What Did Darby See?

As you may know, people who revile the doctrine of the pre-tribulation Rapture frequently resort to pinning what they view as a heretical doctrine on John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), an Anglo-Irish minister that they claim swiped the idea from the celebrated vision of a 15-year-old Scottish girl named Margaret MacDonald in 1830.

As I have discussed on various occasions over the years, however, this is simply not the case. Not true, never happened. End of story. And this can be readily established by historical writings of the period.

Not to mention the inconvenient fact that several statements Margaret MacDonald made in her vision blatantly contradict a pre-trib scenario.

The Blood of Bulls and Goats

If you're anything like me, you are anxiously looking forward to the Rapture and the events that follow it, especially the Millennial Kingdom. That's when we will literally rule and reign with Christ right here on good old terra firma, which will have been restored to a veritable paradise.

It seems, however, that many people within the Church, even among the small and dwindling percentage that rightly understand that there will even be such a thing as a Millennial Kingdom, don't fully grasp certain things about the coming kingdom that are given to us in Scripture, and that's the reason for this article.

10/20/2026: From the "My Two Shekels" Department...

Jordan Walker Ross is the actor who plays Little James in the popular television series "The Chosen," and apparently he has come out to urge others to do a little choosing themselves.

Ross came out recently and endorsed James Talarico for Senator in the hotly contested Senate race in Texas, where Democrat James Talarico is up against Republican Ken Paxton. As far as I can tell, the race is pretty much neck and neck...well within the margin of error.

According to Ross:

"A lot of politicians like to talk about Christian values, but you don't really see that reflected in their legislation or the way that they live, but you do see that in the way that James lives. He loves his neighbor; he takes care of the needy, the sick, the immigrant."

As soon as Ross came out with these glowing words in support of Talarico, however, a number of others came out with a somewhat different view of James Talarico. A spokesperson for Talarico's opponent Ken Paxton said:

"Everything about James Talarico is fake. He uses his beliefs to justify his most radical positions, all while calling himself 'a Christian who hates Christianity.' In Talarico's twisted version of Christianity, a follower of Christ is required to bend the knee at the altar of the radical trans agenda, disavow the oil and gas industry, support late-term abortion, and open the door to every criminal illegal immigrant seeking asylum. I'm still looking through the Bible to find those passages, but I wouldn't call it Christian."

And from what I have learned about James Talarico from my own research, I would agree. He crudely twists Scripture and biblical principles to create almost ludicrous support for liberal, left-wing policies and positions that no real, biblically knowledgeable Christian would support in a thousand years.

And the teaching Talarico grew up under says a lot about him as well. Talarico's life-long pastor and openly acknowledged mentor Rev. Jim Rigby at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas derisively mocks evangelical Christians, claiming that belief in angels, demons, hell, etc. prevent them from thinking rationally.

Video host at Media Research Center Brittany Hughes was sharply critical of Ross' gushing endorsement of Talarico, saying that playing the role of an apostle in a television series didn't make him an authority on the biblical teachings of Christianity:

"As is any American, Ross is free to vote for whatever candidate he chooses. But American voters aren't obligated to take a theological lesson from an actor simply because he plays an apostle on TV...It's a simple fact that many of Talarico's public positions are in total opposition to basic Christian principles—his support for so-called gender transitioning, for example, which is completely at odds with the biblical description of God having created us male and female separately and for separate purposes."

Personally, after learning as much as I have about James Talarico, I cringe at the thought of well-meaning Christians being taken in by Talarico's paper-thin veneer of Christianity that is as phony as a three-shekel coin, and the tricks and lies he is using to generate support for policies that spit in the face of genuine, Bible-based Christianity.

Just my two shekels.
