The concept of "Rapture" was presented, by Darby, long after Jesus died. The most accurate translation of The Bible from ancient Greek is also attributed to this linguist.

The Darby Bible (DBY, formal title The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby) refers to the Bible as translated from Hebrew and Greek by John Nelson Darby. Darby published a translation of the New Testament in 1867 CE, with revised editions in 1872 and 1884.

In this - most accurate translation - Genesis repeatedly ascribes the plural name Elohim to the Divine Creator. Does this name imply both sexes comprise the Ultimate Creator?
