This review is from: The Rapture Plot (Paperback)
"The Rapture Plot" is a very detailed book written after extensive research by Dave MacPherson. He uses numerous writings from the late 1820's up to the date of this book(1994).
There is no doubt that the pre-trib rapture hoax originated with Margaret MacDonald and was preached first by Edward Irving before Darby. The contortions of Scripture used throughout history to attempt to somehow authenticate pre-trib rapture are examined. Some of the phrases and the all too popular "symbolism" are also detailed. A few examples would be the notion that the "man-child" of Revelation 12:5 is the "mystical body of Christ"(Yahushua);the Church. Another extreme use of symbolism is the idea that when John was beckoned "come up hither" it was an invitation to the Church. MacPherson also wrote about the error that any prophecy that hadn't been fulfilled regarding Israel,Judah,Jerusalem,or Zion should be assigned in a figurative and spiritual sense to the Church. What Dave MacPherson does so well in "The Rapture Plot" is detail the written history of the pre-trib theory and the evolution of thought by some of the larger figures,especially John Darby and even some of today's writers. I highly recommend this book!!

Thorough study in a concise package,
By Stratiotes Doxha Theon "2 Thes 2:15" (Richmond, Missouri) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: The Rapture Plot (Paperback)
This concise yet thorough study concerning the origination of the dispationalist doctrine of "the rapture." This phenomena of heretical wishful thinking has permeated Christian churches of every denomination and even the popular media. But where did it come from and how did it spread so rapidly?
Working as historical detective, Dave MacPherson documents the evidence tracing this teaching back to its early 19th century source. It is a detailed enough for the serious historian yet brief enough for the merely curious. A great place to start any study of this bit of last days madness trivia. Yet it is serious business and a needed expose to correct the lunacy that seems to have gripped so much of American Christianity in particular. You will not want to put it down once you begin your own journey to the source. Very well done, insightful, and informative.
