THE LIE ABOUT JOHN DARBY

Where The Lie Came From…

It came from Dave MacPherson who aggressively attacked the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine by attributing its origin to Margaret Macdonald, who supposedly gave a prophecy about the Rapture.

MacPherson claimed that John Nelson Darby secretly derived the pre-tribulation rapture position from her. This was the beginning of the MacDonald lie, a total fabrication which has set many a believer wrong. When John Darby first started writing about the pre-trib Rapture, he didn’t even know Margaret Macdonald.

. The so-called prophecy of Margaret MacDonald actually showed her timing to be post-tribulation. Margaret MacDonald Was Actually POST-Trib.

·  MacDonald’s vision was in 1830, 3 years after Darby’s correct conclusions about the pre-tribulation Rapture.

·  MacDonald was a member of a charismatic movement and John Darby went to investigate .
   He dismissed her “vision” as “demonic.”  If Darby thought MacDonald to be under an
  “evil spell,” why on earth would he use her writings to form some new doctrine?

·  MacDonald  said of the Tribulation:
    “…being the fiery trial which is to try us …for the purging and purifying of the members
   of the body of Jesus.”  She looked for the Church being purged by the Antichrist. This is
   not pre-trib belief. Pre-trib doctrine shows the Church being removed BEFORE THE

COMING of the Antichrist.
