In Great Britain, there was a sect called the Plymouth Brethren and
They were a very radical sect John Nelson Darby was a I guess you would describe him as a disgruntled
Anglican
Cleric it actually was pushed out of the angle. Yes pushed out of the Anglican Communion
There was nothing especially radical about dividing history into periods what separated Darby's dispensationalism
Was his novel method of biblical interpretation very novel
You know
Dispensations only mentioned four times in the Bible. He put seven
Probably no Christian thinker in the last 200 years has so affected the way in which English-speaking Christians
View their faith and yet has received so little recognition of his contribution as John Nelson Darby
And John Nelson Darby was a man that lived in the 1800s who they would actually coin as being the father of
Dispensationalism here's all you need to know about this man. All right, he
Translated his own Bible. Here's the biggest problem. He made his own Bible. I
Mean that's you're done at that point now people they go against
Dispensationalism because the reason why they will go against
Dispensationalism is because Schofield. He was when he published his
Reference Bible it was part of some kind of Illuminati conspiracy. They're gonna say
They're gonna go against Darby because he has his own reference Bible
So it's not the King James Version now you say well, you know what's wrong with the Bible
I mean, you know, I'm sure he went to the Texas Receptus, you know, and he got I mean they should align somewhat
Well, let's look how much they align in Romans chapter 3 and verse 1 the King James Bible says what advantage
Then hath the Jew or what prophet is there of the circumcision?
So when the Bible said what advantage has the Jew in other words just talking about that the oracles of God obviously were given to
Them they had received the laws of God
They had an advantage in the fact that they knew God and understood God
Right. The Word of God was revealed to the Hebrews in the Old Testament
That's the advantage that they had God gave them the Word of God and he committed unto them the responsibility
To propagate the Word of God throughout the whole earth to evangelize the Gentiles. That's the advantage
now keep in mind that one of the heresies of
Dispensationalism is Zionism. We know what happens to Israel. We those that follow the scriptures. It's very clear. Israel's not going away
You sense the hope with those people with the people of Israel. Do you sense that they understand the reality?
I because I do see this that they know God has a special plan for that country
Well, Jonathan Darby, look what he says what then is the superiority of the Jews or what is the prophet of circumcision now?
Hold on a second. What then is the superiority of the Jews the Bible doesn't say they're superior
The Bible says they had an advantage. He wants to show that the Jews are more superior than anybody else
It doesn't say superior says advantage, you know, but of course a Zionist would say oh, no, the Jews are superior to Gentiles
You know, we're just a bunch of dirty heathen Gentiles and they're superior than us
No, you know what? The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons. The Bible says that we're all made of one blood
He here's the thing. What's the difference between a Jew the Old Testament Jew and the the Gentiles?
Here's the difference the Jews had an advantage
They were given the oracles of God they were given the laws of God
But were they superior where they created better than the Gentiles? No, but not according to
John Darby, yeah, he's just off a little bit. Well strike one God's doing something now
But think about this now we are coming to love Israel and understand that God still has a purpose the church is
The Gentile Church I should say
