Thank you for your patience with my ignorance. That is basically what I understand from my brief reading of the Wiki article. As I believe all religions are the creation of man, my interpretation would naturally be somewhat different.Piezoe,
A cursory reading and understanding will probably confuse or be a turn off. Dispensationalism is a way of segmenting the Bible into different historical timeframes where God has revealed Himself in a progressive fashion to mankind. It also lays out Gods plan (historical and future) for the Church and for Israel.
A lot of times things from the Old Testament while still meaningful, apply themselves in a different Theological context today.
