All this, and more, if we truly understood and experienced John Wesley’s eschatology. <br /> </p> <p class="firstpara">Know it or not, and like it or not, friends, it’s the entrenched crazy ideas of Darbyism that are now giving the modern Wesleyan Holiness movement its fits. May God open our eyes.</p>  <p align="right" class="nav"><a href="where_john_wesleys_understanding_of_eschatology_will_take_us.html">Return To Top</a> <span class="dingbat">|</span> <a href="../Outlines/outline_on_Wesleys_eschatology.html">Return To Theme Link</a></p>  <p class="title">Related Article Links </p> <p class="subtitle"><a href="a_needed_paradigm_shift.html">A Needed Paradigm Shift</a><a href="a_mighty_revival_is_sweeping_this_way.html"><br /> </a><a href="a_mighty_revival_is_sweeping_this_way.html">A Might Revival Is Sweeping This Way</a></p> </div> <div id="footer"> <p align="center" class="footer">"Everybody ought to know the truth of Christ's return"</p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
