The philosophical failings of the Age of Reason sparked a religious response in the form of Christian mysticism in the 1800s. This era of highly subjective Biblical interpretation saw the rise of numerous quasi-Christian cults, including Christian Scientism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Seventh Day Adventism.
None of these rose to such prominence, however, as Dispensationalism, led by the Irish preacher John Nelson Darby. A man with no training in language, translation, or epistemology, Darby taught his followers to divide Biblical history into seven dispensations, culminating with the rapture of the Gentile church before seven years of tribulation, followed by a 1000-year reign of Christ and the Jews from the temple in earthly Jerusalem.
