In one of Q's posts, he wrote
"10 days. DARNKESS. War. Good v. Evil."
A Google search of "darnkess" brings up a book called "Three Days of Darnkess" "John Staggar must fight his way through the city to save 5 year old Susan Riddle during three days where hell reigns on earth."
The word apparently darnkess is a typo that remained in the final version. So most people believe Q was referring to this book.
This book is rather amateurish written and remains riddled with typos. At the beginning of the story, a faithful priest is discussing the prophecy of Saint Padre Pio who warned that in the future, there would be 3 days of darkness where Hell descended onto earth. This is what this book is all about. Demons and the damned from Hell come onto earth to cause havok for three days.
There is a 5 year old girl who lives in fear of her Luciferian parents who seems somewhat relieved when they are devoured by a demon. She asks the main character John, a man who has lost his faith, to take her to a Catholic Church. Most of the book is then about John and Susan as they travel through the streets to see how the people are overcome by evil and violence and kill each, while at the same time, the world is filled with demons who are constantly eating the unfaithful, and torturing the wandering damned in horrible ways.
After many scenes of violence, John finally brings Susan to the church and all is well for them.
In the afterwards of the book, the demons and damned have returned to Hell, but in the aftermath, the good and the evil of the world have separated themselves into different communities. And that is how the book ends.
Maybe this was not what Q was referring to, but it seems to be. Does anyone have thoughts what Q's message could have been if this was what he was referring to?
Not true.
Many, Many protestant churches adhere to what I guess you'd call a slightly modified covenant teaching.
Dispensationalism is not nearly as prevalent as you are making out. Maybe your area has a dispriportianatly large following, but not anywhere I've lived has that been the case. Our family has I guess you'd say a multi-denominational background, been in 6 different states (north, midwest, south, far NW). I've not seen the propensity of which you speak.
Slightly modified covenant teaching, eh?
John Nelson Darby, John Darby’s Synopsis of the Old and New Testaments

Dispensationalism is simply further refinement of Darby's covenant teaching, which was developed largely thanks to Scofield and his Scofield Reference Bible, whose margin notes were largely influenced by Darby.
New Covenant Theology is a merging of Dispensationalism and classical Covenant Theology, so in that sense you're correct.
Did the old covenant dissapear entirely? Or did it stay in place for Jews who wish to follow the old covenant yet still follow Christ?
Never once have I believe, regardless of other status, that the favord status of the Jews was ever passed on to another people's. That doesn't even make sense.
That Gentiles (basically everyone but Jews) can now enjoy salvation through Christ, that only brings salvation onto equal footing with Isreal, salvation-wise.
If you want the favored children status, that is another thing entirely.
Daniel 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Yes, the covenant ended at the end of the 70 weeks, or 490 years. Dispensationalists claim the last 7 years of this prophecy moved into an undetermined future. Not sure how you interpret this.
But there is a reference to this 490 years in Matthew-
Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
