Eternal Life and Salvation From Wrath

Embedded Doctrinal Drift: A Historical Snapshot

Darby (1830s): Introduced dispensationalism and pre-tribulation rapture, shifting prophecy away from allusions towards personal transformation and toward distant predictions.

John Nelson Darby mistakenly viewed the revelation of Jesus as an external, future event rather than an internal reality for believers.

The passages in John 14:23 and Colossians 1:27, however, teach that through love and obedience, Christians experience the indwelling of the Father and the Son, and that “Christ in you” is the “hope of glory”.

Brookes (1830–1897): A Presbyterian minister and early dispensationalist, Brookes mentored C.I. Scofield and helped shape American pretribulational thought. His verse-by-verse expositions and leadership in the Niagara Bible Conference laid the groundwork for institutionalizing futurist eschatology.

Scofield (1909): Amplified Darby’s views via the Scofield Reference Bible, embedding them into American evangelical study habits.

Branham (1946–1965): Merged dispensational themes with charismatic revivalism, claiming prophetic authority and end-time revelation.

Seminary Adoption (1950s–present): These interpretations became institutionalized through theological education and popular media.

These views, once fringe, became mainstream— not through Scripture alone, but through repetition, institutional endorsement, and emotional appeal—often distorting the original context of prophetic texts.
