Publisher's Synopsis
John Nelson Darby had a very significant influence in evangelical Christian circles in the nineteenth century. His legacy continues to this day. A former lawyer and Church of Ireland vicar, he came to eschew earthly hierarchical churches as human organisations whereas the true Church, the Body of Christ here is a heavenly vessel awaiting her call at the rapture - her true hope. Be it soon! Darby has been described as the father of pre-millennial (pre-tribulation) dispensationalism. Darby travelled extensively and wrote much. This book - including simplified summaries of some of his prophetic writings, is for lovers of our Lord Jesus who wish to understand God's plans better. This includes the role of the Church, Israel, the forces of evil and the tribulation, leading up to the millennial kingdom here, the final judgment and blessed eternal state - 'The tabernacle of God is with men'.
