Scofield.  It is in stark contact to Covenant Theology in which they believe Christ is presently ruling from the throne of David.== Criticism ==Some Christians take issue with the eternal distinction of Jews, Gentiles, and the Church.  The idea that the Church will one day inherit heavenly mansions, while Israel will inherit the earth is considered unfair.  However, dispensationalists believe that national Israel will one day come to accept Christ as their savior too (see Matthew 23:37-39 and Luke 13:35.)
