Last issue we visited the Cathedral of St John the Divine, seat of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. In the process we catalogued some of the tortured philosophical / religious connections held by that body as it wandered into full fledged heretical relationships with the New Age and the occult. We looked at some of its ‘prophetic’ architecture and noted its’ propinquity with one David Spangler – who is immersed in – and – convinced of – the truth of Luciferian doctrine. So that’s our jumping off point for PART III; the dark and purposeful program of the New Age.
A LUCIFERIAN AGENDA
“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (2Thessalonians 2:9-10)
The dark, occult-driven deception that is coming upon the earth is manifest in many forms. It is wrapped in the chaos of what is presented as a many-headed truth, with numerous paths that are said to all lead to the same place. Overlying that, it is covered with deception, often disguising the true intent and import of its actions. Thus, as we noted last week, the image of the Hindu goddess Kali is beamed onto the face of the Empire State Building. It is vaguely implied that this is a cultural thing with no religious significance. But we know that this is the face of a demon – and that has import. Then there is the matter of the 48 foot high reproductions of the portals of the Temple of Baal that were to be placed all around the globe, with the first ones heading to Time Square in New York City and London’s Trafalgar Square. These first two were to be erected on the 19th of April, exactly 13 days prior to Beltane on May 1st. This is the satanic high holiday of Beltane or “Baal fire,” a holiday easily traced back to the Baal worship present in the lands that surrounded ancient Israel.[i] And the sad fact of the matter is that whenever God’s People fell away from worshiping Him, they would almost immediately begin to take up the worship of this demonic presence in some name or form.
This was a most abominable form of worship. It involved the sacrificing of children to the god Molech, another name for Baal. There is a further connection to the date of April 19th, the day that had been scheduled for [ii] the erection of the Baal Arches. Joseph Spickard describes the connection.
“Incorporated closely with the Fertility rites and rituals are the Fire Worship rituals. So much so, that many think that they are one and the same. Sacrifice by fire is required by pagan, occult, and satanic elements on April 19. An emphasis on the sacrificial victims who are children or youth is made. ‘Passing through the fire’ to the fire god, Molech, in the Old Testament of the Bible, described children going through the ritual of fire worship and sacrifice. In this regard, the arms of the god Molech were operated mechanically beyond a veil or curtain in the back of the image by its priests. When a victim was selected or chosen from among those ‘passing through the fire,’ the child was placed on the supporting Molech outstretched hands, pulled over a pit of flame, and then the hands were shifted mechanically sideways, causing the child to fall and be consumed into the very hot pit furnace below. The child’s screams were muffled by the very low bass sound of drums and music instruments and the corresponding high pitch of tambourines and other music utensils to drown out its cries. This bass sound was exceeding low. This was to be called later, the ‘Devil’s chord.’”[iii]
We may see this as ancient, superstitious and barbaric but it seems to me there is little difference between these overt pagan practices and the sacrifice of over 58 million of our unborn children since Roe-v-Wade in 1973. Heads are crushed, bodies dismembered and brains vacuumed. But there may be something more to the timing of this Luciferian celebration. Just look at the tie-in to the very bloody day of April 19th and the entire period of the Beltane satanic holiday from that date until May 1st.
- April 19, 1993, the Waco, Texas massacre. US government forces attack the Branch Davidian cult on that day incinerating the group in their compound including over 20 children. Michael Snyder points out: “April 19 is a Satanic holy-day, requiring sacrifice by fire, most preferably involving the sacrifice of children.”
- April 19, 1995, Federal Building bombed in Oklahoma City killing 168. “Many of the victims are children, again following a pattern of Molech fire sacrifice.” (Joseph Spickard)
- April 19, 1943, Warsaw, Poland. Nazi troops use flame throwers to burn-alive Jewish Resistance fighters as they hid in a storm drain. [The Nazi connection to the occult is well documented. At one point before his rise to power, a coven conducted a ceremony in which the spirit of antichrist was called down into Hitler himself.]
Other events during this time period include the Columbine massacre, occurring April 20, 1999: the Gulf Oil Fire of April 20, 2010: – and Adolph Hitler’s ritual suicide which occurred at exactly 3:30 in the afternoon on April 30, 1945 – precisely timed to “enhance his immortality” by using an occult, numeric signature.[iv]
So this is significant because this entire period is a prolonged satanic celebration culminating on May1, Mayday. Snyder quotes Elliot Rodger from his 1995 book Circle of Intrigue. “According to the Satanic Calendar of High Holy Days, April 19 inaugurates a period of blood sacrifice to the Beast, culminating in the Grand Climax on May 1st each year. May 1st (May Day), of course, is celebrated in Red Square (note the color, red) in Moscow each year by a huge parade and spectacle. It was also on May 1, 1776 in Bavaria that Adam Weishaupt founded the Order of the Illuminati, and it was May 1st when the ancient Druids honored their great Sun God and Goddess with an uninhibited festival complete with initiations, sex orgies, drunken revelry, and human sacrifice.”[v]
So, many scholars believed that the erection of Baal’s arches would serve to put in place portals or entrance-ways through which the demonic presence could be called forth upon the earth. Revelation chapter 9 tells of just such an occurrence that will come. “Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.” (Revelation 9:1-3) And so just as occultists through the ages have sought to call forth demons and antichrist spirits, these arches may have been intended to do the same. But God………….
A Victory !
In a dramatic turn of events, the group that was going to erect the Baal Arches in New York and London, the Institute of Digital Archaeology has completely scrapped plans for an arch in Times Square – and switched from a Baalian arch in London to a Roman arch of triumph. Thus this anticipated celebration of Satanism is, at least for the moment postponed. And we note the prayers of God’s people and celebrate the mercy of God for these events. However, we may have only addressed the outward expression of the issue. Baal worship involved the sacrifice of children and wild and sometimes public sexual orgies. An American parallel can be found in the legal sanction of the killing of the unborn that has resulted in so many innocent deaths and the millions that are addicted to pornography. This alone points to the fact that it is repentance on a grand and national scale that is needed.[vi]
Another Dark Road
But no matter the temporary victories, we know that before Christ’s ultimate triumph, a time of trial is coming upon this planet that be will be greater than any ever-before experienced. Scripture tells us that there is a man coming who will be the embodiment of wickedness. He will exercise what the people of the world will see as real spiritual power…but it will be based in lies. This future ‘Christ’ poseur will amass a giant following among those who “did not receive the love of the truth.” It is a scary thing indeed! The New Age Religion poses as one that is tolerant and loving and accepting; an ideology that embraces all paths to God. The New Age is selling a Lie! It is a big Lie and to those that buy into it, it bequeaths the putrefaction of death, spiritual blindness…and eventual and certain destruction. Following are some of the lyrics of a song from my youth. It was popularized by a group called the Fifth Dimension. It’s called ‘The Age of Aquarius’ and it talks about the New Age that is dawning on planet earth – especially for the ‘spiritually enlightened’.
“When the moon is in the Seventh House – And Jupiter aligns with Mars – Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars – This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.”[vii]
Ah, what a picture of peace and love and goodwill! Ahh, what a vision of tolerance and acceptance. Ahhh, what a load of crap! Here’s one, Ted J Rucker, a New Age adherent explaining just how we are entering this New Age; this Age of Aquarius. “A great change is upon us, ‘the end of the world’ is the phrase used in the Bible. We have come to understand that this [is] not some vision or warning of a great, horrifying apocalypse, or even of Judgment Day. This great and ordered change in the energies available to us is the next step in humanity’s evolution. The Age of Pisces in which the great world Savior, Christ, arrived, will come to an end. With the arrival of the Aquarian Age, humanity begins its ‘entrance into heaven’ – the Spiritual Kingdom….[through] the fusion or blending of soul and form to produce the incarnate Christ in all.”[viii] You see, it is never enough for the New Age to present their own distorted version of reality. In the process they must without fail, adapt Christian language and distort the Truth of the Gospel message. So gone is the Apocalypse and Judgment Day…and in its place…well we should all just realize our own divinity.
So how are we to achieve this astounding transformation? Well it is through the good offices of ‘The Christ’. He will teach us to live in peace and harmony with each other. In addition he will establish a New World Order that will exercise global control over the economy – including food and water distribution. But if you’re thinking that these folks may be a little ‘uber-visionary’ but basically harmless: You would be wrong. They are a dangerous bunch indeed.
What the New Age Movement really is – is a global network of cooperating organizations engaged in setting up a New World Order. They are deeply steeped in the occult and connected to Freemasonry, Illuminism, Theosophy and a myriad network of darkly occult offshoots. The Movement can boast Black Magic witches and wiccans, shamans and witchdoctors – Hindus and Neo-Pagans among its adherents along with various and sundry fellow travelers. At its highest levels it seeks the Masonic Christ. The controlling element of this Movement is steeped in the higher degrees and doctrines of the Freemasons. Helena Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society, and her disciple Alice Bailey, wrote extensively regarding their goals. They both admittedly received their ‘enlightenment’ – their doctrine, from spirit beings. We know them as demons. It is clear that they – and the movement they guide – seeks the very destruction of all the monotheistic faiths; Islam, Judaism and Christianity.[ix] They mean to achieve their ends through any means necessary; even lethal violence, if necessary. The overriding goal is a world that gives allegiance in every facet – political, economic and religious – to the god of this world – Lord Satan. These are the words of David Spangler, Director of the Planetary Initiative for the United Nations, with his connection to the ‘Christian’ church, St John the Divine, speaking of our entry into the planned coming World Order: “No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.” That’s the quote that really got my attention. You see, they do teach a ‘Christ’. But it is one of their own making.
Who Is This Guy?
While the New Age Christ is most definitely ‘different things for different people’: We can probably draw a pretty accurate picture by looking at the beliefs of Theosophy and its offshoots. Theosophy was founded in 1875 by Madame Blavatsky, who leaned on her ‘spirit guides’ (demons) for esoteric wisdom. Ron Rhodes fleshes out the expected characteristics of this Christ-figure in his series: The Christ of the New Age Movement.
For one thing, he certainly is not the Jesus of the Gospels. In fact, he “fits nicely” with “Buddha, Krishna and other ‘holy men’. This Christ is broad-minded and nonjudgmental. He is a ‘Master’ among ‘Masters,’ who – with the others – is leading the human race into a New Age of “enlightenment and harmony.” To Blavatsky’s followers: He is a Supreme World Teacher. The Christ, however, is an Office rather than an individual. In fact, through the ages he has come in multiple incarnations. “These include “Buddha (in India), Hermes (in Egypt), Zoroaster (in Persia), Orpheus (in Greece), and Jesus (at the River Jordan, where the Christ came upon Jesus at His baptism).”[x] And Jesus’ death on the Cross, if accepted at all, should never be understood as serving for a payment for Man’s sins. You see, all of mankind can serve as an acceptable vessel for the Christ. We are all somehow ‘divine’. Theosophy teaches that “each human being evolves through seven planes of existence (the physical plane, the astral plane, the mental plane, etc.). Each plane a person evolves through brings him or her ever closer to union with the Absolute (God). Theosophists reason that this process can take a very long time, hence requiring innumerable reincarnations.”[xi]
Now it gets even stranger than that. Blavatsky’s disciple Alice Bailey, who took over the movement, taught that there is an evolutionary process going on here. Eventually, the Ascended Masters – those humans who had achieved that level of spiritual perfection in order to qualify – would draw so close to a spiritually evolving humanity that they will physically appear. A Christ figure will manifest itself when certain conditions are met. These include: “(1) catastrophic planetary conditions; (2) a spiritual awakening; and (3) a steadily mounting invocative prayer. This last condition involves use of The Great Invocation, a prayer which is intended to speed the reappearance of the Christ.” Thus Rhodes tells us that they believe that the “Second Coming will be a single Avatar” but also “mystically manifested in humanity.” Spangler explains: “Any old Christ will not do, not if we need to show that we have something better than the mainstream Christian traditions. It must be a cosmic Christ, a universal Christ, a New Age Christ.”[xii] This is not Jesus, the mystical Savior of the World, but rather a World Teacher. To the New Age mind he will be “a cosmic principle, a spiritual presence whose quality infuses and appears in various ways in all the religions and philosophies that uplift humanity and seek unity with spirit.”[xiii] [xiv]
And The Weird Gets Weirder
But that’s not the end of the strangeness. In order to go forward we’ve got to define something called the ‘Akashic Records’. The idea originated in India in 19th century Hindu thought. It kind of takes in the notion of ether-like substance that surrounds the earth and permeates the universe. Wikipedia describes it as “a term used in theosophy (and Anthroposophy) to describe a compendium of mystical knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These records are described as containing all knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos.”[xv] And now get this: You can only access this library of the mind of God through techniques like astral projection (out of body experiences), hypnosis – and other forms of demon-induced states. In this worldview, the Christ Consciousness left Jesus at the time of the Crucifixion and now resides in this ether that surrounds the earth. And so there is extant, one of those ‘other gospels’ of Christ, that purports to present a Jesus in line with those views. In 1908, Levi H Dowling wrote The Aquarian Age Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Piscean Age, a book he claims to have downloaded from the ether or Akashic Record. This Jesus imposter goes on like a full-fledged New Ager with Hindu overtones. The book is replete with the doctrine of reincarnation and the soul’s ‘journey back to God’. Jumping up to today we find the connection through our friend David Spangler, who believes that the New Age Christ is right now “incarnating into humanity from the etheric realm.”[xvi] [xvii] And so, in a very sick sense, he may be. Conditions are ripening for the entrance of Antichrist.
