfill God's purpose of election for His glory. But as he says in Romans 11 that it was because of the Jews unbelief that the Gentiles were able to be ingrafted.
