[St]upid ■ I thought they were; it is written and even if taught correctly, there are many who keep the lie; so my stand is this that they are liars.
REV 21:8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
REV 22:11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

I was thinking today about God being mocked. I spoke to a woman who sounded like the Mum in the life of Brian. So odd!! I was thinking is this mockery? Does God find it amusing. He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy etc. I think talent comes from God and they did expose the whole transgender thing. I dunno
Your videos are great. I don’t believe in “awakening movement”, all awakening and enlightening comes from within only through the help of the Holy Spirit. People who can and do appreciate you and your work have already started their journey and that’s why they can understand and feel sort of a connection with anybody carrying the truth. Those who can’t… can’t.
There other, older mentions of Jesus, which did not (quite) make it to the Old Testament… no surprisingly. The book of Enoch and 3rd Ezdra.
Best Regards
Very true I don’t listen to the news all fake I listen to God’s family that’s all I need I have no worries they give me peace and keep me calm take up KJV bible go in garden read watch the wild life ♥️ things growing by the hand of God ask and u will receive
2 Corinthians 3: But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”. Thank you Hugo. You’re becoming a mature Christian and helping others along the way.
Well done again. You are over the target. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” I have been conducting my own bible study on discernment the past few weeks. I have been looking at it from the point of view of a new Christian and how I would advise them so they are not easily led astray. Why? Because no one is immune. I, having been a Christian over 40 years, was almost led astray by delving into the book of Enoch but the Holy Spirit started throwing up red flags. Well the rabbit hole eventually led to meditation, new age religion, Kabballah, Enoch=Metatron=Yeshua=Jesus!!!! All stop! Reverse course! Ultimately, when I am presented with “new” wine, truth, concept, religion, etc. then I test it with 1 John 4, John 14:6 and Philippians 2:9-11. Whatever it is, it MUST testify and confess that JESUS CHRIST is the Lord. That JESUS CHRIST is the Son of the Living God, and He came to earth, in the flesh, and was sacrificed for our sins. That JESUS CHRIST is the only Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by JESUS CHRIST. Upon applying this test, if there is any hesitation, anger, hostility, argumentative debate…that should tell you what you need to know.
Hugo, my understanding of ‘Dispensationalism’ is of God ‘divorcing’ Israel and placing his favoured status on (western) Christians, especially those ‘born again’. I think this is pure anti-Semitism.
Speaking of Deception, I would love to hear a Hugo Talks on one or more of these subjects. Last weekend I went to a friend’s house and they were watching the Netflix series Lucifer. So I sat down and watched for a bit and the devil’s name was Lucifer Morningstar. I said, “Pause that for a minute! Can I see your Bible?” I flipped to Revelation 22:16 where Jesus calls himself the Morning Star. Then turned to Isaiah 14:12 and discovered the NIV had removed Lucifer entirely and replaced it with Morning Star! So in essence, according to these 2 verses in the NIV, Jesus is the one who fell from heaven. What’s that all about? Anyway, I kept watching a few episodes of this Hollywood deception operation and according to them, Lucifer is the good guy and just misunderstood. God is the bad guy. The typical absentee father that abandoned his children. Also, you only go to hell if you feel guilty about the things you did on earth and if you just let go of the guilt you can free yourself from hell and go to heaven. This whole concept reminded me of Aleister Crowley’s religion, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”. You probably are aware that John Nelson Darby founded the Exclusive Brethren, but did you know that Aleister Crowley spent his formative years as a child in the Exclusive Brethren before leaving to ultimately create Thelema? Crowley and Thelema influenced Jack Parsons (JPL) and L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology). So in a way, Darby gave us the Exclusive Brethren, Dispensationalism, Thelema, Scientology…and what else? The Scofield Bible? I don’t know. Is it all a coincidence? That could be a Hugo Talks subject in and of itself. Anyway, your work is very interesting and gives me a lot to think about. Please don’t stop.
ephesians 1:10 has dispensation in the KJV
the israel land deal covenant was with Abraham, the father of our faith, and was unconditional
burnt offerings started with Able
romans 11 talks about how great it will be when the whole ephesians 1 dispensation happens
it’s not deception
it’s in the Bible!
Isreal is going to get alot of trouble again, no doubt…the whole armageddon thing, the 3rd temple, the anti-christ etc…
but then they also have the 144 thousand evangalist and the two witnesses.
blinded so we gentiles can be saved.
just to clarify.
it’s all about saving Jews and gentiles. in their times. there’s a time for everything.
Thank God!
One more time
Dispensation and Dispensationalism mean two different things Dispensation – exemption from a rule or usual requirement. Dispensationalism – a man made constructed theological theory of interpreting the Bible.
The word Dispensation is in the Bible and it means what it means, The word Dispensationalism is NOT in the Bible.
Dispensationalism is about Division, in order to control how people perceive things. Divide and conquer people’s way of looking at the gospel. That is why so many psyops, hang from the concept of Dispensationalism.
Why continue the myth of separation and division. You want people to think the country of Israel is the same as the initial covenant, when it is not. You want to create a them and us scenario. when it doesn’t exist?
Hugo, let us talk frankly. Remember when we were all there at the Last Supper with our master Jesus Christ? He had just informed us that His time on earth had come to an end and that He would be leaving us soon. Well, as you can imagine, we were all quite distressed about this, but especially Thomas. You remember Thomas…born in Galilee to humble JEWISH parents. He was great guy. Asked a lot of question though. I’ll never forget how he asked Jesus, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how can we know the way?” It really blew me away when Jesus immediately responded, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me….except, of course, you Thomas. Being an upstanding Jew and all, you have a special Dispensation and a different covenant and a different timeline altogether, but everyone else comes through me.” I must admit, my memory isn’t what it used to be. I should probably go back and read John 14 again. Dispensationalism is bunk! Feel how heavy the flak is? You must be near the target. Keep up the good work. God bless you and keep you.

Paul, Hebrew of Hebrews
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11, 11-13
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

So Bernard The Fathers will is to graft the righteous Gentiles into The Vine, do you argue with The Father?

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

Hi Hugo,
The word Dispensation as been around a long time, see below.
Dispensation can be translated to Hebrew as היתר, עידן, התר פטור, ברכה אפיפיורית, אישור מיוחד1. In the Bible, dispensation is translated as oikonomia, which means “administration (of a household or estate); specially, a (religious) ‘economy'”2. When the Bible is speaking from the viewpoint of the one who is in authority, dispensation is properly translated as “a plan” or “a plan of management”3. According to the Bible, the method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation4.
According to the Bible, the method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation
its God`s way of administration
Man may have twisted the meaning, but to a lot of preachers, its a way to describe God`s Plan. by dividing the word of God to make sense,
purpose and meaning.
For example God deals with King David differently to Moses, Jesus teaches His disciples differently to Paul`s teachings, if you don`t divide and look at the context, you end up applying all kinds of verses, to something that does not apply to you.
On the other hand Dispensationalism HAS NOT been around for a long time. This word was created in 1928. it has nothing to do with the use of the word Dispensation in the Bible.
Stop mixing Dispensation with Dispensationalism.
The word Terror is in the Bible, but Terrorism is not. They don’t mean the same thing.
Dispensationalism means a modern man made theological framework of interpreting the Bible, Dispensation means a general state or ordering of things / a particular arrangement / a formal authorization
And Dispensation means simply what its supposed to mean in scripture, its got nothing to do with the man made theory of dispensationalism.
1 Corinthians 9:17
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
Ephesians 3:2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Colossians 1:25
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
I’m not one to be making wise assessments on the precise meanings of words that many people argue over. When trying to be discerning I alway think of Jesus saying ” I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through ME”. That’s all I need to know… everything else leads away for Our Father (God).
Hugo you stated, “Do you need to read the Bible to be saved? Technically, no.” I wanted to encourage you because doctrinally you are correct and it is a critical truth to comprehend. In fact, it is what distinguishes Christians apart from others. As you know, Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Salvation does not require works, baptism, bible study, a rabbi or confession to a priest. The proof of this was shown to us when our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. Recall the 2 thieves crucified with Jesus Christ. Luke 23 tells us, “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” The thief never made it down off of that cross to be baptized, read scriptures, give to the poor or anything else. Yet he was saved. That being said…once saved by grace, Christians should endeavor to, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” Also, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”
You outline a serious confusion that is the difference between the lukewarm and the righteous.
You first have to understand what ‘works’ are being referred to Ephesians 2, and WHO Ephesians 2 is talking to, Pagans/Heathens/Gentiles who were never chosen and given the rules to live their lives by and build up a body of ‘good works’ (the root of the vine) and so gain salvation.
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 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:
Ephesians 2, 1–2
In fact they had been doomed to eternal death since Adam bought sin into the world because they HAD NO MEANS OF PUTTING THEMSELVES RIGHT, God himself chose another group of people.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5,12-13
Moses was given the means for the Jews to throw off their eternal death and gain salvation THE COMMANDMENTS, these were NEVER available to anyone else.
Until.
The RIGHTIOUS Gentiles came to the attention of God because of their good works WITHOUT a God given covenant but by pure faith, while most ‘Jews’ refused to accept Christ Jesus and give up the physical. God seeing this decided BY HIS OWN GRACE (grace is THE CHOICE OF GOD to change the rules because of our decisions in free will). God did his own ‘reset to zero’ making all equal in Christ Jesus; Christ Jesus taking all those accumulated sins of the doomed Gentiles onto himself while removing the PHYSICAL MARK of Gods family, (the physical circumcision) from ‘Jews’ which once made Jews superior to all men. The new covenant being SPIRITUAL and available to ALL. Thus giving those once doomed Gentiles the CHANCE of joining Gods family with The Spiritual Circumcision of The Heart while keeping clean through righteousness in The Commandments.
If God had kept the body of ‘good works’ built up and attached to the righteous Jews and tried to incorporate the righteous Gentiles only by pure faith, there would always be a way for the Jews to boast of their superior body of ‘good works’ that the Gentiles could NEVER have competed with. The Grace of God to give all RIGHTIOUS people the chance of salvation through a SPIRITUAL covenant of righteousness in The Commandments AND faith in Christ Jesus leading to The Circumcised Heart and salvation.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2, 8-9
The Bible id definitive in what will happen at the end times particularly after the 5th seal which occurs at the end of the first three and a half years.
God will take all the dead that died in PERFECTION, the saints, those that were tortured and died for refusing to give up Christ Jesus and kept The Commandments in their hearts. These saints will then wait under the alter for those few in total perfection that will also be killed in the same manner during tribulation, those to be joined to them, those that will make up the number the 144:000.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 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.
Revelation 6:9-11
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
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.
Revelation 2, 9-10
So what of those fully righteous left alive at the 5th seal?
Those fully righteous remnant of Jacob (Israel) will be led to a place of protection where the fully righteous Gentiles will be joined to them these people to complete The Church of Christ Jesus, these people held in protection from Tribulation.
1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Isaiah 14, 1-4
Unfortunately many delusional and lukewarm people will be left behind in the World during Tribulation. The test for those lukewarm in God will be how they behave during Tribulation. There will be people left alive after Tribulation, good and bad, first the dead will be judged according to their works from The Book of Life then those alive. Those lukewarm in God left alive after judgement will have a chance to learn from those fully righteous who make up The Church of Christ Jesus.
So what is the difference between the lukewarm and the fully righteous?
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14,12
So let us stop whining and do as we are told by God himself, follow ALL The Commandments and keep faith in Christ Jesus that he will be THE ONLY BREAD WE NEED and nothing else, even if we find ourselves within the World at Tribulation.
For those that are interested in discernment pay attention to Africa in connection to the war before the Lawless Man is reveled.
Well that’s quite a dissertation there. I prefer, like Hugo, to keep it simple (a point he made in the video) and was trying to encourage him, a new Christian, specifically. Satan is the author of confusion and deception and he is joyful when Christians fight, argue, debate and ultimately distract those who are seeking Jesus Christ (another point he was making). All I said was there is no priest or rabbi or works required to be initially saved. Jesus Christ is our High Priest and we can talk to him directly and be saved. He will intercede for us with the Father. Subsequently, we are to go out into the world, follow his commandments, live for Jesus Christ and spread the Good News.
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:26-27

Thank you, Hugo, your videos are so much appreciated.
Israel is the only country in the world that has its borders outlined in the Bible. It is not a construct of man, but God’s chosen land, His people, and where Jesus will return.
Like Israel itself, Hebrew is the only language recreated, is the only country ever reformed, and on the day prophesied in the Book of Daniel.
Your prophetic Bible texts are not in dispute, Hugo. They feature in Handel’s Messiah and countless other sacred choral works and are sung all the time in acknowledgement of Jesus in the sure and certain hope of salvation. Great work for which thanks.
Thanks for your informative talk about spiritual discernment and the need for Jesus to be our Saviour in order to be born again, and be sealed by God if we wish our names to be written in the Book of Eternal Life. I hear that the anti Christ purveyors of Artificial Intelligence are currently working on trans humanism (including animals) and eternal life. When Jesus was crucified He was ridiculed – they were not expecting their Messiah to be humble. By sacrificing His life for us in atonement for our sins, He was the Lamb of God. The majority of people in Israel are brought up to reject Jesus but not all and the Lord’s prayer in Aramaic is sung by many – Youtube ref The Lord’s prayer in Aramaic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4_O5MbctW4
The JWs obviously make known God’s name. They’re often referred to as a cult. Which means secret. Yet anyone is welcome at their meetings.
A little known fact. During WW2 the JWs were the only Christians in Germany to stand against against the Nazi regime. They were sent to concentration camps.
There is a inspired short film called Purple Triangles on their website at JW.org
Slaves of the Watchtower Society
It seems Satan has no lack of ideas for counterfeits of the Church of Christ. The Watchtower Society is just another one. The central objective is to get you away from pure trust in Jesus. The Devil doesn’t care what he gets you into, as long as it isn’t a born-again fellowship.
This false religion provides a sense of belonging to an important cause and then keeps you so busy working for the Watchtower that you don’t have time to critically examine the unbiblical teaching and structure.
The Watchtower Society uses mind control to keep tight reign on their members.

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 somewhere—not from the Bible—and 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.)
(Note: The fact that Mr. Darby died six years before Theosophy’s co-founder, 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. Most of these terms come straight out of Freemasonry as well.
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) http://users.ez2.net/nick29/theosophy/lessons04.htm
Darby and the Absolute
John Darby used the word, Absolute (with capitals to indicate a title) in 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 http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/NOTESCOM/42023_9E.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.”
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.)
“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.]
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
“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 blind-belief. So to-day the religious actions and exercises are in greatest measure a farce, nay more, a blasphemy.”
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
“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/ephesians6.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.html)
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
“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, Page 190. http://www.inplainsite.org/html/alice_bailey_and_lucis_trust.html
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
the 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
You mention the “Architect” which in Freemasonry is the GAOTU, the Great Architect of the Universe, who they exalt. We exalt God and the universe he made, because that is the natural universe. What if the architected ‘universe’ is simply the created deception that is the world? Satan is the god of this ‘world’, so would make sense.
JohnM, thank you for posting this. I have been trying to connect the dots between Darby and Theosophy and Thelema but it is a lot of work. So I appreciate your efforts here. You obviously know that Darby founded the Exclusive Brethren but I found it interesting that Aleister Crowley spent his formative years as a child in the Exclusive Brethren. Jack Parsons (JPL) and L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology) were both influenced by Thelema and Crowley’s teachings. So in a way, Darby gave us the Exclusive Brethren, Dispensationalism, Thelema, Scientology and who knows what else. I asked Hugo Talks to consider a talk on this subject.
Thanks Bernard there is so much stuff out there to check and double check, and a lot of misinformation , the more i find, the more pops up, its bewildering, we have to be as wise as serpents ,
Matthew 10:16
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
What i have also discovered is many christian information sites/ fellowships/pastors etc are not 100% right in everything and sometimes they have doctrines that are not Biblical, but up front are saying all the right buzz words and born again sermons etc…In the last days we will have tares and wheat in our true born again churches which will include pastors and deacons etc…what i have learned to do is look, listen and sift the message according to the BIBLE(KJB) at all times, if it doesent line up i cast it away..Like the Bearians Acts 17:11
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
so now i review and check everything (but even at that i can make mistakes as well) but depend on the Holy Spirit for discernment…John 14:26
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
We have to WATCH….and WATCH and line up everything with scripture 1 Corinthians 16:13
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”
The most important thing to realise is we are in the end times , some christiand saying we are at 4 horsemen, others 5th horsemen and also we see that the rc church has been called the fals prophet from the beginning of its formation right through by all the saint commentaries, we had many antichrists but the one that going to rule in end times there is much speculation..just came across a video from this guy who is adamant for last few years its trump http://watchmanscry.com/
But at least we are watching and checking , but i feel a sadness for the pre-tribbers who are not watching and expect to be taken out before the ac turns up as they say we dont need to watch…they will be in for a shock when it doesent go the way they hoped, and many will fall away from the faith 2 Peter 3:17
“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”
Many Christrians in some parts of the world are already in Tribulation , many martyrd for the cause what makes thes christias in the west with all their delicies and riches think they will escape the coming storm…
Psalms 55:8
“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.” and we can only do that by being awake to satans devices
2 Corinthians 2:11
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

I don’t get why believers of Judaism don’t get Jesus
Seems the “Divide and Conquer army” has been sent to the HugoTalks address.
To Jesus Christ; Our Saviour, there is No difference between Jews and Gentiles.
The New Covenant is for All who accept Him as Saviour….no matter what anybody believes.
The KJV bible is the go-to Source for Truth.
Hugo,
What’s your view on Matt 25, 1 – 13 the wise and foolish virgins? It concludes with, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh”. I’ve always taken it to mean waiting for the rapture, whether it’s pre, mid, or end of the Tribulation.
[St]upid ■ I thought they were; it is written and even if taught correctly, there are many who keep the lie; so my stand is this that they are liars.
REV 21:8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
REV 22:11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
KJV, blueletterbible com
I was thinking today about God being mocked. I spoke to a woman who sounded like the Mum in the life of Brian. So odd!! I was thinking is this mockery? Does God find it amusing. He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy etc. I think talent comes from God and they did expose the whole transgender thing. I dunno
Your videos are great. I don’t believe in “awakening movement”, all awakening and enlightening comes from within only through the help of the Holy Spirit. People who can and do appreciate you and your work have already started their journey and that’s why they can understand and feel sort of a connection with anybody carrying the truth. Those who can’t… can’t.
There other, older mentions of Jesus, which did not (quite) make it to the Old Testament… no surprisingly. The book of Enoch and 3rd Ezdra.
Best Regards
Very true I don’t listen to the news all fake I listen to God’s family that’s all I need I have no worries they give me peace and keep me calm take up KJV bible go in garden read watch the wild life ♥️ things growing by the hand of God ask and u will receive

2 Corinthians 3: But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”. Thank you Hugo. You’re becoming a mature Christian and helping others along the way.
Well done again. You are over the target. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” I have been conducting my own bible study on discernment the past few weeks. I have been looking at it from the point of view of a new Christian and how I would advise them so they are not easily led astray. Why? Because no one is immune. I, having been a Christian over 40 years, was almost led astray by delving into the book of Enoch but the Holy Spirit started throwing up red flags. Well the rabbit hole eventually led to meditation, new age religion, Kabballah, Enoch=Metatron=Yeshua=Jesus!!!! All stop! Reverse course! Ultimately, when I am presented with “new” wine, truth, concept, religion, etc. then I test it with 1 John 4, John 14:6 and Philippians 2:9-11. Whatever it is, it MUST testify and confess that JESUS CHRIST is the Lord. That JESUS CHRIST is the Son of the Living God, and He came to earth, in the flesh, and was sacrificed for our sins. That JESUS CHRIST is the only Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by JESUS CHRIST. Upon applying this test, if there is any hesitation, anger, hostility, argumentative debate…that should tell you what you need to know.
Hugo, my understanding of ‘Dispensationalism’ is of God ‘divorcing’ Israel and placing his favoured status on (western) Christians, especially those ‘born again’. I think this is pure anti-Semitism.
Dispensationalism is a modern man made theological framework of interpreting the Bible, it has zero anything to do with God.
Speaking of Deception, I would love to hear a Hugo Talks on one or more of these subjects. Last weekend I went to a friend’s house and they were watching the Netflix series Lucifer. So I sat down and watched for a bit and the devil’s name was Lucifer Morningstar. I said, “Pause that for a minute! Can I see your Bible?” I flipped to Revelation 22:16 where Jesus calls himself the Morning Star. Then turned to Isaiah 14:12 and discovered the NIV had removed Lucifer entirely and replaced it with Morning Star! So in essence, according to these 2 verses in the NIV, Jesus is the one who fell from heaven. What’s that all about? Anyway, I kept watching a few episodes of this Hollywood deception operation and according to them, Lucifer is the good guy and just misunderstood. God is the bad guy. The typical absentee father that abandoned his children. Also, you only go to hell if you feel guilty about the things you did on earth and if you just let go of the guilt you can free yourself from hell and go to heaven. This whole concept reminded me of Aleister Crowley’s religion, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”. You probably are aware that John Nelson Darby founded the Exclusive Brethren, but did you know that Aleister Crowley spent his formative years as a child in the Exclusive Brethren before leaving to ultimately create Thelema? Crowley and Thelema influenced Jack Parsons (JPL) and L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology). So in a way, Darby gave us the Exclusive Brethren, Dispensationalism, Thelema, Scientology…and what else? The Scofield Bible? I don’t know. Is it all a coincidence? That could be a Hugo Talks subject in and of itself. Anyway, your work is very interesting and gives me a lot to think about. Please don’t stop.
Very interesting about worshipping Mary:

ephesians 1:10 has dispensation in the KJV
the israel land deal covenant was with Abraham, the father of our faith, and was unconditional
burnt offerings started with Able
romans 11 talks about how great it will be when the whole ephesians 1 dispensation happens
it’s not deception
it’s in the Bible!
Isreal is going to get alot of trouble again, no doubt…the whole armageddon thing, the 3rd temple, the anti-christ etc…
but then they also have the 144 thousand evangalist and the two witnesses.
blinded so we gentiles can be saved.
just to clarify.
it’s all about saving Jews and gentiles. in their times. there’s a time for everything.
Thank God!
One more time
Dispensation and Dispensationalism mean two different things
Dispensation – exemption from a rule or usual requirement.
Dispensationalism – a man made constructed theological theory of interpreting the Bible.
The word Dispensation is in the Bible and it means what it means, The word Dispensationalism is NOT in the Bible.
Dispensationalism is about Division, in order to control how people perceive things. Divide and conquer people’s way of looking at the gospel. That is why so many psyops, hang from the concept of Dispensationalism.
Why continue the myth of separation and division. You want people to think the country of Israel is the same as the initial covenant, when it is not. You want to create a them and us scenario. when it doesn’t exist?
Hugo, let us talk frankly. Remember when we were all there at the Last Supper with our master Jesus Christ? He had just informed us that His time on earth had come to an end and that He would be leaving us soon. Well, as you can imagine, we were all quite distressed about this, but especially Thomas. You remember Thomas…born in Galilee to humble JEWISH parents. He was great guy. Asked a lot of question though. I’ll never forget how he asked Jesus, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how can we know the way?” It really blew me away when Jesus immediately responded, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me….except, of course, you Thomas. Being an upstanding Jew and all, you have a special Dispensation and a different covenant and a different timeline altogether, but everyone else comes through me.” I must admit, my memory isn’t what it used to be. I should probably go back and read John 14 again. Dispensationalism is bunk! Feel how heavy the flak is? You must be near the target. Keep up the good work. God bless you and keep you.
Bernard,
Good one, I would “like” but for some reason “liking” doesn’t work for me in Hugo’s site.
Bernard, Bernard, Bernard
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14, 1-6
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14, 15
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
John 14, 19-24
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15, 1-2
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the NEW TESTIMENT, WHICH IS SHED FOR THE MANY for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26, 26-28
22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Mark 14, 22-24
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
John 6, 53-58
Paul, Hebrew of Hebrews
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11, 11-13
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans 11, 16-25
So Bernard The Fathers will is to graft the righteous Gentiles into The Vine, do you argue with The Father?
PS
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
They were all Jews
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Exodus 12, 42-48
Why does everyone argue on here all the time?
Mike Good question!
It seems we have a couple on here (loccie being the main one) who just has to put the opinions of everyone else down that he/she/it/them/they thinks is “wrong”. He/she/it/them/they has a very obvious “holier than thou” attitude towards the comments of others.
It is a bit disgusting I agree.
Hi Hugo,
The word Dispensation as been around a long time, see below.
Dispensation can be translated to Hebrew as היתר, עידן, התר פטור, ברכה אפיפיורית, אישור מיוחד1. In the Bible, dispensation is translated as oikonomia, which means “administration (of a household or estate); specially, a (religious) ‘economy'”2. When the Bible is speaking from the viewpoint of the one who is in authority, dispensation is properly translated as “a plan” or “a plan of management”3. According to the Bible, the method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation4.
According to the Bible, the method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation
its God`s way of administration
Man may have twisted the meaning, but to a lot of preachers, its a way to describe God`s Plan. by dividing the word of God to make sense,
purpose and meaning.
For example God deals with King David differently to Moses, Jesus teaches His disciples differently to Paul`s teachings, if you don`t divide and look at the context, you end up applying all kinds of verses, to something that does not apply to you.
Just my thoughts, God Bless.
On the other hand Dispensationalism HAS NOT been around for a long time. This word was created in 1928. it has nothing to do with the use of the word Dispensation in the Bible.
Stop mixing Dispensation with Dispensationalism.
The word Terror is in the Bible, but Terrorism is not. They don’t mean the same thing.
Dispensationalism means a modern man made theological framework of interpreting the Bible,
Dispensation means a general state or ordering of things / a particular arrangement / a formal authorization
And Dispensation means simply what its supposed to mean in scripture, its got nothing to do with the man made theory of dispensationalism.
1 Corinthians 9:17
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
Ephesians 3:2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Colossians 1:25
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
I’m not one to be making wise assessments on the precise meanings of words that many people argue over. When trying to be discerning I alway think of Jesus saying ” I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through ME”. That’s all I need to know… everything else leads away for Our Father (God).
Hugo you stated, “Do you need to read the Bible to be saved? Technically, no.” I wanted to encourage you because doctrinally you are correct and it is a critical truth to comprehend. In fact, it is what distinguishes Christians apart from others. As you know, Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Salvation does not require works, baptism, bible study, a rabbi or confession to a priest. The proof of this was shown to us when our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. Recall the 2 thieves crucified with Jesus Christ. Luke 23 tells us, “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” The thief never made it down off of that cross to be baptized, read scriptures, give to the poor or anything else. Yet he was saved. That being said…once saved by grace, Christians should endeavor to, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” Also, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”
Bernard
You outline a serious confusion that is the difference between the lukewarm and the righteous.
You first have to understand what ‘works’ are being referred to Ephesians 2, and WHO Ephesians 2 is talking to, Pagans/Heathens/Gentiles who were never chosen and given the rules to live their lives by and build up a body of ‘good works’ (the root of the vine) and so gain salvation.
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 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:
Ephesians 2, 1–2
In fact they had been doomed to eternal death since Adam bought sin into the world because they HAD NO MEANS OF PUTTING THEMSELVES RIGHT, God himself chose another group of people.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5,12-13
Moses was given the means for the Jews to throw off their eternal death and gain salvation THE COMMANDMENTS, these were NEVER available to anyone else.
Until.
The RIGHTIOUS Gentiles came to the attention of God because of their good works WITHOUT a God given covenant but by pure faith, while most ‘Jews’ refused to accept Christ Jesus and give up the physical. God seeing this decided BY HIS OWN GRACE (grace is THE CHOICE OF GOD to change the rules because of our decisions in free will). God did his own ‘reset to zero’ making all equal in Christ Jesus; Christ Jesus taking all those accumulated sins of the doomed Gentiles onto himself while removing the PHYSICAL MARK of Gods family, (the physical circumcision) from ‘Jews’ which once made Jews superior to all men. The new covenant being SPIRITUAL and available to ALL. Thus giving those once doomed Gentiles the CHANCE of joining Gods family with The Spiritual Circumcision of The Heart while keeping clean through righteousness in The Commandments.
If God had kept the body of ‘good works’ built up and attached to the righteous Jews and tried to incorporate the righteous Gentiles only by pure faith, there would always be a way for the Jews to boast of their superior body of ‘good works’ that the Gentiles could NEVER have competed with. The Grace of God to give all RIGHTIOUS people the chance of salvation through a SPIRITUAL covenant of righteousness in The Commandments AND faith in Christ Jesus leading to The Circumcised Heart and salvation.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2, 8-9
The Bible id definitive in what will happen at the end times particularly after the 5th seal which occurs at the end of the first three and a half years.
God will take all the dead that died in PERFECTION, the saints, those that were tortured and died for refusing to give up Christ Jesus and kept The Commandments in their hearts. These saints will then wait under the alter for those few in total perfection that will also be killed in the same manner during tribulation, those to be joined to them, those that will make up the number the 144:000.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 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.
Revelation 6:9-11
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
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.
Revelation 2, 9-10
So what of those fully righteous left alive at the 5th seal?
Those fully righteous remnant of Jacob (Israel) will be led to a place of protection where the fully righteous Gentiles will be joined to them these people to complete The Church of Christ Jesus, these people held in protection from Tribulation.
1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Isaiah 14, 1-4
Unfortunately many delusional and lukewarm people will be left behind in the World during Tribulation. The test for those lukewarm in God will be how they behave during Tribulation. There will be people left alive after Tribulation, good and bad, first the dead will be judged according to their works from The Book of Life then those alive. Those lukewarm in God left alive after judgement will have a chance to learn from those fully righteous who make up The Church of Christ Jesus.
So what is the difference between the lukewarm and the fully righteous?
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14,12
So let us stop whining and do as we are told by God himself, follow ALL The Commandments and keep faith in Christ Jesus that he will be THE ONLY BREAD WE NEED and nothing else, even if we find ourselves within the World at Tribulation.
For those that are interested in discernment pay attention to Africa in connection to the war before the Lawless Man is reveled.
Well that’s quite a dissertation there. I prefer, like Hugo, to keep it simple (a point he made in the video) and was trying to encourage him, a new Christian, specifically. Satan is the author of confusion and deception and he is joyful when Christians fight, argue, debate and ultimately distract those who are seeking Jesus Christ (another point he was making). All I said was there is no priest or rabbi or works required to be initially saved. Jesus Christ is our High Priest and we can talk to him directly and be saved. He will intercede for us with the Father. Subsequently, we are to go out into the world, follow his commandments, live for Jesus Christ and spread the Good News.
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:26-27
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
simple enough?
Thank you, Hugo, your videos are so much appreciated.
Israel is the only country in the world that has its borders outlined in the Bible. It is not a construct of man, but God’s chosen land, His people, and where Jesus will return.
Like Israel itself, Hebrew is the only language recreated, is the only country ever reformed, and on the day prophesied in the Book of Daniel.
Your prophetic Bible texts are not in dispute, Hugo. They feature in Handel’s Messiah and countless other sacred choral works and are sung all the time in acknowledgement of Jesus in the sure and certain hope of salvation. Great work for which thanks.
Thanks for your informative talk about spiritual discernment and the need for Jesus to be our Saviour in order to be born again, and be sealed by God if we wish our names to be written in the Book of Eternal Life. I hear that the anti Christ purveyors of Artificial Intelligence are currently working on trans humanism (including animals) and eternal life. When Jesus was crucified He was ridiculed – they were not expecting their Messiah to be humble. By sacrificing His life for us in atonement for our sins, He was the Lamb of God. The majority of people in Israel are brought up to reject Jesus but not all and the Lord’s prayer in Aramaic is sung by many – Youtube ref The Lord’s prayer in Aramaic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4_O5MbctW4
The JWs obviously make known God’s name. They’re often referred to as a cult. Which means secret. Yet anyone is welcome at their meetings.
A little known fact. During WW2 the JWs were the only Christians in Germany to stand against against the Nazi regime. They were sent to concentration camps.
There is a inspired short film called Purple Triangles on their website at JW.org
JEHOVAH’S WITNESS
Slaves of the Watchtower Society
It seems Satan has no lack of ideas for counterfeits of the Church of Christ. The Watchtower Society is just another one. The central objective is to get you away from pure trust in Jesus. The Devil doesn’t care what he gets you into, as long as it isn’t a born-again fellowship.
This false religion provides a sense of belonging to an important cause and then keeps you so busy working for the Watchtower that you don’t have time to critically examine the unbiblical teaching and structure.
The Watchtower Society uses mind control to keep tight reign on their members.
Their Failed Prophecies Cast Doubt on All Watchtower Interpretations of Scripture

You’re so right in all you’ve said. A lot of people that are Witnesses are sincere people that want to please God. It’s so sad how they’re being mislead.
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 somewhere—not from the Bible—and 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.)
(Note: The fact that Mr. Darby died six years before Theosophy’s co-founder, 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. Most of these terms come straight out of Freemasonry as well.
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) http://users.ez2.net/nick29/theosophy/lessons04.htm
Darby and the Absolute
John Darby used the word, Absolute (with capitals to indicate a title) in 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 http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/NOTESCOM/42023_9E.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
“Vital Force, the force – the energy of life, that makes the difference between a dead and a living body.” http://hpathy.com/homeopathy-philosophy/the-vital-force-the-concept-of-resonance/
“A person is “really dead” when his vital force is totally diminished.” http://afrikaworld.net/afrel/atr-reincarnation.htm
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/Occultism-AB.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. http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/darby/DOCTRINE/29002E.html
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 blind-belief. 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/TheTempleOfKnowledge-2.html
Darby and the energy of faith
If God has shewn that He took notice of His servant’s fault, and did not pass it 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/01chap08/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/ephesians6.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.html)
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, Page 190. http://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
the 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
You mention the “Architect” which in Freemasonry is the GAOTU, the Great Architect of the Universe, who they exalt. We exalt God and the universe he made, because that is the natural universe. What if the architected ‘universe’ is simply the created deception that is the world? Satan is the god of this ‘world’, so would make sense.
JohnM, thank you for posting this. I have been trying to connect the dots between Darby and Theosophy and Thelema but it is a lot of work. So I appreciate your efforts here. You obviously know that Darby founded the Exclusive Brethren but I found it interesting that Aleister Crowley spent his formative years as a child in the Exclusive Brethren. Jack Parsons (JPL) and L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology) were both influenced by Thelema and Crowley’s teachings. So in a way, Darby gave us the Exclusive Brethren, Dispensationalism, Thelema, Scientology and who knows what else. I asked Hugo Talks to consider a talk on this subject.
Thanks Bernard there is so much stuff out there to check and double check, and a lot of misinformation , the more i find, the more pops up, its bewildering, we have to be as wise as serpents ,
Matthew 10:16
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
What i have also discovered is many christian information sites/ fellowships/pastors etc are not 100% right in everything and sometimes they have doctrines that are not Biblical, but up front are saying all the right buzz words and born again sermons etc…In the last days we will have tares and wheat in our true born again churches which will include pastors and deacons etc…what i have learned to do is look, listen and sift the message according to the BIBLE(KJB) at all times, if it doesent line up i cast it away..Like the Bearians Acts 17:11
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
so now i review and check everything (but even at that i can make mistakes as well) but depend on the Holy Spirit for discernment…John 14:26
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
We have to WATCH….and WATCH and line up everything with scripture 1 Corinthians 16:13
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”
The most important thing to realise is we are in the end times , some christiand saying we are at 4 horsemen, others 5th horsemen and also we see that the rc church has been called the fals prophet from the beginning of its formation right through by all the saint commentaries, we had many antichrists but the one that going to rule in end times there is much speculation..just came across a video from this guy who is adamant for last few years its trump

But at least we are watching and checking , but i feel a sadness for the pre-tribbers who are not watching and expect to be taken out before the ac turns up as they say we dont need to watch…they will be in for a shock when it doesent go the way they hoped, and many will fall away from the faith 2 Peter 3:17
“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”
Many Christrians in some parts of the world are already in Tribulation , many martyrd for the cause what makes thes christias in the west with all their delicies and riches think they will escape the coming storm…
Psalms 55:8
“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.” and we can only do that by being awake to satans devices
2 Corinthians 2:11
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
I don’t get why believers of Judaism don’t get Jesus
Seems the “Divide and Conquer army” has been sent to the HugoTalks address.
To Jesus Christ; Our Saviour, there is No difference between Jews and Gentiles.
The New Covenant is for All who accept Him as Saviour….no matter what anybody believes.
The KJV bible is the go-to Source for Truth.
Amen to that. Here is wisdom..
Thanks again Hugo, I like the way you keep it simple, just like Jesus did really. Onwards and Upwards, eh, Pete 🙂
Hugo,
What’s your view on Matt 25, 1 – 13 the wise and foolish virgins? It concludes with, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh”. I’ve always taken it to mean waiting for the rapture, whether it’s pre, mid, or end of the Tribulation.
