an essential quotation from this book:
Difficulties in the Postponed Kingdom Theory
It is immediately obvious that a system which takes this greatest portion of Jesus' teaching away from the Christian in its direct application must receive a penetrating scrutiny. This is the reason the dispensational interpretation of the kingdom concerns us so vitally. When Christians will not use the Lord's Prayer because it is given for the kingdom age and not for the present age, we must test carefully the validity of the position. These are not unimportant peripheral matters, but the heart of the teachings of our Lord.
