God bless you.

You may be aware of the writings of American journalist Dave MacPherson who has researched pretrib dispensationalism's history since 1970, producing many web articles and several books including his bestselling, heavily documented and highly endorsed work "The Rapture Plot." And you surely must know of the current rapture debate here in the States. MacPherson, BTW, recently revealed that he is no longer able to return for more research to Britain and he hopes that someone over there can check out what he said is the "Clement Boase Collection" of Irvingite material (British Library shelfmark 764.n.14). He was able to obtain via mail a copy from it of Margaret Macdonald's handwritten 1830 account of her pretrib rapture "discovery" and would especially like to obtain a copy of any old photograph of Dr. Robert Norton who later married Margaret. MacPherson also said he invites someone to take up where he left off and he is convinced that someone, like yourself, could easily produce a book many would want to obtain since the "rapture" is big business over here! Dave's Google articles include "X-Raying Margaret," "Margaret Macdonald's Rapture Chart," "Pretrib Rapture's Missing Lines," "Edward Irving is Unnerving," "Thomas Ice (Bloopers)," "The Unoriginal John Darby," "Deceiving and Being Deceived" (by D.M.), "More Facts About Margaret Macdonald," "Walvoord Melts Ice," "Pretrib Rapture Stealth," "Pretrib Hypocrisy," "Roots of Warlike Christian Zionism," "Scholars Weigh My Research" and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty." Dave writes that Margaret was the first to teach a pretrib rapture (privately) and that the Irvingites (in their journal "The Morning Watch" in Sep., 1830) were the first to teach it publicly, and that Darby didn't clearly teach it until 1839. He has all this documented in his "The Rapture Plot" which can probably be borrowed through inter-library loan there. I am glad to see you taking on John MacArthur who has obviously won the victory over humility! I agree with everything you stated above and I am a lifelong Bible prophecy buff. You are much needed and you are surely part of the wave of the future! London Bible College is a great school and I noted that Dave favorably quotes Dr. Harold Rowdon who wrote a terrific book on the origins of the Brethren. Thanks much for your perceptive and readable writings. God bless you much! Cordially, IrvIrvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634792243846422285noreply@blogger.com
