Here is but one small token of what mean:
"We are not boasting that we have seen the picture of God’s eternal purpose, for we are standing on others’ shoulders to see this vision. We thank God for those who have gone before us. Many great teachers are our support. We are standing on the shoulders of John Nelson Darby, Darby stood on the shoulders of Count von Zinzendorf, and Zinzendorf stood on the shoulders of Martin Luther. We have gone higher, not by ourselves but by standing on all the foregoing great teachers. The divine book has never been as open and clear to the church as it is today. Even twenty years ago the Bible was not as clear to us as it is today. It took us more than forty years to properly place some of the pieces of the puzzle. It is because of the Lord’s mercy and grace that today we are able to see and speak of God’s eternal purpose, which is to work Himself into all of His chosen people as their life, nature, and everything that they may be fully saturated by and with God Himself. This purpose can be seen in Ephesians 3:17, which says, “That Christ may make His home in your hearts.” Christ making His home in our hearts is the experience of God working Himself into us to fulfill His eternal purpose."

Darby
stood on the shoulders of Count von Zinzendorf?
Any evidence for this?
Why not his fellow countrymen Whitefield and the Wesleys?
Never!
Darby doubtfully stood on anyone's shoulders. There were few brothers he even respected. Anthony Groves, Chapman, and Henry Craik maybe. Maybe.
