This is what my reader replied:

 The link you sent me is known to me, and also the books and the site.

Understand me well, I am not a defender of Darby’s direction.

I used to be in their midst more than 30 years ago and I know their theology very well. I can tell you that Darby was absolutely not a Freemason and neither were the other brothers.

The part that is quoted where the “Architect” is spoken of, is about the “house” of God that is built by God’s Spirit, where in this terminology the believers are “living stones”. For example from the Psalms “If the Hashem does not build the house…etc.” This direction is very Bible-based, they teach in the so-called Sola Scriptura, and also live according to it.

They are very nice people, and I have a biography of J.N. Darby written by Maksym S. Weremchuk”, which shows that Darby was only concerned with leading the faithful flock. This group is mainly called the “plymouth brethren” in England because a fairly large community arose there.

In [Europe] they are also simply called “the Brethren” or “assembly of believers,” and have no minister or leader.

Their slogan is: “one is our Master and we are all brothers.”

==

Especially in the circles of Blavatsky’s Theosophy and Anthroposophy, I came across many Freemasons.

Their worldview is therefore based on this Gnostic teaching. In particular their teaching about the Temple.

What is interesting is that in Christian circles of both Plymouth Brethren and Evangelicals it is known that the Third Temple will be rebuilt (as is also believed in some Jewish movements).

However, it is indicated that this third temple will become a scene of the Anti-Messiah who will place himself in this temple as “god”. The so-called “abomination of desolation” from the book of Daniel. Some of these Evangelicals even believe that Trump is the person who will initiate this. Because he has also moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

A Jewish rabbi from America is also involved in this, see this link: https://www.torahthinking.org/

I can honestly tell you that when I first read this article from the link [above, claiming the Plymouth Brethren were closet masons], I had to swallow a few times. Of course, nothing surprises me anymore.

But if there is anyone who was against this movement, it was Darby.

Also his fellow brothers of that time, such as William Kelly, a great scholar in the field of foreign languages ​​and a contemporary of Darby, and from whom I learned a lot, were mainly against this movement of the Freemasons.

==

The movement of Theosophy and also of Anthroposophy is completely based on Gnosticism.

I am reasonably well acquainted with this matter, and I also have sufficient knowledge of the so-called New Testament of the Xtians as you call them.

It is written in Greek, but the writers of some parts warn especially for the danger of Hellenism and the influence of Gnosticism.

I still have many books of the Plymouth movement in my library, and have used them in the past and now often to comment on some parts of the Scriptures. And I can tell you that they are very opposed to these influences from outside, especially Gnostic thinking!

==

I will also explain to you that the Plymouth Brethren or “assembly of believers” are very orthodox in their view of Scripture and they do NOT believe in so-called speaking in tongues or other charismatic expressions.

These things you come across with a large group of Xtians that are called the “Pentecostal movement”, these are Evangelicals or Evangelical Christians. Here you come across the phenomenon of “tongues”. This group originated in America and has spread all over the world. And this is a completely different direction than the “Plymouth Brethren.”

==

I have also been in this group and have even witnessed the so-called speaking in tongues!

This is more than 30 years ago, that a woman just started speaking in a strange language that I did not understand and also made strange sounds. I found this very strange and thought what is the point of this.

Some said that it was proof that this woman was blessed with the Ruach HaKodesh. But I really had my reservations and great doubts about this. And a few hours later I got my answer.

After this meeting my wife and I were invited for coffee. The hostess came from Indonesia. She asked me what I thought of the meeting. I told her that I had great doubts about this woman who had spoken in a foreign language. She confirmed to me that this woman had spoken in the Indonesian language (Malay) and she had understood this.

She said that this woman had made “vulgar statements! This was the last straw for me. I had often experienced strange things in these groups, such as falling forward, etc.

==

I can tell you that demonic spirits use these people. Demons (shedims) use them as a vessel to communicate and insult Hashem!

So, it can be a sign of possession.

When I did research in theosophy groups, I came across this phenomenon again, especially in spiritualistic circles. A certain medium would speak in another language and was thus a mouthpiece for this lying demon or spirit, who was pretending to be the deceased person.

==

I must make it clear that you will not come across this in the group of J.N. Darby.

That their castle is associated with witchcraft and ghosts is not strange in England, but you will know that. But it will not have been Darby who participated in this. He even had a fight with his family because he did not go the way his father wanted and so was dis-inherited!

==

What I have noticed lately is that Xtians who live orthodox are having an increasingly difficult time and are being oppressed. Especially those who support the Jewish people!

I sometimes say, now that the Jews are being persecuted again and anti-Semitism is really on the rise in Europe, it will soon be these Xtians who will be persecuted.

The last thing my correspondent sent me was this:

====

This is the book’s description, from Amazon:

====

This book was published in March, 2019…

The author must have had a ‘premonition’ about the Second Coming of Trump….

====

Here’s how my correspondent describes this book:

Probably the most important take away, for me, is that even ‘Evangelical Xtianity’ is splintered in a billion different ways.

And while much of it seems to be focussed and even welcoming outright demonic possession, at least some of it is not.

And there are some good, sincere non-Jews in these movements who are groping their way towards truth, and are very close to jumping the gap between believing in ‘Yoshki’ as the moshiach, and understanding that the real moshiach didn’t come yet.

====

We’ll leave this here for now.

And Herzl and ‘political zionism’ just kind of latched on to what was already in the pipes, and being planned, for 100, 200, 300 years before Herzl was even born.

Watch out for that.
