It may be because it is so early in the morning...but this doesn’t make sense to me...could you rephrase it?

On the other hand, it might be just saying that a reading of the 2Thess passage and the Apocalypse that did not exist before the early 19th century Plymouth Brethren intererpretations popularized by John Darby caught on in Britain and the USA is not true.

[ a reading of the 2Thess passage and the Apocalypse that did not exist before the early 19th century Plymouth Brethren intererpretations popularized by John Darby caught on in Britain and the USA ]

is not true.

See the links referenced in my original post for details of the origins of the novel “dispensational” reading of these Scripture passages. Too many shallow and careless readers imagine that their own reading is the only possible way to read the text. They end up making their interpretation canonical, and thus repeat the misteps of the pharisees, who made their traditions into divine writ.
