I believe it was mainly in reaction to this particular teaching that those desiring to be more politically correct adopted the dispensationalist theory which moved the antichrist to a future 7-year Tribulation, and changed popery and Islam into "great religions" we are called upon to respect.
Thanks, David. These two cults want world domination and obviously this was the case during the middle ages. I have never heard this about dispensationalism before, so thanks for your insight.
