There is much more of the article at the link.

I had to download the article and even print it out, since I took a few days to go through the entire monograph.

John Nelson Darby (18 November 1800 – 29 April 1882) was an Anglo-Irish evangelist, and an influential figure among the original Plymouth Brethren. He is considered to be the father of modern Dispensationalism. He produced a translation of the Bible based on the Hebrew and Greek texts called The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby.

Dispensationalism ping

Clearly not the last dispensation - or there would not be a future Kingdom on Earth with Christ physically reining on the seat of David...

I’ve read a lot of Darby. Good man.

If we place our trust in Christ, what does it matter what dispensation we are in? All things will happen in God’s good time, regardless of what we think we know or what we try to do to affect the timing.

Darby is the guy who came up with the whole “rapture” thing, by the way...

“If we place our trust in Christ, what does it matter what dispensation we are in?”

Here is a good reason: If an unbeliever picks up the Bible and starts to wonder what his Christian friend thinks of the MANY prophecy passages, it does little good for the Christian to tell the unbeliever a preterist interpretation.

Why?

Because the preterist interpretation is so common-sensically wrong, and the average reading person sees it from a mile away.

The unbeliever is then left to wonder if anything from the Bible is true at all as a result.

[fishtank]

Actually, the word “rapture” is derived from the Latin Vulgate from Jerome’s translation.

As a former Catholic, I know these things....

Enoch and Elijah got ‘raptured’ (taken up) as well.
