The first political "congress" in man's recorded history met in solemn session about 3000 B.C It consisted, not unlike our own congress, of two "houses": a "senate," or an assembly of elders; and a "lower house," or an assembly of arms-bearing male citizens. It was a "war congress," called together to take a stand on the momentous question of war and peace; it had to choose between what we would describe as "peace at any price" or war and independence. The "senate," with its conservative elders, declared for peace at all cost, but its decision was "vetoed" by the king, who then brought the matter before the "lower house." This body declared for war and freedom, and the king approved. Kramer, page 30.

I'll have to look up "Dispensationalism"..
OK, I got it now --- thanx for the tip.
As the first chapter first verse of
The Revelation of St John says "these things shall soon come to pass" the Preterist position is the only one with credibility.
