Dispensationalists view the Jews’ return to the land of Palestine, and the setting up of the na- tion of Israel as one of the most important conditions of the coming millennium. There are signs that dispensationalism is beginning to lose its grip on the evangelical church, with criticism com- ing from Reformed theology, which has weakened the general attachment to dispensationalism. Great teaching centers for promoting dispensationalism, such as the large Dallas Seminary, are starting to modify and water down their dispensational theology, though the traditional views are still widely held by many Christians.
