When we study scripture it harmonize itself into doctrines such as theology, Bibliology, Anthropology, Soteriolog, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology, ect..
One that is not studied much is "Israelology" That's one of many reasons there is so much confusion in eschatology.
When you dive right into eschatology and neglect "Israelology" and what the old testament has to say about End times our understanding becomes a battle!!
Revelation is nearly impossible, Matthew 24 and 25 becomes confusing.
So we topic search to fill in the blanks. When we do we're going to find Pre, Mid, and Post- Tribulation and Millennium views.
By error the shaping and building of some understanding of scripture starts.
Some attempt to shape the rest of God's word around their eschatology!!
It becomes dear to them because if it doesn't hold water their whole theology sinks.
Now faulty hermeneutics comes into play. To fit their eschatology into their theology they have to do a lot of spiritualizing scripture.
Mostly the Post-trib group is guilty for this.
Some say we're already in the Millennium, "Christ is going to rule in our hearts." However there is diverse views in this group.
This one is new to me!!
Some believe in the Millennium, but entirely ignore the old testament and say the Millennium is in heaven!
And they say the rapture is at the end of the world During the time of judgment.
If the Millennium is in heaven and the rapture is afterwards ( End of world )
How are you caught up to meet the Lord in the air? or Caught up at all? Where are you going? Your already there!
My point is it is their entire framework that rides on their eschatology.
Everything else is built on it.
So to them to deny the Literal Millennium here on earth, Pre-trib, Diversity of Saints, OT Saints, Church, Tribulation Saints. is Paramount.
This happens when we deny Israel's righteous place in God's program.
I feel the same as you do about those who believe the system of dispensationalism. To me this is a theory that seeks Scripture to verify it rather than begin with Scripture to know what it teaches. John Nelson Darby needed to continue to create new co trine to add to the pre-trib rapture theory to make it work in regards to Scriptural support. I believe that he created a system that appealed to "itching ears". When I read both the Old Testament and the New Testament concerning these things I just cannot see where this theory hold to the truth of the Word.
Don't fill up your cup.
Leave room for learning.
