Manuel Lacunza: A Founder of Modern Dispensationalism

Here is a Wikipedia article which will provide background on the man whose writings greatly influenced Edward Irving, J.N.Darby and, by extension, C.I. Scofield.

Manuel Lacunza - Wikipedia

 

The top line of the article,

"Manuel De Lacunza, S.J. (July 19, 1731 – c. June 18, 1801) was a Jesuit priest who used the pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra in his main work on the interpretation of the prophecies of the Bible, which was entitled The Coming of the Messiah in Majesty and Glory."

 

Wiki? Really?

 

OK. You don't like Wiki.

Try this article: The Coming of Messiah in Glory and Majesty by Manuel Lacunza

Or, go to your favorite search engine and plug his name in.
"Manuel De Lacunza"

 

Actually, it's a fact, Rev. A Jesuit!!! HILARIOUS!!!

 

Good luck with that

 

Thanks! I'm feeling lucky today!

Why so 'hilarious'? The Protestant movement is based upon the writings of Roman Catholics. Luther was an Augustinian monk. Big deal.

A few days ago I searched online for the "history of dispensationalism" and many of the articles did not mention, at all, the RC foundation. If they are not ashamed of Martin Luther, are they ashamed of Mr. De Lacunza or perhaps they are unaware of his existence? I was saved under the teachings of Hal Lindsey and later read several Dallas Seminary professors like Walvoord and Ryrie and there was no mention of De Lacunza or Ribera. They only mentioned Irving, Darby, and Scofield.

 

Here is a video about the book Edward Irving translated into English.
Edward Irving is considered a founding father of modern dispensationalism.

 

This is a Baptist Board old thread.

13 Reasons Why Not to Trust the Modern ‘Secret Rapture’ Theory

 

I'm curious of what is reputable source.

Chick Tracts? :D

 

Most modern pre-trib rapturists cite Tius 2:13 besides the key Biblical rapture text, 1 Thessalonians 4:17. [FYI I am post-trib pre-wrath pre-mill.] Not a secret rapture, with Titus 2:13.
