Matthew 23 — D. Noakes Version

Saturday, 17 October 2015

The Lord Jesus has directed the Holy Spirit to say:

³⁷ Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Limited,^* Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Limited, who calls the police for those that are sent to you, how often would we have gathered your children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

³⁸ Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;

³⁹ for we say to you, you shall in no wise see Me henceforth until you say, Blessed be He that comes in the name of God.

* Plymouth Brethren (Exclusive Brethren) Christian Church Limited, a company registered at Chelwood House, Cox Lane, Chessington, United Kingdom. Companies House Reg. Number 08175944.

Why has this been said?

Since 1971 the man of God’s choice, Deryck Noakes, has been almost universally rejected. To reject him whom God has sent, is to reject God Himself (Luke 10 : 16).

During these 45 years, thousands of letters have been sent to persons worldwide and there has been no righteous response. Finally, when a letter sent to Bruce D. Hales in August 2012, with copies to responsible persons in England, bore no response, the Holy Spirit directed persons to go out in testimony in view of the Lord’s imminent coming. The testimony given below is by no means an exhaustive list, and many trips included newspaper advertisements and visits to meeting rooms. The response has been rejection and hatred.

• September 2012

  Robin Jurgens, Robert Pudney and Roger Pudney visited London and surrounding localites. The testimony was rejected by every person they spoke to, on the basis that these three brothers are in fellowship with Deryck Noakes.

• November 2012

  Roger Pudney, Gavin Eales and Jared Pudney visited persons in localities across the U.S.A.: Rochester, Knoxville, San Antonio, Detroit and Kalispell. The reponse from the Plymouth Brethren was to call the police in every city (except Knoxville) and to spare no cost in running to their lawyer, Matthew Kirtland of Fulbright & Jaworski (now Norton Rose Fulbright).

• July 2013

  Robert Pudney and Jared Pudney, on 31 July 2013, attempted to see whether the church in Harrow existed in an objective way. They attended a reading meeting, and afterwards spoke to Neil Purdom and Paddy Hayes. A letter, written by the assembly in Port Elizabeth to the assembly in Harrow, was given to these Harrow men as they refused to allow it to be read in the ‘assembly’ there. The Spirit was hindered by Neil Purdom rejecting their testimony. He claimed to do so “on behalf of the brethren.”

• August 2013

  Deryck Noakes and Gavin Eales visited Harrow on 13 August 2013 in grace, again, to see if the church in Harrow existed in an objective way. They were also rejected, threatened with legal action, and Deryck Noakes was treated in a despicable way by persons from Harrow.

  Struan Ker and Steve Jay attempted, and failed, to trick Deryck into signing a restraining order. Deryck told each of these two bastards, “There is no love in you.”

  Letter № 2 of 2013 Letter № 3 of 2013

• March/April 2014

  Roger Pudney and Jared Pudney visited Barbados because this is where the the departure from the truth started. They met a lying Derek Daniel, who made promises and then denied any knowledge of them.

• May 2014

  Deryck Noakes visited Barbados, and with him Ian Allen, Roger Pudney, Gavin Eales and Jadon Allen. Newspaper advertisements were placed appealing to persons to choose the Glad Tidings over against the UBT and its LSG’s. The response to this testimony was to call the police and threaten deportation. Nevertheless, charges were not and could not be pressed.

  During this visit, Struan Ker and Charles Kingston arrived from England, accosted Deryck in his car on a public road, and sent a letter threatening Deryck that they would ‘pursue legal action against you to the bitter end.’ View letter

• June 2014

  Jared Pudney and Javan Morley again visited Harrow, and presented a full testimony to Paddy Hayes, but he also rejected it. They were then trailed and spied on for many hours, before leaving England to go to Barbados.

  Upon arrival, they were denied entry to Barbados. There is clear evidence of interference with the Barbados Immigration Department by the ‘Closed Brethren’.

• October 2014

  Jadon Allen, Justin Pudney and Matthew Eales visited the U.S.A. and presented testimony to persons in New York, Baltimore and Chicago. This included a private meeting in Chicago with Dennis McAbery, Derrick Taylor, Doug Schmidt and Neil Schaumberg, who rejected the witness presented to them, and also repeatedly interfered with testimony in Chicago.

  These brothers were especially directed to testify in Chicago since that locality is responsible for allowing Bruce D. Hales, in their locality, to reject God’s sovereignty in beloved James Taylor Jr.

• December 2014

  Robert Pudney, Jared Pudney and Neiel Pudney visted Barbados and delivered a letter regarding commerce in the assembly to every possible household that was associated with the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

• May 2015

  Gavin Eales and Jadon Allen visited Harrow, Barnet and Winchester, England. Over and above personal testimony, a detailed letter addressing the ongoing wickness of the so-called ‘Harrow Judgment’ was posted to 1,000 households in the United Kingdom. A further letter addressed to Winchester was posted to all known responsible persons in that locality. The response to this testimony was a murderous spirit which was displayed by the members of the Plymouth Brethren ‘Christian’ Church.

• September/October 2015

  Deryck Noakes visited Barbados, and with him Gavin Eales, Roland Pudney and Anton Jurgens. An appeal to accept sovereignty was delivered to every possible household, and published in both the Nation and the Barbados Advocate.

  A full testimony was rendered both to ‘brethren’ and the police. Witness was made outside Niel’s, Clapham, and Peterkins meeting rooms by Deryck himself. The police were called numerous times on groundless charges, including the arrest of these four brothers under the accusations of Derek Daniel, Andrew Kelly, Graham Ward and Jeffrey Niles.

  Under the influence of Graham Ward, a senior police superindentant ‘severely charged them’ not to preach, threatened them with imprisonment, and then released them without charge. (Acts 4 : 18-19)

  The word of God is not bound! (2 Timothy 2 : 9)

It has become clear from the rejection of this faithful and patient testimony, that God is “no longer pleading with man” (Genesis 6 : 3). The Lord Jesus has directed the Holy Spirit to announce that He has left the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church desolate.

Therefore, on Saturday, 17 October 2015, this version of Matthew 23 was affixed to the public entrance of every ‘Closed Brethren’ meeting room in Barbados: Neil’s, Upton, Oistens, Peterkins, Clapham, Pine, Belmont, Jackson, Melrose, and Spooners Hill. View photograph

On Tuesday, 20 October 2015, this same pronouncement was published in the Daily Nation of Barbados. View advert

On the same day, this notice was also affixed to the public entrance of the P.B.C.C. meeting room at 265 The Ridgeway, Harrow, U.K. This is a meeting room where testimony has repeatedly been rejected.

On 4 November 2015, Jared Pudney rendered a testimony at the P.B.C.C. meeting room at 7730 Traders Lane, Indianapolis, U.S.A. This testimony was rejected in a cold and unbrotherly manner. A copy of this version of Matthew 23 was therefore posted on the gate of this meeting room too.

On 7 November 2015, Jared Pudney testified at the Barbados city meeting room at Neil’s. He drew attention to the seriousness of being in a position that Divine Persons have left desolate. The response was characterised by a mocking spirit.

On Lord’s day afternoon, 6 December 2015, testimony was again presented at the Neil’s meeting room in Barbados. Directed by the Spirit of God, Jadon Allen preached to them Deryck Noakes’ version of Matthew 23 and the rejection of grace that has led to it. This was done in the Lord’s Name, but solemnly their reaction was to “rush upon him” (Acts 7 : 57) – two vehicles leaving the meeting rode at him, one braking at the last moment, and a second continuing to hit him as he jumped from its path. The occupants of this vehicle expressed delight in their efforts.

You are responsible before God

Persons who have assumed a position of responsibility, and who have removed this warning or otherwise interfered with the testimony, bring blood-guiltiness upon their own head.

“When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.”

Ezekiel 33 : 8
