John Nelson Darby was the central figure for the Exclusive Brethren cult and is considered by most historians to be the father of modern Dispensationalism and Futurism. The pre-tribulation rapture theology was widely adopted due to John Darby's influence, combined with Cyrus Scofield's usage of Darby's theology in the Scofield Reference Bible. Darby's eschatology was a central theme for the Latter Rain revivals as taught by William Branham, and is still being propagated through evangelical seminaries such as the Dallas Theological Seminary and respected religious figures such as Hal Lindsay and John Hagee. Darby had a profound influence on the founders of the Philadelphia College of the Bible, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, The Master's Seminary, Chafer Theological Seminary, The Criswell College, and Emmaus Bible College.
Quote:
Darby's teachings, ubiquitous in his voluminous writings and through his many discourses, influenced some who would later prove instrumental in the founding of institutions of theological higher education. Philadelphia College of the Bible, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, The Master's Seminary, Chafer Theological Seminary, The Criswell College, and Emmaus Bible College—to mention only a few of the better-known schools—all have theological roots in Darby.

William Branham introduced Darby's themes of Dispensationalism into the Latter Rain as "divine revelation," plagiarizing the works of Scofield, Clarence Larkin, and others who had adopted Darby's teachings. Among the books in William Branham's library was a series of books written by Charles Henry Mackintosh entitled Notes on the Pentateuch. Mackintosh was one of the key sources for the documentation and spreading of Darby's Theology.
