Fables & Myths Series #5: Margaret MacDonald's Dream in 1830 AD

MARGARET MACDONALD
Fifteen Year Old Girl [1]

A sickly, 15 year old Scottish girl, Christian for only a year, claimed to have a “secret rapture” vision. [Also said to  have  been  in  the  occult, including  a documented levitation!]
 
1831AD, ROBERT NORTON
 
Robert Norton, an Irvingite evangelist, meets Margaret Macdonald. Norton is captivated by her “secret pre tribulation rapture” vision so he spreads it all over England; and that’s how all the doctrinal pieces came together.

How is the enemy going to spread this doctrine throughout the Western Church? In 1909 AD  C.I. SCOFIELD [not to be confused with Ellis Skolfield] accepts Darby’s “Seven Year Tribulation” invention.

Three members of his revision committee resign because it could not be supported by the Bible, nevertheless, Scofield includes the Ribera‐Lacunza‐Macdonald‐Darby creation in the 1909 [and future editions] of the Scofield Bible.

The Scofield group knows true origin of the “seven‐year” and “pre tribulation” rapture views, but since Irvingites were known to be cultish, hide the knowledge from the public as this interpretation had great fund‐raising capability and it increased the sales of the Scofield annotated Bible.
