  dirnOnline: John Darby Nelson
Darby addressed in his earliest writing the heavenly nature of the church and the need for it to be unencumbered with earthly things.
Darby is remembered especially for his recalling the church to expectancy for its rapture at the return of the Lord before Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Darby's order of end-time events may be grouped as follows: (1) the rapture and first resurrection, (2) postrapture events in heaven, (3) postrapture events on earth, (4) the millennial kingdom, (5) postmillennial events, and (6) the eternal state.

 The Brethren Writers' Hall of Fame
While Darby's call for a radical response to the apostate condition of the church was met with relative indifference, his teachings on eschatological themes were heartily embraced and provided much of the substance for the Bible conference movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Darby insists that "Nothing is more prominently brought forward in the New Testament than the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." He points out that it was the promise of Christ's return which was first offered to the sorrowing disciples as they witnessed the ascension of their Lord as recorded in Acts 1:11.

Darby is called by many the father of modern dispensational theology, a theology made popular first by the Scofield Reference Bible[7] and more recently by the Ryrie Study Bible.
Darby was unswerving in his belief that the Bible was the inspired, infallible Word of God, absolutely authoritative[8] and faithfully transmitted from the original autographs.
For Darby, "the Person of Christ regarded as risen," is the pivot around which "all the truths found in the word revolve."[16] "Many have, perhaps, been able, in looking at the Church's hope in Christ," says Darby, "to see the importance of the doctrine of the resurrection.

Darby's distinctive premillennial views were inevitably influenced by those of a similar persuasion whom he met at the prophetic conferences held near Dublin under the sponsorship of Lady Powerscourt in the early 1830's, which came to be shaped by his dominating and charismatic leadership.
Darby is pointedly correct in stating that this came to him as a new truth, since it is not to be found in theological literature prior to his proclamation of it.
Darby admitted as much that his doctrine of the rapture was an innovation, the result of 'express revelation', indeed he seemed quite pleased with the reaction to it.

The name "Nelson" was derived from the connection between his uncle, Henry Darby, commander of the "Bellerophon" in the battle of the Nile, and the famous admiral, Lord Nelson.
Darby, constrained by the Scriptural view of the Church as independent of the State, relinquished his parochial position in 1827, and in the next year completed his separation from the Establishment by "breaking bread" in Dublin with some of the above-named associates.

 Origins of Modern Premillennialism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Darby, known as the father of dispensationalism, invented the doctrine claiming there were not one, but two "second comings." This teaching was immediately challenged as unbiblical by other members of the Brethren.
Thus, the doctrine of the separation of Israel and the Church, the foundation of dispensationalism, was born out of Darby's attempt to justify his newly fabricated rapture theory with the Bible.
In his 1965 d-ism book, Darby defender Charles Ryrie viewed this distinction as the most important basis for d-ism, adding in his 1981 rapture book that it led Darby to his church/Israel "dichotomy," that is, a pretrib rapture separating the two groups during a future tribulation.

 Dispensational Fundamentalism
John Nelson Darby (November 18, 1800 - April 29, 1882) developed and organized futurism into a system of prophetic teaching called dispensationalism and is claimed to have originated the secret rapture theory wherein Christ will remove his true believers from this world without warning.
Because the writings of these men did not always agree on specifics, and because individual commentators have had their own beliefs, the actual history of dispensationalism and its many streams continues to be a controversial subject.
Present Truth Publishers, 1991: claims that Darby first began to believe in the pre-tribulation rapture and develop his dispensational thinking while convalescing from a riding accident during December 1826 and January 1827, providing evidence that Darby was not influenced by Margaret Macdonald, Lacunza, Edward Irving, or any of the Irvingites.

 John Nelson Darby
There is no available record of John Nelson Darby (November 18, 1800 - April 29, 1882) having any masonic association, nor is there any reason to suggest that he may have been a freemason.
It is curious though, since many of the attacks on Freemasonry come from Dispensational Fundamentalists, that one of their leaders would use Freemasonry to illustrate his teachings.
But the proposed remedy is the mere pretension of the superiority of the recusant lodge, and a dissolution of Freemasonry.

 The Mystery of the Cross
John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), of an aristocratic Anglo-Irish family-there is even a family castle in Ireland-gave up all to follow Christ.
Since nearly all of these doctrines-not to mention the Free Grace position, which Darby also advocated-are under attack today, it is no wonder that Darby is widely maligned.
Though overly lauded by his devotees and overly lambasted by his detractors, Darby was, as nearly all admit, totally sold-out to Christ.
