Did Some Guy Named John Nelson Darby Invent the Rapture?

The Cross References Podcast with Luke Taylor: Episode 93

Every time I talk about the rapture, I’m told “you just believe the rapture because you follow John Nelson Darby.” But after years of being told I’m a disciple of John Nelson Darby, I finally researched who the guy is. And you get to benefit from that research if you listen to today’s episode.
