"The story of modern ‘Dispensationalism’ (and hence Rapture eschatology) begins around 1825 and is associated with an Irishman by the name of John Nelson Darby. He was a clergyman in the Church of England and originated a meeting in Plymouth, England, giving rise to the name Plymouth Brethren. Darby established himself as an influential Bible teacher, and through his many writings and lecture circuits he introduced many of the features of what would come to be known as ‘Dispensationalism’.
Though a number of influential ministers and Bible teachers followed Darby’s interpretation of the Bible, the single most important figure in the subsequent growth and spread of ‘Dispensationalism’ was Cyrus I. Scofield. Scofield was a Congregationalist minister in the United States who had heard Darby lecture and embraced many of his views.
Although Scofield’s training was in law and not in theology, he prepared his own study Bible with extensive interpretive notes placed throughout the Scriptures. The Bible, known popularly as the Scofield Reference Bible, was first published in 1909 and became the single most important means in the spread of ‘Dispensationalist teaching’. Many who have used this ‘interpreted’ Bible and its second, revised edition, tend to read the Scriptures in terms of the notes and interpretive comments found throughout its pages.
Despite the recent development of ‘Dispensational Premillennialism’, and despite some evidence of a waning of its influence and popularity, this understanding of the millennium remains the majority opinion among many conservative Christians, especially in North America."

THANK YOU. The World needs to understand how they have been deceived about almost everything. Sad to say but truthful: Christian Zionists are CHUMPS.
