I found this fascinating (as well as frightening) but it got me to thinking "What are the specific difference between this and Catholic Eschatology?" Any takers on a discussion of this?

May the haters of Christ be as wax before fire; as fog before wind.

Well, yes, but we believe many of the things they teach and Dispensationalist protestants believe much of what they believe. How do we make the distinction clear to those who know a little about all three?
