I can answer that.
The best author and scholar is Pastor
Robert Govett. There are a few of his Public Domain e-books in the list of "selected writings." Many consider him to be the eschatological pioneer and genius of the church age post Apostle Paul. He gathers scriptural insights from an incredible number of other writers.
His pastoral successor was
David M. Panton. I just read his book Rapture. It seems that no contemporary scholar can compare with his depth of understanding on this subject.
George H. Lang is another contemporary of Panton author who has also written extensively on prophecy, Daniel, Revelation, etc.
Unfortunately most of their books and writings became lost over time because they were not popular and widely accepted. Brother Schoettle (not sure if he is still alive) began
Schoettle Publishing Co after the Lord put it on his heart to make these Kingdom books available to the church.
20 years ago I talked to him about Lang's book,
The Churches of God. During the events recorded by John Ingalls in
Speaking The Truth In Love, it was this book which exposed WL's lies and provided much needed weapons of truth. He was on his way to England to obtain copyrights to reprint from the heirs of the above authors.
Both Nee and Lee plagiarized these authors. None of these authors were associated with Darby. B.W. Newton, who was so horribly censured by Darby in the first Brethren Division, was far advanced in his prophetic teachings. Actually the Brethren schism began when Newton refused to succumb to Darby's ideas on end time prophecy.
