Changes

Dispensationalism came to dominate [[Premillennialism]] by 1900, that is the belief that the Bible teaches that Christ will return before setting up his millennial kingdom. Dispensationalism divides up human history into a series of dispensations, or periods of time of distinct revelation in which the revelations become more progressively complex as human history continues. The Dispensations are consecutive and sometimes certain previous revelations are discarded out of God's plan. Darby identified two distinct divine plans, one for an "earthly" people (Israel) and the other for a "heavenly" people (the Christian church). One key to this entire prophecy is the refounding of Israel as a nation state in Palestine.

Sandeen (1967) finds the roots of [[Fundamentalism]] in an alliance of two 19th-century theologies, Dispensationalism derived from the Plymouth Brethren movement and the ministry of [[John Nelson Darby]]. Believers in Dispensationalism held a view of the church as a small group separate from major ecclesiastical institutions and primarily a spiritual fellowship. Their emphasis on Biblical literalism and their view of history as divided into seven dispensations had considerable influence in American Calvinistic denominations in the latter part of the century. The [[Princeton Theology]] was a unique system constructed at Princeton Seminary by Archibald Alexander and [[Charles Hodge]]. It emphasized a pre-Kantian rationalistic methodology and Biblical inerrancy.

The two movements with certain similarities and a common foe in Modernism were drawn together in informal cooperation in a series of International Prophetic Conferences beginning in 1878.
