I will take a stab at these questions:

HOW DO YOU APPROACH SCRIPTURE?

This is iffy since we know that 14 books there were in the original Bible were removed so we can't say it is the complete Word of God because much is left out such as The Book of Enoch which teaches much about God's Creation and that Earth is not a Globe but is flat with a Canopy over it. Also, the First Earth Age is almost none-existent within Genesis 1 in the limited 66 books. This time period when the Earth was first flooded due to Satan's destruction of Earth accounts for a whole other age that would bring the total time allotted Earth to 7,000 years at the Return of Christ rather than after when an additional 1,000 year rule of Christ upon Earth is added. The New Jerusalem coming down is His Kingdom. There has to be an correct interpretation of words used in the Bible accounts being studied. One has to go to the original usage such as the word "Dispensation", which in the Greek as Paul was using it means dispensing (Verb) such as putting out candy out of a candy machine. Paul is speaking of the dispensing of grace. It is an action word/ verb rather than a noun meaning time period.

HOW DO YOU APPROACH ISRAEL?

Israel is the word for the Northern House of Israel whom Christ said He came to save. Matthew 15:24. He did not come to Jewry, which did not represent His teachings. If a Believer want to be true to the Word of God, Israel is natural Hebrews of the 10 Northern Tribes. The Saving Grace was extended to any Gentile that grafted themselves to them. These are the Sheepfold of Christ. The Bible speaks of them as the Natural Olive Branch and the Wild Olive Branch, grafted together to make One strong Tree whose root is Christ Yahushua. Therefore, for some Evangelicals to believe that God has to remove Gentiles before He is able to deal with the Jews is clearly a false understanding and usage of the term "Dispensation". The ecclesia is made up of Israelites and Gentiles therefore, there is certainly no need for a special "Dispensation/time line" for one people over the other.


HOW DO YOU APPROACH THE TRIBULATION?

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome. John 16:33

Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested , and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give ... Rev. 2:10

HOW DO YOU APPROACH A RAPTURE?

There is no Rapture. There is only a Resurrection which is when the Dead in Christ rise first and then the living that remain are changed to meet the Lord in the Air. I Thess. 4:16-17 There cannot be any Believers to change when the Dead are resurrected if they have all been raptured in some false doctrine taught by Jesuits.
