Dispensationalism is a theological system that views history as divided into distinct periods of time, or "dispensations," during which God deals with humanity in different ways. This perspective typically includes the belief in a future period of tribulation followed by the second coming of Jesus Christ and a 1,000-year reign on earth. Dispensationalists also emphasize the literal interpretation of biblical prophecy and the importance of Israel in God's plan for the world.
