Dispensationalism: Occult Roots
In this series the term "Dispensationalism" refers to the
theological system invented in the 1830's by Plymouth Brethren
founder, John Nelson Darby (Nov. 18, 1800 April 29,
1882). While there may be controversy over whether he was the
first person to conceive of the pre-tribulation rapture and two
distinct peoples of God doctrines, it is certain he played a huge

role in systematizing and promoting dispensational theology. His


doctrines are found in C. I. Scofield's Old Scofield Study Bible
copyright 1909 and 1917 and are the foundation for other
dispensational works.

This series of charts and articles is published to make


you aware that J.N. Darby marked his bible
translation, The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the
Original Languages by J. N. Darby, and his theological
writings with Theosophical/occult vocabulary and
doctrines.

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/Theosophical
literature. J.N. Darby learned these esoteric terms somewherenot
from the Bibleand he deliberately integrated them into his
theological treatises and letters. His practice of merging Theosophical
vocabulary with supposedly biblical teaching is a form of syncretism.
(It is also a red flag.) Syncretism is the merging or union of conflicting
religious beliefs which forms a new religious philosophy.

(Note: The fact that Mr. Darby died six years before Theosophy's cofounder, Helena Blavatsky published her masterwork, The Secret
Doctrine, has no bearing upon his use of Theosophy-specific terms
and ideas. Theosophy is ancient (1) and originates with Satan, not
with H.P. Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott. (2)
Do you really believe the Holy Spirit led J.N. Darby and other Brethren
leaders 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 of
brevity I have cited one reference from Theosophy writings and one
reference 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 Secret
Doctrine:

The Absolute: An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable


PRINCIPLE on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power

of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or


similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought in the words of
Mandukya, unthinkable and unspeakable. (Secret Doctrine I pg. 14)

Darby and the Absolute

John Darby used the word, Absolute (with capitals to indicate a title) in reference
to God:
"The essential being of Godhead cannot change, as is evident - the Absolute, as
men speak - and whatever His humiliation, all the fulness of the Godhead

(theotetos) dwelt in Him bodily." Quote source: The Humiliation of Christ by


J. N. Darby

E.html

Architect
Theosophy and Architect
"The occultist, however, works there; he becomes a conscious
directing agent; he creates upon the physical plane that which he
desires, and that which he desires is the pattern of [244] things and
the design laid down upon the trestle board of the spiritual
consciousness 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 to
indicate a title) in reference to God:

But we need a "Faithful Witness." We see God in nature that is true, but all this
knowledge does not lead man to God. Man has spoilt all. The traces of God, of the
Architect, 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

Heavenly Architect
Theosophy and the heavenly architect
"And then he desired him to bring his army, which, from respect, had been encamped at
a distance, and he called on the heavenly architect, Vishvakarma, to come and build
him lodgings for Bharata and his followers, and to various Deities to aid him in
showing due hospitality." Quoted from Shri Ramachandra by Theosophist Annie
Besant 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 and
security of the assembly built by the heavenly Architect, against which he who has the
power 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 Holy
Ghost. J. N. Darby
http://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 name
for Chi which is commonly known in the West as life force, vital force, universal
energy, 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 comes
we shall be like Him in glory. But though He died it was not because His vital force
was exhausted. He cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost." -- JN Darby
http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/EXPOSIT/24033_6E.html
[Note: John Darby used the term, "vital force" the same way that occult practitioners
do.]

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/OccultismAB.htm
Darby and divine mind

In spiritual subjects, it is the object of much distinct converse in them to be able to


present them primarily and vividly, so as to lead the way to fuller investigation of the
divine mind.

Divine Being
Theosophy and the Divine Being
Theosophist Alice Bailey stated that the Seven Rays that reach us on Earth locally
originate within the "Solar Logos," i.e., the consciousness of the "Divine Being" of the
Sun. 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 which
ought to have the most powerful effect on the heart and conscience; if they do not, both
the 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 the
same spirit, and consequently, everything in nature is bound in solidarity.' Rejecting the
idea of a God existing outside nature, theosophy speaks of an all-pervading divine
essence, an infinite ocean of consciousness, from which all things are born and to
which they ultimately return." http://davidpratt.info/hpb.htm

Darby and divine essence


"No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father, he hath declared him." He knew, and saw, as One familiar and at ease with the
Father and the Holy Ghost, with the glory of the Godhead. He was Himself in the unity
of 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 divine
energy 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 divine
energy, 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 and
from this it arises that we are often puzzled by the appearance of an apparent
unintelligent energy, known to us as the law of necessity usurping the control of the
Universe." (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 cast
down to the ground all those who came to take Him, and the word that revealed to them
the object of their search deprived them of all power to seize it."
http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/john/john18.html

Energy of Faith
Theosophy and energy of faith
"The weak point and vicious aspect of the arrangement is that people, not
understanding the real meaning of these rituals, have come to perform them quite
mechanically, and the energy of faith has evaporated leaving behind the scum of blindbelief. So to-day the religious actions and exercises are in greatest measure a farce, nay
more, a blasphemy."
http://www.blavatsky.net/magazine/theosophy/ww/additional/ancientlandmarks/TheTe
mpleOfKnowledge-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 lightly
over, He did not fail towards him in either tenderness or faithfulness. He acted towards
him as towards a beloved and faithful servant, even at the moment in which He made
him 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 Adam
and Moses and passed on orally from teacher to student down through the ages to the
present." 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 revealed
statement of God, there is no intimation of remaining here. You will never find the
church 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

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/0
1chap08/default.htm
Darby and the divine principle
"In the case which has led to these remarks, it is striking to see how this principle
elevates the slave in his condition: he obeys by an inward divine principle, as
though it were Christ Himself whom he obeyed." (Quote source: John Nelson

Darby's Synopsis of the Bible Ephesians Chapter 6:


http://stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/ephesians/ephesi
ans6.html)

Divine Doctrine
Theosophy and the divine doctrine
"To continue the tradition, we have to add that the class of hierophants was
divided into two distinct categories:*** those who were instructed by the 'Sons of
God,' 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 a
sight, which embraced all living things, and was independent of both distance and
material 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 by
its principles, but exalts and enhances the value of everything according to the
perfection of those principles; by touching not the relationships but the man's
heart who walks in them; taking the moral side, and that of submission, in love
and in the exercise of authority which the divine doctrine can regulate, bringing in
the grace which governs the use of the authority of God." J. N. Darby
(http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/synopsis/ephesians/ephesians6.ht
ml)

Vital Principle
Theosophy and vital principle
H. P. Blavatsky wrote in 1888:
The "wave motion of living particles" becomes comprehensible on the theory of a
Spiritual ONE LIFE, of a universal Vital principle independent of our matter, and
manifesting as atomic energy only on our plane of consciousness. (The Secret Doctrine
II, 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 for
good 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 adjustments
to 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 vital
energy, the standard and communication of fulness, and thus all fulness is there. But as
the branch bears nothing out of the vine, but withers itself, so we bear no fruit but as
abiding 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 mainstream
Christian churches. Bailey almost always used the phrase "the Christ" when not referring specifically to

the Christian idea. For her, the leadership of the Hierarchy is an "office" (so to speak), to be occupied by
various Masters, including the Master Jesus, in the course of Their unfolding evolution. She saw the
Christ as a great "Person", embodying the energy of love, and His return as the awakening of that energy
in 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's
loving us; but it includes also the blessed fact that no matter what the state of evil may
be, as long as the Lord leaves His Church here, there is room for this energy of love to
others." 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, this
Great Being is also known under such additional titles as the True Aquarian, the
Pilgrim, 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 the
obstinate 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 widespread
recognition of a universal divine Intelligence or of God (by whatever name the all-embracing Life may
be 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 divine
intelligence, in these things. The field is purchased to obtain the treasure. Christ has

bought (not redeemed) the world to possess His own. His power over those who refuse
His 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 spiritual
possibilities. I dedicate myself anew to the service of the Coming One and will do all I
can 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 is
gathered into God's garner, the chaff burnt up. That is, there is a close of the history of
God'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 Brethren
leaders used in their theological works. (This list is not exhaustive.)
white light as used by Brethren preacher W.G. Turner: "In the presence of that
intensely white light, the differences in degree of guilt between the woman and her
accusers vanished, as each man realised his own unfitness to undertake the office of
executing judgment on a fellow sinner."

Notes:

(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 Blavatsky
replied,
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 and
practised since man became a thinking being. In its practical bearing, Theosophy
is purely divine ethics.

John Darby Reduced Jesus to Mere


Teacher 46 Times

things be; and what is the sign when these things are going to take place?

thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou

and knowest not these things!

John 13:13 Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am
so.
John 13:14 If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet,
ye also ought to wash one another's feet;
John 20:16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in
Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

Christian calls the Christ; he is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as
the Lord Maitreya, and is the one looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the
name of the Iman Madhi. He it is who has presided over the destinies of life since
about 600 B.C. and he it is who has come out among men before, and who is again
looked for. He is the great Lord of Love and of Compassion, just as his predecessor,

(6) The Plan has ominous "cleansing" goals:


"This movement is, of course, intensely anti-Christian and anti-Semitic. They call their efforts "The Plan"
which includes a "cleansing action" that must take place to remove negative and evil elements from the
world before the New Age of peace can be fully ushered in."
(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 not
be 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 from
the PHYSICAL, solid body to the SPIRIT body."
(Quote source: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, quoted by Pat Means, The Mystical Maze: A Guidebook Through
the Minefields of Eastern Mysticism pg. 253 as quoted in Tongues, Prosperity, and Godhood by Dr. Cathy
Burns.)
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 during
this century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts of
preparation for the New Age. The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective ... inspiring new
understanding of The Plan....It is this force ... which will bring about that tremendous crisis, the initiation of
the race into the mysteries of the ages. (Alice Bailey, The Externalizing the Mysteries, pt.1 p.171)

(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, Thomas
Newberry and their American agent, Cyrus Scofield), in the doctrine of the
"consummation of the age":

John Nelson Darby Waited for "The


Coming One"
John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren Movement
and an early, integral player in the modern Bible versions
movement marked his translation and his doctrinal writings with
the 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 the
world as they seek to invoke their Christ to return to earth:
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let 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 the
Theosophical term, "coming One" in reference to the Lord Jesus
Christ or Jehovah. Observe that John Darby marked his Synopsis
of the books of the Bible repeatedly with the term, "the coming
One," thus associating the title of Antichrist with the true God of
the Holy Bible.
We at the close have all the responsibility. The vision and the
blessing 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 in
in 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 earth
or to men, to the Abrahams and Moseses of old time), and at the
same time was the coming One who would make good everything
revealed of and by Himself. (2)
The axe is at the root of the trees, the fan is in the hand of the
coming One, the wheat is gathered into God's garner, the chaff
burnt up. That is, there is a close of the history of God's people in
judgment. (3)
True faith, in the midst of such a system, never rises so high as
the glory of the coming One, the true rejected David, but it loves
Him and cleaves to Him. (4)
Innocence, man without law and lawless, promise coming in as a
thing apart, man under law, under priesthood, obedient royalty

with law, sovereign unlimited royalty over the world, prophets to


recall to law and to foretell the coming One and judgments, and
at last the Seed of promise, grace in the world this is history,
history as it appears in fact in scripture, yet principles of dealing
with man which test him morally in every way, and bring out the
whole state in which he is, in which I am, before God; yet the
connection of one part with another no one of the writers could
have had in his mind, or does not refer to. (5)
They celebrate the Creator-God, the governor of the world, the
God of the Old Testament; what He is outside Christianity,
consequently for the world, whether the world or Israel; the
Almighty, Jehovah, the coming One, the God who is coming, as
He is the God who was. (6)
The character of God here is Jehovah, the Ancient of days, who
is, and who was, and is the coming One. (7a)
{*The reading is this: "I am Alpha and Omega, saith the Lord
God, 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 before
Messiah, "the coming one" when He is revealed, but two only are
admitted in the passage. (8)
He presents Himself in Nazareth, His natural home on earth as
the fulfilment of the coming one in its moral blessing. (9)

And this is one great truth of what I may call the translation of the
name 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 promiser
withal, and who is the "coming one" o erchomenos, when He will be
Ancient of days, and Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, and
His name known (even that Jehovah, and Jehovah alone, is so) over
all the earth. (10)
John Nelson Darby waited for "the coming One," (who is also
identified as "the Christ", World Teacher and is coming in the
flesh) and looked forward to what Theosophists refer to as the
"consummation of the age."

[Note: The phrase, "the coming One"in reference to


Jesus Christ or Jehovahis found in the writings of
other Brethren theologians as well.]

John Darby's Pre-Tribulation Rapture Alterations to


the Bible
John Nelson Darby inserted a message of imminence into many prophetic verses of
scripture.

King James Bible


The elders which are
among you I exhort, who
am also an elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of
Christ, and also a partaker
of the glory that shall be
revealed:

John Darby Version


1 Pet. 5:1

The elders which [are]


among you I exhort, who [am
their] fellow-elder and witness
of the sufferings of the Christ,
who also [am] partaker of the
glory about to be revealed:

For the Son of man shall


come in the glory of his
Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward
every man according to
his works.

Mathew 16:27

I charge thee therefore


before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who shall
judge the quick and the
dead at his appearing and
his kingdom;

2 Tim. 4:1

I testify before God and


Christ Jesus, who is about to
judge living and dead, and by
his appearing and his
kingdom,

And as he reasoned of
righteousness,
temperance, and
judgment to come, Felix
trembled, and answered,
Go thy way for this time;
when I have a convenient
season, I will call for thee.

Acts 24:25

And as he reasoned
concerning righteousness, and
temperance, and the
judgment about to come,
Felix, being filled with fear,
answered, Go for the present,
and when I get an opportunity
I will send for thee;

But we trusted that it had


been he which should
have redeemed Israel: and
beside all this, to day is
the third day since these
things were done.

Luke 24:21

But *we* had hoped that


*he* was the one who is
about to redeem Israel. But
then, besides all these things,
it is now, to-day, the third
day since these things took
place.

But a certain fearful


looking for of judgment
and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the
adversaries.

Heb. 10:27

but a certain fearful


expectation of judgment, and
heat of fire about to devour
the adversaries.

For verily, when we were


with you, we told you
before that we should
suffer tribulation; even as
it came to pass, and ye
know.

1 Thess. 3:4

for also, when we were with


you, we told you beforehand
we are about to be in
tribulation, even as also it
came to pass, and ye know.)

Write the things which


thou hast seen, and the
things which are, and the
things which shall be
hereafter;

Rev. 1:19

Write therefore what thou


hast seen, and the things that
are, and the things that are
about to be after these.

Fear none of those things


which thou shalt suffer:
behold, the devil shall cast
some of you into prison,
that ye may be tried; and
ye shall have tribulation
ten days: be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give
thee a crown of life.

Rev. 2:10

Fear nothing [of] what thou


art about to suffer. Behold,
the devil is about to cast of
you into prison, that ye may
be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days. Be thou
faithful unto death, and I will
give to thee the crown of life.

the world, to try them that

word of my patience, *I* also

habitable world, to try them

that dwell upon the earth.


[John Darby changed Jesus
Christ's stated promise of
keeping believers who keep
the word of his patience
"FROM the hour of
TEMPTATION" to the corrupt
Greek text's false promise:
keeping believers "OUT of the
hour of TRIAL." Darby's
insertion of the words, "out,"
"trial," and "about" promote
the Brethren's innovative,
imminent return of Christ,
pre-trib doctrine.]

So then because thou art


lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue
thee out of my mouth.

Rev. 3:16

Thus because thou art


lukewarm, and neither cold
nor hot, I am about to spue
thee out of my mouth.

And white robes were


given unto every one of
them; and it was said unto
them, that they should
rest yet for a little season,
until their fellowservants
also and their brethren,
that should be killed as
they were, should be
fulfilled.

Rev. 6:11

And there was given to them,


to each one a white robe; and
it was said to them that they
should rest yet a little while,
until both their fellowbondmen and their brethren,
who were about to be killed
as they, should be fulfilled.

And I beheld, and heard


an angel flying through
the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice,
Woe, woe, woe, to the
inhabiters of the earth by
reason of the other voices
of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to
sound!

Rev. 8:13

And I saw, and I heard an


eagle flying in mid-heaven,
saying with a loud voice, Woe,
woe, woe, to them that dwell
upon the earth, for the
remaining voices of the
trumpet of the three angels
who are about to sound.

The beast that thou


sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into
perdition:

Rev. 17:8

The beast which thou sawest


was, and is not, and is about
to come up out of the abyss
and go into destruction:

And to wait for his Son


from heaven, whom he
raised from the dead, even
Jesus, which delivered us
from the wrath to come.

1 Thess. 1:10

[The KJV says Jesus


delivered us from the
wrath to come.]

The enemy that sowed


them is the devil; the
harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are
the angels.

and to await his Son from the


heavens, whom he raised
from among the dead, Jesus,
our deliverer from the coming
wrath.

[Pre-trib doctrine
inserted into scripture:

Christians who walk after the


Spirit (and thus have
assurance of security in
Christ) are already delivered
from the wrath (hell) to come.
Darby wanted Christians to
think the "coming wrath"
meant the Tribulation. The
Bible clearly distinguishes
between tribulation and
wrath.

Matthew 13:39

and the enemy who has


sowed it is the devil; and the
harvest is the completion of
the age, and the harvestmen
are angels.
[J. N. Darby altered New
Testament prophetic passages
by replacing the word, "world"
with "age" (period of time)
in order to promote the
dispensationalist paradigm
shift. In these instances, the
substitution of the word,
"age" for "world"
communicates the notion of
the completion or
consummation of the age
rather than the end of the
world.]
According to the Scofield
1917 Reference Bible, "A
dispensation is a period of
time during which man is
tested in respect to some
specific revelation of the Will
of God" [emphasis mine]

For I would not, brethren,


that ye should be ignorant
of this mystery, lest ye

Rom. 11:25

For I do not wish you to be


ignorant, brethren, of this
mystery, that ye may not be

should be wise in your


own conceits; that
blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until
the fulness of the Gentiles
be come in.

wise in your own conceits,


that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until the
fulness of the nations be
come in;

The note from the 1917


Scofiled Reference Bible
reveals the reason John
Darby changed the word,
Gentiles to nations.
The "fullness of the Gentiles"
is the completion of the
purpose of God in this age,
viz. the outcalling from among
the Gentiles of a people for
Christ's name, "the church
which is His body" Eph 1:2223 Cf Ac 15:14; Eph 4:1113; 1Co 12:12-13. It must be
distinguished from "the times
of the Gentiles" Lu 21:24.
Darby altered the verse
outright and Scofield followed
suit by altering the verse via
the insertion of his footnote.
Both taught that Israel will be
spiritually blind until God is
finished with this dispensation
or age. The real Bible (KJV)
says that Israel will be
spiritually blind until the
"fulness of the Gentiles be
come in."

2 Thess. Chapter 2

Cyrus Scofield's definition


in his 1917 Scofield
Reference Bible for "day of
Christ"--via marginal notes
and footnotes--specifically
promotes the concept of a
pre-trib return of Jesus
Christ.

John Nelson Darby Version: Based on


Corrupt Texts
John Darby was a Forerunner of the Modern Bible Versions
Movement
John Nelson Darby (November 18, 1800 April 29, 1882) was
the most influential leader of the original Plymouth Brethren
movement. It might surprise you to learn that this man
regarded by biographers as the Father of Dispensationalismwas
at the forefront of the modern bible versions movement. In 1867
John Darby completed a new translation of the New Testament
that is filled with texts and footnotes that contradict the Received
Text:

"Darby did not feel such a need for a new translation


in English, because he considered the King James
Version to be adequate for most purposes, and he
encouraged his followers to continue to use it. But, he
decided to produce a highly literal English version of
the New Testament for study purposes. This New
Testament was first issued in parts, beginning with the
Gospel according to Matthew in 1865. The New
Testament was completed in 1867. The version is
exceedingly literal, based upon modern critical editions
of the Greek text, and abundantly supplied with textcritical and philological annotations. The annotations
are by far the most comprehensive and detailed to be
found in an English version." [emphasis added.] (1)
The Darby Translation is based on modern critical
editions of the Greek text:
The Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Book of Revelation: Commonly
called the New Testament. A New Translation from a Revised
Text of the Greek Original. London: G. Morrish, 1867. Second
edition 1872. Third edition 1884. [bold emphasis added] (2)

John Darby's Bible was so liberal the modernists who


translated the 1881 English Revised Version consulted
it:
"It was consulted by the translators of the English Revised
Version of 1881 (see F.F. Bruce, History of the Bible in English,

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


John Darby highly regarded modernists of his day:
In my first edition my translation was formed on the concurrent
voice of Griesbach, Lachmann, Scholz, and Tischendorf: the first
of soberer judgment and critical acumen and discernment; the
next with a narrower system of taking only the very earliest MSS,
so that sometimes he might have only one or two; the third
excessively carelessly printed, but taking the mass of
Constantinopolitan MSS as a rule; [emphasis added] Revised
Preface to second edition of the New Testament (1871) (4)
"Meanwhile, since my first edition, founded on the concurrent
judgment of the four great modern editors, [he referenced
Griesbach, Lachmann, Scholz, and Tischendorf] following the
received text unchanged where the true reading was a disputed
point among them, the Sinaitic MS has been discovered; the
Vatican published; Porphyry's of Acts and Paul's Epistles and
most of the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse, and others, in
the Monumenta Sacra Inedita of Tischendorf, as well as his
seventh edition." Revised Preface to second edition of the New
Testament 1871 [bold emphasis added] (5)

Darby gave honorable mention to modernists who


"enlarged the field of criticism":
"Mill, Bengel, Wetstein (who greatly enlarged the field
of criticism), then Griesbach, Matthei (the last giving
the Russian Codices, which are Constantinopolitan so
called), Lachmann, Scholz, Tischendorf, and quite
recently Tregelles. I name only those of critical
celebrity." [emphasis added] (6)
John Darby's assertion that the Textus Receptus "had no real
authority" corresponds with the fact that his alleged "recovered
truths" are not found in the Authorized Version (KJV). He stated:
"My plan was, where the chief editors agreed, to adopt their
reading, not to attempt to make a text of my own. My object was
a more correct translation: only there was no use in translating
what all intelligent critics held to be a mistake in the copy. For, as
is known, the Textus Receptus had no real authority, nor was
indeed the English Version taken from it, -- it was an earlier work
by 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

revealing that he rejected the manuscripts the King


James translators used for Revelation:
"I have always stated the Textus Receptus in the margin where it
is departed from, except in the Revelation, Erasmus having
translated that from one poor and imperfect MS., which
being accompanied by a commentary had to be separated by a
transcriber; and even so Erasmus corrected what he had from the
Vulgate, or guessed what he had not." [bold emphasis added] (8)

Plymouth Brethren Translations Agree on Modern Version


Doctrines
QUESTION: Why does the John Darby Translation (which is based
upon critical editions of the Greek Text) often precisely match
Thomas Newberry's George Ricker Berry English Interlinear in
modern version doctrinal teachings?
ANSWER: The John Darby Translation often matched Thomas
Newberry's Interlinear because both Plymouth Brethren leaders
were AGAINST THE RECEIVED TEXT and for the Critical Greek
Text!

since she counted him
faithful who promised.

2 Thessalonians 3:5 And 2 Thess. 3:5

But the Lord direct your

Lord directs Christians into

Christ, Darby's Version
directs them into the
patience of "the Christ."!]

What advantage then


hath the Jew? or what
profit is there of
circumcision?

Rom. 3:1

Whom God hath set


Rom. 3:25
forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his
blood, to declare his
righteousness for the
remission of sins that are
past, through the
forbearance of God;

What then [is] the


superiority of the Jew? or
what the profit of
circumcision?
whom God has set forth a
mercy-seat, through faith in
his blood, for [the] shewing
forth of his righteousness, in
respect of the passing by the
sins that had taken place
before, through the
forbearance of God;
[Remission means pardon,
forgiveness. "Passing by the
sins" suggests that God
overlooked the sins.]

Is he the God of the Jews Rom. 3:29


only? is he not also of
the Gentiles? Yes, of the
Gentiles also:

Is [God] the God of Jews


only? is he not of [the]
nations also? Yea, of
nations also:

For we have not


2 Pet. 1:16
followed cunningly
devised fables, when we
made known unto you
the power and coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty.

For we have not made


known to you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, following cleverly
imagined fables, but having
been eyewitnesses of *his*
majesty.
[Satan (and his followers)
consider his fables to be
clever. God condemns them
as cunning.]

Being then made free


from sin, ye became the
servants of
righteousness.

Rom. 6:18

Now, having got your


freedom from sin, ye have
become bondmen to
righteousness.
[Darby, along with other
textual critics, taught via his
translation the Luciferian lie
that Christians are slaves
(bondmen) of God rather
than servants.]

And his fame went


Matthew 4:24
throughout all Syria: and
they brought unto him
all sick people that were
taken with divers
diseases and torments,
and those which were
possessed with devils,
and those which were
lunatick, and those that
had the palsy; and he
healed them.

And his fame went out into


the whole [of] Syria, and
they brought to him all that
were ill, suffering under
various diseases and pains,
and those possessed by
demons, and lunatics, and
paralytics; and he healed
them.

Verily, verily, I say unto John 6:47


you, He that believeth on
me hath everlasting life.

Verily, verily, I say to you,


He that believes [on me] has
life eternal.

[Bible translations based on


corrupt manuscripts use
phrases such as "possessed
by demons" or "demon
possessed." The use of such
exorcist-styled wording
serves Satan's purpose by
making Christians afraid to
minister to people who are
afflicted with evil spirits.]

[Darby's use of brackets


indicates that the corrupt
manuscripts (on which he
based his translation) did
not include the words, "on

me.")
For ye, brethren, became 1 Thess. 2:14
followers of the
churches of God which
in Judaea are in Christ
Jesus: for ye also have
suffered like things of
your own countrymen,
even as they have of the
Jews:

For *ye*, brethren, have


become imitators of the
assemblies of God which
are in Judaea in Christ
Jesus; for *ye* also have
suffered the same things of
your own countrymen as
also *they* of the Jews,
[Infiltrators imitate (mimic
or counterfeit) the real
thing. Genuine Christian
brethren become followers
of the churches of God.]

Howbeit for this cause I


obtained mercy, that in
me first Jesus Christ
might shew forth all
longsuffering, for a
pattern to them which
should hereafter believe
on him to life
everlasting.

1 Timothy 1:16

But for this reason mercy


was shewn me, that in me,
[the] first, Jesus Christ
might display the whole
long-suffering, for a
delineation of those about to
believe on him to life
eternal.

And we believe and are


sure that thou art that

living God.

John 6:69

known that thou art the holy

manuscripts that omitted,

also states that Jesus was an

father!]
Forbidding us to speak

their sins alway: for the
wrath is come upon them

forbidding us to speak to the


nations that they may be
saved, that they may fill up
their sins always: but wrath
has come upon them to the
uttermost.
[Just like his contemporary,
Thomas Newberry, Darby
replaced the word, Gentiles
with nations.]

To the end he may


stablish your hearts
unblameable in holiness
before God, even our
Father, at the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ
with all his saints.

1 Thess. 3:13

your hearts unblamable in
holiness before our God and
Father at the coming of our
Lord Jesus with all his
saints.
[Darby inserted once saved
always saved doctrine by
removing the words that "to
the end" he will stablish
your hearts.

There is therefore now Rom. 8:1


no condemnation to
them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.

[There is] then now no


condemnation to those in
Christ Jesus.
[John Darby, again marking
his "version" for his
dispensationalist agenda,
removed the conditional
part of Romans 8:1. Cyrus

Scofield, a student of
Darby's theology, removed
the sobering conditional
part of this verse in his
Reference Bible by
inserting this note: "This
statement ends with 'Jesus
Christ;' the last ten words
are interpolated. Note:
interpolated means added to
the original.]
For if ye live after the
flesh, ye shall die: but if
ye through the Spirit do
mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.

Rom. 8:13

for if ye live according to


flesh, ye are about to die;
but if, by the Spirit, ye put
to death the deeds of the
body, ye shall live:
[Darby's re-wording of this
verse reminds me of the fact
that Christians who
understand the bible
according to the
dispensational hermeneutic
are under the impression
that if they refuse to stop
living sinful lives God will
chastise them by ending
their earthly lives and
taking them straight to
heaven. The KJV tells the
truth: If ye (addressed to
Christians) live after the
flesh ye shall die. The
context reveals that this
death is a spiritual death,
not a death that serves the
purpose of hastening one's
entrance into heaven.]

view to systematized error;
[The KJV warns against
cunningly crafty men who
purposely deceive
Christians. Darby watered
down this warning by
presenting these deceivers
as those who (operate) with
a view to systematized
error. Error is unintentional.
Deception is deliberate.]

Not in the lust of


1 Thess. 4:5
concupiscence, even as
the Gentiles which know
not God:

(not in passionate desire,


even as the nations who
know not God,)
[Concupiscence has a
clearly negative connotation
whereas "passionate desire"
does not!]

For God hath not called 1 Thess. 4:7


us unto uncleanness, but
unto holiness.

For God has not called us to


uncleanness, but in
sanctification.
[Darby changed the Bible to
support his osas teaching
that God called Christians
in sanctification.
[According to Darbyinspired teachings, as soon
as you pray the "sinner's
prayer" you are sanctified
for life--regardless of
conduct.) The real Bible

teaches that God has called


his people unto holiness-unto living a holy life.]
He therefore that
despiseth, despiseth not
man, but God, who hath
also given unto us his
holy Spirit.

1 Thess. 4:8

He therefore that [in this]


disregards [his brother],
disregards, not man, but
God, who has given also his
Holy Spirit to you.
[Despiseth has the

connotation of contempt.
Disregards means to pay no
attention to.]
Abstain from all
appearance of evil.

1 Thess. 5:22

hold aloof from every form


of wickedness.
[The real Bible--KJV-warns us to abstain from
even the appearance of evil.
It is no wonder John Darby
changed that verse because
his own translation has
many appearances of evil.]

But there were false


prophets also among the
people, even as there
shall be false teachers
among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying
the Lord that bought
them, and bring upon
themselves swift
destruction.

2 Peter 2:1

there were false prophets


also among the people, as
there shall be also among
you false teachers, who
shall bring in by the bye
destructive heresies, and
deny the master that bought
them, bringing upon
themselves swift
destruction;
[Since Darby removed the
words, "damned and
damnation" from his bible,
it follows that he removed
"damnable" as well.]

I charge you by the Lord 1 Thess. 5:27


that this epistle be read
unto all the holy
brethren.

I adjure you by the Lord


that the letter be read to all
the [holy] brethren.
[Darby's use of brackets
indicates that the corrupt
manuscripts (on which he
based his translation) did
not include the word,
"holy.")

And to you who are


troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from
heaven with his mighty
angels,

2 Thess 1:7

and to you that are troubled


repose with us, at the
revelation of the Lord Jesus
from heaven, with [the]
angels of his power,

Knowing this first, that


no prophecy of the
scripture is of any
private interpretation.

2 Pet. 1:20

knowing this first, that [the


scope of] no prophecy of
scripture is had from its
own particular
interpretation,
[Since Darby's
interpretations of scripture
were indeed private, it
behooved him to change
this verse.]

Therefore, brethren,
2 Thess. 2:15
stand fast, and hold the
traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by
word, or our epistle.

So then, brethren, stand


firm, and hold fast the
instructions which ye have
been taught, whether by
word or by our letter.
[Darby required his
followers to hold fast his
instructions rather than hold
the biblical traditions.]

But when ye pray, use


not vain repetitions, as
the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be
heard for their much
speaking.

Matthew 6:7

But when ye pray, use not


vain repetitions, as those
who are of the nations: for
they think they shall be
heard through their much
speaking.
[Modern translations such
as the NKJV also exchange
nation for heathen. See
more examples.]

Then was Jesus led up Matthew 4:1


of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted
of the devil.

Then Jesus was carried up


into the wilderness by the
Spirit to be tempted of the
devil:
[The Darby Bible gives the
false impression that Jesus
was bodily carried by the
Holy Spirit into the
wilderness!]

Even so every good tree Matthew 7:17


bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.

So every good tree produces


good fruits, but the
worthless tree produces bad
fruits.

A good tree cannot bring Matthew 7:18


forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.

A good tree cannot produce


bad fruits, nor a worthless
tree produce good fruits.

Wherefore I say unto


you, All manner of sin
and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but
the blasphemy against
the Holy Ghost shall not
be forgiven unto men.

For this reason I say unto


you, Every sin and injurious
speaking shall be forgiven
to men, but speaking
injuriously of the Spirit
shall not be forgiven to
men.

Matthew 12:31

[John Darby removed the


words "blasphemy against

the Holy Ghost" and


softened it to "speaking
injuriously of the Spirit."]
But he that shall
blaspheme against the
Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in
danger of eternal
damnation:

Mark 3:29

but whosoever shall speak


injuriously against the Holy
Spirit, to eternity has no
forgiveness; but lies under
the guilt of an everlasting
sin;
[John Darby (along with
other modernist Bible
translators) removed the
obvious penalty of eternal
damnation and changed it to
a sin (rather than hell) that
lasts forever: "lies under the
guilt of an everlasting sin;"

Afterward Jesus findeth John 5:14


him in the temple, and
said unto him, Behold,
thou art made whole: sin
no more, lest a worse
thing come unto thee.

After these things Jesus


finds him in the temple, and
said to him, Behold, thou art
become well: sin no more,
that something worse do not
happen to thee.
[People often "become
well" with time and nursing
care. Jesus Christ made the
man whole and told him so:
"thou art made whole!"
Darby denied that Jesus
Christ healed this man with
his false wording in his
false "bible" version.]

She said, No man, Lord.


And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn
thee: go, and sin no
more.

John 8:11

And she said, No one, sir.


And Jesus said to her,
Neither do I condemn thee:
go, and sin no more.

[Darby's version replaces


"Lord" with "sir."]
Jesus answered them,
John 8:34
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the
servant of sin.

Jesus answered them,


Verily, verily, I say to you,
Every one that practises sin
is the bondman of sin.

And when he is come, he John 16:8


will reprove the world of
sin, and of
righteousness, and of
judgment:

And having come, he will


bring demonstration to the
world, of sin, and of
righteousness, and of
judgment:
[It is Satan, not the Holy
Spirit, who brings
demonstration of sin to the
world! The Holy Spirit
reproves the world of sin
(convinces of a fault)!]

For he that is dead is


freed from sin.

Romans 6:7

Likewise reckon ye also Romans 6:11


yourselves to be dead
indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus
Christ our Lord.

***But if any man think


that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward his
virgin, if she pass the
flower of her age, and
need so require, let him
do what he will, he

1 Cor. 7:36

For he that has died is


justified from sin.
So also *ye*, reckon
yourselves dead to sin and
alive to God in Christ Jesus
[Darby, like so many
biblical textual critics,
failed to include, "our
Lord."]

But if any one think that he


behaves unseemly to his
George Ricker Berry
virginity, if he be beyond
Greek to English
the flower of his age, and so

be, what he wills let him
do, he does not sin: let

Laying up in store for


themselves a good
foundation against the
time to come, that they
may lay hold on eternal
life.

1 Timothy 6:19

For the law was given by John 1:17


Moses, but grace and
truth came by Jesus
Christ.

[Darby and Newberry


changed the verse
drastically on their own
authority.]
laying by for themselves a
good foundation for the
future, that they may lay
hold of what is really life.
[Darby replaced eternal life
with "what is really life."]
For the law was given by
Moses: grace and truth
subsists through Jesus
Christ.
[The KJV wording indicates
that grace and truth "came
by" or originated with Jesus
Christ.) Darby's Version
says that grace and truth
subsists (is caused to stand)
through Jesus Christ.]

So Christ was once


Heb. 9:28
offered to bear the sins
of many; and unto them
that look for him shall he
appear the second time
without sin unto
salvation.

thus the Christ also, having


been once offered to bear
the sins of many, shall
appear to those that look for
him the second time without
sin for salvation.
See: Darby Version: Title of
New Age World Teacher
Replaces Christ

For the grace of God


Titus 2:11-12

Teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and

For the grace of God which


carries with it salvation for
all men has appeared,
teaching us that, having
denied impiety and worldly

worldly lusts, we should


live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present
world;

thy trust, avoiding
profane and vain
babblings, and
oppositions of science

lusts, we should live


soberly, and justly, and
piously in the present
course of things,
1 Timothy 6:20, 21

O Timotheus, keep the


entrusted deposit, avoiding
profane, vain babblings, and
oppositions of false-named
knowledge, of which some
having made profession,
have missed the faith.
[Darby changed "erred" to
"missed" thereby removing
the truth that a real
Christian can fall into error
concerning the faith.]

Now the end of the


1 Timothy 1:5, 6
commandment is charity
out of a pure heart, and
of a good conscience,
and of faith unfeigned:
From which some
having swerved have
turned aside unto vain
jangling;

But the end of what is


enjoined is love out of a
pure heart and a good
conscience and unfeigned
faith; which [things] some
having missed, have turned
aside to vain discourse,

For God doth know that Gen 3:5


in the day ye eat thereof,

but God knows that in the


day ye eat of it, your eyes

[Darby inserted
unconditional eternal
security doctrine by
changing "swerved" to
"missed." (This supports his
false definition of apostasy
which Scofield popularized
in his Reference Bible.)
Darby removed the truth as
found in the KJV: A
Christian can swerve (turn
aside) from the faith.]

then your eyes shall be


opened, and ye shall be
as gods, knowing good
and evil.

will be opened, and ye will


be as God, knowing good
and evil
Darby's note: Or 'as gods.'
[John Darby used his "bible
version" to insert the
satanic doctrine that the fall
of man amounted to
becoming like God! The
real Bible (KJV) says the
serpent said "ye shall be as
gods" knowing good and
evil.]
Darby's footnote, "Or 'as
gods' evidences that he
considered God and gods to
be interchangeable in this
verse.
[In Satanism, Satan is the
supreme being, and the God
of the Bible is considered to
be a fallen god of
contemptible character.]

But what saith the


answer of God unto
him? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand
men, who have not
bowed the knee to the
image of Baal.

Rom 11:4

If ye have heard of the


Eph. 3:2
dispensation of the grace
of God which is given

But what says the divine


answer to him? I have left
to myself seven thousand
men, who have not bowed
knee to Baal.
[Occultists and New Agers
believe they receive divine
answers. The real Bible says
answer of God.]
(if indeed ye have heard of
the administration of the
grace of God which has

me to you-ward:

been given to me towards


you,
[Paul was not given the
administration of the grace
of God.]

For he is our peace,


Eph. 2:14
who hath made both one,
and hath broken down
the middle wall of
partition between us;

For *he* is our peace,


who has made both one, and
has broken down the middle
wall of enclosure,
[An enclosure means to
surround; to shut in; to
confine on all sides. A
partition is a division or
separation by the creation of
a boundary that divides.]

For we wrestle not


Eph. 6:12
against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in
high places.

because our struggle is not


against blood and flesh, but
against principalities,
against authorities, against
the universal lords of this
darkness, against spiritual
[power] of wickedness in
the heavenlies.
[It is Satan's followers who
regard devils as universal
lords!]

But ye are come unto


Heb. 12:22, 23

city of the living God,

and to an innumerable
company of angels, To

heaven, and to God the

Zion; and to [the] city of
[the] living God, heavenly
Jerusalem; and to myriads
of angels, the universal
gathering; and to [the]
assembly of the firstborn

heaven; and to God, judge
of all; and to [the] spirits of

Judge of all, and to the


spirits of just men made
perfect,

Wherein in time past ye


walked according to the
course of this world,
according to the prince
of the power of the air,
the spirit that now
worketh in the children
of disobedience:

just [men] made perfect;


[Darby added the phrase,
"the universal gathering."
Darby's re-wording not
withstanding, fallen angels
will not be there.]
Eph. 2:2

in which ye once walked


according to the age of this
world, according to the ruler
of the authority of the air,
the spirit who now works in
the sons of disobedience:
(In this verse Darby
removed the truth that
Christians used to walk
according to the course
[ways] of this world.)
(Darby caused 1 Tim 6:15
to say that Jesus Christ is
the only ruler. However, he
marked his "bible" for his
master by making the ruler
mean Satan.

And I will put enmity


Gen 3:15
between thee and the
woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it
shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his
heel.

And I will put enmity


between thee and the
woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; he shall
crush thy head, and thou
shalt crush his heel.
[Bruise does not mean
crush. A bruise does not
break the skin whereas
something that is crushed is
distorted by pressure. The
Lord Jesus Christ was not
crushed by Satan.]

The enemy that sowed


them is the devil; the
harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers
are the angels.

Matthew 13:39

and the enemy who has


sowed it is the devil; and
the harvest is the
completion of the age, and
the harvestmen are angels.
[J. N. Darby altered New
Testament prophetic
passages by replacing the
word, "world" with "age"
(period of time) in order to
promote the
dispensationalist paradigm
shift. In these instances, the
substitution of the word,
"age" for "world"
communicates the notion of
the end of the dispensation
rather than the end of the
world.]
Cyrus Scofield defined
dispensation as it is used for
the dispensationalist
hermeneutic in his 1917
Reference Bible:
"A dispensation is a period of
time during which man is tested
in respect to some specific
revelation of the Will of God"
[emphasis mine]

And Adam knew Eve


his wife; and she
conceived, and bare
Cain, and said, I have
gotten a man from the
LORD.

Gen 4:1

And Man knew Eve his


wife; and she conceived,
and bore Cain, and said, I
have acquired a man with
Jehovah.
[Acquiring a man from the
Lord is TOTALLY different
from having a man with the

Lord! This is blasphemy.


Note: Satan and his devils
have carnal communion
with human beings, not
God!
Take note of the fact that
John Darby and his
Plymouth Brethren
contemporary, Thomas
Newberry more often than
not, differed with the KJV
translators regarding
prepositions. This paved
the way for them to promote
the false doctrine via their
"bible" versions that the
mark of the beast is "on"
rather than "in."
But if a woman have
long hair, it is a glory to
her: for her hair is given
her for a covering.
The context of this verse
is clear that Paul is
talking about a woman's
natural covering that is a
glory to her personally-her hair.

1 Corinthians 11:15

But woman, if she have


long hair, it is glory to her;
for the long hair is given to
her in lieu of a veil.
[Darby radically changed
the verse to mean that long
is hair is given to a woman
instead 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 Testament
for study purposes." (1) Below is a representative sampling of the occult
wording, New Age markings and satanic subliminals Darby inserted into his
own translation, which he represented as being more literal (i.e. more accurate)
and worthy of study than the King James Bible.
Darby Version

King James Bible

"consummation of the
ages"

"end of the world"


For then must he often
have suffered since the
foundation of the world:
but now once in the end
of the world hath he
appeared to put away sin
by the sacrifice of
himself.

Hebrews 9:26

since he had [then] been


obliged often to suffer
from the foundation of the
world. But now once in the
consummation of the ages
he has been manifested for
[the] putting away of sin
by his sacrifice.
[See: Theosophists Look
for the "Consummation
of the Age"]
"Jesus Christ coming in
flesh"

"Jesus Christ is come"


For many deceivers are
entered into the world,
who confess not that
Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh. This is a
deceiver and an
antichrist.

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers have


gone out into the world,
they who do not confess
Jesus Christ coming in
flesh--this is the deceiver
and the antichrist.
[Coming in flesh is future
tense.] See:
Darby/Scofield's "coming in
flesh" Christ is Antichrist]

Saying, We give thee


Revelation 11:17
thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and
wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power,
and hast reigned.

saying, We give thee


thanks, Lord God Almighty,
He who is, and who was,
that thou hast taken thy
great power and hast
reigned.
[John Darby removed, "art
to come." This verse
removes the promise that
Lord God Almighty (the
Lord Jesus Christ) will
come again.]

And every spirit that


1 John 4:3
confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and
this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye
have heard that it should
come; and even now
already is it in the world.

and every spirit which does


not confess Jesus Christ
come in flesh is not of God:
and this is that power of the
antichrist, of which ye have
heard that it comes, and
now it is already in the
world.
[Darby omitted the word,
"is" which indicates present
tense.]

KJV

Darby Version

"he that should come"

"the coming one"

And said unto him, Art


thou he that should
come, or do we look for
another?

Matt. 11:3

and said to him, Art *thou*


the coming [one]? or are we
to wait for another? (Info
about brackets)

For here have we no


continuing city, but we
seek one to come.

Heb. 13:14

for we have not here an


abiding city, but we seek

"wonderful works," "mighty works," etc.

"works of power"

Many will say to me in


that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy
name have cast out
devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful
works?

Matt. 7:22

Many shall say to me in that


day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied through
*thy* name, and through
*thy* name cast out
demons, and through *thy*
name done many works of
power?

Then began he to
upbraid the cities
wherein most of his
mighty works were
done, because they
repented not:

Matt. 11:20

Then began he to reproach


the cities in which most of
his works of power had
taken place, because they
had not repented.
["Works of power" is a
term mainly used by
occultists! To my
knowledge "works of
power" appears only in
the Darby Version and the
Bible in Basic English.
Darby marked his version
15 times with this phrase.]

"followers"

"imitators"

For ye, brethren, became 1 Thess. 2:14


followers of the
churches of God which 1 Cor. 4:16
in Judaea are in Christ
1 Pet. 3:13
Jesus: for ye also have

Jesus; for *ye* also have
suffered the same things of
your own countrymen as

Jews:

also *they* of the Jews,


I entreat you therefore, be
my imitators. [False
apostles imitate genuine

Wherefore I beseech
you, be ye followers of

See, brethren, lest there be


in any one of you a wicked
heart of unbelief, in turning
away from [the] living God.

Darby's use of brackets


around the word "the"
indicates that the critical
Greek manuscripts did
not include this word.

See explanation regarding


brackets above.
"servant"

"bondman" (slave)

A servant is one who


serves voluntarily or
under compulsion.

A bondman is a slave -- a
person who serves under
compulsion.

God's people choose to


serve God. They make
moment-by-moment
choices to either yield to
or quench the Holy
Spirit. Unlike Satan,
God does not bring his
children into bondage.

A bondman (slave) is held


in bondage to another and is
wholly subject to the will of
another. A slave is held as
chattel and has no freedom
of action.
Satan's followers regard
Christians as slaves of Jesus
Christ. They consider
Christianity as the worst
form of slavery and think of
God as a cruel, merciless
master because he does not
permit his followers the
"freedom" to sin. Thus, they
use the word, slave to

describe their perception of


a Christian's relationship to
the God of the Bible. John
Darby marked 69 New
Testament verses with the
word, "bondman" (slave).
Paul, a servant of Jesus
Christ, called to be an
apostle, separated unto
the gospel of God

Romans 1:1

Paul, bondman of Jesus


Christ, [a] called apostle,
separated to God's glad
tidings

The disciple is not above Matthew 10:24


his master, nor the
servant above his lord.

The disciple is not above his


teacher, nor the bondman
above his lord.

And the servant of the


2 Tim. 2:24

And a bondman of [the]


Lord ought not to contend,
but be gentle towards all;

he signified it, sending by
his angel, to his bondman
John,
[Note: John Darby
removed "the" from
Revelation of Jesus Christ.
His removal of the definite
article, "the" serves to
remove the singular
quality of this revelation.
This set the stage for him to
add his own "revelation",
which he did.]

And they sing the song


of Moses the servant of

Revelation 15:3

And they sing the song of

king of nations.]

"ye do shew the Lord's death"

"announce the death..."

For as often as ye eat


1 Cor. 11:26

Lord's death till he

1 Corinthians 11:26 For as


often as ye shall eat this

that thou doest, except
God be with him.

Note: Teacher. New Agers


refer to their Christ as the
World

And a certain scribe


Matthew 8:19
came, and said unto him,
Master, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou
goest.

And a scribe came up and


said to him, Teacher, I will

him.
According to Darby's

gnostically marked passage,


Jesus Christ was raised
from the dead but he also
will be raised in the future.
The gnostic message (2)
contained in this passage is
that Jesus was raised
spiritually from the dead but
that his physical
resurrection will occur
when his followers are
resurrected.
The real English Bible
(KJV) says,
And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain,
and your faith is also vain. 1
Cor. 15:14
John Darby's preaching is in
vain (via 2 Cor. 4:14 in his
fake bible) because he sided
with the occultists who
created the revised Greek
text in saying that Christ
was raised and shall be
raised (2 Cor. 4:14) rather
than the truth: Jesus Christ
is raised from the dead and
we (his followers) will be
raised by him.

What is Point Within a Circle Symbolism?


Albert Mackey, a 33 degree Mason, disclosed the
meaning of the point within a circle symbol in
his book, A Manual of the Lodge:
The point within the circle is an interesting and
important symbol in Freemasonry. . . The
SYMBOL IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL BUT
SOMEWHAT ABSTRUSE ALLUSION TO THE OLD SUNWORSHIP, and introduces us for the first time to that
modification of it, known among the ancients as the WORSHIP
OF THE PHALLUS.
(Quote source: Albert Mackey as quoted in his book, A Manual of
the Lodge, pg 56 by Dr. Cathy Burns in Masonic and Occult
Symbols Illustrated, page 27)
Rev. George Oliver, also a Mason, admitted the point within a
circle symbolism refers to phallic worship:
. . . bore a more immediate relation to the generative principle of
nature, symbolized by the union of the sexes. I am ashamed to
stain my page with the discussion which this part of my subject
necessarily introduces, but it cannot be wholly avoided, as the
POINT WITHIN A CIRCLE , with an unequivocal ALLUSION TO
PHALLIC WORSHIP, was the principle object of devotion with
every people in the world . . . Even the Israelites themselves
were not entirely free from the contamination of such abominable
practices; for the Linga of the Hindus, the Phallus and the Priapus
of the Greeks and Romans, and the Baal-Peor of the idolatrous
Israelites, was one and the same monstrous emblem, which was
equally represented by a point within a circle. [Italics in the
original; Bold and caps added]
(Quote source: Rev. George Oliver as quoted in his book, Signs
and Symbols pg. 124-126 by Dr. Cathy Burns in her book, Hidden
Secrets of the Eastern Star page 196-97).

The Point within a circle symbol also represents the


power Freemasons regard as the "One Supreme
Power," or "the Great Architect of the Universe":
The point within a circle is one of the hieroglyphic signs of the
sun-god, RA, but is is not merely an image of the solar disc. For
one thing it is a masonic symbol, and H. A. Giles, the Chinese
scholar, who is himself a Mason, tells us it is held to represent
the One Supreme Power, whatever that power may be, the Great
architect of the Universe, recognized alike by ourselves and

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 corporate
logos (example: the Target store logo) and words. The "o" in a
word is a convenient place to mark a book cover for
Freemasonry. Indeed, this symbol is being placed on covers of
books that leaders in the Christian establishment claim are
biblical. As you can clearly see, the "Scofield Study Bibles Marked
With Masonic Symbolism" article demonstrates that Oxford
University Press, USA used "point within a circle" symbolism to
mark the Scofield Study Bible III for Lucifer, who is the real god
of Freemasonry.

Freemasonry's writings and symbols prove their god is


Lucifer:
"Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give
to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is
it 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 Accepted

Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike p. 321, 19th Degree


of Grand Pontiff; Emphasis added)
Publishers who mark book covers with Freemasonry symbolism
(as well as the writers and editors of such books) are sending an
obvious message. Will God's called-out-from-the-Falling-Away
people have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the
churches about Luciferically-marked book covers, doctrines, and
ministries? For an example . . .
Michael Pearl of No Greater Joy Ministries used Masonic "point
within a circle symbolism" for his book, Eight Kingdoms and sun
god symbolism for his ministry logo. He stated "The Sun [is] a
symbol 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 the
Textus Receptus) does not conform to Darby's dispensationalist
doctrine that Jesus Christ's first advent was for the purpose of
establishing an earthly kingdom, John Darby and Cyrus Scofield
chose to change Jesus' statement, "within you" to "in the midst
of."
Even with this alteration to the KJV text, Scofield needed to
qualify it in order to support the dispensationalist doctrine that
Jesus Christ did not come to earth for the purpose of saving his
people from their sins (1) but rather, to set up his kingdom on
earth:
The kingdom in its outward form, as covenanted to David 2Sa
7:8-17 and described by the prophets Cmt. on Zec 12:8 had been
rejected by the Jews; so that, during this present age, it would
not "come with observation" (lit. "outward show") but in the
hearts of men (cf) Lu 19:11-12; Ac 1:6-8.

Let us look at Jesus Christ's "the kingdom of God is


within you" statement in context:
Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he
answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh
not with observation:
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo
there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
As Cyrus Scofield pointed out in his footnote, obviously the
kingdom of God was not within the "self-righteous, Christ
rejecting Pharisees" but his point does not negate Jesus' words.
The haughty, unbelieving Pharisees demanded an answer but
Jesus' answer was directed toward those who were truly looking

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

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo


there! 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 he
was getting ready to go to the cross:
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my
kingdom were of this world, then would my servants
fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but
now 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 qualify
as they were resisting Jesus Christ's definition of the
kingdom of God with all their might.)
Jesus did not want those who were earnestly looking
for the kingdom of God to be misled into thinking that
it 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 to
earth to bring to his own people, the Jews, was a
kingdom that would be inside of them--written in their
hearts. This was prophesied in the book of Jeremiah:
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I
will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in
their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be
my people. Jeremiah 31:33
Since John Darby's allegedly rediscovered truth that Jesus Christ
came to earth in order to preside over an earthly kingdom of the
Jews is not taught in the KJV's "within you" rendering, Cyrus
Scofield (as he did numerous times in his Scofield Study Bible
1917 Edition), followed the Westcott/Hort Critical Greek text and

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 name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

Cyrus I. Scofield: "The Cross . . . made atone-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 a
specific occult connotation. Instead, he set the stage for the
insertion of the word, "at-one-ment," in place of the proper word,
atonement in a doctrinal statement about the Cross of Jesus
Christ. He accomplished this by first giving the correct
theological definition of atonement. Next, he placed "at-onement" in parenthesis next to the word, atonement. Lastly, he
inserted the word, "at-one-ment" in his statement about the
Cross: "It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made
"at-one-ment."

The Meaning of Atonement


The Webster's 1828 Dictionary states the theological
definition of atonement:
"In theology, the expiation of sin made by the obedience
and personal sufferings of Christ."
The Free Dictionary's definition of atonement: "The
reconciliation of God and humans brought about by the
redemptive life and death of Jesus."
The Webster's 1913 dictionary's definition of atonement:
(Literally, a setting at one.) Reconciliation; restoration
of friendly relations; agreement; concord. [Archaic]
Atonement (reconciliation with God by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
on the cross) does not have the same meaning as the theosophical
term, at-one-ment, which Theosophists define as union with God.

C. I. Scofield's switch to New Age terminology linked the


work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross with the work

of the New Age "Christ," who purposes to bring the


planet 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-onement," which is an occult term straight out of the New Age
Movement. C.I. Scofield wrote:
"It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made "at-onement."
Below is the complete footnote in the 1917 Old Scofield
Study Bible (page 148):
Le 16:6
1 Atonement
Margin: atonement
Atonement. The biblical use and meaning of the word must be
sharply distinguished from its use in theology. In theology it is a
term which covers the whole sacrificial and redemptive work of
Christ. In the O.T. atonement is the English word used to translate
the Hebrew words which mean "cover," "coverings," or "to cover."
Atonement (at-one-ment) is, therefore, not a translation of the
hebrew, 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 "sins
done aforetime" ("covered" meantime by the Levitical sacrifices),
which God "passed over" Ro 3:25 for which "passing over" God's
righteousness was never vindicated until, in the Cross, Jesus Christ
was "set forth a propitiation." See "Propitiation," Cmt. on Ro 3:25.
It was the Cross, not the Levitical sacrifices which made "at-onement." The O.T. sacrifices enabled God to go on with a guilty
people because they typified the Cross. To the offerer they were
the confession of his desert of death, and the expression of his
faith; to God they were the "shadows" Heb 10:1 of which Christ
was the reality. [bold emphasis added]
Also see the complete footnote in the 1917 Old Scofield Study Bible
(page 110):

Ex 29:33
1 atonement
Heb. kaphar, "to cover." The English word "atonement" (at-onement) is not a translation of the Heb. kaphar, but a translator's
interpretation. According to Scripture the legal sacrifice "covered"

the offerer's sin and secured the divine forgiveness; according to


the 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 that
the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins." Heb 10:4. The
Israelite's offering implied confession of sin and of its due desert,
death; and God "covered" (passed over," Ro 3:25 his sin, in
anticipation of Christ's sacrifice, which did, finally, "put away" the
sins "done aforetime in the forbearance of God." Ro 3:25; Heb
9:15. Cmt. on Ro 3:25. The word "atonement" does not occur in
the N.T.; Ro 5:11 meaning reconciliation, and so rendered in the
R.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 idea
that complete oneness with God can be experienced by human
beings." [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 Thought
religions (such as Christian Science) referring to the supposed
metaphysical unity or oneness of human beings and God as
demonstrated by Christ. Contrast the Christian term atonement,
which refers to Christs death on the cross as the means by which
he 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 is
God, is a prominently held view of most New Agers'
understanding of salvation. It is the unfolding of one's
consciousness to the point that the "True Self," the
divine nature, is realized. As a flower unfolds petal by
petal, 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 of
the world." Rather, they believe (as did Plymouth Brethren
leaders John Darby, Thomas Newberry and their American agent,
Cyrus Scofield), in the doctrine of the "consummation of the
age":
On the other hand, at no time since the Christian era, have the
precursor signs described in Matthew applied so graphically and
forcibly to any epoch as they do to our own times. When has
nation arisen against nation more than at this time? When have
"famines" another name for destitute pauperism, and the
famished multitudes of the proletariat been more cruel,
earthquakes more frequent, or covered such an area
simultaneously, as for the last few years? Millenarians and
Adventists of robust faith, may go on saying that "the coming of
(the carnalised) Christ" is near at hand, and prepare themselves
for "the end of the world."' Theosophists at any rate, some
of them who understand the hidden meaning of the
universally-expected Avatars, Messiahs, Sosioshes and
Christs know that it is no "end of the world," but "the
consummation of the age," i.e., the close of a cycle, which
is now fast approaching. [Bold emphasis added.]

Darby/Scofield's "coming in flesh" Christ


is Antichrist
The King James Bible tells us that "Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh":
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an antichrist. 2 John 1:7 KJV

The John Darby Version says "Jesus Christ coming in


flesh":
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do
not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh--this is the deceiver
and the antichrist. 2 John 1:7 John Darby Version
Cyrus Scofield's marginal-note-altered KJV says "Jesus Christ
coming in flesh":

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who


confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This
is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7 (Scofield's "Jesus
Christ 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 (future
tense)
Jesus Christ of 1917 Scofield Study Bible:

(future tense)

coming in flesh

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

Take the Darby/Scofield Test: Are you the Deceiver and the
Antichrist?
According to the King James Version, a deceiver and an antichrist

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


According to Cyrus Scofield's 1917 marginal-note-altered KJV, a
deceiver and an antichrist confess not "Jesus Christ coming in
flesh."
According to the John Darby Version: the deceiver and the
antichrist do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh.
Christians who believe the KJV is the word of God in English fail
the test of 2 John 1:7 as translated by John Darby and Cyrus
Scofield:
King James Version readers who have not respect of persons in
judgment do not confess Darby and Scofield's Christ (who is)
"coming in flesh." Rather, we confess that "Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh."
The Darby Version and Scofield's Study Bible (as well virtually all
modern versions) condemn as deceivers and antichrists those
who refuse to confess that Jesus Christ is yet to come in the
flesh. Indeed, those who hold fast to Jesus Christ as revealed in
the Authorized Version without marginal notes that recommend
corrupt text alterations shall be denounced as antichrists when
the One World Religion/Government gains full control. The only
confession of "Christ" that the one world church/global interfaith
movement approves is the one Darby marked his Version with
the one who is coming in the flesh as a teacher (rather than the
Master) and goes by the New Age title, "the Christ" rather than
Christ. This "coming in flesh" Christ is the New Age World
Teacher.

CLOSING COMMENTS: Some may object to my assertion that


Darby and Scofield's (and other modern versions') "Christ" of 2
John 1:7 is actually a thinly veiled reference to Antichrist but
sadly, this is definitely the case. 2 John 1:7 refers to the first
advent 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 his
glorious body." (See Philippians 3:21)

(Philippians 3:21) "Who shall change our vile body, that it


may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto
himself."

John Darby's Doctrinal Changes to Second


Thessalonians Chapter 2
King James Bible

John Darby Version

Now we beseech you,


brethren, by the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and
by our gathering together
unto him,

2 Thess. 2:1

Now we beg you,


brethren, by the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ
and our gathering
together to him,

That ye be not soon


shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit,
nor by word, nor by letter
as from us, as that the
day of Christ is at hand.

2 Thess. 2:2

that ye be not soon shaken in


mind, nor troubled, neither by
spirit, nor by word, nor by
letter, as [if it were] by us, as
that the day of the Lord is
present.

[At hand means close


in time; imminent.
Therefore this verse
tells us forthrightly
that the day of Christ
is not at hand or
imminent.

[The King James Bible


says the day of Christ is

not "at hand" or imminent.


Darby changed "day of Christ"
to "day of the Lord."

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

Let no man deceive you


by any means: for that
day shall not come, except
there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of
perdition;

2 Thess. 2:3

The dispensational
hermeneutic requires two
second comings, (one secret
and one public). Therefore,
John Darby altered this verse
and turned the "day of Christ"
into the "day of the Lord."
(Cyrus Scofield followed suit
in his 1917 Reference Bible.)
See: John Darby and
Cyrus Scofield on the "Day
of Christ"

Let not any one


deceive you in any
manner, because [it will
not be] unless the
apostasy have first
come, and the man of
sin have been revealed,
the son of perdition

Who opposeth and


exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that
is worshipped; so that he
as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.

2 Thess. 2:4

who opposes and exalts


himself on high against all
called God, or object of
veneration; so that he himself
sits down in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he
is God.
The son of perdition will exalt
himself above all that is called
God but he will not exalt
himself on high, which is the
dwelling place of God. (Psalm
113:5 "Who is like unto the
LORD our God, who dwelleth
on high")

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

Important: J.N. Darby

replaced the phrase, "as


God" with "he himself" and
added the word, "down" to
make the phrase, "sits down."
This gives the impression of
sitting down in a chair or
throne. This is more specific
than the idea of occupying in
an official capacity.

Remember ye not,
that, when I was yet
with you, I told you
these things?

2 Thess. 2:5

Do ye not remember
that, being yet with you,
I said these things to
you?

And now ye know


what withholdeth that
he might be revealed
in his time.

2 Thess. 2:6

And now ye know that


which restrains, that he
should be revealed in his
own time.

For the mystery of iniquity


doth already work: only he
who now letteth will let,
until he be taken out of
the way.

2 Thess. 2:7

For the mystery of


lawlessness already works;
only [there is] he who
restrains now until he be
gone,

The KJV states, until


he (who now letteth)
will be be taken out of
the way.

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

Darby inserted the message


that he who restrains the
mystery of lawlessness will be
gone. This supports the pretrib rapture doctrine-- that all
Christians (and thus the Holy

Spirit that indwells them) will


be removed from the earth so
that the Antichrist (son of
perdition) may be revealed.
And then shall that Wicked
be revealed, whom the
Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth,
and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming:

2 Thess 2:8

[Destroy means "to


do away with, cause
the destruction or
undoing of"]

[Annul means 1. "to make or


declare void or invalid." Its
secondary meaning is "to
obliterate the effect or
existence of"

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

Even him, whose coming


is after the working of
Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders,

[Wonder: Something
that arouses
amazement or awe.
What kind of wonders
will come about by
the working of Satan?
Lying wonders

And with all


deceivableness of
unrighteousness in
them that perish;
because they received
not the love of the
truth, that they might
be saved.

and then the lawless one shall


be revealed, whom the Lord
Jesus shall consume with the
breath of his mouth, and shall
annul by the appearing of his
coming;

2 Thess. 2:9

Note Darby's
subliminal

2 Thess. 2:10

Darby removed "the


brightness of his coming and
replaced it with "the
appearing of his coming."
Darkness is opposed to the
brightness of Jesus Christ.]
whose coming is according to
the working of Satan in all
power and signs and wonders
of falsehood,

[Wonder: Something
that arouses amazement
or awe. Darby inserted
the subliminal message
that falsehood is a
wonder. He did not word
this verse to state the
truth: Satan works false
wonders.]
and in all deceit of
unrighteousness to them
that perish, because they
have not received the
love of the truth that
they might be saved.

And for this cause God


shall send them strong
delusion, that they should
believe a lie:

2 Thess. 2:11

[The KJV bible reveals that


God will cause those who
receive not the love of the
truth to believe a lie.

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

That they all might be


damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure
in unrighteousness.

2 Thess. 2:12

Note Darby's
doctrinal change
But we are bound to give
thanks alway to God for
you, brethren beloved of
the Lord, because God
hath from the beginning
chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of
the Spirit and belief of the
truth:

2 Thess. 2:13

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

And for this reason God sends


to them a working of error,
that they should believe what
is false,
[Darby removed the warning
about God-sent strong
delusion and the result of it:
the belief of "a lie," and
substituted the much softer
"working of error" and general
idea of "believe what is
false." God will cause those
who refuse to love the truth
to believe "a lie" that "that
Wicked" is God! This "lie" is
spiritually catastrophic and
Darby removed this warning
from the verse!]
that all might be judged who
have not believed the truth,
but have found pleasure in
unrighteousness
[Darby removed the penalty
of damnation for those who
believe not the truth but have
pleasure in unrighteousness.
The word, "judged" carries
with it the threat of doom but
it does not necessarily mean
damnation. To be damned
means to suffer everlasting
punishment in hell.]
But we ought to give thanks
to God always for you,
brethren beloved of [the]
Lord, that God has chosen
you from [the] beginning to
salvation in sanctification of
[the] Spirit and belief of [the]
truth:
[Your salvation comes
through the sanctification of
the Holy Spirit. Darby
changed Bible doctrine by
making the verse say God
chose you "in sanctification of
the Spirit".]

Whereunto he called
you by our gospel, to
the obtaining of the
glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

2 Thess. 2:14

whereto he has called


you by our glad tidings,
to [the] obtaining of
[the] glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand


fast, and hold the
traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by
word, or our epistle.

2 Thess. 2:15

So then, brethren, stand firm,


and hold fast the instructions
which ye have been taught,
whether by word or by our
letter.

Note Darby's
doctrinal change

[John Darby's task was to


bring new doctrine (falsely
represented as "recovered
truths") to the church. It
would not serve his purpose
to produce a bible translation
that urges the brethren to
hold fast the traditions which
they had been taught.]

Now our Lord Jesus


Christ himself, and God,
even our Father, which
hath loved us, and hath
given us everlasting
consolation and good hope
through grace,

2 Thess. 2:16

But our Lord Jesus


Christ himself, and our
God and Father, who has
loved us, and given [us]
eternal consolation and
good hope by grace,

Comfort your hearts,


and stablish you in
every good word and
work.

2 Thess. 2:17

encourage your hearts,


and establish you in
every good work and
word.

Darby Version: Title of New Age World Teacher


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

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

King James Bible


Neither be ye
called
masters: for
one is your
Master, even
Christ.

Matthew
23:10

John Darby Version


Neither be called instructors, for one is your
instructor, the Christ.

[In this verse, Darby's "the Christ" is a mere


instructor (teacher) like "the Christ" of the
New Age Movement.]
to see the 46 New Testament
verses where Darby reduced the Lord Jesus
Christ to a mere teacher.]

And daily in
the temple,

For we are
made
partakers of
Christ, if we
hold the
beginning of
our
confidence
stedfast unto
the end;

Hebrews
3:14

Therefore
leaving the
principles of
the doctrine
of Christ, let
us go on unto
perfection;
not laying
again the
foundation of
repentance
from dead
works, and of
faith toward
God,

Hebrews 6:1

Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the


Christ, let us go on to what belongs to full growth,
not laying again a foundation of repentance from
dead works and faith in God,

How much
more shall the
blood of
Christ, who
through the
eternal Spirit
offered
himself
without spot
to God, purge
your
conscience
from dead
works to
serve the
living God?

Hebrews
9:14

how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who


by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God,
purify your conscience from dead works to worship
the living God?

For we are become companions of the Christ if


indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm
to the end;

[The KJV says we are made "partakers of


Christ." Darby says "we are become
companions of "the Christ."]

So Christ was
once offered
to bear the
sins of many;
and unto
them that
look for him
shall he
appear the
second time
without sin
unto
salvation.

Hebrews
9:28

But sanctify
the Lord God
in your

John Darby & Cyrus I. Scofield's


"Habitable Earth/World" Doctrine
Habitable means "capable of being inhabited; that may
be inhabited." In these latter days, who determines
which parts of the earth are habitable? The United
Nations Division for Sustainable Development--Agenda
21. They are working to bring what they have
determined to be the habitable portions of the world under
the control of a ruling elite. (And yes, the "Intelligence" that led
John Darby in his bible translation and C. I. Scofield in his
marginal-note alterations knew all about Sustainable
Development...long before the general public knew of any such
plans.)

John Nelson Darby changed bible doctrine by modifying


the words, earth and world with the word, "habitable."
(Cyrus Ingerson Scofield followed suit in his 1917 Scofield
Reference Bible.) As you read the verses in the John Darby
Version in which he inserted the word, "habitable," you will
discover how this not only altered Bible doctrine--including Jesus
Christ's command of where the gospel is to be preached--but this
word also served to pave the way for the acceptance of the
doctrine of Sustainable Development by those who otherwise
would be most resistant to it:
Bible-believing Christians
Darby Version: Matthew 24:14 And these glad tidings of the
kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a
witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end. [KJV: In
all 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 all
the world. John Darby chose to have his "bible" say "these glad
tidings shall be preached in the whole habitable earth."
it is chilling to contemplate that the "Intelligence" that led John
Darby to translate the Bible in this manner was well aware that
one day the United Nations Division For Sustainable Development
would impose upon the world's population their determination of
which parts of the earth are habitable.

Darby Version: Luke 2:1 But it came to pass in those days that a
decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be
made 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 noteworthy
as defining the usual N.T. use of oikoumene as the sphere of
Roman rule at its greatest extent, that is, of the great Gentile
world-monarchies Da 2:7. That part of the earth is therefore
peculiarly the sphere of prophecy.
John Darby's frequent use of the globalist buzz phrases,
"habitable world" and "habitable earth" in his Bible translation
and Scofield's use of "inhabited earth" in his footnotes imparts
the message that God originated the doctrine of Sustainable
Development! (Actullly, it was Satan, the god of the One World
Church and One World Government who originated the habitable
earth/world doctrine.)
Darby Version: Luke 4:5 And the devil, leading him up into a high
mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world
in 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 and
expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the
powers of the heavens shall be shaken. [KJV: earth]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth.
John Darby and Cyrus Scofield limited the scope of the
terrible things that would come upon the earth at the
return of Jesus Christ by adding the word, "habitable"
to earth. According to Darby's and Scofield's "habitable
earth" rendering of these verses, only the areas (in
which Agenda 21 has) designated as habitable will
come under the judgment of God.
Darby Version: Acts 17:31 because he has set a day in which he
is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by the
man whom he has appointed, giving the proof of it to all in having
raised him from among the dead. [KJV: the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth.
According to the Darby Bible and Scofield's marginal notes, God
will judge only the habitable earth in righteousness. Darby
changed the Bible doctrine of God's judgment of the world to the
NWO-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 their
words to the extremities of the habitable world. [KJV: the
world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)
Darby Version: Hebrews 1:6 and again, when he brings in the
firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's
angels worship him. [KJV: the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)
Darby Version: Hebrews 2:5 For he has not subjected to angels
the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;
[KJV: the world to come]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)
Darby Version: Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word
of my patience, *I* also will keep thee out of the hour of trial,
which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try
them that dwell upon the earth. [KJV: all the world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)
Darby Version: Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast
out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he
who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [KJV: the whole
world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)

According to John Darby's allegedly "very literal" bible translation


and Scofield's marginal-note-altered KJV, the devil conforms to
the "UN blueprint for global transformation." (1) Considering the
fact that Satan is behind the heinous plan to force the world's
population into restricted zones which can be most easily
managed by Antichrist's regime, it is disconcerting that John
Darby and Cyrus Scofield included this brazen marking in their
foundational worksThe John Darby Version and the 1909 and
1917 Scofield Reference Bible.

Darby Version: Revelation 16:14 for they are the spirits of


demons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole
habitable world to gather them together to the war of that
great day of God the Almighty. [KJV: the whole world]

Scofield's marginal note: oikoumene = inhabited


earth. (Lk. 2:1)
John Darby's and Cyrus Scofield's insertion of the word,
"habitable" into key Bible verses supports and legitimizes the
United Nations' plan to designate certain portions of the earth as
habitable (the areas in which they can most easily control the
population) while the rest is uninhabitable. The habitable
earth/world doctrine is only one of occult markings Darby and
Scofield made to Holy Bible via direct text and marginal note
alterations. (Another doozy is C.I. Scofield's use of the occult
term at-one-ment in his Reference Bible.

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


dead"
To rise from "the dead" (the state of being dead) does not have the
same connotation as to rise from "among the dead" (possessing like
qualities or being conjoined with the dead). Every person who is
among the dead is in this company because "all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23) The Lord Jesus Christ was never
among this number.

Unlike those who are "among the dead," death did not pass upon him
because 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. Jesus

Christ, who died to redeem sinners, temporarily experienced death but his death was
not 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 Christ
as 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 from
among the dead. [John Darby's Version of Christ was in the abyss! One of the

definitions of abyss is hell.]}

from the dead should
mean.

them, saying, Tell the vision
to no one, until the Son of
man be risen up from among

And as they descended from


the mountain, he charged
them that they should relate
to no one what they had seen,
unless when the Son of man
should be risen from among

And they kept that saying,
questioning among
themselves, what rising from
among the dead was.

Luke 24:5

And as they were filled with


fear and bowed their faces to
the ground, they said to

behoved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead
the third day:

Luke 24:46

and said to them, Thus it is


written, and thus it behoved
the Christ to suffer, and to
rise from among the dead the
third day;

When therefore he was


risen from the dead, his
disciples remembered that
he had said this unto
them; and they believed
the scripture, and the
word which Jesus had
said.

John 2:22

When therefore he was raised


from among the dead, his
disciples remembered that he
had said this, and believed
the scripture and the word
which Jesus had spoken.

For as yet they knew not


the scripture, that he must
rise again from the dead.

John 20:9

for they had not yet known


the scripture, that he must
rise from among the dead.

This is now the third time


that Jesus shewed himself
to his disciples, after that
he was risen from the

[The usage of "among


the dead" is
straightforward.
Jesus' disciples were
looking for a dead
body. "Among the
dead" properly refers
to a burial place in
this verse.]

God raised from the dead,

more dominion over him.

Romans 6:9

been raised up from among
the dead dies no more: death

But if the Spirit of him that


raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from the
dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Romans 8:11

But if the Spirit of him that


has raised up Jesus from
among the dead dwell in you,
he that has raised up Christ
from among the dead shall
quicken your mortal bodies
also on account of his Spirit
which dwells in you.

Or, Who shall descend into


the deep? (that is, to bring
up Christ again from the
dead.)

Romans 10:7

or, Who shall descend into the

abyss is hell.]

with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:9

thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and

[For John Darby to place
Jesus Christ in the heavens
rather than in heaven is not
that surprising considering
that he lowered the status of
the Lord Jesus Christ in other
verses of his Darby Version as
well.]

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, would
approve. Scofield's use of copious marginal notes and footnotes altered the meaning
of the KJV text just as surely as if he had produced his own bible "version."

condemned to eternal punishment in hell. It follows that Darby and Scofield
replaced hell with hades.

John, who also am your


brother, and companion in

I John, your brother and


fellow-partaker in the

Patmos, for the word of

[Darby removed "Christ"
twice.]

I know thy works, and

thou holdest fast my

I know where thou dwellest,

And the four beasts said,
Amen. And the four and

And I beheld, and heard


an angel flying through

Woe, woe, woe, to the

angels, which are yet to

Revelation 8:13

Therefore rejoice, ye
heavens, and ye that dwell

come down unto you,
having great wrath,
because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.

Revelation 12:12

And the four living creatures


said, Amen; and the elders
fell down and did homage.

[Darby changed
"worshipped" to "did
homage" and removed
"that liveth for ever and
ever."
And I saw, and I heard an
eagle flying in mid-heaven,
saying with a loud voice, Woe,
woe, woe, to them that dwell
upon the earth, for the
remaining voices of the
trumpet of the three angels
who are about to sound.

[Darby changed "angel" to


"eagle" and "midst of
heaven" (center of
heaven) to mid-heaven
(The middle of heaven or
the sky.) He removed
"by reason of" and
changed "yet" to
"about."]
Therefore be full of
delight, ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the earth and to
the sea, because the
devil has come down to
you, having great rage,
knowing he has a short
time.

angry with the woman,

"the throne" and
removed "book" (in
reference to the book of
life!)]

"wash their robes."]
and death and hades were
cast into the lake of fire. This
is the second death, even the
lake of fire.
John Darby and Cyrus
Scofield changed hell

hades, which they


defined as:

to

(Darby): ". . . the


temporary state of departed
spirits, the unseen world. . ."
(1)
(Scofield): "the unseen
world," is revealed as the
place of departed human
spirits between death
and resurrection. (2)
The Lord Jesus Christ warned
that Hell is a "furnace of fire"
where the wicked are sent
after death; it is the place of
the damned. Since Darby and
Scofield removed hell from
many verses, it follows that
they removed damnation as
well via Darby's Version and
Scofield's marginal-notealtered KJV.)
And the sea gave up the
dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in
them: and they were
judged every man
according to their works.

Revelation 20:13

And the sea gave up the dead


which [were] in it, and death
and hades gave up the dead
which [were] in them; and
they were judged each
according to their works:

[Darby changed hell to


hades.]
I am he that liveth, and
was dead; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys
of hell and of death.

Revelation 1:18

and the living one: and I


became dead, and behold, I
am living to the ages of ages,

[Darby changed hell to


hades.]
And I looked, and behold a
pale horse: and his name
that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed

Revelation 6:8

And I saw: and behold, a pale


horse, and he that sat upon it,

authority was given to him
over the fourth of the earth to

hunger, and with death, and

hunger, and with death,


and with the beasts of the

[Darby changed hell to


hades.]

Saying, I am Alpha and


Omega, the first and the
last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and
send it unto the seven
churches which are in
Asia; unto Ephesus, and
unto Smyrna, and unto
Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and
unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:11

And the seventh angel


sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven,
saying, The kingdoms of
this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and
of his Christ; and he shall
reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 11:15

saying, What thou seest write


in a book, and send to the
seven assemblies: to
Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and
to Pergamos, and to Thyatira,
and to Sardis, and to
Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

[Darby replaced
"churches" with
assemblies and removed
"I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last."]
And the seventh angel
sounded [his] trumpet: and
there were great voices in the
heaven, saying, The kingdom
of the world of our Lord and
of his Christ is come, and he
shall reign to the ages of
ages.

Darby drastically
changed this verse. He

changed "The kingdoms of


this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of
his Christ" to "The kingdom

(singular) of the world of


our Lord and of his Christ
is come"
This Bible verse teaches us
that the kingdoms of the
world (which are currently
under the authority of Satan,
the "god of this world") will
become the kingdoms of our
Lord (the God of the Bible)
and of his Christ.
Darby's alterations to the text
correspond with the beliefs of

New Agers. They deny that


the kingdoms of the world
(which are currently under
Satan's rule) will become
the kingdoms of the God of
the Bible and of his Christ.
They believe the kingdom of
the world of (their) Lord and
(their) Christ is to come.
Saying, We give thee
thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and
wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power,
and hast reigned.

Revelation 11:17

saying, We give thee


thanks, Lord God
Almighty, [He] who is,
and who was, that thou
hast taken thy great
power and hast reigned.
[Darby removed "art to
come"]

And I looked, and, lo, a


Lamb stood on the mount
Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four
thousand, having his
Father's name written in
their foreheads.

Revelation 14:1

And I saw, and behold, the


Lamb standing upon mount
Zion, and with him a hundred
and forty-four thousand,
having his name and the
name of his Father written
upon their foreheads.

[Modern corrupt versions


(including Darby's) add
"having his name"]
[Darby altered Revelation
1:19, 2:10, 3:10, 3:16, 6:11,
8:13, and 17:8 with the
words, "about to" in order to
add a sense of immediacy to
the verses.]

(2) Scofield's quote: the Luke 16:23 footnote of the 1917 Darby Reference Bible

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


Christ"
The 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible reveals that Cyrus
Scofield (following in John Darby's footsteps) made two days out of one day by
devising a different meaning for "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord." This was
necessary 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 Jesus
Christ, he inserted imminence into his Bible translation.)
C. I. Scofield placed two comings of Jesus Christ into his 1917 Reference Bible by
stating that "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" apply to saints only
and "day of the Lord" applies to the judgment of the world. By assigning the
synonymous terms, "day of Christ/day of the Lord Jesus Christ" and "day of the
Lord" to different events, Scofield produced what cannot be found in the unaltered
and 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; 2Co
1:14; Php 1:6; 2:16. A.V. has "day of Christ," 2Th 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of the
Lord" Isa 2:12; Re 19:11-21 The "day of Christ" relates wholly to the reward and
blessing of saints at his coming, as "day of the Lord" is connected with judgment.

John Darby Version Replaced "World" with "Age"


(Dispensation)
According to the Scofield 1917 Reference Bible, "A dispensation is a period of time
during 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 key
New Testament prophetic passages by replacing the word, "world" with "age." In
most 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 the
world.

Occult Phrase, "Works of Power" Marks


Darby Version
"Works of power" is a term largely used by occultists!
(For example, theosophist Helena Blavatsky used this
term in her writings.) To my knowledge "works of
power" appears in Darby's translation of the scriptures
and the Bible in Basic English. Darby marked his
version 15 times with this phrase.
Matthew 7:22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have
we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name
cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of
power? [KJV: wonderful works]
Matthew 11:20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which
most of his works of power had taken place, because they had
not repented. [KJV: mighty works]
Matthew 11:21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for
if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken
place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth
and ashes. [KJV: mighty works]
Matthew 11:23 And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up
to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the
works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place
in Sodom, it had remained until this day. [KJV: mighty works]
Matthew 13:54 And having come into his own country, he taught
them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said,
Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power?
[KJV: mighty works]
Matthew 13:58 And he did not there many works of power,
because of their unbelief. [KJV: mighty works]
Matthew 14:2 and said to his servants, This is John the baptist:
*he* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of
power display their force in him. [KJV: mighty works]
Mark 6:2 And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the
synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence has
this man these things? and what is the wisdom that is given to
him, and such works of power are done by his hands? [KJV:
mighty works]

Mark 6:14 And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had
become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among
the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by
him. [KJV: mighty works]
Luke 10:13 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if
the works of power which have taken place in you had taken
place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in
sackcloth and ashes. [KJV: mighty works]

rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of
power which they had seen, [KJV: mighty works]

George Meller Chose His Bible Over


Darby's Doctrines
George Meller, a truly godly man who was once a
member of the Plymouth Brethren, admitted that his
support of John Darby's doctrines must not continue if
he were to remain true to God's word:
"My brother, I am a constant reader of my Bible, and I soon
found that what I was taught to believe did not always agree with
what my Bible said. I came to see that I must either part
company with John Darby, or my precious Bible, and I chose to
cling to my Bible and part from Mr. Darby." -George Meller, a
contemporary and one-time supporter of Darby quoted by Robert
Cameron in his book, Scriptural Truth About the Lord's Return,
pages 146-147

ye may understand my
knowledge in the mystery

understand my intelligence in
the mystery of the Christ,)

love may abound yet more
and more in knowledge
and in all judgment;

And this I pray, that your love


may abound yet more and
more in full knowledge and all
intelligence,

For we ourselves also were


sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and
pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and
hating one another.

Titus 3:3

For we were once ourselves


also without intelligence,
disobedient, wandering in
error, serving various lusts
and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and hating
one another.

and to love him with all the


heart, and with all the
intelligence, and with all the
soul, and with all the
strength, and to love one's
neighbour as one's self, is
more than all the burntofferings and sacrifices.

That ye may be blameless


and harmless, the sons of
God, without rebuke in the
midst of a crooked and
perverse nation

Phil. 2:15

that ye may be harmless and


simple, irreproachable
children of God in the midst of
a crooked and perverted
generation

John Darby substituted


simple for blameless.
Christians must not be
simple and ignore the
light God is giving them
regarding the Father of
Dispensationalism's
manipulation of the
Bible.

God's Wisdom & Understanding Vs


Darby's Intelligence
Below are the definitions of the words that J.N. Darby
replaced with "intelligence" in his John Darby Version.
I have emphasized the part of each definition that especially fits
the biblical use of the words cited in this chart. John Darby
repeatedly used the word, "intelligence" to replace moral
attributes that God gives to those who belong to him:
understanding, wisdom, and judgment.

wise: 1. Properly, having knowledge; hence, having the power

of discerning and judging correctly, or of discriminating between


what 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 be
speculatively and not practically wise.

wisdom: (noun) 1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; the

choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish


them. This is wisdom in act, effect, or practice. If wisdom is to be
considered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerning
or judging what is most just, proper and useful, and if it is to be
considered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use of
what is best, most just, most proper, most conducive to
prosperity or happiness. Wisdom in the first sense, or practical
wisdom, is nearly synonymous with discretion. It differs
somewhat from prudence, in this respect; prudence is the
exercise of sound judgment in avoiding evils; wisdom is the
exercise of sound judgment either in avoiding evils or
attempting good. Prudence then is a species, of which wisdom
is the genus.

understanding (noun) 1. The faculty of the human mind by

which it apprehends the real state of things presented to it, or by


which it receives or comprehends the ideas which others express
and intend to communicate. The understanding is called also the
intellectual faculty. It is the faculty by means of which we obtain
a great part of our knowledge. Luke 24. Eph. 1.
By understanding I mean that faculty whereby we are enabled
to apprehend the objects of knowledge, generals or
particulars, absent or present, and to judge of their truth or
falsehood, good or evil.

foolish (noun) 1. Void of understanding or sound

judgment; weak in intellect; applied to general character.


2. Unwise; imprudent; acting without judgment or discretion in
particular things.
3. Proceeding from folly, or marked with folly; silly; vain; trifling.

judgment (noun) The act of judging; the act or process of the


mind in comparing its ideas, to find their agreement or
disagreement, and to ascertain truth; or the process of
examining facts and arguments, to ascertain propriety and
justice; or the process of examining the relations between one
proposition and another.

1. The faculty of the mind by which man is enabled to


compare ideas and ascertain the relations of terms
and propositions; as a man of clear judgment or sound
judgment. 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

Greek-English New Testament by George Ricker Berry until


I read an internet article written by Barbara Aho that used the
George Ricker Berry Interlinear to "prove" the King James 1611
Bible is incorrectly translated regarding the mark of the beast
being "in" the hand or "in" the forehead. Mrs. Aho seeks to
convince her readers that the Greek word, "epi," (which the King
James translators usually translated as "in" in the mark of the
beast verses) should have been translated "on" because the
George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear, the Strong's
Concordance, (1) and another work says so. In fact, Mrs. Aho
stated:
The King James Version, although far superior to modern
versions, does not always follow the Textus Receptus, the
Received Greek Text of the New Testament. (2)
By this, she means the King James Version does not always
match the English definitions provided in the George Ricker Berry
English Interlinear. Indeed it does not, and for very good reasons.
Due to the fact that most modern bible versions and some
prominent false teachers of bible prophecy also teach the mark of
the beast will be "on" the hand or "on" forehead, I knew it was
time to investigate the George Ricker Berry Greek to English
Interlinear. I have since learned that this interlinear has been
used for decades in KJV Bible colleges and seminaries and is
currently being endorsed by ministries dedicated to defending the
King James 1611 Bible.
The English definitions in the George Ricker Berry Interlinear are
the work of one man, Thomas Newberry. Newberry, a Plymouth
Brethren leader who chose to mark his Newberry Reference Bible
(originally published in 1893) with New Age jargon, selected the
English words for the literal translation of the Stephens 1550
Greek text (Received Text) which was published in the United
States in 1897 under the name, The George Ricker Berry Greek
to English Interlinear.
In view of the fact that Thomas Newberry's choice of words for
the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear matches many of the
words chosen by the New King James Version editorsalmost
100 years laterI am not surprised the New King James
[transitional] Version has been so widely received among former
King James 1611 Bible readers.
The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear is featured
on Amazon.com under the title, Greek to English Interlinear New
Testament-KJV. Is the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear as
authoritative or even more authoritative than the King James

1611 New Testament? Should the discerning Christian use the


George Ricker Berry Interlinear New Testament--KJV to verify the
accuracy of the King James 1611 New Testament? I believe that
after you have learned more about the background of the man
who authored the English definitions and examined the charts you
will agree the answer is "No."
Thomas Newberry's word-for-word literal translation from the
Greek sometimes presents Bible passages in a substantially
different way than the King James 1611. [See chart] The 1611
King James Bible was translated from the Received Text into
entire phrases and complete sentences for English readers. Literal
translations translate each word independently which can often
skew the meaning:

Literal translation refers to the result of translating


text from one language to another; translating each
word independently as opposed to translating the
entire phrase. Literal translations also ignore idioms.
For example, a literal translation of the German word
"Kindergarten" would be, "garden of children", but in
English it refers to the year of school between preschool and first grade. (3)
A respected Baptist pastor who is learned in Greek and regards
the KJV as the word of God kindly shared his views regarding the
George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear. He told me that
he used this interlinear as an aid to help him learn Greek (years
ago the George Ricker Berry was the only interlinear available
that was translated from the Received Text) but he warned that
readers without a solid Greek background are better off if they
stay away from this interlinear. This makes sense when one
considers the nature of literal translations:

The problem with this form of translation is that it


assumes a moderate degree of familiarity with the
subject matter on the part of the reader. (4)
The pastor explained that an understanding of Greek is necessary
so that one is not misled due to the way certain Greek words are
translated in the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear. For
example, the Greek word that is translated by Newberry as "ages
to ages" means one thing to a person familiar with Greek and
something entirely different to the English reader with no
background in the Greek language. To the English reader with no
Greek knowledge (such as myself), the phrase "ages of the ages"
means to continue for an indefinite period of time. To a Greek

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

Indeed, a Universalist who believes that "as Bible


translations become purer, we find that references to
Hell vanish from the pages of the Bible" (5) cited the

Newberry Reference Bible in an attempt to "prove" the heresy


that eternal punishment is not eternal. First the Universalist cited
a marginal note, "the ages of the ages" in the Newberry
Reference Bible 1893:
1. And these shall_go_away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
2. And the devil that deceived them was_cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where the beast and the false_prophet are, and
shall_be_tormented day and night forever and ever.
margin: the ages of the ages.
Next he used Newberry's marginal note to override the plain
teaching about hell in the King James 1611:

The Newberry is a KJV. The marginal notes open many


doors to see what is behind the English text. A step
out of "hell" forever. Hints are dropped that the Greek
words which KJV translated "eternal", "forever," etc.
really deal with ages, not eternity. The margins also
reveal the original Greek and Hebrew words translated
"hell." A diligent person could see that "eternal
punishment" was a false translation from this KJV
Reference Bible. The more we are told, the clearer it
becomes that Jesus will save all mankind and do it
Scripturally! (6)
In view of the fact that people are being led astray due to
Thomas Newberry's marginal notes, I do not share the pastor's
belief that the English definitions in the George Ricker Berry
English Interlinear are fairly harmless as long as the reader
understands Greek. I continue to have grave suspicions regarding
the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear because the author,
Thomas Newberry, was against the Textus Receptus!

My other concerns regarding Newberry's Interlinear

include:

It contains words and phrases that (like the modern


versions) promote New Age doctrine and demote the Lord
Jesus Christ. (For example, Newberry, in keeping with his
not-so-hidden modern version agenda, changed the word,
"her" to "their" thus making Jesus in need of purification
as well as his mother.)
It shares New Age phrases and wording in common with
modern bible versions, including the corrupt NKJV. See
proof of this statement in the chart, The George Ricker
Berry and the Darby Translation Compared. This chart
reveals that Thomas Newberry's work often matches
another Plymouth Brethren translation, the Darby
Translation.
The author, Thomas Newberry, used the New Age title,
"the Coming One" in reference to Jehovah and I AM. He
also paved the way for the Sacred Name Movement by
stating that "YAH" (which is a pagan Hebrew mystery
name) is a name of God: "The Title JAH or YAH is at once
one of the sublimest yet simplest of the Divine names." ( 7)

These are clearly modern version markings upon Newberry's


work. [Note: Like the NKJV translators, Thomas Newberry
replaced the words, "he that should come," with the name of the
New Age World Teacher--the Coming One]
Thomas Newberry did not truly hold to the Received Text or the
KJV as the word of God in English. (Indeed, Thomas Newberry
exalted the Revised Version and its underlying Greek texts above
the the Authorized Version.) This fact is further evidenced by
Newberry's complete collation of six critical Greek texts (8)
written by modernists which are placed in the lower margin of
every page of his George Ricker Berry Greek to English
Interlinear.
At this point you might not be surprised to learn that Thomas
Newberry owned and studied his own copy of the corrupt Codex
Sinaiticus manuscript. Dr. David O. Fuller cited Dean John W.
Burgon as referring to this Alexandrian manuscript as "very
nearly the foulest in existence." (9) Newberry poured over his
copy of the Codex Sinaiticus for 25 years and used the knowledge
gained from his study to write the notes for his Newberry Study
Bible!
Evidence of his minute attention to the sacred text lies before me
as I write, in a beautiful copy of Tischendorf's transcription of the
New Testament according to the Codex Sinaiticus, presented to
him by friends in London in 1863, which is annotated throughout
in his neat handwriting. It was after twenty-five years devoted to

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

(10)

Why are Christians who regard the King James 1611 Bible as the
word of God comparing the real English Bible with an English
Interlinear written by a man who studied "very nearly the foulest"
Minority Text manuscript in existence for 25 years and who used
the fruits of his study to write marginal notes and alternate
English definitions for his Newberry Study Bible? It is unrealistic
to assume that Thomas Newberry's 25-year study of the Codex
Sinaiticus had no effect upon the way he conducted his "literal,"
word-for-word translation of the Stephanus 1550 Greek New
Testament into English.
It is worthy to note that the publisher of the George Ricker Berry
Greek to English Interlinear does not disclose the true author of
the English Interlinear anywhere within its pages. The reader is
led to believe that George Ricker Berry wrote the English
Interlinear when in fact G. R. Berry wrote only the Greek-English
New Testament Lexicon and the New Testament Synonyms found
at the back of the Greek to English Interlinear that bears his
name.
The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear or any
interlinear (or any Reference Bible) should not be used by anyone
to cast doubt on or to "verify" the King James Bible.

George Ricker Berry Author Against


Textus Receptus
Some Bible teachers and preachers are moving away from
upholding the King James translation as the best translation of
the Holy Bible in English (the real Bible in English) and are urging
Christians to depend upon an interlinear, such as the George
Ricker Berry Interlinear as an authoritative tool to verify whether
the Textus Receptus (Received Text) is accurately translated into
English in the Authorized Version (KJV).

Some preachers and teachers regard the English words

chosen by Thomas Newberry author of the George Ricker Berry


Greek to English Interlinearas being more authoritative than
the KJV. Read on to learn why this is not the case.

The reason it is wrong to use the Interlinear KJV


Parallel Greek-English New Testament by George Ricker
Berry to try to assure yourself the KJV is properly translated is
because the REAL AUTHOR OF THIS INTERLINEAR Thomas
Newberryregarded the Received Text as "faulty" and
represented the KJV as having many inaccuracies, errors, and
obscurities in renderings:

The Revised Version. This is the result of repeated expressions


of dissatisfaction with the Authorised Version, repeated attempts
to amend it, and repeated calls for its revision, on account of the
faulty state of the original text it proceeded upon, the
comparatively defective knowledge of the original languages
on the part of the translators, and the proved presence of
many inaccuracies, errors, and obscurities in the
renderings. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,


pg. 944)

The author of the George Ricker Berry Greek to English

Interlinear boldly exalted the Revised Version over the KJV:


This Revised Version gives evidence of being the work of men
well qualified as scholars for their task, and animated with an
equally tender regard for both the original Scripture and the
Authorised Version. It is certainly much more accurate in
text and translation than the older version, but less pure and
musical in its English. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,


pg. 945)

Why would Thomas Newberry, a Plymouth Brethren leader, who


like John Darby, regarded the Textus Receptus to be inferior to
the critical Greek Text, translate the Received Text into English?
The answer is obvious: to attempt to discredit the King James
1611!
It is no longer a mystery why the George Ricker Berry Interlinear
reads like a MODERN VERSION in many places].

Note: The text the Authorized Version (KJV1611) proceeded


from is the Textus Receptus (Received Text).

The George Ricker Berry English Interlinear is Corrupt


Author Gail Riplinger rightly warned against trusting the English
definitions found in the Interlinear KJV Parallel Greek-English New
Testament by George Ricker Berry:
[The George Ricker Berry Greek/English Interlinear's] highly
corrupt English interlinear was drawn from a lexicon by the
Christ-hating and blood and Trinity-denying Unitarian, J.H.
Thayer (Thayers Lexicon)! He was on the vile ASV committee.

[1]

While the George Ricker Berry English interlinear is indeed


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

Greek/English Interlinear that bears his name. It is this material


that was drawn from Thayer's Lexicon. (See: Introduction to New
Testament Lexicon, pages iii-v)
Like me, you might be surprised to learn that Thomas Newberry,
author of the Newberry Reference Bible and prominent member
of the Plymouth Brethren movement, provided the English
definitions found in the George Ricker Berry Greek/English
interlinear. The George Ricker Berry Greek to English
Interlinear, (published in 1897) is the American reprint of
Thomas Newberry's The Englishman's Greek New
Testament (London: Samuel Bagster, 1877.) [2]
This interlinear is simply an American reprint of the Bagster
edition prepared by Thomas Newberry (see Newberry 1877) with
a different Introduction and with G.R. Berry's Lexicon and
Synonyms added to the end. [3]
The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear New
Testament has been serving as a bridge to modern versions since
its publication in 1897. This was accomplished via Thomas
Newberry's "emended" English definitions of the Textus Receptus
and his inclusion of footnotes to critical Greek text readings.
These maneuverings made the George Ricker Berry interlinear a
vehicle to promote textual criticism among King James 1611
adherents. The theological changes he made to the text that
conform to many changes in modern versions and his posting of
Greek texts selected by liberals and unbelievers who were
opposed to the Received Text reveal Thomas Newberry's REAL
AGENDA.

Below are the names of some of the fathers of modern


textual criticism whose work is reprinted (with no
disclaimer) in the George Ricker Berry Interlinear to
the subversion of the souls of many:
George Ricker Berry, The Interlinear literal Translation
of the Greek New Testament with the Authorized
Version conveniently presented in the margins for
ready reference and with the various readings of the
editions of Elzevir 1624, Griesbach, Lachmann,
Tischendorf, Tregelles, Alford, and Wordsworth, to
which has been added a new Greek-English New
Testament Lexicon, supplemented by a chapter
elucidating the synonyms of the New Testament, with
a complete index to the synonyms. New York: Hinds &

Noble, 1897. [4]


Newberry cited the work of Johan Jakob Griesbach, a
particularly well-known opponent of the Received
Text:
JOHANN JAKOB GRIESBACH (1745-1812) was one of the earliest
fathers of modern textual criticism. Marvin R. Vincent says, With
Griesbach, really critical texts may be said to have begun (A
History of the Textual Criticism of the New Testament, 1899, p.
100) [5]

Thomas Newberry was not in the company of godly


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

The George Ricker Berry Interlinear and the KJV


Compared
Below is a comparison of selected texts from the George Ricker Berry English
Interlinear and the King James 1611. (Many NKJV texts are included for
comparison.) There are many more differences but these changes often match
those found in modern bible versions. Why is this the case? Two Charts listed

below.

George Ricker Berry Author Against


Textus Receptus
Some Bible teachers and preachers are moving away from
upholding the King James translation as the best translation of
the Holy Bible in English (the real Bible in English) and are urging
Christians to depend upon an interlinear, such as the George
Ricker Berry Interlinear as an authoritative tool to verify whether
the Textus Receptus (Received Text) is accurately translated into
English in the Authorized Version (KJV).

Some preachers and teachers regard the English words

chosen by Thomas Newberry author of the George Ricker Berry


Greek to English Interlinearas being more authoritative than
the KJV. Read on to learn why this is not the case.

The reason it is wrong to use the Interlinear KJV


Parallel Greek-English New Testament by George Ricker
Berry to try to assure yourself the KJV is properly translated is
because the REAL AUTHOR OF THIS INTERLINEAR Thomas
Newberryregarded the Received Text as "faulty" and
represented the KJV as having many inaccuracies, errors, and
obscurities in renderings:

The Revised Version. This is the result of repeated expressions


of dissatisfaction with the Authorised Version, repeated attempts
to amend it, and repeated calls for its revision, on account of the
faulty state of the original text it proceeded upon, the
comparatively defective knowledge of the original languages
on the part of the translators, and the proved presence of
many inaccuracies, errors, and obscurities in the
renderings. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,


pg. 944)

The author of the George Ricker Berry Greek to English


Interlinear boldly exalted the Revised Version over the KJV:
This Revised Version gives evidence of being the work of men
well qualified as scholars for their task, and animated with an
equally tender regard for both the original Scripture and the
Authorised Version. It is certainly much more accurate in
text and translation than the older version, but less pure and
musical in its English. [Bold emphasis added]

(Quoted from The Newberry Reference Bible, Portable Edition,

pg. 945)
Why would Thomas Newberry, a Plymouth Brethren leader, who
like John Darby, regarded the Textus Receptus to be inferior to
the critical Greek Text, translate the Received Text into English?
The answer is obvious: to attempt to discredit the King James
1611!
It is no longer a mystery why the George Ricker Berry Interlinear
reads like a MODERN VERSION in many places].

Note: The text the Authorized Version (KJV1611) proceeded


from is the Textus Receptus (Received Text).

Old Testament
verses are not

Isaiah 14:12 to
show Darby's
manipulation of
this verse.
Instead of
translating the
verse, "weaken
the nations,"

Isaiah 14:12
(KJV How art
thou fallen from
heaven, O
Lucifer, son of
the morning!
how art thou
cut down to the
ground, which
didst weaken
the nations!)

How art thou fallen


from heaven,
Lucifer, son of the
morning! Thou art
cut down to the
ground, that didst
prostrate the
nations! (The verb
form of prostrate
most commonly
means bow down,
obey, submit, etc.

Darby has Lucifer


prostrate the
nations.

Less commonly the


verb form of this
word means wear
out, debilitate,
overcome, etc.
Darby's use of the
word prostate gives
place for the
exaltation of Lucifer.

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


Christ"
The 1 Cor. 1:8 footnote in the 1917 Scofield Reference Bible reveals that Cyrus
Scofield (following in John Darby's footsteps) made two days out of one day by
devising a different meaning for "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord." This was
necessary 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 Jesus
Christ, he inserted imminence into his Bible translation.)
C. I. Scofield placed two comings of Jesus Christ into his 1917 Reference Bible by
stating that "day of Christ" and "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" apply to saints only
and "day of the Lord" applies to the judgment of the world. By assigning the
synonymous terms, "day of Christ/day of the Lord Jesus Christ" and "day of the
Lord" to different events, Scofield produced what cannot be found in the unaltered
and 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; 2Co
1:14; Php 1:6; 2:16. A.V. has "day of Christ," 2Th 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of the
Lord" Isa 2:12; Re 19:11-21 The "day of Christ" relates wholly to the reward and
blessing of saints at his coming, as "day of the Lord" is connected with judgment.
[Emphasis mine.]

The Difference Between Tribulation and


Wrath
I would like to comment on another segment of Todd
Strandberg's article, "God Hath Not Appointed Us to
Wrath":
"In 1 Thessalonians 5:9 Paul assures us that God has not
appointed His people to wrath. This wrath is plainly God's anger
that will be poured out during the Tribulation. Pre-Trib believers
interpret this as meaning that Christians will be removed from the
earth. Post-Trib believers tell a different story. They describe this
as meaning that God will protect Christians during the Tribulation
and pour this wrath out on the unbelievers only. This idea runs
against the statement made in Rev. 13:7, where the Antichrist is
given power to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
A post-Trib view would make God's promise of protection from
wrath into a lie. In years past, it was possible to think of being
protected from the guns and swords of that day. Today, when
any major war would involve nuclear and chemical weapons, it's
impossible to expect that same kind of protection. When
Nagasaki, Japan was bombed during W.W.II, the bomb exploded
over a Catholic church. Everyone that was in the center of the
explosion died, both Christians and non-Christians. The only way
to validly interpret God's promise of protection from wrath, is by
viewing I Thess. 5:9 as the bodily removal of the Church from
this world."

My comments:
Todd Strandberg's statements, "A post-Trib view would make
God'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 to
pour out his wrath on the inhabitants of the earth who will not
bow down and worship him and take his mark. (Rev. 12:12)
God's wrath comes later, after the Lord Jesus Christ returns for
His church.

Making the words tribulation and wrath mean the


same thing is not honest when one honestly checks
the context of scripture. The words, "tribulation" and
"wrath" are not interchangeable.
Jesus Christ promised that we would have tribulation in this world

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

(John 16:33) "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye


might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world." (Revelation 2:10) "Fear
none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall
cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a
crown of life." (John 17:15) "I pray not that thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil."
God also tells us to wait for "his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who
delivered us from the wrath to come." We must wait
for the Lord Jesus, who has already delivered us from
the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom
he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the
wrath to come.
The Lord Jesus Christ has already delivered each
Christian from the wrath to come! This verse does not
say "will deliver." It says delivered. The Bible tells us
plainly what "the wrath to come" means. The wrath of
God is directed toward those who refuse to repent and
receive His mercy: the children of disobedience. The
wrath of God is His punishment on unbelievers. (See
Luke 3:7, Eph. 5:6, Col. 3:6, Rev. 6:17)
(Luke 3:7) "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be
baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?"
(Ephesians 5:6) "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for
because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience."
(Colossians 3:6) "For which things sake the wrath of God cometh
on the children of disobedience:"
(Revelation 6:17) "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?"

The saints of God are appointed to tribulation.


The children of disobedience are appointed to God's
wrath.
In Greek, the word wrath (ogre--3709) means
punishment God executes against the wicked.
The word tribulation (thilipsis--2347) refers to the
sufferings that Christians go through in this world for
Christ.
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 when

and the moon shall not give her light,"

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

Egypt and all his house. {11} Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt
and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance."
(Acts 11:19) " Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch,

Romans. 2:9, 5:3

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

tribulation worketh patience;"

2 Thessalonians 1:4
(2 Thessalonians 1:4) "So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions
and tribulations that ye endure:"
God pours out his wrath upon those who reject his
mercy (unbelievers) not his own children.

in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this
people."

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

Romans 1:18, 2:5, 8


(Romans 1:18) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"
(Romans 2:5) "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto
thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of
God;"
(Romans 2:8) "But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but
obey 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 in
the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were
by nature the children of wrath, even as others."
(Ephesians 4:31) "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:"

(Ephesians 5:6) "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
things 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 children
of disobedience:"

blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."

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 the
righteousness of God."

Revelation 6:16, 17, 11:18


(Revelation 6:16-17) "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us
from 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 the
time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward
unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small
and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
We must purpose to not be offended in Christ if things don't turn
out the way we hope and the way we have been told they will.
When Christians find themselves on earth when the New
World Order is in full swing and God's people are being
sought after for elimination, we need to understand that
we are suffering the wrath of Antichrist, not the wrath of
God.
God will not leave us or forsake us even during Tribulation if we
keep the faith -- obey his word without reservation and patiently
endure until the end. He has no difficulty protecting His people
from nuclear explosions, biological warfare, etc. but that is for
another article.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
(Hebrews 10:35-39) "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
recompence of reward. {36} For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done
the will of God, ye might receive the promise. {37} For yet a little while, and he
that 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 are
not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of
the soul."

We need to understand and keep the difference


between tribulation and wrath in our hearts and minds
so we will not be offended with the Lord Jesus Christ
and be spiritually set up to look for another Christ.
This is exactly what Satan is using his agents to
condition Christians to do. He wants them to embrace
a false Christ right now (a Fantasy "Christ" who will
permit them to live ungodly in this present world but
will still bring them to heaven when they die).
If Satan fails to entice the Christian into following a bogus Christ
now, he doesn't fret because he knows that most Christians have
been thoroughly primed to look for "another Christ" during the
Tribulation due to their belief that the doctrine of the tribulation
and 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 Order
planners could cause their faith in the biblical promises of God to
crumble. What an ominous set-up for the Luciferic Initiatition!
Yes, some false teachers (authors of the Left Behind Series) have
been setting Christians up for this very thing for years.
Believers who have believed their pastor's words that God would
definitely remove them from this earth before Antichrist is
revealed need to go back and read the bible again and ask God to
remove any spiritual blinders that are in place.

We need to study the difference between tribulation


and wrath carefully so we do not set ourselves up for
the spiritual fall Antichrist's followers are hoping and
planning for. We must never allow ourselves to think
these apostate thoughts:
"Jesus betrayed me. He could not have been the
Christ. I will look for another."
The Lord Jesus Christ will never leave us or forsake his
precious sheep (who hear his voice and follow him.)
However, we are capable of becoming offended in him
and 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 be
offended. {2} They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. {3} And these things
will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. {4} But
these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that
I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I
was with you."

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


World
The Lord Jesus prayed to the Father:
(John 17:15) "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that
thou 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 during
tribulation, but are we willing to be like Jesus prayed that we
would be? This is the condition to being protected in the times to
come. The condition is that we would not be of the world even
as Jesus is not of the world, and the promise (if this condition is
met) is "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the
world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil."

John Darby Reduced Jesus to Mere


Teacher 46 Times
