What Made John Nelson Darby So Famous?

What made John Nelson Darby so famous was the fact that Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921), a Kansas lawyer, who published his Scofield Reference Bible based largely on Darby’s writings and his Futurism also found in the writings of Todd, Maitland, Bellarmine and Ribera.  This greatly assisted the Jesuits in their endeavor to convince the world that the Antichrist was a future literal man who would bring about seven years of tribulation.  Wycliff, Huss, Luther, Knox and Wesley all declared Papacy was the Antichrist.  For a list of over eighty reformers who identified Papacy as Antichrist, check Reformers’ Interpretations of Anti-Christ.
