Premillennial dispensationalism is, almost by definition, a
prophetically oriented eschatology (theology of end times). For what
it's worth, I have never found it terribly useful to go point by point
through prophecies with most people (as in "Thief in the Night"). IMO, a
more beneficial approach is simply to provide a link to the Kitab-i-Iqan
and to then encourage the person to read it.
