I really didn’t see anything in the passage about the Messiah, new heavens/earth, thousand year reign and so on.

1. v.2 Satan is bound for that time
2. v.3 at the end Satan is loosed
3. v.4 Saints that reign with Christ
4. v.5 rest of the dead lived at the finish of the Millennium
5. v.6 Saints reigning with Christ in the Millennium
6. v.7 Satan will be loosed
There is no doubt that there is reward for obedient suffering to be sure. That however does not negate a literal Millennium. Further, I have listed several events that will take place during that time which also sets up context.

That cannot be undone.
Perhaps you can help me understand this theology. Does it suppose National Israel will be re-established as a nation on earth with Jesus reigning as King? Does that mean the throne of Jesus is not in heaven but on earth? Does it teach the sacrifices in the temple will resume? Does it teach Jews will reign on earth while Christians are in heaven?
I tell you plainly, I want to be in heaven with Jesus. Nothing less will do.

This page has a chart that highlights the differences between normative Dispensationalism and Normative Covenantalism Dispensationalism and Covenantalism: What are the differences?

The link is a good addition to the discussion, but has a couple of errors. First of all, a dispensation is not a "period of time" but a stewardship from God. How long the stewardship takes is not the main thing. Secondly, dispensationalists are very clear that the theology is doxological, putting God's glory first. However the chart has dispensationalism believing, "The purpose of God is to gather a people for himself." It is true that "a purpose" (singular) of God is to gather a people for Himself, but that purpose is for the glory of God.
