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-
lows:
• The foundation of a Jewish state in the Holy Land;
• Jerusalem being its capital;
• The rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon;
An 18 th century
cathedral and people
of the time.
