T The spread of Evangelicalism

                  and the End Times

                  The various movements that emerged within Protestantism up
                         th
             until the 18 century later settled in different parts of the world under
             the influence of colonialism. The most important of these was the North
             American continent. Evangelical thinking is known to have spread more
             rapidly following journeys to America by the Anglican clergyman John
             Nelson Darby. Darby's followers also described their movement as "dis-
             pensationalism."

                  The primary distinguishing feature of these people is their belief
             in the return of the Messiah in the End Days and in Doomsday. The
             conditions under which they believe the Messiah will return are as fol-

                  • Jerusalem being its capital;

                  • The rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon;

                                                           of the time.
