Yes, Darby influenced Scofield. Certain elements of Dispensationalism existed before Darby but he was the first person to do serious work systematizing those theological distinctives.

That's part of the reason I say that "modern day Dispensationalism is really nothing more than Zionism wearing Dispensationalism as a skinsuit". There's a lot more to Dispensational theology than dividing God's people into two groups but these days everything except literal interpretations of land promises has been abandoned and all you're left with is "the modern nation state of Israel is God's chosen people and if we don't given them infinite money God will curse us."

Supposedly, the theological groundwork for Darby's Dispensational theology originated from counter-reformation Jesuit priests defending the RCC against accusations of the pope being anti-Christ and the RCC being the "whore of Babylon" mentioned in Revelation.

If that is a pointed question expecting the response to be "the jews", I don't think there's evidence for that. After Darby, the jews definitely hijacked the Dispensational system of interpretation in the late 1800's because the rise of the Scofield Bible seems to coincide with Theodor Herzl's zionism.

Dispensationalism is trash. How useless. Obviously we are evolving and things change. Zero useful detail.
