John Nelson Darby Marked His Doctrinal Writings With Theosophical Terms

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), the "Father of Dispensationalism,"used occult language throughout his doctrinal writings and letters.The majority of the phrases are found in Kabbalistic/Theosophicalliterature. J.N. Darby learned these esoteric terms somewhere—notfrom the Bible—and he deliberately integrated them into histheological treatises and letters. His practice of merging Theosophicalvocabulary with supposedly biblical teaching is a form of syncretism.(It is also a red flag.) Syncretism is the merging or union of conflictingreligious beliefs which forms a new religious philosophy.

(Note: The fact that Mr. Darby died six years before Theosophy's co-founder, Helena Blavatsky published her masterwork, The SecretDoctrine, has no bearing upon his use of Theosophy-specific termsand ideas. Theosophy is ancient (1) and originates with Satan, notwith H.P. Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott. (2)

Do you really believe the Holy Spirit led J.N. Darby and other Brethrenleaders to use Luciferian terms to refer to God and teach supposedly"recovered" biblical truths? (3)

Darby used some of these phrases frequently but for the sake ofbrevity I have cited one reference from Theosophy writings and onereference from Darby's writings for each term.

The Absolute

Theosophy and the Absolute

The Absolute is a Theosophical term for God.

The following is Helena Blavatsky's description of the Absolute in The SecretDoctrine:

The Absolute: “An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and ImmutablePRINCIPLE on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power

Page 5: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression orsimilitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought — in the words ofMandukya, ‘unthinkable and unspeakable.’” (Secret Doctrine I pg. 14)http://users.ez2.net/nick29/theosophy/lessons04.htm

Darby and the Absolute

John Darby used the word, Absolute (with capitals to indicate a title) in referenceto God:

"The essential being of Godhead cannot change, as is evident - the Absolute, asmen speak - and whatever His humiliation, all the fulness of the Godhead(theotetos) dwelt in Him bodily." Quote source: The Humiliation of Christ byJ. N. Darbyhttp://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/NOTESCOM/42023_9E.html

Architect

Theosophy and Architect

"The occultist, however, works there; he becomes a consciousdirecting agent; he creates upon the physical plane that which hedesires, and that which he desires is the pattern of [244] things andthe design laid down upon the trestle board of the spiritualconsciousness by the great divine Architect."

http://www.sanctusgermanus.net/ebooks/Glamour--A%20World%20Problem%20by%20Alice%20A.%20Bailey.pdf

Darby and Architect

John Darby used the Masonic/Theosophical word, Architect (with capitals toindicate a title) in reference to God:

But we need a "Faithful Witness." We see God in nature that is true, but all thisknowledge does not lead man to God. Man has spoilt all. The traces of God, of theArchitect, are there; but it is a ruin. All is defiled from His mind; all is in degradation.http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/PRACTICE/16024_7E.html

Page 6: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Heavenly Architect

Theosophy and the heavenly architect

"And then he desired him to bring his army, which, from respect, had been encamped ata distance, and he called on the heavenly architect, Vishvakarma, to come and buildhim lodgings for Bharata and his followers, and to various Deities to aid him inshowing due hospitality." Quoted from Shri Ramachandra by Theosophist AnnieBesant http://www.levir.com.br/theotext.php?cod=00900

Darby and the heavenly Architect

"It is life; that is, Christ, as having, as Son, life in and from the life of the living God,life divine, life in Himself (proved in resurrection), which is the foundation andsecurity of the assembly built by the heavenly Architect, against which he who has thepower of death, Satan, cannot prevail." ("Heavenly Architect" is also a Masonic term.)

Quoted from The House of God; the Body of Christ; and the Baptism of the HolyGhost. J. N. Darbyhttp://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/ECCLESIA/14002E.html

Vital Force

The occult and vital force

Seventh Day Adventist Ellen G. White favored the occult term, "vital force."Vital Force is a foundational concept in New Age doctrine. Vital Force is another namefor Chi which is commonly known in the West as life force, vital force, universalenergy, subtle energy, etc.

Darby and vital force

"All suffering was over for Him at His death; and in His resurrection all is new for us!all our sins are forgiven, and we are with Him in God's presence, and when He comeswe shall be like Him in glory. But though He died it was not because His vital forcewas exhausted. He cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost." -- JN Darbyhttp://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/EXPOSIT/24033_6E.html

[Note: John Darby used the term, "vital force" the same way that occult practitionersdo.]

Page 7: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Divine Mind

Theosophy and the Divine mind

H. P. BLAVATSKY defined Occultism as “the study of the Divine Mind in Nature”.Quote source: Occultism by Annie Besant http://www.anandgholap.net/AP/Occultism-AB.htm

Darby and divine mind

In spiritual subjects, it is the object of much distinct converse in them to be able topresent them primarily and vividly, so as to lead the way to fuller investigation of thedivine mind.

Divine Being

Theosophy and the Divine Being

Theosophist Alice Bailey stated that the Seven Rays that reach us on Earth locallyoriginate within the "Solar Logos," i.e., the consciousness of the "Divine Being" of theSun. http://www.new-age-center.com/article/seven-rays-in-theosophy

Darby and divine Being

Christians are brought into connection with the divine Being Himself, and in acts whichought to have the most powerful effect on the heart and conscience; if they do not, boththe one and the other are in a bad state and hardened.http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/2timothy/2timothy2.html

Divine Essence

Theosophy and divine essence

The fundamental teaching of the ancient wisdom is the spiritual unity of all things.Blavatsky writes: ". . . 'not only humanity -- composed as it is of thousands of races --but everything that lives is made of the same essence and substance, is animated by thesame spirit, and consequently, everything in nature is bound in solidarity.' Rejecting theidea of a God existing outside nature, theosophy speaks of an all-pervading divineessence, an infinite ocean of consciousness, from which all things are born and towhich they ultimately return." http://davidpratt.info/hpb.htm

Page 8: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Darby and divine essence

"No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of theFather, he hath declared him." He knew, and saw, as One familiar and at ease with theFather and the Holy Ghost, with the glory of the Godhead. He was Himself in the unityof the divine essence."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/EVANGEL/21016_9E.html

Divine Energy

Theosophy and Divine Energy

"All human history and all human temperaments, all ways to serve and all ways to joy,are seen as manifestations of one or another of the seven "rays" which channel divineenergy into the life of the world."http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/s/seven_rays_of_theosophy.html

Darby and Divine Energy

"There is a power which takes us, as it were, out of ourselves, where God is in divineenergy, but there is a calculation of love which is divine too."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/letters/51176E.html

Unintelligent Energy

Theosophy and Unintelligent Energy

"It is evidently first apparent as a blind force seeking the light of self-perception andfrom this it arises that we are often puzzled by the appearance of an apparentunintelligent energy, known to us as the law of necessity usurping the control of theUniverse." (Theosophical review, Volume 6 Googlebooks.com)

Darby and Unintelligent Energy

"When the carnal and unintelligent energy of Peter employs force to defend Him, who,if He would, had only needed to have gone away when a word from His lips had castdown to the ground all those who came to take Him, and the word that revealed to themthe object of their search deprived them of all power to seize it."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/john/john18.html

Page 9: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Energy of Faith

Theosophy and energy of faith

"The weak point and vicious aspect of the arrangement is that people, notunderstanding the real meaning of these rituals, have come to perform them quitemechanically, and the energy of faith has evaporated leaving behind the scum of blind-belief. So to-day the religious actions and exercises are in greatest measure a farce, naymore, a blasphemy."

http://www.blavatsky.net/magazine/theosophy/ww/additional/ancientlandmarks/TheTempleOfKnowledge-2.html

Darby and the energy of faith

If God has shewn that He took notice of His servant's fault, and did not pass it lightlyover, He did not fail towards him in either tenderness or faithfulness. He acted towardshim as towards a beloved and faithful servant, even at the moment in which He madehim sensible of his failure in the energy of faith; for He did not make others aware of it,although He has communicated it to us for our instruction.http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/2kings/2kings1.html

Secret Wisdom of God

Kabbalah and the secret wisdom of God

"According to tradition, the Kabbalah is the secret wisdom of God, first given to Adamand Moses and passed on orally from teacher to student down through the ages to thepresent." http://www.lumen.org/issue_contents/contents03.html

Darby and the secret wisdom of God

"The church continues, if you take the secret wisdom of God; if you take the revealedstatement of God, there is no intimation of remaining here. You will never find thechurch contemplated as remaining, so as to put off the coming of the Lord."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/EXPOSIT/26020-6E.html

Divine Principle

Page 10: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Theosophy and the divine principle

"We believe in a universal divine principle, the root of all, from which all proceeds,and within which all shall be absorbed at the end of the great cycle of being" (ibid.,p. 63).http://www.greatcom.org/resources/handbook_of_todays_religions/01chap08/default.htm

Darby and the divine principle

"In the case which has led to these remarks, it is striking to see how this principleelevates the slave in his condition: he obeys by an inward divine principle, asthough it were Christ Himself whom he obeyed." (Quote source: John NelsonDarby's Synopsis of the Bible Ephesians Chapter 6:http://stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/ephesians/ephesians6.html)

Divine Doctrine

Theosophy and the divine doctrine

"To continue the tradition, we have to add that the class of hierophants wasdivided into two distinct categories:*** those who were instructed by the 'Sons ofGod,' of the island, and who were initiated in the divine doctrine of pure revelation;and others who inhabited the lost Atlantis -- if such must be its name -- and who,being of another race, (born sexually but of divine parents), were born with asight, which embraced all living things, and was independent of both distance andmaterial obstacle." (Term used by Helena Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine--Vol.2)http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sd/sd2-1-12.htm

Darby and the divine doctrine

"It is beautiful to see the way in which divine doctrine enters into the details of life,and throws the fragrance of its perfection into every duty and every relationship;how it acknowledges existing things, as far as they can be owned and directed byits principles, but exalts and enhances the value of everything according to theperfection of those principles; by touching not the relationships but the man'sheart who walks in them; taking the moral side, and that of submission, in loveand in the exercise of authority which the divine doctrine can regulate, bringing inthe grace which governs the use of the authority of God." J. N. Darby(http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/ephesians/ephesians6.html)

Page 11: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Vital Principle

Theosophy and vital principle

H. P. Blavatsky wrote in 1888:

The "wave motion of living particles" becomes comprehensible on the theory of aSpiritual ONE LIFE, of a universal Vital principle independent of our matter, andmanifesting as atomic energy only on our plane of consciousness. (The Secret DoctrineII, 672.) http://www.blavatsky.net/magazine/theosophy/ww/setting/physics.html

Darby and vital principle

"The aggressive action which is the vital principle of all dissenting energy, be it forgood or for evil, its professed disconnection with the State, debars it from this place."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/DOCTRINE/15016E.html

Vital Energy

Theosophy and vital energy

"Most people who have taken the Seven Ray Intensive report life-changing adjustmentsto their path and an increase of vital energy and spiritual connectedness."http://www.thelotus.org/7rays.html

Darby and vital energy

"Moreover, here is the emphasis, the point of association as the communion of all vitalenergy, the standard and communication of fulness, and thus all fulness is there. But asthe branch bears nothing out of the vine, but withers itself, so we bear no fruit but asabiding in Christ, and this practically proportionately, for all the fulness is in Him."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/NOTESCOM/47015E.html

Energy of Love

Theosophy and energy of love

"Bailey wrote of "the return of the Christ", but her concept had little in common with that of mainstreamChristian churches. Bailey almost always used the phrase "the Christ" when not referring specifically to

Page 12: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

the Christian idea. For her, the leadership of the Hierarchy is an "office" (so to speak), to be occupied byvarious Masters, including the Master Jesus, in the course of Their unfolding evolution. She saw theChrist as a great "Person", embodying the energy of love, and His return as the awakening of that energyin human consciousness."http://www.inplainsite.org/html/alice_bailey_and_lucis_trust.html

Darby and energy of love

"For here it seems to be, in the largest sense, the love of God. Of course, it means God'sloving us; but it includes also the blessed fact that no matter what the state of evil maybe, as long as the Lord leaves His Church here, there is room for this energy of love toothers." http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/New7_96/Jude_20-25.html

Lord of Love

Theosophy and Lord of Love

"He is known to be the great Lord of Love and Compassion, the Master of the Masters,the Instructor of the Angels and the "One for Whom all the nations wait." And, thisGreat Being is also known under such additional titles as the True Aquarian, thePilgrim, the Healer and the Thinker.” Bailey, Alice A. The Reappearance of the Christ,p 190http://www.inplainsite.org/html/alice_bailey_and_lucis_trust.html

Darby and Lord of Love

"But the patience of the Lord of love is never wearied by theobstinate perverseness of His people."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/EVANGEL/12001E.html

Divine Intelligence

Theosophy and divine intelligence

Alice Bailey: "On theological interpretations there are wide differences; on a widespreadrecognition of a universal divine Intelligence or of God (by whatever name the all-embracing Life maybe called) there is a general similarity of reaction."http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/externalisation/exte1087.html

Darby and divine intelligence

"The three parables which follow (v. 44-50) shew the intention of Christ, and divineintelligence, in these things. The field is purchased to obtain the treasure. Christ has

Page 13: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

bought (not redeemed) the world to possess His own. His power over those who refuseHis rights will be manifested in judgment, but this is not the subject of the parable."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/MISCELLA/33012F.html

Coming One

Theosophy and the Coming One

"Forgetting the things that lie behind, I will strive towards my higher spiritualpossibilities. I dedicate myself anew to the service of the Coming One and will do all Ican to prepare men's minds and hearts for that event. I have no other life intention."Discipleship in the New Age.Vol.11, p.226 http://newlight.org.nz/roc/quotes.htm

Darby and the Coming One

The axe is at the root of the trees, the fan is in the hand of the coming One, the wheat isgathered into God's garner, the chaff burnt up. That is, there is a close of the history ofGod's people in judgment.http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/matthew/matthew3.html

Below are some other Theosophical terms J.N. Darby and/or other Brethrenleaders used in their theological works. (This list is not exhaustive.)

white light as used by Brethren preacher W.G. Turner: "In the presence of thatintensely white light, the differences in degree of guilt between the woman and heraccusers vanished, as each man realised his own unfitness to undertake the office ofexecuting judgment on a fellow sinner."http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/turner/WGT_Christian_Life.html

(1) Books on ancient Theosophy (See: http://www.ultindia.org/ancient_books.html)

(2) When asked if Theosophy was just a new-fangled religion, Helena Blavatskyreplied,

“It is not. Theosophy is Divine Knowledge or Science.”

She also referred to it as “Divine Wisdom,” explaining that Theosophy forms the

“…substratum and basis of all the world-religions and philosophies, taught andpractised since man became a thinking being. In its practical bearing, Theosophyis purely divine ethics.”

(Quote source: Revealing the New Age Movement)

". . . those who still cling to the old way, and refuse to accept the new vibrations, such individuals will notbe able to withstand the higher vibrations flowing over the entire Earth Planet, itself. The LOWER FORMS[those who cling to the old way!] upon Earth WILL BE REMOVED. They will go through the change fromthe PHYSICAL, solid body to the SPIRIT body."

Alice Bailey, in an address at the Arcane School Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, suggested that the"Shamballa force"-the force from the invisible dimensions led by the Lord Maitreya-will be "destructive."It will also, she said, eject unbelievers from the earth: "The decision to release the Shamballa force duringthis century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts ofpreparation for the New Age. The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective ... inspiring newunderstanding of The Plan....It is this force ... which will bring about that tremendous crisis, the initiation ofthe race into the mysteries of the ages.

(7) Theosophists do not believe in the bible doctrine of "the end of the world."Rather, they believe (as did Plymouth Brethren leaders John Darby, ThomasNewberry and their American agent, Cyrus Scofield), in the doctrine of the"consummation of the age":

John Nelson Darby Waited for "TheComing One"

John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren Movementand an early, integral player in the modern Bible versionsmovement marked his translation and his doctrinal writings withthe title of the same "Christ" New Agers/occultists are waiting for:"the coming One."

The phrase, "The coming One" is used by New Agers all over theworld as they seek to invoke their Christ to return to earth:

From the point of Love within the Heart of GodLet love stream forth into the hearts of men.May The Coming One return to Earth.

(Quoted from the Great Invocation:1940 and 2000)

Below are selected citations of John Darby's use of theTheosophical term, "coming One" in reference to the Lord JesusChrist or Jehovah. Observe that John Darby marked his Synopsisof the books of the Bible repeatedly with the term, "the comingOne," thus associating the title of Antichrist with the true God ofthe Holy Bible.

We at the close have all the responsibility. The vision and theblessing was from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come."Who is" is the immutable being of God. Thus time is brought inin connection with Him who is eternal - the coming One - who is,was, and is coming. (1)

One who was (had revealed Himself in previous ages to the earthor to men, to the Abrahams and Moseses of old time), and at thesame time was the coming One who would make good everythingrevealed of and by Himself. (2)

The axe is at the root of the trees, the fan is in the hand of thecoming One, the wheat is gathered into God's garner, the chaffburnt up. That is, there is a close of the history of God's people injudgment. (3)

True faith, in the midst of such a system, never rises so high asthe glory of the coming One, the true rejected David, but it lovesHim and cleaves to Him. (4)

Innocence, man without law and lawless, promise coming in as athing apart, man under law, under priesthood, obedient royalty

Page 24: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

with law, sovereign unlimited royalty over the world, prophets torecall to law and to foretell the coming One and judgments, andat last the Seed of promise, grace in the world — this is history,history as it appears in fact in scripture, yet principles of dealingwith man which test him morally in every way, and bring out thewhole state in which he is, in which I am, before God; yet theconnection of one part with another no one of the writers couldhave had in his mind, or does not refer to. (5)

They celebrate the Creator-God, the governor of the world, theGod of the Old Testament; what He is outside Christianity,consequently for the world, whether the world or Israel; theAlmighty, Jehovah, the coming One, the God who is coming, asHe is the God who was. (6)

The character of God here is Jehovah, the Ancient of days, whois, and who was, and is the coming One. (7a)

{*The reading is this: "I am Alpha and Omega, saith the LordGod, the One who is, and who was, and who is the coming One,the Almighty."} (7b)

But the whole statement is all a blunder. This age is beforeMessiah, "the coming one" when He is revealed, but two only areadmitted in the passage. (8)

He presents Himself in Nazareth, His natural home on earth asthe fulfilment of the coming one in its moral blessing. (9)

And this is one great truth of what I may call the translation of thename in the Apocalypse; not "who was, and is, and is to come," but"who is" (o on), "who was" the God known of old, the promiserwithal, and who is the "coming one" o erchomenos, when He will beAncient of days, and Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, andHis name known (even that Jehovah, and Jehovah alone, is so) overall the earth. (10)

John Nelson Darby waited for "the coming One," (who is alsoidentified as "the Christ", World Teacher and is coming in theflesh) and looked forward to what Theosophists refer to as the"consummation of the age."

[Note: The phrase, "the coming One"—in reference toJesus Christ or Jehovah—is found in the writings ofother Brethren theologians as well.]

John Darby's Pre-Tribulation Rapture Alterations tothe Bible

John Nelson Darby inserted a message of imminence into many prophetic verses ofscripture.

King James Bible John Darby Version

¶ The elders which areamong you I exhort, whoam also an elder, and awitness of the sufferings ofChrist, and also a partakerof the glory that shall berevealed:

1 Pet. 5:1 ¶ The elders which [are]among you I exhort, who [amtheir] fellow-elder and witnessof the sufferings of the Christ,who also [am] partaker of theglory about to be revealed:

For the Son of man shallcome in the glory of hisFather with his angels;and then he shall rewardevery man according tohis works.

Mathew 16:27 For the Son of man is aboutto come in the glory of hisFather with his angels, andthen he will render to eachaccording to his doings.

¶ I charge thee thereforebefore God, and the LordJesus Christ, who shalljudge the quick and thedead at his appearing andhis kingdom;

2 Tim. 4:1 ¶ I testify before God andChrist Jesus, who is about tojudge living and dead, and byhis appearing and hiskingdom,

And as he reasoned ofrighteousness,temperance, andjudgment to come, Felixtrembled, and answered,Go thy way for this time;when I have a convenientseason, I will call for thee.

Acts 24:25 And as he reasonedconcerning righteousness, andtemperance, and thejudgment about to come,Felix, being filled with fear,answered, Go for the present,and when I get an opportunityI will send for thee;

Watch ye therefore, andpray always, that ye maybe accounted worthy toescape all these things

Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, praying atevery season, that ye may beaccounted worthy to escapeall these things which are

about to come to pass, and tostand before the Son of man

But we trusted that it hadbeen he which shouldhave redeemed Israel: andbeside all this, to day isthe third day since thesethings were done.

Luke 24:21 But *we* had hoped that*he* was the one who isabout to redeem Israel. Butthen, besides all these things,it is now, to-day, the thirdday since these things tookplace.

But a certain fearfullooking for of judgmentand fiery indignation,which shall devour theadversaries.

Heb. 10:27 but a certain fearfulexpectation of judgment, andheat of fire about to devourthe adversaries.

For verily, when we werewith you, we told youbefore that we shouldsuffer tribulation; even asit came to pass, and yeknow.

1 Thess. 3:4 for also, when we were withyou, we told you beforehandwe are about to be intribulation, even as also itcame to pass, and ye know.)

Write the things whichthou hast seen, and thethings which are, and thethings which shall behereafter;

Rev. 1:19 Write therefore what thouhast seen, and the things thatare, and the things that areabout to be after these.

Fear none of those thingswhich thou shalt suffer:behold, the devil shall castsome of you into prison,that ye may be tried; andye shall have tribulationten days: be thou faithfulunto death, and I will givethee a crown of life.

Rev. 2:10 Fear nothing [of] what thouart about to suffer. Behold,the devil is about to cast ofyou into prison, that ye maybe tried; and ye shall havetribulation ten days. Be thoufaithful unto death, and I willgive to thee the crown of life.

Because thou hast keptthe word of my patience, Ialso will keep thee fromthe hour of temptation,which shall come upon allthe world, to try them that

Page 28: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

dwell upon the earth. that dwell upon the earth.

[John Darby changed JesusChrist's stated promise ofkeeping believers who keepthe word of his patience"FROM the hour ofTEMPTATION" to the corruptGreek text's false promise:keeping believers "OUT of thehour of TRIAL." Darby'sinsertion of the words, "out,""trial," and "about" promotethe Brethren's innovative,imminent return of Christ,pre-trib doctrine.]

So then because thou artlukewarm, and neithercold nor hot, I will spuethee out of my mouth.

Rev. 3:16 Thus because thou artlukewarm, and neither coldnor hot, I am about to spuethee out of my mouth.

And white robes weregiven unto every one ofthem; and it was said untothem, that they shouldrest yet for a little season,until their fellowservantsalso and their brethren,that should be killed asthey were, should befulfilled.

Rev. 6:11 And there was given to them,to each one a white robe; andit was said to them that theyshould rest yet a little while,until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren,who were about to be killedas they, should be fulfilled.

And I beheld, and heardan angel flying throughthe midst of heaven,saying with a loud voice,Woe, woe, woe, to theinhabiters of the earth byreason of the other voicesof the trumpet of the threeangels, which are yet tosound!

Rev. 8:13 And I saw, and I heard aneagle flying in mid-heaven,saying with a loud voice, Woe,woe, woe, to them that dwellupon the earth, for theremaining voices of thetrumpet of the three angelswho are about to sound.

The beast that thousawest was, and is not;and shall ascend out of thebottomless pit, and go intoperdition:

Rev. 17:8 The beast which thou sawestwas, and is not, and is aboutto come up out of the abyssand go into destruction:

Page 29: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

And to wait for his Sonfrom heaven, whom heraised from the dead, evenJesus, which delivered usfrom the wrath to come.

[The KJV says Jesusdelivered us from thewrath to come.]

1 Thess. 1:10 and to await his Son from theheavens, whom he raisedfrom among the dead, Jesus,our deliverer from the comingwrath.

[Pre-trib doctrineinserted into scripture:Christians who walk after theSpirit (and thus haveassurance of security inChrist) are already deliveredfrom the wrath (hell) to come.Darby wanted Christians tothink the "coming wrath"meant the Tribulation. TheBible clearly distinguishesbetween tribulation andwrath.

The enemy that sowedthem is the devil; theharvest is the end of theworld; and the reapers arethe angels.

Matthew 13:39 and the enemy who hassowed it is the devil; and theharvest is the completion ofthe age, and the harvestmenare angels.

[J. N. Darby altered NewTestament prophetic passagesby replacing the word, "world"with "age" (period of time)in order to promote thedispensationalist paradigmshift. In these instances, thesubstitution of the word,"age" for "world"communicates the notion ofthe completion orconsummation of the agerather than the end of theworld.]

According to the Scofield1917 Reference Bible, "Adispensation is a period oftime during which man istested in respect to somespecific revelation of the Willof God" [emphasis mine]

For I would not, brethren,that ye should be ignorantof this mystery, lest ye

Rom. 11:25 For I do not wish you to beignorant, brethren, of thismystery, that ye may not be

Page 30: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

should be wise in yourown conceits; thatblindness in part ishappened to Israel, untilthe fulness of the Gentilesbe come in.

wise in your own conceits,that blindness in part ishappened to Israel, until thefulness of the nations become in;

The note from the 1917Scofiled Reference Biblereveals the reason JohnDarby changed the word,Gentiles to nations.

The "fullness of the Gentiles"is the completion of thepurpose of God in this age,viz. the outcalling from amongthe Gentiles of a people forChrist's name, "the churchwhich is His body" Eph 1:22-23 Cf Ac 15:14; Eph 4:11-13; 1Co 12:12-13. It must bedistinguished from "the timesof the Gentiles" Lu 21:24.

Darby altered the verseoutright and Scofield followedsuit by altering the verse viathe insertion of his footnote.Both taught that Israel will bespiritually blind until God isfinished with this dispensationor age. The real Bible (KJV)says that Israel will bespiritually blind until the"fulness of the Gentiles become in."

2 Thess. Chapter 2 See: John Darby'sDoctrinal Changes toSecond ThessaloniansChapter 2

Cyrus Scofield's definitionin his 1917 ScofieldReference Bible for "day ofChrist"--via marginal notesand footnotes--specificallypromotes the concept of apre-trib return of JesusChrist.

John Nelson Darby Version: Based onCorrupt Texts

John Darby was a Forerunner of the Modern Bible VersionsMovement

John Nelson Darby (November 18, 1800 – April 29, 1882) wasthe most influential leader of the original Plymouth Brethrenmovement. It might surprise you to learn that this man—regarded by biographers as the Father of Dispensationalism—wasat the forefront of the modern bible versions movement. In 1867John Darby completed a new translation of the New Testamentthat is filled with texts and footnotes that contradict the ReceivedText:

"Darby did not feel such a need for a new translationin English, because he considered the King JamesVersion to be adequate for most purposes, and heencouraged his followers to continue to use it. But, hedecided to produce a highly literal English version ofthe New Testament for study purposes. This NewTestament was first issued in parts, beginning with theGospel according to Matthew in 1865. The NewTestament was completed in 1867. The version isexceedingly literal, based upon modern critical editionsof the Greek text, and abundantly supplied with text-critical and philological annotations. The annotationsare by far the most comprehensive and detailed to befound in an English version." [emphasis added.] (1)

The Darby Translation is based on modern criticaleditions of the Greek text:

The Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Book of Revelation: Commonlycalled the New Testament. A New Translation from a RevisedText of the Greek Original. London: G. Morrish, 1867. Secondedition 1872. Third edition 1884. [bold emphasis added] (2)

John Darby's Bible was so liberal the modernists whotranslated the 1881 English Revised Version consultedit:

"It was consulted by the translators of the English RevisedVersion of 1881 (see F.F. Bruce, History of the Bible in English,

Page 32: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

3rd ed., 1978, p. 132)." (3)

John Darby highly regarded modernists of his day:

In my first edition my translation was formed on the concurrentvoice of Griesbach, Lachmann, Scholz, and Tischendorf: the firstof soberer judgment and critical acumen and discernment; thenext with a narrower system of taking only the very earliest MSS,so that sometimes he might have only one or two; the thirdexcessively carelessly printed, but taking the mass ofConstantinopolitan MSS as a rule; [emphasis added] RevisedPreface to second edition of the New Testament (1871) (4)

"Meanwhile, since my first edition, founded on the concurrentjudgment of the four great modern editors, [he referencedGriesbach, Lachmann, Scholz, and Tischendorf] following thereceived text unchanged where the true reading was a disputedpoint among them, the Sinaitic MS has been discovered; theVatican published; Porphyry's of Acts and Paul's Epistles andmost of the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse, and others, inthe Monumenta Sacra Inedita of Tischendorf, as well as hisseventh edition." Revised Preface to second edition of the NewTestament 1871 [bold emphasis added] (5)

Darby gave honorable mention to modernists who"enlarged the field of criticism":

"Mill, Bengel, Wetstein (who greatly enlarged the fieldof criticism), then Griesbach, Matthei (the last givingthe Russian Codices, which are Constantinopolitan socalled), Lachmann, Scholz, Tischendorf, and quiterecently Tregelles. I name only those of criticalcelebrity." [emphasis added] (6)

John Darby's assertion that the Textus Receptus "had no realauthority" corresponds with the fact that his alleged "recoveredtruths" are not found in the Authorized Version (KJV). He stated:

"My plan was, where the chief editors agreed, to adopt theirreading, not to attempt to make a text of my own. My object wasa more correct translation: only there was no use in translatingwhat all intelligent critics held to be a mistake in the copy. For, asis known, the Textus Receptus had no real authority, nor wasindeed the English Version taken from it, -- it was an earlier workby some years." [emphasis added] (7)

In view of the fact that the bulk of John Darby's"recovered truths" are prophetic in nature, it is

Page 33: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

revealing that he rejected the manuscripts the KingJames translators used for Revelation:

"I have always stated the Textus Receptus in the margin where itis departed from, except in the Revelation, Erasmus havingtranslated that from one poor and imperfect MS., whichbeing accompanied by a commentary had to be separated by atranscriber; and even so Erasmus corrected what he had from theVulgate, or guessed what he had not." [bold emphasis added] (8)

Plymouth Brethren Translations Agree on Modern VersionDoctrines

QUESTION: Why does the John Darby Translation (which is basedupon critical editions of the Greek Text) often precisely matchThomas Newberry's George Ricker Berry English Interlinear inmodern version doctrinal teachings?

ANSWER: The John Darby Translation often matched ThomasNewberry's Interlinear because both Plymouth Brethren leaderswere AGAINST THE RECEIVED TEXT and for the Critical GreekText!

Being then made freefrom sin, ye became theservants ofrighteousness.

[Bible translations based oncorrupt manuscripts usephrases such as "possessedby demons" or "demonpossessed." The use of suchexorcist-styled wordingserves Satan's purpose bymaking Christians afraid tominister to people who areafflicted with evil spirits.]

¶ There is therefore nowno condemnation tothem which are in ChristJesus, who walk notafter the flesh, but afterthe Spirit.

Rom. 8:1 ¶ [There is] then now nocondemnation to those inChrist Jesus.

[John Darby, again markinghis "version" for hisdispensationalist agenda,removed the conditionalpart of Romans 8:1. Cyrus

Page 53: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Scofield, a student ofDarby's theology, removedthe sobering conditionalpart of this verse in hisReference Bible byinserting this note: "Thisstatement ends with 'JesusChrist;' the last ten wordsare interpolated. Note:interpolated means added tothe original.]

For if ye live after theflesh, ye shall die: but ifye through the Spirit domortify the deeds of thebody, ye shall live.

Rom. 8:13 for if ye live according toflesh, ye are about to die;but if, by the Spirit, ye putto death the deeds of thebody, ye shall live:

[Darby's re-wording of thisverse reminds me of the factthat Christians whounderstand the bibleaccording to thedispensational hermeneuticare under the impressionthat if they refuse to stopliving sinful lives God willchastise them by endingtheir earthly lives andtaking them straight toheaven. The KJV tells thetruth: If ye (addressed toChristians) live after theflesh ye shall die. Thecontext reveals that thisdeath is a spiritual death,not a death that serves thepurpose of hastening one'sentrance into heaven.]

That we henceforth beno more children, tossedto and fro, and carriedabout with every wind ofdoctrine, by the sleightof men, and cunningcraftiness, whereby theylie in wait to deceive;

Not in the lust ofconcupiscence, even asthe Gentiles which knownot God:

1 Thess. 4:5 (not in passionate desire,even as the nations whoknow not God,)

[Concupiscence has aclearly negative connotationwhereas "passionate desire"does not!]

For God hath not calledus unto uncleanness, butunto holiness.

1 Thess. 4:7 For God has not called us touncleanness, but insanctification.

[Darby changed the Bible tosupport his osas teachingthat God called Christiansin sanctification.[According to Darby-inspired teachings, as soonas you pray the "sinner'sprayer" you are sanctifiedfor life--regardless ofconduct.) The real Bible

Page 55: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

teaches that God has calledhis people unto holiness--unto living a holy life.]

He therefore thatdespiseth, despiseth notman, but God, who hathalso given unto us hisholy Spirit.

1 Thess. 4:8 He therefore that [in this]disregards [his brother],disregards, not man, butGod, who has given also hisHoly Spirit to you.

[Despiseth has theconnotation of contempt.Disregards means to pay noattention to.]

Abstain from allappearance of evil.

1 Thess. 5:22 hold aloof from every formof wickedness.

[The real Bible--KJV--warns us to abstain fromeven the appearance of evil.It is no wonder John Darbychanged that verse becausehis own translation hasmany appearances of evil.]

But there were falseprophets also among thepeople, even as thereshall be false teachersamong you, who privilyshall bring in damnableheresies, even denyingthe Lord that boughtthem, and bring uponthemselves swiftdestruction.

2 Peter 2:1 there were false prophetsalso among the people, asthere shall be also amongyou false teachers, whoshall bring in by the byedestructive heresies, anddeny the master that boughtthem, bringing uponthemselves swiftdestruction;

Knowing this first, thatno prophecy of thescripture is of anyprivate interpretation.

2 Pet. 1:20 knowing this first, that [thescope of] no prophecy ofscripture is had from itsown particularinterpretation,

[Since Darby'sinterpretations of scripturewere indeed private, itbehooved him to changethis verse.]

Therefore, brethren,stand fast, and hold thetraditions which ye havebeen taught, whether byword, or our epistle.

2 Thess. 2:15 So then, brethren, standfirm, and hold fast theinstructions which ye havebeen taught, whether byword or by our letter.

[Darby required hisfollowers to hold fast hisinstructions rather than holdthe biblical traditions.]

¶ Then was Jesus led upof the Spirit into thewilderness to be temptedof the devil.

Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was carried upinto the wilderness by theSpirit to be tempted of thedevil:

[The Darby Bible gives thefalse impression that Jesuswas bodily carried by theHoly Spirit into thewilderness!]

Even so every good treebringeth forth good fruit;but a corrupt treebringeth forth evil fruit.

Matthew 7:17 So every good tree producesgood fruits, but theworthless tree produces badfruits.

A good tree cannot bringforth evil fruit, neithercan a corrupt tree bringforth good fruit.

Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot producebad fruits, nor a worthlesstree produce good fruits.

Wherefore I say untoyou, All manner of sinand blasphemy shall beforgiven unto men: butthe blasphemy againstthe Holy Ghost shall notbe forgiven unto men.

But he that shallblaspheme against theHoly Ghost hath neverforgiveness, but is indanger of eternaldamnation:

Mark 3:29 but whosoever shall speakinjuriously against the HolySpirit, to eternity has noforgiveness; but lies underthe guilt of an everlastingsin;

[John Darby (along withother modernist Bibletranslators) removed theobvious penalty of eternaldamnation and changed it toa sin (rather than hell) thatlasts forever: "lies under theguilt of an everlasting sin;"

Afterward Jesus findethhim in the temple, andsaid unto him, Behold,thou art made whole: sinno more, lest a worsething come unto thee.

John 5:14 After these things Jesusfinds him in the temple, andsaid to him, Behold, thou artbecome well: sin no more,that something worse do nothappen to thee.

[People often "becomewell" with time and nursingcare. Jesus Christ made theman whole and told him so:"thou art made whole!"Darby denied that JesusChrist healed this man withhis false wording in hisfalse "bible" version.]

She said, No man, Lord.And Jesus said unto her,Neither do I condemnthee: go, and sin nomore.

Jesus answered them,Verily, verily, I say untoyou, Whosoevercommitteth sin is theservant of sin.

John 8:34 Jesus answered them,Verily, verily, I say to you,Every one that practises sinis the bondman of sin.

And when he is come, hewill reprove the world ofsin, and ofrighteousness, and ofjudgment:

John 16:8 And having come, he willbring demonstration to theworld, of sin, and ofrighteousness, and ofjudgment:

[It is Satan, not the HolySpirit, who bringsdemonstration of sin to theworld! The Holy Spiritreproves the world of sin(convinces of a fault)!]

For the law was given byMoses, but grace andtruth came by JesusChrist.

John 1:17 For the law was given byMoses: grace and truthsubsists through JesusChrist.

[The KJV wording indicatesthat grace and truth "cameby" or originated with JesusChrist.) Darby's Versionsays that grace and truthsubsists (is caused to stand)through Jesus Christ.]

So Christ was onceoffered to bear the sinsof many; and unto themthat look for him shall heappear the second timewithout sin untosalvation.

Heb. 9:28 thus the Christ also, havingbeen once offered to bearthe sins of many, shallappear to those that look forhim the second time withoutsin for salvation.

[Darby changed "erred" to"missed" thereby removingthe truth that a realChristian can fall into errorconcerning the faith.]

¶ Now the end of thecommandment is charityout of a pure heart, andof a good conscience,and of faith unfeigned:From which somehaving swerved haveturned aside unto vainjangling;

1 Timothy 1:5, 6 ¶ But the end of what isenjoined is love out of apure heart and a goodconscience and unfeignedfaith; which [things] somehaving missed, have turnedaside to vain discourse,

[Darby insertedunconditional eternalsecurity doctrine bychanging "swerved" to"missed." (This supports hisfalse definition of apostasywhich Scofield popularizedin his Reference Bible.)Darby removed the truth asfound in the KJV: AChristian can swerve (turnaside) from the faith.]

For God doth know thatin the day ye eat thereof,

Gen 3:5 but God knows that in theday ye eat of it, your eyes

then your eyes shall beopened, and ye shall beas gods, knowing goodand evil.

will be opened, and ye willbe as God, knowing goodand evil

Darby's note: Or 'as gods.'

[John Darby used his "bibleversion" to insert thesatanic doctrine that the fallof man amounted tobecoming like God! Thereal Bible (KJV) says theserpent said "ye shall be asgods" knowing good andevil.]

Darby's footnote, "Or 'asgods' evidences that heconsidered God and gods tobe interchangeable in thisverse.

[In Satanism, Satan is thesupreme being, and the Godof the Bible is considered tobe a fallen god ofcontemptible character.]

But what saith theanswer of God untohim? I have reserved tomyself seven thousandmen, who have notbowed the knee to theimage of Baal.

Rom 11:4 But what says the divineanswer to him? I have leftto myself seven thousandmen, who have not bowedknee to Baal.

[Occultists and New Agersbelieve they receive divineanswers. The real Bible saysanswer of God.]

If ye have heard of thedispensation of the graceof God which is given

¶ For he is our peace,who hath made both one,and hath broken downthe middle wall ofpartition between us;

Eph. 2:14 ¶ For *he* is our peace,who has made both one, andhas broken down the middlewall of enclosure,

For we wrestle notagainst flesh and blood,but against principalities,against powers, againstthe rulers of the darknessof this world, againstspiritual wickedness inhigh places.

[Darby added the phrase,"the universal gathering."Darby's re-wording notwithstanding, fallen angelswill not be there.]

Wherein in time past yewalked according to thecourse of this world,according to the princeof the power of the air,the spirit that nowworketh in the childrenof disobedience:

Eph. 2:2 in which ye once walkedaccording to the age of thisworld, according to the rulerof the authority of the air,the spirit who now works inthe sons of disobedience:

(In this verse Darbyremoved the truth thatChristians used to walkaccording to the course[ways] of this world.)

(Darby caused 1 Tim 6:15to say that Jesus Christ isthe only ruler. However, hemarked his "bible" for hismaster by making the rulermean Satan.

And I will put enmitybetween thee and thewoman, and between thyseed and her seed; itshall bruise thy head,and thou shalt bruise hisheel.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmitybetween thee and thewoman, and between thyseed and her seed; he shallcrush thy head, and thoushalt crush his heel.

[Bruise does not meancrush. A bruise does notbreak the skin whereassomething that is crushed isdistorted by pressure. TheLord Jesus Christ was notcrushed by Satan.]

The enemy that sowedthem is the devil; theharvest is the end of theworld; and the reapersare the angels.

Matthew 13:39 and the enemy who hassowed it is the devil; andthe harvest is thecompletion of the age, andthe harvestmen are angels.

[J. N. Darby altered NewTestament propheticpassages by replacing theword, "world" with "age"(period of time) in order topromote thedispensationalist paradigmshift. In these instances, thesubstitution of the word,"age" for "world"communicates the notion ofthe end of the dispensationrather than the end of theworld.]

Cyrus Scofield defineddispensation as it is used forthe dispensationalisthermeneutic in his 1917Reference Bible:

"A dispensation is a period oftime during which man is testedin respect to some specificrevelation of the Will of God"[emphasis mine]

¶ And Adam knew Evehis wife; and sheconceived, and bareCain, and said, I havegotten a man from theLORD.

Gen 4:1 And Man knew Eve hiswife; and she conceived,and bore Cain, and said, Ihave acquired a man withJehovah.

[Acquiring a man from theLord is TOTALLY differentfrom having a man with the

Page 66: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Lord! This is blasphemy.Note: Satan and his devilshave carnal communionwith human beings, notGod!

Take note of the fact thatJohn Darby and hisPlymouth Brethrencontemporary, ThomasNewberry more often thannot, differed with the KJVtranslators regardingprepositions. This pavedthe way for them to promotethe false doctrine via their"bible" versions that themark of the beast is "on"rather than "in."

But if a woman havelong hair, it is a glory toher: for her hair is givenher for a covering.

The context of this verseis clear that Paul istalking about a woman'snatural covering that is aglory to her personally--her hair.

1 Corinthians 11:15 But woman, if she havelong hair, it is glory to her;for the long hair is given toher in lieu of a veil.

[Darby radically changedthe verse to mean that longis hair is given to a womaninstead of a veil.]

Occult/New Age Markings on the John Darby Version

John Nelson Darby published his own version of the New Testament in 1867.He "decided to produce a highly literal English version of the New Testamentfor study purposes." (1) Below is a representative sampling of the occultwording, New Age markings and satanic subliminals Darby inserted into hisown translation, which he represented as being more literal (i.e. more accurate)and worthy of study than the King James Bible.

King James Bible

"end of the world"

Darby Version

"consummation of theages"

For then must he oftenhave suffered since thefoundation of the world:but now once in the endof the world hath heappeared to put away sinby the sacrifice ofhimself.

Hebrews 9:26 since he had [then] beenobliged often to sufferfrom the foundation of theworld. But now once in theconsummation of the ageshe has been manifested for[the] putting away of sinby his sacrifice.

[See: Theosophists Lookfor the "Consummationof the Age"]

"Jesus Christ is come""Jesus Christ coming inflesh"

For many deceivers areentered into the world,who confess not thatJesus Christ is come inthe flesh. This is adeceiver and anantichrist.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers havegone out into the world,they who do not confessJesus Christ coming inflesh--this is the deceiverand the antichrist.

[Coming in flesh is futuretense.] See:Darby/Scofield's "coming inflesh" Christ is Antichrist]

Page 68: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Saying, We give theethanks, O Lord GodAlmighty, which art, andwast, and art to come;because thou hast takento thee thy great power,and hast reigned.

Revelation 11:17 saying, We give theethanks, Lord God Almighty,He who is, and who was,that thou hast taken thygreat power and hastreigned.

[John Darby removed, "artto come." This verseremoves the promise thatLord God Almighty (theLord Jesus Christ) willcome again.]

And every spirit thatconfesseth not that JesusChrist is come in theflesh is not of God: andthis is that spirit ofantichrist, whereof yehave heard that it shouldcome; and even nowalready is it in the world.

1 John 4:3 and every spirit which doesnot confess Jesus Christcome in flesh is not of God:and this is that power of theantichrist, of which ye haveheard that it comes, andnow it is already in theworld.

[Darby omitted the word,"is" which indicates presenttense.]

KJV

"he that should come"

Darby Version

"the coming one"

And said unto him, Artthou he that shouldcome, or do we look foranother?

Matt. 11:3 and said to him, Art *thou*the coming [one]? or are weto wait for another? (Infoabout brackets)

For here have we nocontinuing city, but weseek one to come.

Heb. 13:14 for we have not here anabiding city, but we seekthe coming one.

(The Coming One is thetitle of the New Age World

Teacher, "the Christ"))

"wonderful works," "mighty works," etc. "works of power"

Many will say to me inthat day, Lord, Lord,have we not prophesiedin thy name? and in thyname have cast outdevils? and in thy namedone many wonderfulworks?

Matt. 7:22 Many shall say to me in thatday, Lord, Lord, have wenot prophesied through*thy* name, and through*thy* name cast outdemons, and through *thy*name done many works ofpower?

Then began he toupbraid the citieswherein most of hismighty works weredone, because theyrepented not:

Matt. 11:20 Then began he to reproachthe cities in which most ofhis works of power hadtaken place, because theyhad not repented.

["Works of power" is aterm mainly used byoccultists! To myknowledge "works ofpower" appears only inthe Darby Version and theBible in Basic English.Darby marked his version15 times with this phrase.]

"followers" "imitators"

For ye, brethren, becamefollowers of thechurches of God whichin Judaea are in ChristJesus: for ye also havesuffered like things ofyour own countrymen,

1 Thess. 2:14

1 Cor. 4:16

1 Pet. 3:13

For *ye*, brethren, havebecome imitators of theassemblies of God whichare in Judaea in ChristJesus; for *ye* also havesuffered the same things ofyour own countrymen as

Page 70: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

even as they have of theJews:

Wherefore I beseechyou, be ye followers ofme.

And who is he that willharm you, if ye befollowers of that whichis good?

also *they* of the Jews,

I entreat you therefore, bemy imitators. [Falseapostles imitate genuineapostles.]

And who shall injure you ifye have become imitators ofthat which [is] good?

[Infiltrators imitate(mimic or counterfeit) thereal thing. GenuineChristian brethrenbecome followers of thereal thing.

"the living and true God" "a living and true God."

For they themselvesshew of us what mannerof entering in we hadunto you, and how yeturned to God from idolsto serve the living andtrue God

1 Thess. 1:9 for they themselves relateconcerning us what enteringin we had to you, and howye turned to God from idolsto serve a living and trueGod

For therefore we bothlabour and sufferreproach, because wetrust in the living God,who is the Saviour of allmen, specially of thosethat believe.

1 Tim. 4:10 for, for this we labour andsuffer reproach, because wehope in a living God, who ispreserver of all men,specially of those thatbelieve.

God's temple with idols?for *ye* are [the] livingGod's temple;

Darby's use of bracketsaround the word "the"indicates that the criticalGreek manuscripts didnot include this word.

Take heed, brethren, lestthere be in any of you anevil heart of unbelief, indeparting from theliving God.

Heb. 3:12 See, brethren, lest there bein any one of you a wickedheart of unbelief, in turningaway from [the] living God.

See explanation regardingbrackets above.

"servant" "bondman" (slave)

A servant is one whoserves voluntarily orunder compulsion.

God's people choose toserve God. They makemoment-by-momentchoices to either yield toor quench the HolySpirit. Unlike Satan,God does not bring hischildren into bondage.

A bondman is a slave -- aperson who serves undercompulsion.

A bondman (slave) is heldin bondage to another and iswholly subject to the will ofanother. A slave is held aschattel and has no freedomof action.

Satan's followers regardChristians as slaves of JesusChrist. They considerChristianity as the worstform of slavery and think ofGod as a cruel, mercilessmaster because he does notpermit his followers the"freedom" to sin. Thus, theyuse the word, slave to

Page 72: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

describe their perception ofa Christian's relationship tothe God of the Bible. JohnDarby marked 69 NewTestament verses with theword, "bondman" (slave).

Paul, a servant of JesusChrist, called to be anapostle, separated untothe gospel of God

Romans 1:1 Paul, bondman of JesusChrist, [a] called apostle,separated to God's gladtidings

The disciple is not abovehis master, nor theservant above his lord.

Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above histeacher, nor the bondmanabove his lord.

And the servant of theLord must not strive; butbe gentle unto all men,apt to teach, patient,

Revelation 1:1 Revelation of Jesus Christ,which God gave to him, toshew to his bondmen whatmust shortly take place; andhe signified it, sending byhis angel, to his bondmanJohn,

[Note: John Darbyremoved "the" fromRevelation of Jesus Christ.His removal of the definitearticle, "the" serves toremove the singularquality of this revelation.This set the stage for him toadd his own "revelation",which he did.]

And they sing the songof Moses the servant of

Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song ofMoses bondman of God,

Page 73: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

God, and the song of theLamb, saying, Great andmarvellous are thyworks, Lord GodAlmighty; just and trueare thy ways, thou Kingof saints.

and the song of the Lamb,saying, Great and wonderfulare thy works, Lord GodAlmighty; righteous andtrue are thy ways, O King ofnations.

[Important: John Darbychanged king of saints toking of nations.]

"ye do shew the Lord's death" "announce the death..."

For as often as ye eatthis bread, and drink thiscup, ye do shew theLord's death till hecome.

1 Cor. 11:26 1 Corinthians 11:26 For asoften as ye shall eat thisbread, and drink the cup, yeannounce the death of theLord, until he come.

[Satan's followers wishJesus Christ was dead andblaspheme him bycontinaully "announcing"his death by conductingdaily masses all over theworld.]

"this is my body, which is broken for you" "which is for you"

And when he had giventhanks, he brake it, andsaid, Take, eat: this ismy body, which isbroken for you: this doin remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians 11:24 1 Corinthians 11:24 andhaving given thanks brokeit, and said, This is mybody, which is for you: thisdo in remembrance of me.

[Darby removed "which isbroken for you"]

"Christ" "The Christ"

Page 74: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

The title, "The Christ"was used 19 Times inKJV

Darby Version: Title ofNew Age World TeacherReplaces Christ

KJV: "The mighty One"Darby: "The MightyOne"

The KJV renders thetitle, the "mighty one"with no capitals andonce with thecapitalization of theword, "One."

The Darby Version containsthe title, "the Mighty One"in one instance with nocapitals and the rest withLuciferically-correctcapitalizations.

I have thereforedelivered him into thehand of the mighty oneof the heathen; he shallsurely deal with him: Ihave driven him out forhis wickedness.

Ezekiel 31:11 I have given him into thehand of the mighty one ofthe nations; he shall surelydeal with him: I have drivenhim out for his wickedness.

Therefore saith the Lord,the LORD of hosts, themighty One of Israel,Ah, I will ease me ofmine adversaries, andavenge me of mineenemies:

Isaiah 1:24 Isaiah 1:24 Therefore saiththe Lord, Jehovah of hosts,the Mighty One of Israel:Ah! I will ease me of mineadversaries, and avenge meof mine enemies.

Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them thatoppress thee with their ownflesh; and they shall bedrunken with their ownblood, as with new wine.And all flesh shall knowthat I, Jehovah, am thySaviour and thy Redeemer,the Mighty One of Jacob.

Thou shalt also suck the Isaiah 60:16 And thou shalt suck the

milk of the nations, andshalt suck the breast ofkings; and thou shalt knowthat I, Jehovah, am thySaviour and thy Redeemer,the Mighty One of Jacob.

Even in verses wherethe KJV does notinclude the phrase,"the mighty One"Darby added it--complete withLuciferically-correctcapitalizations.

But his bow abode instrength, and the arms ofhis hands were madestrong by the hands ofthe mighty God ofJacob; (from thence isthe shepherd, the stoneof Israel:)

Genesis 49:24 But his bow abideth firm,And the arms of his handsare supple By the hands ofthe Mighty One of Jacob.From thence is theshepherd, the stone ofIsrael:

"Master" "Teacher"

The KJV refers to JesusChrist as a teacher once:

John 3:2: The samecame to Jesus by night,and said unto him,Rabbi, we know thatthou art a teacher comefrom God: for no mancan do these miraclesthat thou doest, exceptGod be with him.

John Darby's Versionreferrs to Jesus Christ asteacher 46 times!

Note: Teacher. New Agersrefer to their Christ as theWorld

And a certain scribecame, and said unto him,Master, I will followthee whithersoever thougoest.

Matthew 8:19 And a scribe came up andsaid to him, Teacher, I willfollow thee whithersoeverthou mayest go.

And when the Phariseessaw it, they said unto hisdisciples, Why eatethyour Master withpublicans and sinners?

Matthew 9:11 And the Pharisees seeing it,said to his disciples, Whydoes your teacher eat withtax-gatherers and sinners?

The disciple is not abovehis master, nor theservant above his lord.

Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above histeacher, nor the bondmanabove his lord.

It is enough for thedisciple that he be as hismaster, and the servantas his lord. If they havecalled the master of thehouse Beelzebub, howmuch more shall theycall them of hishousehold?

Matthew 10:25 [It is] sufficient for thedisciple that he shouldbecome as his teacher, andthe bondman as his lord. Ifthey have called the masterof the house Beelzebub,how much more those of hishousehold?

Matthew 24:14 And these glad tidings ofthe kingdom shall bepreached in the wholehabitable earth, for awitness to all the nations,and then shall come the end.

Satan's agents do notbelieve in hell or damnationas the bible teaches. Whilegoing through the motionsof assenting to thesedoctrines, they remove thewords, hell and damnationfrom the Bible in variousways-- either directly or viafootnotes.

"accursed from Christ" "a curse from the Christ"

Romans 9:3 For I couldwish that myself wereaccursed from Christ formy brethren, mykinsmen according to theflesh:

Romans 9:3 for I havewished, I myself, to be acurse from the Christ for mybrethren, my kinsmen,according to flesh;

[To state that Jesus is theonly ruler and that the ruler(of this world) will bejudged is a bold satanicmarking on Darby's"Version." Note: Theprepositional phrase, "ofthis world' does not renderthis verse harmless becausehis "Version" states thatJesus Christ is the "onlyRuler."]

Christians will be raised up by JesusChristians will be raisedup with Jesus

Knowing that he whichraised up the Lord Jesusshall raise up us also byJesus, and shall presentus with you.

2 Cor. 4:14 knowing that he who hasraised the Lord Jesus shallraise us also with Jesus,and shall present us withyou.

John Darby (also NKJV,etc.) boldly marked thispassage for his master bycommunicating that JesusChrist who was raised, willbe raised in the future!

The dead in Christ will beraised bodily in the futurebut Jesus Christ has alreadybodily risen and hisfollowers will be raised byhim.

According to Darby's

Page 81: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

gnostically marked passage,Jesus Christ was raisedfrom the dead but he alsowill be raised in the future.The gnostic message (2)contained in this passage isthat Jesus was raisedspiritually from the dead butthat his physicalresurrection will occurwhen his followers areresurrected.

The real English Bible(KJV) says,

And if Christ be not risen,then is our preaching vain,and your faith is also vain. 1Cor. 15:14

John Darby's preaching is invain (via 2 Cor. 4:14 in hisfake bible) because he sidedwith the occultists whocreated the revised Greektext in saying that Christwas raised and shall beraised (2 Cor. 4:14) ratherthan the truth: Jesus Christis raised from the dead andwe (his followers) will beraised by him.

What is Point Within a Circle Symbolism?Albert Mackey, a 33 degree Mason, disclosed themeaning of the point within a circle symbol inhis book, A Manual of the Lodge:

The point within the circle is an interesting andimportant symbol in Freemasonry. . . TheSYMBOL IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL BUT

SOMEWHAT ABSTRUSE ALLUSION TO THE OLD SUN-WORSHIP, and introduces us for the first time to thatmodification of it, known among the ancients as the WORSHIPOF THE PHALLUS.

(Quote source: Albert Mackey as quoted in his book, A Manual ofthe Lodge, pg 56 by Dr. Cathy Burns in Masonic and OccultSymbols Illustrated, page 27)

Rev. George Oliver, also a Mason, admitted the point within acircle symbolism refers to phallic worship:

. . . bore a more immediate relation to the generative principle ofnature, symbolized by the union of the sexes. I am ashamed tostain my page with the discussion which this part of my subjectnecessarily introduces, but it cannot be wholly avoided, as thePOINT WITHIN A CIRCLE , with an unequivocal ALLUSION TOPHALLIC WORSHIP, was the principle object of devotion withevery people in the world . . . Even the Israelites themselveswere not entirely free from the contamination of such abominablepractices; for the Linga of the Hindus, the Phallus and the Priapusof the Greeks and Romans, and the Baal-Peor of the idolatrousIsraelites, was one and the same monstrous emblem, which wasequally represented by a point within a circle. [Italics in theoriginal; Bold and caps added]

(Quote source: Rev. George Oliver as quoted in his book, Signsand Symbols pg. 124-126 by Dr. Cathy Burns in her book, HiddenSecrets of the Eastern Star page 196-97).

The Point within a circle symbol also represents thepower Freemasons regard as the "One SupremePower," or "the Great Architect of the Universe":

The point within a circle is one of the hieroglyphic signs of thesun-god, RA, but is is not merely an image of the solar disc. Forone thing it is a masonic symbol, and H. A. Giles, the Chinesescholar, who is himself a Mason, tells us it is held to representthe One Supreme Power, whatever that power may be, the Greatarchitect of the Universe, recognized alike by ourselves and

Page 85: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

our brother Masons of every religious denomination. . . .

(Quote source: Albert Churchward, a Mason as quoted by Dr.Cathy Burns in her book, Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star --page 193)

Point within a circle Symbolism Hidden in Plain Sight

Point within a circle Masonic symbolism is often used in corporatelogos (example: the Target store logo) and words. The "o" in aword is a convenient place to mark a book cover forFreemasonry. Indeed, this symbol is being placed on covers ofbooks that leaders in the Christian establishment claim arebiblical. As you can clearly see, the "Scofield Study Bibles MarkedWith Masonic Symbolism" article demonstrates that OxfordUniversity Press, USA used "point within a circle" symbolism tomark the Scofield Study Bible III for Lucifer, who is the real godof Freemasonry.

Freemasonry's writings and symbols prove their god isLucifer:

"Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to giveto the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Isit he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable,blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!"

(Quote source: Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and AcceptedScottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike p. 321, 19th Degreeof Grand Pontiff; Emphasis added)

Publishers who mark book covers with Freemasonry symbolism(as well as the writers and editors of such books) are sending anobvious message. Will God's called-out-from-the-Falling-Awaypeople have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to thechurches about Luciferically-marked book covers, doctrines, andministries? For an example . . .

Michael Pearl of No Greater Joy Ministries used Masonic "pointwithin a circle symbolism" for his book, Eight Kingdoms and sungod symbolism for his ministry logo. He stated "The Sun [is] asymbol of God" and is teaching his followers that sex is worship.

Scofield, “in the midst of” Vs Jesus Christ, “within you”

Scofield: "in the midst of" Vs Jesus Christ: "within you"

According to the Luke 17:21 footnote in the Scofield Study Bible,1917 Edition,

"Our Lord's whole answer, designedly enigmatic to the Pharisees(cf) Mt 13:10-13 had a dispensational meaning."

Since the Lord Jesus Christ's answer, (as translated from theTextus Receptus) does not conform to Darby's dispensationalistdoctrine that Jesus Christ's first advent was for the purpose ofestablishing an earthly kingdom, John Darby and Cyrus Scofieldchose to change Jesus' statement, "within you" to "in the midstof."

Even with this alteration to the KJV text, Scofield needed toqualify it in order to support the dispensationalist doctrine thatJesus Christ did not come to earth for the purpose of saving hispeople from their sins (1) but rather, to set up his kingdom onearth:

The kingdom in its outward form, as covenanted to David 2Sa7:8-17 and described by the prophets Cmt. on Zec 12:8 had beenrejected by the Jews; so that, during this present age, it wouldnot "come with observation" (lit. "outward show") but in thehearts of men (cf) Lu 19:11-12; Ac 1:6-8.

Let us look at Jesus Christ's "the kingdom of God iswithin you" statement in context:

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of thePharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, heanswered them and said, The kingdom of God comethnot with observation:

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lothere! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

As Cyrus Scofield pointed out in his footnote, obviously thekingdom of God was not within the "self-righteous, Christrejecting Pharisees" but his point does not negate Jesus' words.The haughty, unbelieving Pharisees demanded an answer butJesus' answer was directed toward those who were truly looking

Page 91: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

for the kingdom of God, as can be seen by looking at verse 21:

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lothere! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

First, Jesus made it clear that the kingdom of God"cometh not with observation"--it was not a visible,earthly kingdom. He repeated this doctrine when hewas getting ready to go to the cross:

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if mykingdom were of this world, then would my servantsfight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: butnow is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36

Next Jesus Christ explained that the kingdom of God"is within you" --in reference to those who would say,"lo here!" or "lo there!" (the Pharisees did not qualifyas they were resisting Jesus Christ's definition of thekingdom of God with all their might.)

Jesus did not want those who were earnestly lookingfor the kingdom of God to be misled into thinking thatit was a physical place:

"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Jesus' answer was clear: the kingdom that he came toearth to bring to his own people, the Jews, was akingdom that would be inside of them--written in theirhearts. This was prophesied in the book of Jeremiah:

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with thehouse of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, Iwill put my law in their inward parts, and write it intheir hearts; and will be their God, and they shall bemy people. Jeremiah 31:33

Since John Darby's allegedly rediscovered truth that Jesus Christcame to earth in order to preside over an earthly kingdom of theJews is not taught in the KJV's "within you" rendering, CyrusScofield (as he did numerous times in his Scofield Study Bible1917 Edition), followed the Westcott/Hort Critical Greek text and

Page 92: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

replaced "within you" with "in the midst of" via a marginal note.

Notes:

(1) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his nameJESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

Cyrus I. Scofield: "The Cross . . . made at-one-ment"

Summary

Cyrus Scofield did not provide the correct meaning of the word,"at-one-ment" nor did he warn his reader that this word has aspecific occult connotation. Instead, he set the stage for theinsertion of the word, "at-one-ment," in place of the proper word,atonement in a doctrinal statement about the Cross of JesusChrist. He accomplished this by first giving the correcttheological definition of atonement. Next, he placed "at-one-ment" in parenthesis next to the word, atonement. Lastly, heinserted the word, "at-one-ment" in his statement about theCross: "It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made"at-one-ment."

The Meaning of Atonement

The Webster's 1828 Dictionary states the theologicaldefinition of atonement:

"In theology, the expiation of sin made by the obedienceand personal sufferings of Christ."

The Free Dictionary's definition of atonement: "Thereconciliation of God and humans brought about by theredemptive life and death of Jesus."

The Webster's 1913 dictionary's definition of atonement:

(Literally, a setting at one.) Reconciliation; restorationof friendly relations; agreement; concord. [Archaic]

Atonement (reconciliation with God by the sacrifice of Jesus Christon the cross) does not have the same meaning as the theosophicalterm, at-one-ment, which Theosophists define as union with God.

C. I. Scofield's switch to New Age terminology linked thework of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross with the work

Page 94: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

of the New Age "Christ," who purposes to bring theplanet into what New Agers call at-one-ment:"absorption into the One energy that is God."

Cyrus I. Scofield, editor of the Scofield Reference Bible (1909,1917), associated the Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ with "at-one-ment," which is an occult term straight out of the New AgeMovement. C.I. Scofield wrote:

"It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made "at-one-ment."

Below is the complete footnote in the 1917 Old ScofieldStudy Bible (page 148):

Le 16:61 AtonementMargin: atonement

Atonement. The biblical use and meaning of the word must besharply distinguished from its use in theology. In theology it is aterm which covers the whole sacrificial and redemptive work ofChrist. In the O.T. atonement is the English word used to translatethe Hebrew words which mean "cover," "coverings," or "to cover."Atonement (at-one-ment) is, therefore, not a translation of thehebrew, but a purely theologic concept. The Levitical offerings"covered" the sins of Israel until, and in anticipation of the Cross,but did not "take away" Heb 10:4 those sins. These were the "sinsdone aforetime" ("covered" meantime by the Levitical sacrifices),which God "passed over" Ro 3:25 for which "passing over" God'srighteousness was never vindicated until, in the Cross, Jesus Christwas "set forth a propitiation." See "Propitiation," Cmt. on Ro 3:25.

It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made "at-one-ment." The O.T. sacrifices enabled God to go on with a guiltypeople because they typified the Cross. To the offerer they werethe confession of his desert of death, and the expression of hisfaith; to God they were the "shadows" Heb 10:1 of which Christwas the reality. [bold emphasis added]

Also see the complete footnote in the 1917 Old Scofield Study Bible(page 110):

Ex 29:331 atonement

Heb. kaphar, "to cover." The English word "atonement" (at-one-ment) is not a translation of the Heb. kaphar, but a translator'sinterpretation. According to Scripture the legal sacrifice "covered"

Page 95: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

the offerer's sin and secured the divine forgiveness; according tothe translators it made God and the sinner at-one. But the O.T.sacrifices did not at-one the sinner and God. "It is not possible thatthe blood of bulls and goats should take away sins." Heb 10:4. TheIsraelite's offering implied confession of sin and of its due desert,death; and God "covered" (passed over," Ro 3:25 his sin, inanticipation of Christ's sacrifice, which did, finally, "put away" thesins "done aforetime in the forbearance of God." Ro 3:25; Heb9:15. Cmt. on Ro 3:25. The word "atonement" does not occur inthe N.T.; Ro 5:11 meaning reconciliation, and so rendered in theR.V.

See "Sacrifice," Gen 4.4, and refs. Cmt. on Ge 4:4

At-one-ment and Atonement are not the same!

The Meaning of At-one-ment

At-one-ment:

"...at-one-ment, the term relates primarily to the New Age ideathat complete oneness with God can be experienced by humanbeings." [emphasis added]

(Quote source:http://logosresourcepages.org/Occult/na-dict.htm)

At-one-ment:

At-one-ment: Term used by several Mind Science or New Thoughtreligions (such as Christian Science) referring to the supposedmetaphysical unity or “oneness” of human beings and God asdemonstrated by Christ. Contrast the Christian term “atonement,”which refers to Christ’s death on the cross as the means by whichhe reconciled sinful human beings to God.

(Quote source: http://www.watchman.org/cat95.htm)

At-one-ment is New Age/occult "salvation":

At-one-ment, or absorption into the One energy that isGod, is a prominently held view of most New Agers'understanding of salvation. It is the unfolding of one'sconsciousness to the point that the "True Self," thedivine nature, is realized. As a flower unfolds petal bypetal, so too does spiritual evolution unfold, revealing

the deeper realms of God-consciousness.

Theosophists Look For the "Consummation of the Age"

Theosophists do not believe in the bible doctrine of "the end ofthe world." Rather, they believe (as did Plymouth Brethrenleaders John Darby, Thomas Newberry and their American agent,Cyrus Scofield), in the doctrine of the "consummation of theage":

On the other hand, at no time since the Christian era, have theprecursor signs described in Matthew applied so graphically andforcibly to any epoch as they do to our own times. When hasnation arisen against nation more than at this time? When have"famines" – another name for destitute pauperism, and thefamished multitudes of the proletariat – been more cruel,earthquakes more frequent, or covered such an areasimultaneously, as for the last few years? Millenarians andAdventists of robust faith, may go on saying that "the coming of(the carnalised) Christ" is near at hand, and prepare themselvesfor "the end of the world."' Theosophists – at any rate, someof them – who understand the hidden meaning of theuniversally-expected Avatars, Messiahs, Sosioshes andChrists – know that it is no "end of the world," but "theconsummation of the age," i.e., the close of a cycle, whichis now fast approaching. [Bold emphasis added.]

Darby/Scofield's "coming in flesh" Christis Antichrist

The King James Bible tells us that "Jesus Christ iscome in the flesh":

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess notthat Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver andan antichrist. 2 John 1:7 KJV

The John Darby Version says "Jesus Christ coming inflesh":

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who donot confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh--this is the deceiverand the antichrist. 2 John 1:7 John Darby Version

Cyrus Scofield's marginal-note-altered KJV says "Jesus Christcoming in flesh":

For many deceivers are entered into the world, whoconfess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Thisis a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7 (Scofield's "JesusChrist coming in flesh" marginal note)

Jesus Christ of the King James Bible: is come in the flesh(present tense)

Jesus Christ of the John Darby Version: coming in flesh (futuretense)

Jesus Christ of 1917 Scofield Study Bible: coming in flesh(future tense)

The King James Bible does not refer to the same "Jesus Christ" asJohn Darby and Cyrus Scofield referred to because the Christ ofthe KJV is come in the flesh (present tense) and Darby andScofield's Christ (is) coming in flesh (future tense).

Take the Darby/Scofield Test: Are you the Deceiver and theAntichrist?

According to the King James Version, a deceiver and an antichrist

Page 99: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

confess not that "Jesus Christ is come in the flesh."

According to Cyrus Scofield's 1917 marginal-note-altered KJV, adeceiver and an antichrist confess not "Jesus Christ coming inflesh."

According to the John Darby Version: the deceiver and theantichrist do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh.

Christians who believe the KJV is the word of God in English failthe test of 2 John 1:7 as translated by John Darby and CyrusScofield:

King James Version readers who have not respect of persons injudgment do not confess Darby and Scofield's Christ (who is)"coming in flesh." Rather, we confess that "Jesus Christ is comein the flesh."

The Darby Version and Scofield's Study Bible (as well virtually allmodern versions) condemn as deceivers and antichrists thosewho refuse to confess that Jesus Christ is yet to come in theflesh. Indeed, those who hold fast to Jesus Christ as revealed inthe Authorized Version without marginal notes that recommendcorrupt text alterations shall be denounced as antichrists whenthe One World Religion/Government gains full control. The onlyconfession of "Christ" that the one world church/global interfaithmovement approves is the one Darby marked his Version with—the one who is coming in the flesh as a teacher (rather than theMaster) and goes by the New Age title, "the Christ" rather thanChrist. This "coming in flesh" Christ is the New Age WorldTeacher.

CLOSING COMMENTS: Some may object to my assertion thatDarby and Scofield's (and other modern versions') "Christ" of 2John 1:7 is actually a thinly veiled reference to Antichrist butsadly, this is definitely the case. 2 John 1:7 refers to the firstadvent of Jesus Christ, not his Second Coming.

Jesus Christ is come in the flesh and he will come again and"shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto hisglorious body." (See Philippians 3:21)

(Philippians 3:21) "Who shall change our vile body, that itmay be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according tothe working whereby he is able even to subdue all things untohimself."

John Darby's Doctrinal Changes to SecondThessalonians Chapter 2

King James Bible John Darby Version

¶ Now we beseech you,brethren, by the coming ofour Lord Jesus Christ, andby our gathering togetherunto him,

2 Thess. 2:1 ¶ Now we beg you,brethren, by the comingof our Lord Jesus Christand our gatheringtogether to him,

That ye be not soonshaken in mind, or betroubled, neither by spirit,nor by word, nor by letteras from us, as that theday of Christ is at hand.

[At hand means closein time; imminent.Therefore this versetells us forthrightlythat the day of Christis not at hand orimminent.

2 Thess. 2:2

Note Darby'sdoctrinal change

that ye be not soon shaken inmind, nor troubled, neither byspirit, nor by word, nor byletter, as [if it were] by us, asthat the day of the Lord ispresent.

[The King James Biblesays the day of Christ isnot "at hand" or imminent.Darby changed "day of Christ"to "day of the Lord."

The dispensationalhermeneutic requires twosecond comings, (one secretand one public). Therefore,John Darby altered this verseand turned the "day of Christ"into the "day of the Lord."(Cyrus Scofield followed suitin his 1917 Reference Bible.)See: John Darby andCyrus Scofield on the "Dayof Christ"

¶ Let no man deceive youby any means: for thatday shall not come, exceptthere come a falling awayfirst, and that man of sinbe revealed, the son ofperdition;

2 Thess. 2:3 ¶ Let not any onedeceive you in anymanner, because [it willnot be] unless theapostasy have firstcome, and the man ofsin have been revealed,the son of perdition

Page 101: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Who opposeth andexalteth himself above allthat is called God, or thatis worshipped; so that heas God sitteth in thetemple of God, shewinghimself that he is God.

2 Thess. 2:4

Note Darby'sdoctrinal change

who opposes and exaltshimself on high against allcalled God, or object ofveneration; so that he himselfsits down in the temple ofGod, shewing himself that heis God.

The son of perdition will exalthimself above all that is calledGod but he will not exalthimself on high, which is thedwelling place of God. (Psalm113:5 "Who is like unto theLORD our God, who dwellethon high")

Important: J.N. Darbyreplaced the phrase, "asGod" with "he himself" andadded the word, "down" tomake the phrase, "sits down."This gives the impression ofsitting down in a chair orthrone. This is more specificthan the idea of occupying inan official capacity.

Remember ye not,that, when I was yetwith you, I told youthese things?

2 Thess. 2:5 Do ye not rememberthat, being yet with you,I said these things toyou?

And now ye knowwhat withholdeth thathe might be revealedin his time.

2 Thess. 2:6 And now ye know thatwhich restrains, that heshould be revealed in hisown time.

For the mystery of iniquitydoth already work: only hewho now letteth will let,until he be taken out ofthe way.

The KJV states, untilhe (who now letteth)will be be taken out ofthe way.

2 Thess. 2:7

Note Darby'sdoctrinal change

For the mystery oflawlessness already works;only [there is] he whorestrains now until he begone,

Darby inserted the messagethat he who restrains themystery of lawlessness will begone. This supports the pre-trib rapture doctrine-- that allChristians (and thus the Holy

Page 102: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Spirit that indwells them) willbe removed from the earth sothat the Antichrist (son ofperdition) may be revealed.

And then shall that Wickedbe revealed, whom theLord shall consume withthe spirit of his mouth,and shall destroy with thebrightness of his coming:

[Destroy means "todo away with, causethe destruction orundoing of"]

2 Thess 2:8

Note Darby'sdoctrinal change

and then the lawless one shallbe revealed, whom the LordJesus shall consume with thebreath of his mouth, and shallannul by the appearing of hiscoming;

[Annul means 1. "to make ordeclare void or invalid." Itssecondary meaning is "toobliterate the effect orexistence of"

Darby removed "thebrightness of his coming andreplaced it with "theappearing of his coming."Darkness is opposed to thebrightness of Jesus Christ.]

Even him, whose comingis after the working ofSatan with all power andsigns and lying wonders,

[Wonder: Somethingthat arousesamazement or awe.What kind of wonderswill come about bythe working of Satan?Lying wonders

2 Thess. 2:9

Note Darby'ssubliminal

whose coming is according tothe working of Satan in allpower and signs and wondersof falsehood,

[Wonder: Somethingthat arouses amazementor awe. Darby insertedthe subliminal messagethat falsehood is awonder. He did not wordthis verse to state thetruth: Satan works falsewonders.]

And with alldeceivableness ofunrighteousness inthem that perish;because they receivednot the love of thetruth, that they mightbe saved.

2 Thess. 2:10 and in all deceit ofunrighteousness to themthat perish, because theyhave not received thelove of the truth thatthey might be saved.

And for this cause Godshall send them strongdelusion, that they shouldbelieve a lie:

2 Thess. 2:11

Note Darby'sdoctrinal change

And for this reason God sendsto them a working of error,that they should believe whatis false,

[Darby removed the warningabout God-sent strongdelusion and the result of it:the belief of "a lie," andsubstituted the much softer"working of error" and generalidea of "believe what isfalse." God will cause thosewho refuse to love the truthto believe "a lie" that "thatWicked" is God! This "lie" isspiritually catastrophic andDarby removed this warningfrom the verse!]

That they all might bedamned who believed notthe truth, but had pleasurein unrighteousness.

that all might be judged whohave not believed the truth,but have found pleasure inunrighteousness

[Darby removed the penaltyof damnation for those whobelieve not the truth but havepleasure in unrighteousness.The word, "judged" carrieswith it the threat of doom butit does not necessarily meandamnation. To be damnedmeans to suffer everlastingpunishment in hell.]

But we are bound to givethanks alway to God foryou, brethren beloved ofthe Lord, because Godhath from the beginningchosen you to salvationthrough sanctification ofthe Spirit and belief of thetruth:

¶ But we ought to give thanksto God always for you,brethren beloved of [the]Lord, that God has chosenyou from [the] beginning tosalvation in sanctification of[the] Spirit and belief of [the]truth:

2 Thess. 2:15

So then, brethren, stand firm,and hold fast the instructionswhich ye have been taught,whether by word or by ourletter.

[John Darby's task was tobring new doctrine (falselyrepresented as "recoveredtruths") to the church. Itwould not serve his purposeto produce a bible translationthat urges the brethren tohold fast the traditions whichthey had been taught.]

¶ Now our Lord JesusChrist himself, and God,even our Father, whichhath loved us, and hathgiven us everlastingconsolation and good hopethrough grace,

Darby Version: Title of New Age World TeacherReplaces Christ

The term, "The Christ" is used only 19 times in the KJV. John Nelson Darby used thephrase "the Christ" a total of 131 times in his Darby Version—replacing the KJVword, Christ with "the Christ" at least 100 times. Take note that John Darby removedthe word, "Christ" (which refers to the individual, Jesus of Nazareth) and replaced itwith the phrase, "the Christ" which New Agers regard as the office and title of theirWorld Teacher.

Below is a sampling of John Darby's switch from Christ to "the Christ."

King James Bible John Darby Version

Neither be yecalledmasters: forone is yourMaster, evenChrist.

Matthew23:10

Neither be called instructors, for one is yourinstructor, the Christ.

[In this verse, Darby's "the Christ" is a mereinstructor (teacher) like "the Christ" of theNew Age Movement.]

[Click here to see the 46 New Testamentverses where Darby reduced the Lord JesusChrist to a mere teacher.]

And daily inthe temple,and in everyhouse, theyceased not toteach andpreach JesusChrist.

Acts 5:42 And every day, in the temple and in the houses, theyceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidingsthat Jesus was the Christ.

But Saulincreased themore instrength, andconfoundedthe Jewswhich dwelt atDamascus,proving thatthis is veryChrist.

Acts 9:22 But Saul increased the more in power, andconfounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus,proving that this is the Christ.

John Darby & Cyrus I. Scofield's"Habitable Earth/World" Doctrine

Habitable means "capable of being inhabited; that maybe inhabited." In these latter days, who determineswhich parts of the earth are habitable? The UnitedNations Division for Sustainable Development--Agenda21. They are working to bring what they havedetermined to be the habitable portions of the world underthe control of a ruling elite. (And yes, the "Intelligence" that ledJohn Darby in his bible translation and C. I. Scofield in hismarginal-note alterations knew all about SustainableDevelopment...long before the general public knew of any suchplans.)

John Nelson Darby changed bible doctrine by modifyingthe words, earth and world with the word, "habitable."(Cyrus Ingerson Scofield followed suit in his 1917 ScofieldReference Bible.) As you read the verses in the John DarbyVersion in which he inserted the word, "habitable," you willdiscover how this not only altered Bible doctrine--including JesusChrist's command of where the gospel is to be preached--but thisword also served to pave the way for the acceptance of thedoctrine of Sustainable Development by those who otherwisewould be most resistant to it:

Bible-believing Christians

Darby Version: Matthew 24:14 And these glad tidings of thekingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for awitness to all the nations, and then shall come the end. [KJV: Inall the world]

Scofield's Marginal note: Margin: oikoumene = inhabited earth.(Lk. 2:1)

The real Bible (KJV 1611) says the gospel shall be preached in allthe world. John Darby chose to have his "bible" say "these gladtidings shall be preached in the whole habitable earth."

it is chilling to contemplate that the "Intelligence" that led JohnDarby to translate the Bible in this manner was well aware thatone day the United Nations Division For Sustainable Developmentwould impose upon the world's population their determination ofwhich parts of the earth are habitable.

Page 118: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Darby Version: Luke 2:1 But it came to pass in those days that adecree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should bemade of all the habitable world. [KJV: all the world]

Scofield's Marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited earth.

Scofield's footnote comment on Luke 2:1:

Gr. "oikoumene"= "inhabited earth." This passage is noteworthyas defining the usual N.T. use of oikoumene as the sphere ofRoman rule at its greatest extent, that is, of the great Gentileworld-monarchies Da 2:7. That part of the earth is thereforepeculiarly the sphere of prophecy.

John Darby's frequent use of the globalist buzz phrases,"habitable world" and "habitable earth" in his Bible translationand Scofield's use of "inhabited earth" in his footnotes impartsthe message that God originated the doctrine of SustainableDevelopment! (Actullly, it was Satan, the god of the One WorldChurch and One World Government who originated the habitableearth/world doctrine.)

Darby Version: Luke 4:5 And the devil, leading him up into a highmountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable worldin a moment of time. [KJV: kingdoms of the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited earth. (Lk. 2:1)

Darby Version: Luke 21:26 men ready to die through fear andexpectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for thepowers of the heavens shall be shaken. [KJV: earth]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth.

John Darby and Cyrus Scofield limited the scope of theterrible things that would come upon the earth at thereturn of Jesus Christ by adding the word, "habitable"to earth. According to Darby's and Scofield's "habitableearth" rendering of these verses, only the areas (inwhich Agenda 21 has) designated as habitable willcome under the judgment of God.

Darby Version: Acts 17:31 because he has set a day in which heis going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by theman whom he has appointed, giving the proof of it to all in havingraised him from among the dead. [KJV: the world]

Page 119: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth.

According to the Darby Bible and Scofield's marginal notes, Godwill judge only the habitable earth in righteousness. Darbychanged the Bible doctrine of God's judgment of the world to theNWO-correct judgment of habitable earth.

Darby Version: Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard?Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and theirwords to the extremities of the habitable world. [KJV: theworld]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

Darby Version: Hebrews 1:6 and again, when he brings in thefirstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God'sangels worship him. [KJV: the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

Darby Version: Hebrews 2:5 For he has not subjected to angelsthe habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;[KJV: the world to come]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

Darby Version: Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the wordof my patience, *I* also will keep thee out of the hour of trial,which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to trythem that dwell upon the earth. [KJV: all the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

Darby Version: Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was castout, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, hewho deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out intothe earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [KJV: the wholeworld]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

Page 120: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

According to John Darby's allegedly "very literal" bible translationand Scofield's marginal-note-altered KJV, the devil conforms tothe "UN blueprint for global transformation." (1) Considering thefact that Satan is behind the heinous plan to force the world'spopulation into restricted zones which can be most easilymanaged by Antichrist's regime, it is disconcerting that JohnDarby and Cyrus Scofield included this brazen marking in theirfoundational works—The John Darby Version and the 1909 and1917 Scofield Reference Bible.

Darby Version: Revelation 16:14 for they are the spirits ofdemons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the wholehabitable world to gather them together to the war of thatgreat day of God the Almighty. [KJV: the whole world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabitedearth. (Lk. 2:1)

John Darby's and Cyrus Scofield's insertion of the word,"habitable" into key Bible verses supports and legitimizes theUnited Nations' plan to designate certain portions of the earth ashabitable (the areas in which they can most easily control thepopulation) while the rest is uninhabitable. The habitableearth/world doctrine is only one of occult markings Darby andScofield made to Holy Bible via direct text and marginal notealterations. (Another doozy is C.I. Scofield's use of the occultterm at-one-ment in his Reference Bible.

John Darby's Version of Christ rose from "among thedead"

To rise from "the dead" (the state of being dead) does not have thesame connotation as to rise from "among the dead" (possessing likequalities or being conjoined with the dead). Every person who isamong the dead is in this company because "all have sinned and comeshort of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23) The Lord Jesus Christ was neveramong this number.

Unlike those who are "among the dead," death did not pass upon himbecause he sinned ("In him is no sin" 1 Jn. 3:5) ; rather, he willingly"laid down his life" (1 Jn. 3:16) to take away the sins of the world. JesusChrist, who died to redeem sinners, temporarily experienced death but his death wasnot in the same category as the untold number of people who are "among the dead."John Darby's "among the dead" scripture alteration represents the Lord Jesus Christas a sinner. (He made Jesus out to be a sinner here too.) Verses of special note:

Rom. 10:7 {“or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ fromamong the dead.” [John Darby's Version of Christ was in the abyss! One of thedefinitions of abyss is hell.]}

King James Bible John Darby Version

And as they came downfrom the mountain, Jesuscharged them, saying, Tellthe vision to no man, untilthe Son of man be risenagain from the dead.

Matthew 17:9 And as they descended fromthe mountain, Jesus chargedthem, saying, Tell the visionto no one, until the Son ofman be risen up from amongthe dead.

And as they came downfrom the mountain, hecharged them that theyshould tell no man whatthings they had seen, tillthe Son of man were risenfrom the dead.

Mark 9:9 And as they descended fromthe mountain, he chargedthem that they should relateto no one what they had seen,unless when the Son of manshould be risen from amongthe dead.

And they kept that sayingwith themselves,questioning one withanother what the risingfrom the dead shouldmean.

Mark 9:10 And they kept that saying,questioning amongthemselves, what rising fromamong the dead was.

Page 122: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

And as they were afraid,and bowed down theirfaces to the earth, theysaid unto them, Why seekye the living among thedead?

[The usage of "amongthe dead" isstraightforward.Jesus' disciples werelooking for a deadbody. "Among thedead" properly refersto a burial place inthis verse.]

Luke 24:5 And as they were filled withfear and bowed their faces tothe ground, they said tothem, Why seek ye the livingone among the dead?

And said unto them, Thusit is written, and thus itbehoved Christ to suffer,and to rise from the deadthe third day:

[The Son of God is inheaven and is seated atthe Father's right hand.The heavens include theearth's atmosphere,outer space, and thethird heaven.]

[For John Darby to placeJesus Christ in the heavensrather than in heaven is notthat surprising consideringthat he lowered the status ofthe Lord Jesus Christ in otherverses of his Darby Version aswell.]

John Darby Version Removed "Damned" and"Damnation"

Cyrus Scofield followed John Darby's lead by replacing the words, "damned" and"damnation" with words that modern bible translators, rather than God, wouldapprove. Scofield's use of copious marginal notes and footnotes altered the meaningof the KJV text just as surely as if he had produced his own bible "version."

NOTE: The word, damnation has a specific meaning: the state of beingcondemned to eternal punishment in hell. It follows that Darby and Scofieldreplaced hell with hades.

And death and hell werecast into the lake of fire.This is the second death.

Revelation 20:14 and death and hades werecast into the lake of fire. Thisis the second death, even thelake of fire.

John Darby and CyrusScofield changed hell tohades, which theydefined as:

(Darby): ". . . thetemporary state of departedspirits, the unseen world. . ."(1)

(Scofield): "the unseenworld," is revealed as theplace of departed humanspirits between deathand resurrection. (2)

The Lord Jesus Christ warnedthat Hell is a "furnace of fire"where the wicked are sentafter death; it is the place ofthe damned. Since Darby andScofield removed hell frommany verses, it follows thatthey removed damnation aswell via Darby's Version andScofield's marginal-note-altered KJV.)

And the sea gave up thedead which were in it; anddeath and hell deliveredup the dead which were inthem: and they werejudged every manaccording to their works.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the deadwhich [were] in it, and deathand hades gave up the deadwhich [were] in them; andthey were judged eachaccording to their works:

[Darby changed hell tohades.]

Saying, I am Alpha andOmega, the first and thelast: and, What thouseest, write in a book, andsend it unto the sevenchurches which are inAsia; unto Ephesus, andunto Smyrna, and untoPergamos, and untoThyatira, and unto Sardis,and unto Philadelphia, andunto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:11 saying, What thou seest writein a book, and send to theseven assemblies: toEphesus, and to Smyrna, andto Pergamos, and to Thyatira,and to Sardis, and toPhiladelphia, and to Laodicea.

[Darby replaced"churches" withassemblies and removed"I am Alpha and Omega,the first and the last."]

And the seventh angelsounded; and there weregreat voices in heaven,saying, The kingdoms ofthis world are become thekingdoms of our Lord, andof his Christ; and he shallreign for ever and ever.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angelsounded [his] trumpet: andthere were great voices in theheaven, saying, The kingdomof the world of our Lord andof his Christ is come, and heshall reign to the ages ofages.

Darby drasticallychanged this verse. Hechanged "The kingdoms ofthis world are become thekingdoms of our Lord, and ofhis Christ" to "The kingdom(singular) of the world ofour Lord and of his Christis come"

This Bible verse teaches usthat the kingdoms of theworld (which are currentlyunder the authority of Satan,the "god of this world") willbecome the kingdoms of ourLord (the God of the Bible)and of his Christ.

Darby's alterations to the textcorrespond with the beliefs of

Page 138: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

New Agers. They deny thatthe kingdoms of the world(which are currently underSatan's rule) will becomethe kingdoms of the God ofthe Bible and of his Christ.They believe the kingdom ofthe world of (their) Lord and(their) Christ is to come.

Saying, We give theethanks, O Lord GodAlmighty, which art, andwast, and art to come;because thou hast takento thee thy great power,and hast reigned.

[Darby altered Revelation1:19, 2:10, 3:10, 3:16, 6:11,8:13, and 17:8 with thewords, "about to" in order toadd a sense of immediacy tothe verses.]

Page 139: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby and Cyrus I. Scofield on the "Day ofChrist"

The 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible reveals that CyrusScofield (following in John Darby's footsteps) made two days out of one day bydevising a different meaning for "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord." This wasnecessary to create the doctrine of the imminent, secret return of Jesus Christ.(Darby was so zealous to promote the doctrine of the imminent return of JesusChrist, he inserted imminence into his Bible translation.)

C. I. Scofield placed two comings of Jesus Christ into his 1917 Reference Bible bystating that "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" apply to saints onlyand "day of the Lord" applies to the judgment of the world. By assigning thesynonymous terms, "day of Christ/day of the Lord Jesus Christ" and "day of theLord" to different events, Scofield produced what cannot be found in the unalteredand non-footnoted KJV 1611 Bible: a two-staged return of Jesus Christ.

Scofield's 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote:

The expression "day of Christ," occurs in the following passages: 1Co 1:8; 5:5; 2Co1:14; Php 1:6; 2:16. A.V. has "day of Christ," 2Th 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of theLord" Isa 2:12; Re 19:11-21 The "day of Christ" relates wholly to the reward andblessing of saints at his coming, as "day of the Lord" is connected with judgment.[Emphasis mine.]

John Darby Version Replaced "World" with "Age"(Dispensation)

According to the Scofield 1917 Reference Bible, "A dispensation is a period of timeduring which man is tested in respect to some specific revelation of the Will of God"[emphasis mine]

J. N. Darby (and Cyrus Scofield, via his marginal notes and footnotes) altered keyNew Testament prophetic passages by replacing the word, "world" with "age." Inmost of these instances, the substitution of the word, "age" for "world"communicates the idea of the end of a dispensation (age) rather than the end of theworld.

Occult Phrase, "Works of Power" MarksDarby Version

"Works of power" is a term largely used by occultists!(For example, theosophist Helena Blavatsky used thisterm in her writings.) To my knowledge "works ofpower" appears in Darby's translation of the scripturesand the Bible in Basic English. Darby marked hisversion 15 times with this phrase.

Matthew 7:22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, havewe not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* namecast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works ofpower? [KJV: wonderful works]

George Müeller Chose His Bible OverDarby's Doctrines

George Müeller, a truly godly man who was once amember of the Plymouth Brethren, admitted that hissupport of John Darby's doctrines must not continue ifhe were to remain true to God's word:

"My brother, I am a constant reader of my Bible, and I soonfound that what I was taught to believe did not always agree withwhat my Bible said. I came to see that I must either partcompany with John Darby, or my precious Bible, and I chose tocling to my Bible and part from Mr. Darby." -George Müeller, acontemporary and one-time supporter of Darby quoted by RobertCameron in his book, Scriptural Truth About the Lord's Return,pages 146-147

God's Wisdom & Understanding VsDarby's Intelligence

Below are the definitions of the words that J.N. Darbyreplaced with "intelligence" in his John Darby Version.

I have emphasized the part of each definition that especially fitsthe biblical use of the words cited in this chart. John Darbyrepeatedly used the word, "intelligence" to replace moralattributes that God gives to those who belong to him:understanding, wisdom, and judgment.

wise: 1. Properly, having knowledge; hence, having the powerof discerning and judging correctly, or of discriminating betweenwhat is true and what is false; between what is fit and proper,and what is improper; as a wise prince; a wise magistrate.Solomon was deemed the wisest man. But a man may bespeculatively and not practically wise.

wisdom: (noun) 1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; thechoice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplishthem. This is wisdom in act, effect, or practice. If wisdom is to beconsidered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerningor judging what is most just, proper and useful, and if it is to beconsidered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use ofwhat is best, most just, most proper, most conducive toprosperity or happiness. Wisdom in the first sense, or practicalwisdom, is nearly synonymous with discretion. It differssomewhat from prudence, in this respect; prudence is theexercise of sound judgment in avoiding evils; wisdom is theexercise of sound judgment either in avoiding evils orattempting good. Prudence then is a species, of which wisdomis the genus.

understanding (noun) 1. The faculty of the human mind bywhich it apprehends the real state of things presented to it, or bywhich it receives or comprehends the ideas which others expressand intend to communicate. The understanding is called also theintellectual faculty. It is the faculty by means of which we obtaina great part of our knowledge. Luke 24. Eph. 1.

By understanding I mean that faculty whereby we are enabledto apprehend the objects of knowledge, generals orparticulars, absent or present, and to judge of their truth orfalsehood, good or evil.

Page 154: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

foolish (noun) 1. Void of understanding or soundjudgment; weak in intellect; applied to general character.

2. Unwise; imprudent; acting without judgment or discretion inparticular things.

3. Proceeding from folly, or marked with folly; silly; vain; trifling.

judgment (noun) The act of judging; the act or process of themind in comparing its ideas, to find their agreement ordisagreement, and to ascertain truth; or the process ofexamining facts and arguments, to ascertain propriety andjustice; or the process of examining the relations between oneproposition and another.

1. The faculty of the mind by which man is enabled tocompare ideas and ascertain the relations of termsand propositions; as a man of clear judgment or soundjudgment. The judgment may be biased by prejudice.Judgment supplies the want of certain knowledge

George Ricker Berry Interlinear: Corrupt Foundation

I had never heard of the Interlinear KJV Parallel

Page 156: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Greek-English New Testament by George Ricker Berry untilI read an internet article written by Barbara Aho that used theGeorge Ricker Berry Interlinear to "prove" the King James 1611Bible is incorrectly translated regarding the mark of the beastbeing "in" the hand or "in" the forehead. Mrs. Aho seeks toconvince her readers that the Greek word, "epi," (which the KingJames translators usually translated as "in" in the mark of thebeast verses) should have been translated "on" because theGeorge Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear, the Strong'sConcordance, (1) and another work says so. In fact, Mrs. Ahostated:

The King James Version, although far superior to modernversions, does not always follow the Textus Receptus, theReceived Greek Text of the New Testament. (2)

By this, she means the King James Version does not alwaysmatch the English definitions provided in the George Ricker BerryEnglish Interlinear. Indeed it does not, and for very good reasons.

Due to the fact that most modern bible versions and someprominent false teachers of bible prophecy also teach the mark ofthe beast will be "on" the hand or "on" forehead, I knew it wastime to investigate the George Ricker Berry Greek to EnglishInterlinear. I have since learned that this interlinear has beenused for decades in KJV Bible colleges and seminaries and iscurrently being endorsed by ministries dedicated to defending theKing James 1611 Bible.

The English definitions in the George Ricker Berry Interlinear arethe work of one man, Thomas Newberry. Newberry, a PlymouthBrethren leader who chose to mark his Newberry Reference Bible(originally published in 1893) with New Age jargon, selected theEnglish words for the literal translation of the Stephens 1550Greek text (Received Text) which was published in the UnitedStates in 1897 under the name, The George Ricker Berry Greekto English Interlinear.

In view of the fact that Thomas Newberry's choice of words forthe George Ricker Berry English Interlinear matches many of thewords chosen by the New King James Version editors—almost100 years later—I am not surprised the New King James[transitional] Version has been so widely received among formerKing James 1611 Bible readers.

1611 New Testament? Should the discerning Christian use theGeorge Ricker Berry Interlinear New Testament--KJV to verify theaccuracy of the King James 1611 New Testament? I believe thatafter you have learned more about the background of the manwho authored the English definitions and examined the charts youwill agree the answer is "No."

Thomas Newberry's word-for-word literal translation from theGreek sometimes presents Bible passages in a substantiallydifferent way than the King James 1611. [See chart] The 1611King James Bible was translated from the Received Text intoentire phrases and complete sentences for English readers. Literaltranslations translate each word independently which can oftenskew the meaning:

Literal translation refers to the result of translatingtext from one language to another; translating eachword independently as opposed to translating theentire phrase. Literal translations also ignore idioms.

For example, a literal translation of the German word"Kindergarten" would be, "garden of children", but inEnglish it refers to the year of school between pre-school and first grade. (3)

A respected Baptist pastor who is learned in Greek and regardsthe KJV as the word of God kindly shared his views regarding theGeorge Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear. He told me thathe used this interlinear as an aid to help him learn Greek (yearsago the George Ricker Berry was the only interlinear availablethat was translated from the Received Text) but he warned thatreaders without a solid Greek background are better off if theystay away from this interlinear. This makes sense when oneconsiders the nature of literal translations:

The problem with this form of translation is that itassumes a moderate degree of familiarity with thesubject matter on the part of the reader. (4)

The pastor explained that an understanding of Greek is necessaryso that one is not misled due to the way certain Greek words aretranslated in the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear. Forexample, the Greek word that is translated by Newberry as "agesto ages" means one thing to a person familiar with Greek andsomething entirely different to the English reader with nobackground in the Greek language. To the English reader with noGreek knowledge (such as myself), the phrase "ages of the ages"means to continue for an indefinite period of time. To a Greek

Page 158: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

student the Greek word that was literally rendered "ages of theages" means eternal or everlasting. Someone with no Greekbackground would not be aware of this and could easily bestumbled and even go on to deceive others because the phrase,"ages of the ages" is used in place of the word "everlasting" inthe George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear.

Indeed, a Universalist who believes that "as Bibletranslations become purer, we find that references toHell vanish from the pages of the Bible" (5) cited theNewberry Reference Bible in an attempt to "prove" the heresythat eternal punishment is not eternal. First the Universalist citeda marginal note, "the ages of the ages" in the NewberryReference Bible 1893:

1. And these shall_go_away into everlasting punishment: but therighteous into life eternal.2. And the devil that deceived them was_cast into the lake of fireand brimstone, where the beast and the false_prophet are, andshall_be_tormented day and night forever and ever.

margin: the ages of the ages.

Next he used Newberry's marginal note to override the plainteaching about hell in the King James 1611:

The Newberry is a KJV. The marginal notes open manydoors to see what is behind the English text. A stepout of "hell" forever. Hints are dropped that the Greekwords which KJV translated "eternal", "forever," etc.really deal with ages, not eternity. The margins alsoreveal the original Greek and Hebrew words translated"hell." A diligent person could see that "eternalpunishment" was a false translation from this KJVReference Bible. The more we are told, the clearer itbecomes that Jesus will save all mankind and do itScripturally! (6)

In view of the fact that people are being led astray due toThomas Newberry's marginal notes, I do not share the pastor'sbelief that the English definitions in the George Ricker BerryEnglish Interlinear are fairly harmless as long as the readerunderstands Greek. I continue to have grave suspicions regardingthe George Ricker Berry English Interlinear because the author,Thomas Newberry, was against the Textus Receptus!

My other concerns regarding Newberry's Interlinear

Page 159: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

include:

It contains words and phrases that (like the modernversions) promote New Age doctrine and demote the LordJesus Christ. (For example, Newberry, in keeping with hisnot-so-hidden modern version agenda, changed the word,"her" to "their" thus making Jesus in need of purificationas well as his mother.)

It shares New Age phrases and wording in common withmodern bible versions, including the corrupt NKJV. Seeproof of this statement in the chart, The George RickerBerry and the Darby Translation Compared. This chartreveals that Thomas Newberry's work often matchesanother Plymouth Brethren translation, the DarbyTranslation.

The author, Thomas Newberry, used the New Age title,"the Coming One" in reference to Jehovah and I AM. Healso paved the way for the Sacred Name Movement bystating that "YAH" (which is a pagan Hebrew mysteryname) is a name of God: "The Title JAH or YAH is at onceone of the sublimest yet simplest of the Divine names." (7)

These are clearly modern version markings upon Newberry'swork. [Note: Like the NKJV translators, Thomas Newberryreplaced the words, "he that should come," with the name of theNew Age World Teacher--the Coming One]

Thomas Newberry did not truly hold to the Received Text or theKJV as the word of God in English. (Indeed, Thomas Newberryexalted the Revised Version and its underlying Greek texts abovethe the Authorized Version.) This fact is further evidenced byNewberry's complete collation of six critical Greek texts (8)written by modernists which are placed in the lower margin ofevery page of his George Ricker Berry Greek to EnglishInterlinear.

At this point you might not be surprised to learn that ThomasNewberry owned and studied his own copy of the corrupt CodexSinaiticus manuscript. Dr. David O. Fuller cited Dean John W.Burgon as referring to this Alexandrian manuscript as "verynearly the foulest in existence." (9) Newberry poured over hiscopy of the Codex Sinaiticus for 25 years and used the knowledgegained from his study to write the notes for his Newberry StudyBible!

Evidence of his minute attention to the sacred text lies before meas I write, in a beautiful copy of Tischendorf's transcription of theNew Testament according to the Codex Sinaiticus, presented tohim by friends in London in 1863, which is annotated throughoutin his neat handwriting. It was after twenty-five years devoted to

Page 160: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

such study that he conceived the plan of putting its fruits at thedisposal of his fellow-Christians in The Newberry Study Bible."(10)

Why are Christians who regard the King James 1611 Bible as theword of God comparing the real English Bible with an EnglishInterlinear written by a man who studied "very nearly the foulest"Minority Text manuscript in existence for 25 years and who usedthe fruits of his study to write marginal notes and alternateEnglish definitions for his Newberry Study Bible? It is unrealisticto assume that Thomas Newberry's 25-year study of the CodexSinaiticus had no effect upon the way he conducted his "literal,"word-for-word translation of the Stephanus 1550 Greek NewTestament into English.

It is worthy to note that the publisher of the George Ricker BerryGreek to English Interlinear does not disclose the true author ofthe English Interlinear anywhere within its pages. The reader isled to believe that George Ricker Berry wrote the EnglishInterlinear when in fact G. R. Berry wrote only the Greek-EnglishNew Testament Lexicon and the New Testament Synonyms foundat the back of the Greek to English Interlinear that bears hisname.

The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear or anyinterlinear (or any Reference Bible) should not be used by anyoneto cast doubt on or to "verify" the King James Bible.

George Ricker Berry Author AgainstTextus Receptus

Some Bible teachers and preachers are moving away fromupholding the King James translation as the best translation ofthe Holy Bible in English (the real Bible in English) and are urgingChristians to depend upon an interlinear, such as the GeorgeRicker Berry Interlinear as an authoritative tool to verify whetherthe Textus Receptus (Received Text) is accurately translated intoEnglish in the Authorized Version (KJV).

Some preachers and teachers regard the English wordschosen by Thomas Newberry— author of the George Ricker BerryGreek to English Interlinear—as being more authoritative thanthe KJV. Read on to learn why this is not the case.

The reason it is wrong to use the Interlinear KJVParallel Greek-English New Testament by George RickerBerry to try to assure yourself the KJV is properly translated isbecause the REAL AUTHOR OF THIS INTERLINEAR —ThomasNewberry—regarded the Received Text as "faulty" andrepresented the KJV as having many inaccuracies, errors, andobscurities in renderings:

The Revised Version.— This is the result of repeated expressionsof dissatisfaction with the Authorised Version, repeated attemptsto amend it, and repeated calls for its revision, on account of thefaulty state of the original text it proceeded upon, thecomparatively defective knowledge of the original languageson the part of the translators, and the proved presence ofmany inaccuracies, errors, and obscurities in therenderings. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,pg. 944)

The author of the George Ricker Berry Greek to English

Page 162: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Interlinear boldly exalted the Revised Version over the KJV:

This Revised Version gives evidence of being the work of menwell qualified as scholars for their task, and animated with anequally tender regard for both the original Scripture and theAuthorised Version. It is certainly much more accurate intext and translation than the older version, but less pure andmusical in its English. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,pg. 945)

Why would Thomas Newberry, a Plymouth Brethren leader, wholike John Darby, regarded the Textus Receptus to be inferior tothe critical Greek Text, translate the Received Text into English?The answer is obvious: to attempt to discredit the King James1611!

It is no longer a mystery why the George Ricker Berry Interlinearreads like a MODERN VERSION in many places].

Note: The text the Authorized Version (KJV1611) proceededfrom is the Textus Receptus (Received Text).

The George Ricker Berry English Interlinear is Corrupt

Author Gail Riplinger rightly warned against trusting the Englishdefinitions found in the Interlinear KJV Parallel Greek-English NewTestament by George Ricker Berry:

[The George Ricker Berry Greek/English Interlinear's] highlycorrupt English interlinear was drawn from a lexicon by theChrist-hating and blood and Trinity-denying Unitarian, J.H.Thayer (Thayer’s Lexicon)! He was on the vile ASV committee.[1]

While the George Ricker Berry English interlinear is indeedcorrupt, its definitions did not come from George Ricker Berry.Berry wrote the Greek-English New Testament Lexicon and theNew Testament Synonyms which are found at the back of the

Page 163: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Greek/English Interlinear that bears his name. It is this materialthat was drawn from Thayer's Lexicon. (See: Introduction to NewTestament Lexicon, pages iii-v)

Like me, you might be surprised to learn that Thomas Newberry,author of the Newberry Reference Bible and prominent memberof the Plymouth Brethren movement, provided the Englishdefinitions found in the George Ricker Berry Greek/Englishinterlinear. The George Ricker Berry Greek to EnglishInterlinear, (published in 1897) is the American reprint ofThomas Newberry's The Englishman's Greek NewTestament (London: Samuel Bagster, 1877.) [2]

This interlinear is simply an American reprint of the Bagsteredition prepared by Thomas Newberry (see Newberry 1877) witha different Introduction and with G.R. Berry's Lexicon andSynonyms added to the end. [3]

The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear NewTestament has been serving as a bridge to modern versions sinceits publication in 1897. This was accomplished via ThomasNewberry's "emended" English definitions of the Textus Receptusand his inclusion of footnotes to critical Greek text readings.These maneuverings made the George Ricker Berry interlinear avehicle to promote textual criticism among King James 1611adherents. The theological changes he made to the text thatconform to many changes in modern versions and his posting ofGreek texts selected by liberals and unbelievers who wereopposed to the Received Text reveal Thomas Newberry's REALAGENDA.

Below are the names of some of the fathers of moderntextual criticism whose work is reprinted (with nodisclaimer) in the George Ricker Berry Interlinear tothe subversion of the souls of many:

Noble, 1897. [4]

Newberry cited the work of Johan Jakob Griesbach, aparticularly well-known opponent of the ReceivedText:

JOHANN JAKOB GRIESBACH (1745-1812) was one of the earliestfathers of modern textual criticism. Marvin R. Vincent says, “WithGriesbach, really critical texts may be said to have begun” (AHistory of the Textual Criticism of the New Testament, 1899, p.100) [5]

Thomas Newberry was not in the company of godlymen in his promotion of Griesbach:

Though Bible-believing men of the early 19th century rejectedGriesbach and his textual theories, he was well received by theChrist-denying Unitarians. This is stated plainly in A History ofUnitarianism in Transylvania, England and America. [6]

The George Ricker Berry Interlinear and the KJVCompared

Below is a comparison of selected texts from the George Ricker Berry EnglishInterlinear and the King James 1611. (Many NKJV texts are included for

comparison.) There are many more differences but these changes often matchthose found in modern bible versions. Why is this the case? Two Charts listed

below.

George Ricker Berry Author AgainstTextus Receptus

Some Bible teachers and preachers are moving away fromupholding the King James translation as the best translation ofthe Holy Bible in English (the real Bible in English) and are urgingChristians to depend upon an interlinear, such as the GeorgeRicker Berry Interlinear as an authoritative tool to verify whetherthe Textus Receptus (Received Text) is accurately translated intoEnglish in the Authorized Version (KJV).

Some preachers and teachers regard the English wordschosen by Thomas Newberry— author of the George Ricker BerryGreek to English Interlinear—as being more authoritative thanthe KJV. Read on to learn why this is not the case.

The reason it is wrong to use the Interlinear KJVParallel Greek-English New Testament by George RickerBerry to try to assure yourself the KJV is properly translated isbecause the REAL AUTHOR OF THIS INTERLINEAR —ThomasNewberry—regarded the Received Text as "faulty" andrepresented the KJV as having many inaccuracies, errors, andobscurities in renderings:

The Revised Version.— This is the result of repeated expressionsof dissatisfaction with the Authorised Version, repeated attemptsto amend it, and repeated calls for its revision, on account of thefaulty state of the original text it proceeded upon, thecomparatively defective knowledge of the original languageson the part of the translators, and the proved presence ofmany inaccuracies, errors, and obscurities in therenderings. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,pg. 944)

The author of the George Ricker Berry Greek to EnglishInterlinear boldly exalted the Revised Version over the KJV:

This Revised Version gives evidence of being the work of menwell qualified as scholars for their task, and animated with anequally tender regard for both the original Scripture and theAuthorised Version. It is certainly much more accurate intext and translation than the older version, but less pure andmusical in its English. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,

Page 166: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

pg. 945)

Why would Thomas Newberry, a Plymouth Brethren leader, wholike John Darby, regarded the Textus Receptus to be inferior tothe critical Greek Text, translate the Received Text into English?The answer is obvious: to attempt to discredit the King James1611!

It is no longer a mystery why the George Ricker Berry Interlinearreads like a MODERN VERSION in many places].

Note: The text the Authorized Version (KJV1611) proceededfrom is the Textus Receptus (Received Text).

John Nelson Darby and Cyrus I. Scofield on the "Day ofChrist"

The 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible reveals that CyrusScofield (following in John Darby's footsteps) made two days out of one day bydevising a different meaning for "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord." This wasnecessary to create the doctrine of the imminent, secret return of Jesus Christ.(Darby was so zealous to promote the doctrine of the imminent return of JesusChrist, he inserted imminence into his Bible translation.)

C. I. Scofield placed two comings of Jesus Christ into his 1917 Reference Bible bystating that "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" apply to saints onlyand "day of the Lord" applies to the judgment of the world. By assigning thesynonymous terms, "day of Christ/day of the Lord Jesus Christ" and "day of theLord" to different events, Scofield produced what cannot be found in the unalteredand non-footnoted KJV 1611 Bible: a two-staged return of Jesus Christ.

Cyrus I. Scofield's 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote:

The expression "day of Christ," occurs in the following passages: 1Co 1:8; 5:5; 2Co1:14; Php 1:6; 2:16. A.V. has "day of Christ," 2Th 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of theLord" Isa 2:12; Re 19:11-21 The "day of Christ" relates wholly to the reward andblessing of saints at his coming, as "day of the Lord" is connected with judgment.[Emphasis mine.]

The Difference Between Tribulation andWrath

I would like to comment on another segment of ToddStrandberg's article, "God Hath Not Appointed Us toWrath":

"In 1 Thessalonians 5:9 Paul assures us that God has notappointed His people to wrath. This wrath is plainly God's angerthat will be poured out during the Tribulation. Pre-Trib believersinterpret this as meaning that Christians will be removed from theearth. Post-Trib believers tell a different story. They describe thisas meaning that God will protect Christians during the Tribulationand pour this wrath out on the unbelievers only. This idea runsagainst the statement made in Rev. 13:7, where the Antichrist isgiven power to make war with the saints and to overcome them.A post-Trib view would make God's promise of protection fromwrath into a lie. In years past, it was possible to think of beingprotected from the guns and swords of that day. Today, whenany major war would involve nuclear and chemical weapons, it'simpossible to expect that same kind of protection. WhenNagasaki, Japan was bombed during W.W.II, the bomb explodedover a Catholic church. Everyone that was in the center of theexplosion died, both Christians and non-Christians. The only wayto validly interpret God's promise of protection from wrath, is byviewing I Thess. 5:9 as the bodily removal of the Church fromthis world."

My comments:

Todd Strandberg's statements, "A post-Trib view would makeGod's promise of protection from wrath into a lie" is not true.

God's wrath and Antichrist's wrath are entirely different things.The purpose of the Tribulation is for Antichrist to have his time topour out his wrath on the inhabitants of the earth who will notbow down and worship him and take his mark. (Rev. 12:12)God's wrath comes later, after the Lord Jesus Christ returns forHis church.

Making the words tribulation and wrath mean thesame thing is not honest when one honestly checksthe context of scripture. The words, "tribulation" and"wrath" are not interchangeable.

Jesus Christ promised that we would have tribulation in this world

Page 231: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

(John 16:33 and Rev. 2:10). He also prayed to the Father that wewould not be taken out of this world during tribulation but thatwe would be kept from evil. (John 17:15).

(John 16:33) "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me yemight have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be ofgood cheer; I have overcome the world." (Revelation 2:10) "Fearnone of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shallcast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall havetribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee acrown of life." (John 17:15) "I pray not that thou shouldest takethem out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from theevil."

God also tells us to wait for "his Son from heaven,whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, whodelivered us from the wrath to come." We must waitfor the Lord Jesus, who has already delivered us fromthe wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whomhe raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from thewrath to come.

The Lord Jesus Christ has already delivered eachChristian from the wrath to come! This verse does notsay "will deliver." It says delivered. The Bible tells usplainly what "the wrath to come" means. The wrath ofGod is directed toward those who refuse to repent andreceive His mercy: the children of disobedience. Thewrath of God is His punishment on unbelievers. (SeeLuke 3:7, Eph. 5:6, Col. 3:6, Rev. 6:17)

(Luke 3:7) "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to bebaptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to fleefrom the wrath to come?"

(Ephesians 5:6) "Let no man deceive you with vain words: forbecause of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children ofdisobedience."

(Colossians 3:6) "For which things’ sake the wrath of God comethon the children of disobedience:"

(Revelation 6:17) "For the great day of his wrath is come; and whoshall be able to stand?"

Page 232: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

The saints of God are appointed to tribulation.

The children of disobedience are appointed to God'swrath.

In Greek, the word wrath (ogre--3709) meanspunishment God executes against the wicked.

The word tribulation (thilipsis--2347) refers to thesufferings that Christians go through in this world forChrist.

God allows his children to endure tribulation.

Matthew 13:21, 24:9, 21, 29

(Matthew 13:21) "Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for whentribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."

(Matthew 24:9) "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake."

(Matthew 24:21) "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since thebeginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

(Matthew 24:29) "¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sunbe darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall fromheaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"

Mark 4:17, 13:19, 24,

(Mark 4:17) "And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediatelythey are offended."

(Mark 13:19) "For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from thebeginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be."

(Mark 13:24) "¶ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened,and the moon shall not give her light,"

Acts 7:10, 11, 11:19

(Acts 7:10-11) "And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favourand wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over

Page 233: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Egypt and all his house. {11} Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egyptand Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance."

(Acts 11:19) "¶ Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution thatarose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch,preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only."

Romans. 2:9, 5:3

(Romans 2:9) "Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, ofthe Jew first, and also of the Gentile;"

(Romans 5:3) "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing thattribulation worketh patience;"

2 Thessalonians 1:4

(2 Thessalonians 1:4) "So that we ourselves glory in you in thechurches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutionsand tribulations that ye endure:"

God pours out his wrath upon those who reject hismercy (unbelievers) not his own children.

Mathew 3:7

(Matthew 3:7) "¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come tohis baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you toflee from the wrath to come?"

Mark 3:5Lk 3:7, 21:23

(Mark 3:5) "And when he had looked round about on them with anger, beinggrieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thinehand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."

(Luke 3:7) "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, Ogeneration of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

(Luke 21:23) "But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck,in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon thispeople."

John 3:36

(John 3:36) "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he thatbelieveth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Page 234: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Romans 1:18, 2:5, 8

(Romans 1:18) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against allungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"

(Romans 2:5) "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up untothyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment ofGod;"

(Romans 2:8) "But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, butobey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,"

Ephesians 2:3, 4:31, 5:6

(Ephesians 2:3) "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past inthe lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and wereby nature the children of wrath, even as others."

(Ephesians 4:31) "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evilspeaking, be put away from you, with all malice:"

(Ephesians 5:6) "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of thesethings cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience."

Colosians 3:6,8

(Colossians 3:6) "For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the childrenof disobedience:"

(Colossians 3:8) "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."

1 Thessalonians 1:10, 2:16

(1 Thessalonians 1:10) "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raisedfrom the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come."

(1 Thessalonians 2:16) "Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might besaved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to theuttermost."

1 Timothy 2:8

(1 Timothy 2:8) "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands,without wrath and doubting."

Page 235: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

Hebrews 3:11

(Hebrews 3:11) "So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)"

James 1:19, 20

(James 1:19-20) "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,slow to speak, slow to wrath: {20} For the wrath of man worketh not therighteousness of God."

Revelation 6:16, 17, 11:18

(Revelation 6:16-17) "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide usfrom the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:{17} For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

(Revelation 11:18) "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and thetime of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give rewardunto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, smalland great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."

We must purpose to not be offended in Christ if things don't turnout the way we hope and the way we have been told they will.When Christians find themselves on earth when the NewWorld Order is in full swing and God's people are beingsought after for elimination, we need to understand thatwe are suffering the wrath of Antichrist, not the wrath ofGod.

God will not leave us or forsake us even during Tribulation if wekeep the faith -- obey his word without reservation and patientlyendure until the end. He has no difficulty protecting His peoplefrom nuclear explosions, biological warfare, etc. but that is foranother article.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men countslackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, butthat all should come to repentance.

(Hebrews 10:35-39) "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath greatrecompence of reward. {36} For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have donethe will of God, ye might receive the promise. {37} For yet a little while, and hethat shall come will come, and will not tarry. {38} Now the just shall live by faith:but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. {39} But we arenot of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving ofthe soul."

Page 236: Occult Roots of Dispensationalism

We need to understand and keep the differencebetween tribulation and wrath in our hearts and mindsso we will not be offended with the Lord Jesus Christand be spiritually set up to look for another Christ.

This is exactly what Satan is using his agents tocondition Christians to do. He wants them to embracea false Christ right now (a Fantasy "Christ" who willpermit them to live ungodly in this present world butwill still bring them to heaven when they die).

If Satan fails to entice the Christian into following a bogus Christnow, he doesn't fret because he knows that most Christians havebeen thoroughly primed to look for "another Christ" during theTribulation due to their belief that the doctrine of the tribulationand the doctrine of the wrath of God are the same thing.

Since Christians know that God has not appointed us unto wrath,the carrying out of the Disappearances by the New World Orderplanners could cause their faith in the biblical promises of God tocrumble. What an ominous set-up for the Luciferic Initiatition!Yes, some false teachers (authors of the Left Behind Series) havebeen setting Christians up for this very thing for years.

Believers who have believed their pastor's words that God woulddefinitely remove them from this earth before Antichrist isrevealed need to go back and read the bible again and ask God toremove any spiritual blinders that are in place.

We need to study the difference between tribulationand wrath carefully so we do not set ourselves up forthe spiritual fall Antichrist's followers are hoping andplanning for. We must never allow ourselves to thinkthese apostate thoughts:

"Jesus betrayed me. He could not have been theChrist. I will look for another."

The Lord Jesus Christ will never leave us or forsake hisprecious sheep (who hear his voice and follow him.)However, we are capable of becoming offended in himand falling away if we do not obey his command to not

become offended in him! (See John 16:1-4)

(John 16:1-4) "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not beoffended. {2} They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, thatwhosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. {3} And these thingswill they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. {4} Butthese things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember thatI told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because Iwas with you."

Promise: Keep us from evil; Condition: Be Not of thisWorld

The Lord Jesus prayed to the Father:

(John 17:15) "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but thatthou shouldest keep them from the evil."

(John 17:17) "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

God is quite capable of keeping us from the evil duringtribulation, but are we willing to be like Jesus prayed that wewould be? This is the condition to being protected in the times tocome. The condition is that we would not be of the world evenas Jesus is not of the world, and the promise (if this condition ismet) is "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of theworld, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil."
