I think you've found at least one difference between the dispensational and reformed hermeneutic. Just for clarification, when you say "OT point of view", whose view would that be? For example, during the time Jesus walked the earth, there was quite a difference in points of view when it comes to looking at OT passages, case in point the Pharisees vs the Sadducees.

A reoccurring thought:

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
