The 1820s were a simpler time, sure, but that doesn't mean that folks lives' weren't filled with excitement and adventure! Well, not really, but if you got into a horse accident you now had the option to go on an exciting brain journey and invent a way of viewing God's Love in a whole new way. And, if you are lucky like John Nelson Darby, your ether addled brain ramblings could bring about what could be considered the "Modern Evangelical view of the Apocalypse". It just might take 120 years...

This is our deep dive into the roots of Dispensationalism aka basically the vibe of the Biblical end times that includes the rapture and and tribulation and is the "fact" for Left Behind's "fiction". Dispensationalism, on top of being a sorta fun word to say, is so much more than this episode could capture, and definitely way more than this description (that people don't read), so we look forward to doing future episodes like this on the infinite other topics that are brought up within Left Behind and Evangelical Apocalypse beliefs.
