Let us not be dragged back into the shadows of unfulfilled prophecy and religious toil?
Darbyism needs to go away... all it has brought is death and destruction.
The eponymous "type" and saga of Joseph and his brothers is not Darbyism.
But it is intentional but as of yet unfulfilled Bible prophecy.
Despite the woefully and willfully ignorant denials.
