Let me add some history here.

The Brethren movement was launched surrounding the prophetic promises of the Lord's return. Both wings (later to split into open and closed sections) of the Brethren camp were represented at the Viscountess Powerscourt prophetic gatherings. Men of great learning were attracted to what was being revealed in His word in those gatherings. The Spirit of the Lord moved in many a heart made fertile by the socio-political climate of the day.

Those times were not too different from our upheavals in the 60's, which served to prep many a heart for truths well beyond the stale message of the day. Many were saved afresh and were enamored by talk of the signs of His return. Lindsay's book The Late Great Planet Earth, published at the height of the movement, had an effect upon many.
