I agree dispensationalism is incorrect. In no way does a temporal doctrine cancel,mitigate, remove or change the truth. Just because a few deluded souls have it wrong does not make the source material incorrect. 

So when did all the nations go to the King every year on the feast of tabernacles?

You will have to study the apocalypse in detail to see that prophecy was fulfilled.

To the letter? exactly as spoken?

No. It is largely apocalyptic language, so familiarity with the well known symbols in the Tanakh is necessary. John repurposes over 300 prophets and their idiomatic language.

This is the second coming.  Hi, Justin.  Consider this....

Zechariah 14:4

[4] And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

We know that there will be a great "earthquake”—a shaking of all the "mountains" of the earth (Hos. 2:21), which means a shaking of all the nations when Jesus Christ returns. And in that day when His feet stand upon the Mount of Olives this flesh age shall be over and ALL people will be instantly changed (in the twinkling of an eye) into their spiritual bodies.  Paul makes this very clear in 1 Cor. 15:50-52.  And yet, God is going to cleave the Mount of Olives and open a great valley, making a path of salvation, a way of escape, through the valley of the mountains, i.e. through the nations. The picture of the mountain cleaving and the path through the valley, etc., is given to us to graphically illustrate what is happening spiritually.

[5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Azal means "noble" or even the Noble One.  In other words, He is going to make a path to the mountain of God where the Noble One resides. This applies to the remnant, His elect, those He protects.  

[6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

[7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

—electlady 

 

This is about the coming of the promise Messiah, Jesus Christ who when he comes he will open the way to God for both Jews and Gentiles. 

The Heavenly Father will have children from Jesus Christ the Messiah of God from all the Nations of the Earth, from both Jews and Gentiles in the same way through faith in Jesus Christ. 

This passage is foretelling the coming end of the Sina Covenant that  was in effect at the time of the prophet Zachariah. 

It signals the end of the Temple sacrifices, and as a result the need for the Aaronic Priesthood. 

As it foretells that God will have children through Jesus Christ who his mission was to open the way so the Heavenly Father can have Children through him, in his name.

I've seen you use end of the [age/epoch] before.   Which means when one ends and another begins is a literal Dispensation.   This is how Pentecostals view it.

 

But in my Definition and your usage of end of a time, era, period, age, epoch and then leads into a new period is exactly a Dispensation fulfilled and new dispensation taking place.

 

How can you say Dispensation is incorrect when you're defining it by end of age/epoch and so forth?

Oh....so the person of Jesus Christ didn't really give the Revelation?

Now that seems a disingenuous comment.

Pointing out what appears to be a logical failure. And it was not disingenuous, it was dry sarcasm.
