Career

Being a dispensationalist, he was a developer of the movement in its early days. Two of his books, Revelation, an Analysis and Exposition and Current Events in the Light of the Bible explain the dispensationalist view of eschatology.

Gaebelein did not support the Christian Zionists in their alliance with the World Zionist Organization. In a 1905 speech, he stated: Template:Quote

In 1899, Gaebelein left the Methodist Episcopal Church because of its theological liberalism.[1] George Marsden notes that he was one of the early fundamentalist leaders to advocate ecclesiastical separation.[2]

Gaebelein was an advocate of gap creationism.[3] He also was the editor of Our Hope, a Christian periodical, for a number of years, and was a close assistant to Dr. C. I. Scofield on his monumental work, the Scofield Reference Bible. George Marsden refers to some of Gaebelein's writing as being anti-Jewish.[4]

The Principles of the Hope of Israel Moment

In the Nov-Dec 1896 issue of "Our Hope" one of the best statements of Hebrew Christians (Messianic Jews) was written under the heading, The Principles of the Hope of Israel Moment.
