Although the rainbow seems to be only a colored arc of light refracted through raindrops, to both Christians and New Agers it has a deep meaning.

According to the Bible, the rainbow is symbolic of God’s everlasting covenant that he would never again destroy the earth by a flood.

However, the New Age Movement uses rainbows to signify their building of the Rainbow Bridge (antahkarana) between man and Lucifer who, they say, is the over-soul.

New Agers place small rainbow decals on their automobiles and book stores as a signal to others in the Movement. Some people, of course, use the rainbow as a decoration, unaware of the growing popular acceptance of its occult meaning and the hidden dangers.

“It is the contention of this writer that for the first time in history there is a viable movement — the New Age Movement — that truly meets all the scriptural requirements for the antichrist and the political movement that will bring him on the world scene.

“It is further the position of the writer that this most likely is the great apostasy or ‘falling away’ spoken of by the Apostle Paul and that the antichrist’s appearance could be a very real event in our immediate future. ”

— Constance E. Cumbey

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

“For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:1-5, KJV).

Preface

Millions around the globe awoke to a great surprise on April 25, 1982. They opened their newspapers only to be greeted with full-page display ads brazenly proclaiming, “THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE.”

From Rome to Jerusalem, from Kuwait to Karachi and from New York to Los Angeles — in more than 20 major cities — newspaper readers blinked in shocked disbelief as they tried to digest this particular piece of “news” along with their breakfast.

The $500,000-plus ad campaign featured the following copy:

THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH . . . OF HUNGER, INJUSTICE, WAR.

IN ANSWER TO OUR CALL FOR HELP, AS WORLD TEACHER FOR ALL HUMANITY,

THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE.

HOW WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIM?

Look for a modern man concerned with modern problems — political, economic, and social. Since July, 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word — pointing the way out of our present crisis. We will recognize Him by His extraordinary spiritual potency, the universality of His viewpoint, and His love for all humanity. He comes not to judge but to aid and inspire.

WHO IS THE CHRIST?

Throughout history, humanity’s evolution has been guided by a group of enlightened men, the Masters of Wisdom. They have remained largely in the remote desert and mountain places of earth, working mainly through their disciples who live openly in the world. This message of the Christ’s reappearance has been given primarily by such a disciple trained for his task for over 20 years. At the center of this “Spiritual Hierarchy” stands the World Teacher, LORD MAITREYA, known by Christians as the CHRIST. And as Christians await the Second Coming, so the Jews await the MESSIAH, the Buddhists the FIFTH BUDDHA, the Moslems the IMAM MAHDI, and the Hindus await KRISHNA. These are all names for one individual. His presence in the world guarantees there will be no third World War.

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

“My task will be to show you how to live together peacefully as brothers. This is simpler than you imagine, My friends, for it requires only the acceptance of sharing.

“How can you be content with the modes within which you now live: when millions starve and die in squalor; when the rich parade their wealth before the poor; when each man is his neighbor’s enemy; when no man trusts his brother?

“Allow me to show you the way forward into a simpler life where no man lacks; where no two days are alike; where the Joy of Brotherhood manifests through all men.

“Take your brother’s need as the measure for your action and solve the problems of the world.”

He has not as yet declared His true status, and His location is known to only a very few disciples. One of these has announced that soon the Christ will acknowledge His identity and within the next two months will speak to humanity through a worldwide television and radio broadcast. His message will be heard inwardly, telepathically, by all people in their own language. From that time, with His help, we will build a new world.

WITHOUT SHARING THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE CAN BE NO PEACE; WITHOUT PEACE THERE CAN BE NO FUTURE.

The ads went on to list four information centers strategically scattered about the globe: Amsterdam, London, New York City and North Hollywood, California.

For myself, unfortunately, these ads came as no surprise. In fact they and the vast network of organizations behind them — known collectively as the New Age Movement — had been the source of a near obsession with me for all of the previous year. They should have come as little surprise to most of the Christian community either — had the all-toonumerous clues been observed.

The Age of Aquarius was at last arriving and it meant nothing pretty as far as the Judeo/Christian world was concerned. And that world well needed to be concerned. For sadly, apathy was the order of the day — an apathy that if not soon shaken would result in the New Agers’ long-awaited “New World Order.”

Hiding behind an aura of undeserved respectability, the New Age Movement has managed to actively recruit many unsuspecting Jews and Christians to work for their own destruction.

“THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE” ad campaign was preceded by an incredibly sophisticated public relations campaign including a worldwide speaking tour by one Benjamin Creme — an aging English esotericist who happened to be a disciple of several occult pioneers including Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey. Touring the globe since 1975, Creme had managed to win the support of influentials ranging from U.N. officials through Methodist Ministers; from Belgian nuns through Elizabeth Kubler-Ross; from the Hunger Project through holistic health leaders; and from mind-control trainers and trainees through astrologers. Clearly he was not out there on his own. The man’s audacity was justified by his broad base of support.

Creme’s front organization was the Tara Center — based in New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and London. Spin-off “transmission groups” were left behind in every city where Creme lectured. Even if Tara Center had been the only organization backing the so-called Christ, it might have been a legitimate source of concern. But Tara was’ not the only such organization. Also involved were religious leaders, including many Unity and Unitarian leaders, educators, cooperating New Age networking groups who turn their members out to submit themselves to Creme’s bizarre hypnotic powers, occultists of every shade and description, political activists, opportunists, and those who had a sincere and genuine concern for the world’s poor and labored under the mistaken impression that they were lending their support to a remedy for the world’s numerous wrongs. They were unsuspecting that they were supporting a movement that parallels Nazism in every grotesque detail, including a teaching that a “blood taint” rested on those of Jewish extraction and another being that of a planned new “super-race.”

Many did not know that this movement planned the eventual extermination and replacement of these very peoples they labored to help with a “new root race” and even the violent extermination of themselves should they persist in orthodox religious beliefs. And many, for certain, did not know that they were actively involved in the very same movement that was proud to claim Jim Jones as its own prior to his Guyana murder/ suicide fiasco.

And you may further be certain that many of these sincere but deluded people did not know that they were actively participating in a movement which gives Lucifer the status of a divinity and plans mass planetary Luciferic “initiations” for those wishing to enter this “New Age” alive.

Yet despite the naivete in a movement which traffics in ignorance and despair they were involved. They are often sucked in by good intentions and held in by sophisticated forms of mass hypnosis and mind control. Those participating in Creme’s lecture audiences as well as thousands upon thousands of New Age activities designed to program participants to unquestioningly accept this new “Christ,” were unwitting and unsuspecting victims in the largest, best financed con job this world has ever seen.

I did not discover the New Age Movement after learning of Tara Center and Benjamin Creme. Rather 1 discovered Creme while in the midst of an extensive researching of the intricate but huge New Age Movement — a movement that includes many thousands of organizations networking throughout every corner of our globe with the intent of bringing about a New World Order — an order that writes God out of the picture and deifies Lucifer, I am also not talking about what I found reading between the lines — although some of that, should desirably be done, as well. I am talking about what the leaders of this movement have set forth in cold print.

The danger to both Jews and Christians should not be underestimated. Benjamin Creme’s announcement of “Maitreya the Christ” is the culmination of over 100 years of meticulous planning and labor by those seeking this “Age of Aquarius.” They have garnered the support of some of the most powerful and influential individuals in the world. It is a fact that they will not and cannot be successful until God is ready for prophetic fulfillment. However, if God is ready, are you?

This book sets forth a small portion of my research findings. What will be difficult to fully convey is the sense of mounting horror I found while piecing this multitude of data together. It appears to culminate in a scheme both fulfilling the prophetic requirements for the antichrist as set forth in the Bible, and also matching Nazism down to use of swastikas. Frightening the material is. However, what should be kept in mind by the believer is the much more potent power generously bestowed upon us by our Lord — the latter rains which were to be even more abundant than the former. As Isaiah said, looking towards our own latter days:

“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose,

“It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

“Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

“Say to them that are of a fearful heart. Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you” (Isaiah 35:1-4, KJV).

The purpose of this book is to inform the unsuspecting of the events that may lie immediately ahead and of the persons and organizations helping to manipulate them. More importantly, it is about “strengthening the weak hands and confirming the feeble knees,” with the help of God, so that we “might be counted worthy” to stand the things that must come upon the earth if all is to be fulfilled as written.

Who is Lord Maitreya? Is he the antichrist? Is he already in the world today? Is he an ordinary man who is demonically possessed?

Only the insiders of the New Age Movement hierarchy know his true identity.

Maitreya is living somewhere. He eats. He sleeps. He paces the Floor. He studies world conditions. He knows his time is soon.

What do we know about Maitreya?

The full-page newspaper ads give us some clues. According to Tara Center, sponsor of the ads:

• He is a world teacher for all humanity.

• He is a modern man concerned with modern problems — political, economic and social.

• Since July of 1977 he has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country.

• He has extraordinary spiritual power.

• His location is known only to a very few of his disciples.

• He will soon announce his identity.

• He will communicate to all humanity through a worldwide radio and television broadcast.

• He plans to build a new world.

Exactly what does the name “Maitreya” mean?

Maitreya is supposed to be the fifth reincarnation of Buddha. The world’s Buddhists are already expecting Lord Maitreya to return to earth. So, the name was a very shrewd choice.

In order to appeal to Christians, New Agers say Maitreya is the Christ. For Moslems he is the Iman Mahdi. For Hindus he is Krishna.

Maitreya’s followers are now in the last stage of the New Age scheme to take the world for Lucifer.

Lucis Trust — formerly Lucifer Trust — ran ads in the Reader’s Digest, which displayed The Great Invocation to Maitreya.

The Great Invocation refers to The Plan. It says, “Let Light and Love and Power restore The Plan on Earth.”

What is The Plan?

It includes the installation of a New World “Messiah,” the implementation of a new world government and new world religion under Maitreya.

They have numerous political, social and economic goals, including the following:

• A universal credit card system.

• A world food authority which would control the world’s food supply.

• A universal tax.

• A universal draft.

But there is more to The Plan — they intend to utterly root out people who believe the Bible and worship God and to completely stamp out Christianity.

They have stated that they plan to outlaw all present religious practices and symbols of orthodox Jews and Christians. The Movement is working quickly and efficiently to execute its scheme to take control of the world for Maitreya.

New Agers have threatened violence and even extermination of Jews, Christians and Moslems who fail to cooperate with Maitreya and his new religion.

The Tara Centers are part of international networks involving tens of thousands of different organizations behind the New Age Movement and its false Christ. Creme describes it as being worldwide.

During an interview with Jack Kisling of the Denver Post, Creme discussed Maitreya. Kisling gives this account:

“Benjamin Creme . . . told me . . . that not only has The Christ been back on earth since July of 1977, but that sometime in the next eight or nine weeks he will reveal himself in a worldwide ‘day of declaration,’ at which time the millennium will have dawned. … He explained that by The Christ he means not Jesus Christ, but the Master of Wisdom of whom Jesus and such other spiritual leaders as Mohammed, Brahma and Krishna are disciples. . . . Asked what will happen after the great galvanic day, Creme said progress will be slow but steady. World needs and world resources will be reassessed and redistributed and the groundwork for a single global religion will be started and probably flower fully within 20 years.

” ‘Won’t the advent of a single world religion annoy the hierarchies of all the current orthodox religions?’ I asked.

” ‘More than that,’ he said with a smile. ‘They will be shocked. I daresay they will be among the last to accept the Christ.’ ” . But, according to Kisling, Creme said confidently, “It will come, anyway, because it must. We will begin to live,’ he said … ‘as potential gods.’ ”

The Club of Rome is another very prominent New Age organization. It has drawn up the blueprints for a new world order.

How could this ever happen? What conditions must emerge to pave the way for a world takeover by the antichrist, or Lord Maitreya or anyone else?

Interestingly enough, in The Aquarian Conspiracy, Marilyn Ferguson comes flat out and makes an admission that the purpose of the LSD circulation in this country was to get people open, to get their channels open so they would have what she called a “religious experience.” But this is nothing more than possession.

Another New Age leader is David Spangler who is right at the top of Planetary Citizens which is the Secretariat for Planetary Initiative.

Spangler says that in order to enter the New Age we must take a Luciferic initiation. He says we’re heading into a vast planetary initiation, a mass initiation of people.

They intend to give us our mark or number in that Luciferic initiation ceremony.

No wonder God told us if we take the mark, we go to hell — no “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts” about it. It is literally a choice between God and Lucifer.

You will have to pledge loyalty to Lucifer or Maitreya to get a permit to do business in the New Age.

We also note another distinguishing characteristic of the New Age Movement — the 666.

Within the Movement there is extensive usage of the numerals 666. I have noticed the 666 in various books by David Spangler. One example is a little booklet called Love Is by The New Troubadours and published by the Findhorn Foundation. There are numerous triple six formations worked into the pictures in the book.

New Agers consider the 666 a sacred number.

Those who so freely use the numbers 666 honestly believe they are sending signals to outer space, or to what they call the superior intelligences which they believe inhabit our planet. They are asking those superior intelligences to come in and bring a new advanced civilization.

They believe that the more times and the more places that the numerals 666 are used the quicker that new civilization will come.

The Bible teaches that Satan will try to deceive the very elect of God.

When Maitreya goes public yet another imposter will come forward saying, “I am the Master Jesus.”

This Master Jesus will say: “Now all you Christians and all you church members, you come forward and worship Lord Maitreya.”

Actually, the New Age Movement correlates many of its aims with Bible prophecy. A letter from an organization called “Mission of Maitreya” from Albuquerque, New Mexico, contains the following statement:

“The word Maitreya has always been associated with messiah, who will come to unify the world and synthesize all religions under one banner. This expectation is now fulfilled. Known to Christians and Jews as the Messiah, Buddhists and Hindus as Maitreya and Moslems as Mahdi or Mohammed. Maitreya is called by all these names. The names Maitreya, Messiah and Mohammed are given to him; he did not call himself by these names, so besides other prophecies, the prophecy that ‘many shall come in my name’ would be fulfilled.”

They say that all the prophecies Jesus made concerning those that would come in his name are now fulfilled. Jesus said, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:5).

Although the full-page newspaper ads said Maitreya would soon appear, he has not done so yet.

This worries me. For it could cause many Christians to develop a false sense of confidence over the fact that he has not yet appeared.

The average false Christ — and there have been many — is not bashful. He comes out, collects his followers, his accolades, and especially the money. Then, he lives like a king.

The real antichrist cannot appear until the Lord permits it. And I believe the Lord will not let it happen until his people are fully warned.

Everyone will know when Jesus comes to earth again. It will be as clear as a flash of lightning in the sky.

I believe the New Agers will attempt to give the impression to Christians that the emergence of Maitreya is actually the return of Christ.

Revelation 13:13-15 is an interesting prophecy. It says:

“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the

24 The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow

sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and did live.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

That prophecy puzzled me until I studied the New Age Movement in depth. I have learned that the Movement has devoted a great deal of research and attention to the use of holographic images. These are three-dimensional images created in space by use of laser beams.

David Spangler said in a meeting in Southf ield, Michigan, February 1, 1982, that laser beam projectors had been installed for use on top of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Episcopal, in New York City.

1 talked to lighting experts to see what laser beam projectors are capable of and I was told they can be beamed onto telecommunication satellites.

The New Agers have several of these at their disposal. When the lasers bounce from the satellite back to earth, the light rays can be bent in such a manner as to appear that flames are coming from the sky. These satellites can also be used to project a three-dimensional holographic image viewable by up to one-third of the earth’s population.

There is even technology to make the image speak in the language of the areas to which it is beamed. Of course, we also know that lasers can be used as weapons.

New Agers deify Lucifer and that is the worship of devils.

Through transmissions to Benjamin Creme, Maitreya has claimed that Jesus is one of his disciples. This can be documented in Creme’s books. The Reappearance of Christ, and The Masters of Wisdom.

How widespread is this New Age Movement? According to Marilyn Ferguson and other New Age sources, they are in every city and institution in the world.

Their people are in the United Nations, prominent scientific, legal and medical circles and even at the congressional and cabinet levels of the United States government.

Christians should remember that the motive behind the New Age Movement is Lucifer’s desire to be worshipped as God.

Maitreya, if he is indeed the antichrist, will be worshipped. As Satan possesses Maitreya, he in turn will receive that worship he has sought since he was expelled from heaven.

Although I had a strong biblical background as a child, I must confess that, like many of my peers, I paid scant attention to end-time prophecies in my adult years. This changed for me when I began to notice a profusion of materials in bookstores, both religious and secular, containing similar unique vocabularies and an apparent political platform.

Many of the books also contained postcards enabling one to obtain additional information, an old political organizer’s trick to help compile a mailing list of sympathizers. I thought the proposals — even those appearing on Christian bookstore shelves — appeared suspiciously similar to what is described in Revelation 13:16-17:

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

These books, even the Christian ones, were calling for a New World Order with an accompanying global food redistribution program — aided of course, by modern technology, i.e., computers. This startled me, for even during my “wilderness years” I had retained an opinion that for a system such as that described in Revelation to come into being, it would necessarily require computer implementation.

I also understood, even as a child, that Christians were to resist this system with every ounce of their being. Therefore, I was particularly startled when I found one such book, by a Baptist writer, that told Christians they must champion this New World Order even if it meant imprisonment!

Many of these books either openly advocated Eastern religions or told Christians we had much in common with their essentials.

The vocabularies included such New Age “buzz” words as holistic, Spaceship Earth, Global Village, celebration/celebrative, transformation, crowded planet, paradigm, right brain/left brain/whole brain, matrix , linear thinking dualistk, mechanistic, global thread, new vision, initiation, interdependent, new age, etc.

Since childhood I had been familiar with Paul’s Thessalonian prophecies regarding end-time events:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

“That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, that the day of Christ is at hand.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasy] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” {II Thessalonians 2:1-3, KJV).

Reviewing these New Age materials, I faced a growing and troubling certainty that what I was witnessing was indeed apostasy in the fullest sense of the word. My belief was strengthened by the fact that I found these neo-gnostic beliefs even in Fundamentalist publications, not to mention their widespread infestation of mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic publications.

What is apostasy? The scriptures are clear:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, KJV).

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” {I John 4:3, KJV).

Many of these same books — particularly the mainline Protestant ones — stated that we could worship God and call him by names such as Buddha, Tao, Shiva and a variety of other pagan monikers.

Of course, this is a clear violation of Isaiah 42:8:

“I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”

Further, we are scripturally admonished that they who worship idols worship demons, a warning evidently conveniently forgotten by far too many “modern” theologians:

“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing!

“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils” (I Corinthians 10:19-21, KJV).

But now I faced a situation where respected theologians were telling us we could partake of both tables. Was it a case of “evolved theology”7 Or was it a case of apostasy? I strongly suspected it was the latter.

A theologian I am not, but the Lord did see fit to bless me with a fair amount of common sense and a legal education. From both standpoints — common sense and logic — this appeared to be apostasy in the clearest sense of the word.

Another thing I noticed was that the New Age books containing this exotic new theology had a vocabulary very similar to the books calling for the New World Order. I suspected a connection.

The pieces of the puzzle were still falling together when I chanced upon The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson. This book contains the same unique vocabulary as that of the others.

The author herself has great insight into this Movement and her book carries the message that radical change is upon all of us. She said:

“A leaderless but powerful network is working to bring about radical change in the United States. Its members have broken with certain key elements of Western thought, and they may even have broken continuity with history.” 1

So they had broken with certain elements of Western thought! I wondered which ones. A hint appeared in the next paragraph:

“… But whose perspective sounds so mystical that they hesitate to discuss it.”

I turned to the section on “Spiritual Adventure.” There I learned what they have broken with is exactly what I suspected based upon my collection of curios acquired from religious bookstores: orthodox religion! Mystical experiences and “experiential religion” were the new order of the day.

She noted that there has been alarm expressed in religious circles over the new spiritual mentality:

“Not unexpectedly, some religious groups see the emergent spiritual tradition as a fearful threat to the Judeo-Christian tradition. The fundamental Berkeley Christian Coalition, sponsor of the Spiritual Counterfeits Project, devoted its August 1978 journal to this threat.” 2

I was relieved to see that somebody had shown some alarm. If the churches were not alarmed, they should be! How big is this Movement? Again, clues are given:

‘The Aquarian Conspiracy, Marilyn Ferguson, p. 23. ‘Ibid. , p. 369.

“They have coalesced into small groups in every town and institution. They have formed what one called ‘national non-organizations.’ Some conspirators are keenly aware of the national, even international, scope of the movement and are active in linking others.” 3

And, the Movement has widespread, powerful influencel She says so!

“There are legions of conspirators. They are in corporations, universities and hospitals, on the faculties of public schools, in factories and doctors’ offices* in state and federal agencies, on city councils and the White House staff, in state legislatures, in volunteer organizations, in virtually all arenas of policy-making in the country.

“Whatever their station or sophistication, the conspirators are linked. . . .*

“In bureaucracies, in every corner of government, human beings conspire for change. An Aquarian Conspirator at the cabinet level of the United States government helped foster departmental change by setting up staff workshops in human development, saying, ‘If you want to change bureaucracies, you have to first change bureau

The book liberally boasted of widespread infiltration at every level of society. I was not so sure it was the “benign conspiracy” she represented it to be.

Another important clue to the nature of this conspiracy was found in the chapter on “Spiritual Adventure.” There she quoted from The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. I decided to locate that source document for myself and the next day purchased a copy from a local religious bookstore.

Reading The Aquarian Gospel, I was in for new shocks. I read on page 16:

‘Ibid., p. 24. ‘Ibid., p. 24. ‘Ibid., p. 235.
“In the infinite One manifest we note the attributes of Force, Intelligence and Love, and a person may be in full accord with one of these attributes and not with the others. One may enter fully into the spirit of the God of Force. …”

A strange bell was rung for me by this particular passage. I opened my King James Bible and read Daniel 11:38:

“But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.”

On page 14 in the introduction of The Aquarian Gospel I read:

“Jesus was not always Christ. Jesus won his Christship by a strenuous life, and in . . . chapter 55, we have a record of the events of his christing, or receiving the degree Christ. . . .

“We recognize the facts that Jesus was man and that Christ was God. …”

Again I looked at my Bible:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, KJV).

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that SPIRIT of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” (I John 4:3, KJV).

I could hardly believe my eyes. I had discovered two major tests of the antichrist in The Aquarian Gospel introduction alone. I read on through chapter 14 where I discovered an alleged colloquy between John the Baptist and his pagan “master.” John asked why any new sacred books Would be needed.

He was told, in part:

“And so the Holy Ones have judged; when men have needed added light, a master soul has come to earth to give that light. Before the Vedic days the world had many sacred books to light the way; and when man needed greater light, the Vedas, the Avesta and the books of Tao Great appeared to show the way to greater heights. And in the proper place the Hebrew Bible, with its Law, its Prophets and its Psalms, appeared for man’s enlightenment. But years have passed and men have need of greater light. And now the Day Star from on high begins to shine; and Jesus is the flesh-made messenger to show that light to men. … But in the ages yet to come, man will attain to greater heights, and lights still more intense will come. AND THEN, AT LAST, A MIGHTY MASTER SOUL WILL COME TO EARTH TO LIGHT THE WAY UP TO THE THRONE OF PERFECT MAN.” 6

Now I knew for sure that I was encountering a direct satanic prophecy of his own chosen messenger to men — the antichrist! I was sure that I needed to learn more of this socalled “Age of Aquarius” or “Aquarian Conspiracy” and I needed to do so quickly.

Lack of the proper reference label stymied my efforts for a short while. Then I received a major break. At a political party for a local candidate, I heard a woman I had known for 14 years address the crowd. She told us that she had been a student of the “mind sciences” for the past 20 years.

Marilyn Ferguson had said that the “conspirators” communicated by code words and signals; and from the little reading I had done, I was certain that “mind science” was one of the words.

Approaching the woman cautiously but amiably, I mentioned that I had had an interest in the “mind sciences” since reading Psychocybemetics years before. When I suggested that we discuss the subject over dinner, she agreed.

We adjourned to a nearby delicatessen. There she told me

“Ibid., p. 48, emphasis added.

that the mind sciences are part of the “New Age Movement/’ also known as the ” Age of Aquarius, ” “Aquarian Conspiracy/’ “Human Potential Movement,” ” Holistic Movement/’ “Humanistic Psychology” and by several other but lesser important names as well.

She said they believe that the mind operates on principles just as the body does, and that it is necessary to know the principles if one wants the mind to work efficiently.

She gave several of these “principles,” but only one truly caught my attention. That was the one she cited as the most important: karma. Admitting that it has something to do with Eastern religions, she insisted that it is much larger than the Eastern religions!

I told her I had read The Aquarian Conspiracy. Growing cautious, she said that book was not an accurate representation of the New Age Movement. Unwilling to reveal my suspicions of the Movement as yet, I told her I had enjoyed the book and innocently asked what was wrong with it. Much to my dismay, she told me that the New Age Movement was far larger than that book portrayed it as being. That worried me, for Ms. Ferguson had described the Movement as being so large that it had kept me awake worrying several nights.

I had heard enough! It was time to share my true feelings with her. I explained that my research combined with Bible studies had convinced me that this was the Movement of the antichrist. To my surprise she agreed. I showed her Daniel 11:38 relating to the God of Forces and the parallel passage in The Aquarian Gospel.

Complimenting me on my perceptiveness, she told me that I should also remember that in the New Age Movement as well as at Unity, which is a part of the Movement, they believe Jesus and the Christ are two distinct entities. I answered by showing her I John 2:22, which declares that particular teaching to be a mark of the spirit of antichrist.

Quickly perceiving that: (a) I did not wish to join the Movement; and (b) she had already told me far too much, she said it was difficult to converse with me because she had received “a vision of light” — a phenomenon many New Agers seem to have in common. She suggested I pray for wisdom to help me see the “hidden meaning” of those Bible passages.

Sharing with her a rule of construction for lawyers that I felt to be just as applicable to Bible research, I told her that the plainest meaning fitting the facts should be the one to govern.

She suggested that I familiarize myself with the history of how the Bible was written as well as how contradictory it was. I replied that I found nothing contradictory or illogical about it, and asked her if she had read the Bible all the way through. She said she had not because it might tend to confuse her. I suggested it would be logical to know its contents before offering criticism of it.

Our food arrived and we concentrated on eating for a few minutes.

Then to my surprise I heard her say: “It’s just not right — not right. That book should not be allowed! It’s too misleading!”

Unable to believe my ears, I asked what book she was referring to and she exclaimed: “The Bible!”

I asked her why she would say something like that and she replied: “The antichrist is not the negative thing the Bible’s made him out to be!”

That statement literally changed the course of my life, causing me to lay aside my law practice and concentrate on researching and exposing the New Age Movement. If indeed there is a movement afoot that is larger than Eastern religions and larger than the gargantuan enterprise described in The Aquarian Conspiracy, then we need to expose it for what it is!

The Christian world — myself included — has been blissfully asleep for far too long. It is time that somebody sounds the alarm — awaking sleeping Christians to this Movement and warning innocent participants to come out of it.

The book of Daniel predicts that there will be those in the last days who will give such warnings:

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

“And they that understand among the people shall instruct many . . .” (Daniel 11:32-33, KJV).

This book is my attempt to assist in delivering this warning — “to come out of her” before it is too late for us and our children.

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him.

“That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (II Thessalonians 2:2-3, KjV).

For nearly two thousand years, Christians have cherished the idea of the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ. In each new generation, believers have nourished the hope within their hearts that perhaps they would be alive when Christ returns.

The generation of the Apostle Paul’s time was no exception. Therefore, Paul found it necessary in his Second Epistle to the Thessalonians to clarify end-time events for this congregation. He did this so that they would be encouraged to continue to work diligently and wait patiently for the return of Jesus.

Nineteenth-century America was also no exception. The early Adventist movement founded by William Miller experienced the “great disappointments” of 1843 and 1844. That movement was based upon the premise that the “Great Falling Away” or apostasy of Thessalonians had already occurred between the era of Constantine and the Reformation during a 1,260-year period. This “apostasy” would reveal the “Man of Perdition,” whom they believed to be the Catholic pope. Therefore, the Millerites and similar religious movements, which have influenced the Church of God and the Seventh Day Adventist Church of today, lived in confidence that the imminent return of the Lord was near.

Many other Protestant movements similarly believed these prophecies met fulfillment in the Pope of Rome. Yet it seemed clear that the Old Testament prophecies regarding restoration of Israel to the Holy Land remained unfulfilled.

Interpreting this prophecy to mean a “spiritual Israel” rather than political Israel, the Adventists felt that all prophecies were fulfilled except for the “Great Commission” — the command to preach the gospel to all nations. They set themselves to the task of preaching this Adventist gospel of salvation to all, in hopes that this would bring about the imminent return of the Lord — a not unworthy objective!

With the physical and political restoration of Israel to the Holy Land in 1948 and her subsequent land gains in 1967 and 1973, the Adventist excitement quickly spread to other Protestant churches as well as among Roman Catholic prophecy enthusiasts.

Eschatology differences, as well as other doctrinal differences, however, continued to divide Christian denominations, resulting in name-calling on every side. Evangelical Christians of the non-dispensational persuasion fought Evangelicals who were dispensationally oriented. Mainline Protestants looked down on Evangelicals. Baptists took every opportunity to snipe at Charismatics, some of whom, in turn, questioned the salvation of all who failed to obtain the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. The Roman Catholics took nearly every available opportunity to proclaim eternal hell fire for Protestants, while those Protestants, in their turn, proclaimed there would be even greater heat for Catholics.

What nearly every “Christian” name-caller overlooked were the plain and simple biblical specifications of the spirit of antichrist and the fact that a Movement meeting these specifications was growing under their noses and even influencing their churches.

The Apostle John told us:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

“By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

“And every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world” (I John 4:1-3, NASB).

From this we know that we may expect the actual antichrist to deny that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. We would expect him to say, for example, that Jesus was an ordinary man who merely had the “Christ Consciousness” come upon him. This was clarified by John in a later epistle:

‘Tor many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist” (II John 7, NASB).

Furthermore, the antichrist would actually deny that Jesus was the Christ:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, KJV).

Clearly, if we are to be in a position to recognize the true “spirit of antichrist” and antichrist when he actually appears, we must be careful to adhere strictly to scriptural specifications, or face the awesome penalties that the same John outlined in the book of Revelation:

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” {Revelation 22:18-19, KJV).

In this Twentieth Century evidences of this “spirit of antichrist” are everywhere, probably even more than when the Apostle John wrote his letters. Not only is that “spirit” diligently at work among us today, it is quite likely that so is the antichrist himself.

It is the contention of this writer that for the first time since John penned his words, there is a viable movement — the New Age Movement — that truly meets the scriptural requirements for the antichrist and the political movement that will bring him on the world scene.

It is further the position of the writer that this most likely is the great apostasy or “falling away” spoken of by the Apostle Paul and that the antichrist’s appearance could be a very real event in our immediate future.

It is further contended, contrary to past Christian thought, that this Movement has infiltrated all of Christianity, as well as Judaism, sneaking in the side door of our institutions. It has taken the form of Easternization of our churches, successfully permeating even Evangelical denominations. It is blatant among Roman Catholics and mainline Protestant denominations — particularly Episcopalians and United Methodists.

While Christians have been successfully diverted by the enemy into mutual accusations of each other being the “antichrist” or “satanic,” the Old Deceiver himself has moved in the guise of promoting “true ecumenism.” He encourages the fostering of Eastern religious values in first our cultural setting, then our seminaries, by subverting 2,000-year-long Judeo/ Christian doctrinal traditions taught there to an acceptance of “pluralism” and attacks on God’s Word and its translations.

40 The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow

Christian seminary students are now widely and commonly told that to truly worship God, we must “do theology” instead of “parroting old theology written for another age, another continent, and another culture.” They are told that such “doing of theology” could well include finding Christ in the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran, the Vedas, the Upanishads and a variety of other Eastern, Hindu-based scriptures. They are told they may do honor to our Lord by calling him “Buddha,” “Shiva,” “Tao,” “The Great Spirit” and by other pagan monikers.

This Movement has further infiltrated our society as well as our churches by using vehicles such as Holistic Health Centers, Montessori schools, Waldorf education, Transcendental Meditation (TM), mind-control courses, hunger projects. Whole Earth catalogs, many health food stores and vegetarian restaurants, disarmament campaigns, and nearly every other social cause, including animal liberation!

Make no mistake about it! The New Age Movement is a religion complete with its own Bibles, prayers and mantras, Vatican City/Jerusalem equivalents, priests and gurus, born-again experiences (they call it “rebirthing”), spiritual laws and commandments, psychics and “prophets” and nearly every other indicia of a religion.

Their version of the Ten Commandments is fascinating to say the least. They claim there is no such thing as murder or adultery. If one is murdered it is either happening because he wanted it to happen or because his bad “karma” was being worked out for him.

While their theology is obfuscated in deliberate gobbledy-gook, it is not complicated. A Christian may read the main tenets in the third chapter of the book of Genesis. Basically they involve (1) an attack on the authority of God’s Word; (2) a denial that one will die (reincarnation); (3) a claim that man can be as a god himself; and (4) a deification of Lucifer and other demonic entities (the Masters of Wisdom theorv).

The universal proclamation of the Movement is that man is God and “Man created God in his own image.” The Movement worships pagan deities from Pan to Buddha and Shiva. They even worship Lucifer himself.

The political goals of the Movement include a mandatory New World Religion, establishment of a “universal credit card” system, establishment of a World Food Authority, World Health Authority, World Water Authority, etc.; establishment of a universal tax and a universal draft which is truly universal — everybody is eligible, worldwide!

The Movement is not new. Neither is it a passing fad. Sadly, most of its participants are innocently involved. Many are under the influence of sophisticated forms of mind control.

The Mein Kampfs of the Movement are numerous and becoming daily less subtle about its intentions. Disciples of the Movement speak proudly of having received a “vision of light.” Many openly speak of their planned welcome for the antichrist or “New Age Christ.”

As was indicated earlier the Movement was even bold enough to run full-page newspaper ads proclaiming “THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE.” They openly deny that Jesus is the Christ and instead proclaim the deity of a “Maitreya the Christ” and that Jesus is his disciple! They openly worship a “God of Force” and “forces.” Characterized by common mystical experiences, many of their number possess a plethora of psychic powers enabling them to indeed show “great signs and wonders” ranging from astral travel to psychic predictions.

Many among their number encourage the internal undermining of nations and they proudly proclaim the “subversiveness” of their Movement as if such a designation were a badge of honor. While they call for the division of large federated nation states such as Canada and the United States, at the same time they call for institution of a Planetary Guidance System or other form of world government. While they promote simple life-styles, at the same time they call for

the interconnection of the entire world by incrediblysophisticated computers with snooping capacities that are Orwellian in scope.

It is a Movement that meets the test of prophecy as well as the tests of Hitler’s National Socialism (Nazism). It is a Movement that has seen the deception of many — including many of its own who participate for the finest of motives.

Clearly, if we have such a movement that meets the biblical specifications of the antichrist, existing simultaneously in history with the fulfillment of other end-time prophecies such as those regarding the restoration of Israel, then Christians and indeed not just Christians, but all who seek the truth and have concerns for our future, should take a very careful look at that Movement.

The succeeding chapters will give you considerable information about this Movement necessary to assist you and your friends and family from being unwittingly sucked into Satan’s master plan. Because of the limited size of this first edition, everything relevant about the Movement will not be included.

For example, I have had many requests to compile a listing of organizations. There is no need for me to do so because the New Agers have done an excellent job of this themselves. A limited bibliography is included that lists some of the recommended reference works for this purpose.

Above all, I commend to you the words of Jesus Christ in Luke 21:29-36:

“Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

“When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

“Verily I say unto you. This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

“For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

A vast organizational network today, the New Age Movement received its modern start in 1875 with the founding of the Theosophical Society by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. A basic teaching of this organization was that all world religions had “common truths” that transcended potential differences.

Strongly propounding the theory of evolution, they also believed in the existence of “masters” who were either spirit beings or fortunate men more highly “evolved” than the common herd. This was a doctrine which was to have a substantial impact on the development of Hitler’s Nazism several decades later.

Madame Blavatsky worked in “telepathic communication/’ serving as a “fulcrum” for the masters starting in 1867 and continuing until her death in 1891. Achieving “illumination” or enlightenment was one of the Theosophists’ goals. And that meant more than mere light bulbs to at least one of their more famous initiates — Thomas Alva Edison, who joined the organization and signed its pledge of secrecy in 1878!

Through the Theosophical Society, the budding Movement demonstrated hostility to Christianity from its beginning. In 1875 Helena Blavatsky wrote in her scrapbook:

“The Christians and scientists must be made to respect their Indian betters. The Wisdom of India, her philosophy and achievement must be made known in Europe and America and the English be made to respect the natives of India and Tibet more than they do.” 1

From Buddhist High Priest Mohottiwatte Gunanana to Prince Emil of Wittgenstein, from General Abner Double

l Golden Book of the Theosophical Society (1925), pp. 28, 29.

day (founder of baseball) to Swami Saraswati, the famous of East and West did meet in a concerted effort to eliminate orthodox Christianity. In fact, many theosophists intended to eliminate all Christianity — orthodox and otherwise. When two theosophists attempted to institute a branch of Theosophy — known as Esoteric Christianity — that would be a revival of gnostic Christian teachings along the line of the Kabala — a form of Christianity that is Christian in name only — they quickly found opposition from the remainder of the Society, An attempt was made to resolve the dispute by chartering a special branch to be known as the Hermetic Lodge.

However, Theosophical hatred of Christianity was so strong that even such a watered-down, hereticized version could not survive within the organization. A Theosophical Society brochure made clear the anti-Christian aims of that movement:

“. . . To oppose the materialism of science and every form of dogmatic theology, especially the Christian, which the Chiefs of the Society regard as particularly pernicious; to make known among Western nations the long-suppressed facts about Oriental religious philosophies, their ethics, chronology, esoterism (sic), symbolism; to counteract, as far as possible, the efforts of missionaries to delude the so-called ‘Heathen’ and ‘Pagans’ as to the real origin and dogmas of Christianity and the practical effects of the latter upon public and private character in so-called Christian countries.”

As a matter of fact, it saw “unity” between all religions, except those monotheistic religions worshipping the Lord of Hosts:

“Esoteric Philosophy reconciles all nations, strips every one of its outward human garments, and shows the root of each to be identical with that of every other great religion. It proves the necessity of a Divine Absolute Principle in Nature. It denies Deity no more than it does the sun. Esoteric Philosophy has never rejected God in Nature, nor Deity as the absolute and abstract Ens. IT ONLY REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY OF THE GODS OF THE SO-CALLED MONOTHEISTIC RELIGIONS, GODS CREATED BY MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS, A BLASPHEMOUS AND SORRY CARICATURE OF THE EVER UNKNOWABLE.”*

This is an attitude that continues to prevail throughout the New Age Movement. Everything is good except orthodox, monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Proudly drawing their inspiration from “spirits” or “elementals,” the leaders of the Theosophical Society believed they were under the direct supervision of “adepts” and “initiates” belonging to a branch of “The Great White Brotherhood.” Following written orders from these spirit beings, the New York-based leadership moved to India in 1875.

Another order from these demonic messengers told them to keep the society and teachings secret — at least for the time being. This was a dictum that was to prevail for 100 years — until 1975 — the year initiates were at last permitted to make the initiatory teachings public.

After the secrecy order came down, the Society began to communicate by secret signs and words of recognition. This practice continues today within the modern New Age Movement. It is specifically designed to keep information from hostile investigators.

Freely acknowledging their demonic origins, the organization called one of its publications Lucifer for many years.

For all their zeal in stamping out Christianity for the sake of religious “freedom,” the early Movement had no such qualms about stamping their own brand of religious interference upon the unsuspecting Indian population:

“For, both H.P.B. [Blavatsky] and Colonel Olcott saw that Theosophy could become a power to reorganize India’s UFe^on national lines once again, if only Indians accepted, as a practical code of life, Theosophy in its entirety. . . .” 3

‘ibid., pp. 63, 64.

Psychic phenomena and seemingly miraculous signs also characterized the early days of the Society. These included precipitating of letters, materializations of objects, and production of strange sounds. Those allegedly producing the phenomena, which opponents of the Society decried as fraud, were said to be in Tibet, whereas the phenomena itself appeared in India and Europe.

An important addition was made to the Society when Helena Petrovna Blavatsky met an English clergyman named C.W. Leadbetter. To his surprise, he received two letters signed “Master KH CKoot Hoomi) instructing him to leave immediately for India to assist the Theosophists there. These letters arrived the same day that Madame Blavatsky was leaving England for a return trip to India. Disregarding biblical warnings about those in the last days departing from the truth to follow the doctrines of seducing spirits and devils, the clergyman quickly renounced the faith of his fathers to go serve the “masters.”

During these activities, Madame Blavatsky composed /sis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine under the direction of “the masters.” Although the books possess a scholarly appearance, they are in fact entirely the product of automatic (demon-manipulated) writing.

After Helena Blavatsky’s death, the organization continued to prosper under the direction of Annie Besant. That is, until they made an abortive attempt to bring forth the antichrist. Their candidate they meticulously prepared for the job backed out on them. In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved the accompanying Order of the Star consisting of his worldwide supporters. Perhaps some of the credit for the refusal might be attributed to his father, who fought Annie Besant and the Theosophical Society tooth-and-nail in an unsuccessful legal attempt to recover the children he had lost by Theosophical trickery.

The blow to the Theosophists was enormous, for no expense had been spared in grooming Krishnamurti for the job. Sorbonne educated and genteel in appearance, he was an individual with the necessary presence to make the desired worldwide impact.

Hbid., p. 42.

The disgruntled masters decided to pass the torch to another less rash than Annie Besant. It went to a former Christian teacher and former wife of an Episcopal rector named Alice Ann Bailey. Born to position and beauty in England, she spent part of her childhood in Montreal, where her father was employed as an engineer. Both parents died while Alice and her sister were still children.

Raised by other relatives, their treatment was not unkind and they were well provided for during their minority.

Alice evidently felt inferior to her sister, a beautiful and brilliant physician. If her autobiography is to be believed, she already had contact with a “master” while still in her teens — an experience she did not understand until much later. For a period of her life she aspired to Christian service and spent time in India for this purpose.

She married outside her own social class; however, the class difference had been provided for in the usual mode of raising a prospective husband’s status: he went to America to study for the Episcopal rectorhood and Alice joined him there. Since Episcopalians and Anglicans were considered equal in the eyes of British social and religious society, this technically made the marriage consistent with her own class.

It was not a happy marriage for Alice. Her husband had only one major vice — wife beating. After several children and several severe beatings, which Alice tried to hide to protect his ministry, the estrangement finally was permanent.

During their separation, she resided in California and supported her growing family by working in a fish cannery. Hearing of two women in town who were English and of her same social class, Alice attempted to make their acquaintance. They were Theosophists and encouraged Alice to join their ranks. Hungry for companionship, she attended their meetings. The exotic teachings must have added interest to her monotonous life as a fish canner. After a monthly stipend began coming from her husband, Walter, she was financially free to quit the cannery and devote her time to her children and esoteric philosophy.

The “masters” had found another chosen vehicle to preserve their teachings and do their work. Recruiting as usual from the confused, the lonely, and those in despair, they found a woman, with all three symptoms, mentally ready to do their bidding. As a result, her sister, a successful physician and devout Christian, broke all contact with Alice and never spoke to her for the remainder of her life.

Since the “masters” had convinced Alice of the possibility of reincarnation, she took the break with her sister in stride, thinking she would re-establish contact in her next life.

Later in life Alice married Foster Bailey. The Baileys did more than anyone, except perhaps Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, to build the foundations for the “New Age.” Alice wrote nearly two dozen books laying out the specific instructions for disciples of the “masters” in the latter part of the 20th century — our present time. Like Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, from that point forward in her life, Alice showed tenacious hatred for orthodox Christianity and fierce loyalty to the cause of occultism and Eastern mysticism.

Although she continued to label herself a Christian, an examination of her writings shows that she attached an entirely different meaning to the word than do orthodox believers. She taught the divinity of man and reincarnation as well as an attack on God’s Word — the standard lies of the serpent of Garden of Eden days!

Her work was immense. She organized the Arcane School, the New Group of World Servers, Triangles, World Goodwill, and assisted with a host of other foundational activities to help build the “New Age.”

Lucifer Publishing Company was established in 1922 to help disseminate her works. The name was changed the next year to Lucis Publishing Company for reasons unknown. (Maybe he wanted to use his nickname!)

Her work, was much more low-profile and cautious than that of the flamboyant Annie Besant, who had helped precipitate the Krishnamurti embarrassment for the “masters.” She concentrated on giving disciples directions for networking and infiltration. Time frames were established by the “masters.” Work was to remain low-profile until 1975 — when the hitherto secret teachings about the “New Age Christ” and “Hierarchy” could be publicly disseminated by all available media.

These teachings omitted little or nothing. They ranged from the attitude of the Hierarchy toward Jews (negative) through dietary advice. Step by step they plotted the coming “New Age,” with instructions for the institution of the necessary New World Order through the use of identifying rainbows. Plans for religious war, forced redistribution of the world’s resources, Luciferic initiations, mass planetary initiations, theology for the New World Religion, disarmament campaign, and elimination or sealing away of obstinate religious orthodoxies — all were covered extensively in the Alice Bailey writings. Even the “sacredness” of the number of the beast — 666 — was covered in at least two places.

She discounted the possibility that the Movement might be embarrassed by these books falling into the wrong hands. Alice was confident that they would be incomprehensible to anyone but an initiate.

Had she been more familiar with the scriptures, she would have realized the folly of this position:

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:10, KJV).

Comparing the Bailey teachings with the state of the Movement and its constituent organizations, it is clear that her instructions have been followed meticulously. Her disciples are now on the last stages of the New Age scheme to take the world for Lucifer.

The year 1962 was another landmark year, for that was when the Scottish community of Findhorn — the Vatican City of the New Age Movement — was founded. The lifework of Peter and Eileen Caddy and their friend Dorothy McLean, the role of Findhorn was to help anchor “The Plan” on earth. Again, their work was performed by following meticulously the Bailey writings and “guidance” Eileen was receiving from spirit beings and what she calls the voice of “God.”

Findhorn received an important new member in 1970 — David Spangler. Although many young people showed up daily at Findhorn, none received quite the royal welcome as did Spangler. Eileen Caddy had received “guidance” that David had the “Christ energies.”

Therefore, upon his arrival at Findhorn with his “spiritual advisor,” ex-Mormon Myrtle Glines, he was immediately inaugurated as the co-director of the Findhorn Foundation, where he was to remain for the next three years.

Spangler went into frequent transmission from demonic beings, including Maitreya, Rakoczi, and many others. Esoteric lore, from Tibetan Buddhism through UFOlogy, was actively pursued by the Findhorn initiates and would-be initiates. Clergy ranging from Episcopal priests through Methodist ministers and others came to Findhorn to lend their input and approval. Spangler made clear to those Findhorn residents and visitors — and a few years later to the entire listening world — that the true light of Findhorn was the light of Lucifer.

At the same time Findhorn was blossoming, esoteric groups around the world commenced their networking operations. Serving as a focal point for The Plan, Findhorn itself attracted visitors and residents from a worldwide base. Its residents meticulously studied and mastered the works of Alice A. Bailey, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Agni Yoga and a host of other esoteric “saints” and societies.

David Spangler wrote a book which purported to be a transmission from unearthly sources — or “his higher self.”

Revelation: The Birth of a New Age quickly became mandatory reading for Findhorn residents along with the Blavatsky/Bailey works. Networking efforts ranged from Amnesty International, New Age brain trusts of Lucis Trust and the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) of Palo Alto, California. SRI itself proclaimed the inviolability of “spiritual forces” on its public lobby walls.

Linkages were formed with the International Cooperation Council. This 200-plus organizational network of networks is dedicated to the speedy implementation of “The Plan” — a plan which includes the bringing in of a New Age “Christ.”

In 1973 David Spangler and other Findhornites left for the USA to form the Lorian Association. This was another Planetary Network designed to publicize the “spiritual” goals of the coming “New Age.” Lorian Association is presently headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. Spangler also calls Findhorn his home.

Similar to many dedicated New Agers, Spangler hails from a family which includes devout Christians. Jesus foresaw this division of earthly families:

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to bring peace, but a sword.

“For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:34-38, KJV).

The year 1975 was a banner year for the New Age Movement. That was when its disciples had permission from the deceased Alice Bailey to “come out of the closet” and spread the New Age message to the world. With joie de vivre they did go public. Spangler, Mark Satin, and a host of other New Age personages and organizations launched their public work.

It is interesting to note that Marilyn Ferguson also began publishing her Brain Mind Bulletin in 1975.

From 1975 through and including the present time the propaganda networking has coincided with other planning and organizational efforts.

One important para-military organization with ties to the New Age Movement has come into being — the Guardian Angels,

More ominous still are developments that have taken place under the auspices of the United States Military — the First Earth Battalion headed by recently retired Lt. Col. James Channon — who proudly proclaimed he was leading his “monk-warriors with the Force.”

Most important New Age organizations have coalesced behind Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose. Planetary Initiative itself has organized “The World Council of Wise Persons.” If their plans go according to schedule, Planetary Initiative will hold its World Congress in Toronto, Canada, on June 21, 1983, with a simultaneous meeting of the World Council of Wise Persons taking place in New York City at the United Nations headquarters.

However, we Christians must realize that God’s timetable takes precedence over the New Agers’ timetable. Clearly the times are in God’s hands. Nothing can happen, the whole New Age Movement notwithstanding, unless he is ready. However, if God is ready, are we ready? It is time for a real soul-searching by all God’s people.

According to New Age sources, the New Age Movement is a worldwide network. It consists of tens of thousands of cooperating organizations. Their primary goal or the secret behind their “unity-in-diversity” is the formation of a “New World Order,” The Movement usually operates on the basis of a well-formulated body of underlying esoteric or occult teachings.

Heavily drawing upon all forms of mysticism — Eastern and Western — the Movement could appear to the uninitiated as a loose coalition. However, there is extensive political collusion and agreement among its leadership.

Carefully structured along the lines set forth in the Alice Bailey writings, it includes organizations teaching mind control, holistic health, esoteric philosophy; scientific workers, political workers; and organizations dedicated to peace and world goodwill. It also includes many consumer, environmental and nutritional organizations as well as religious cults of every shade and description.

It has successfully infiltrated nearly every segment of our personal, religious, and professional lives.

The glue binding most New Age devotees is one of common mystical experiences, “Experiential religion” is considered vital within the Movement. A substantial proportion of those within the Movement strongly believe in psychic phenomena and say they do so because of “direct experiences.”

Those among their number who have not participated in the communal tripping of the “Light Fantastic” are encouraged to try meditation, LSD, or any one of the scores of “psychotechnologies” promised to induce “transformation” — a euphemism for progressively deeper levels of demonic influence.

The New Age Movement, called by Marilyn Ferguson The Aquarian Conspiracy, and deriving its name from the socalled Age of Aquarius, encompasses a number of groups and submovements, such as: the Holistic Movement , Humanistic Psychology, Trans personal Psychology, Humanistic Movement, New Thought, Third Wave, Third Force, The New Spirituality, the Human Potential Movement, Secular Humanism, and Humanism.

Contrary to the assertions of New Agers that their conspiracy lacks dogma, there is a discernible body of teachings dominant within the Movement. While many paths may be employed to reach the trance-like state they encourage, once that state is reached, the paths are nearly identical from that point forward. As Alice Bailey said, “[T]he emphasis in all esoteric schools is necessarily, and rightly, laid upon meditation.” 1

Besides the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey, the bulk of New Age doctrine is derived from the works of George Gurdjieff, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, P.D. Ouspensky, H.G. Wells, Nicholas Roerich, (the Agni Yoga teachings), and David Spangler. The esoteric thrusts of the Movement as well as the aims of its groups are largely derived from the Alice Bailey books. Its overall direction and tactical strategy may be Found in The Open Conspiracy: Blueprints for a World Revolution by H.G. Wells. The “New Revelation” of the Movement has come forth in the prolific prose and poetry of Spangler.

Marilyn Ferguson’6 The Aquarian Conspiracy, an important New Age manifesto, attempts to announce and popularize what the New Agers chose to publicly display in their Movement. Heavily extolling the joys of “altered states of consciousness,” her book contains more euphemisms than facts when it comes to describing the promised land of the New Age.

Millions of human beings are actively involved with the

■From The Externalisation of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Publishing Company, New York City (originally incorporated as the Lucifer Publishing Company), quoting from page 17.

New Age Movement in all its phases and levels of activity. The hierarchy of the Movement has successfully managed to draw from a full spectrum of society to implement eventual aims that can only benefit a small percentage — if anyone at all. Millions have been deceived into supporting projects designed to eventually strip even themselves of their civil liberties, much of their property, their preferred religion, and perhaps even their lives.

While euphemistically professing peace and love, the Movement has blinded even many of its sincere adherents from seeing its plain declarations for what they actually are. In trance-like rapture they openly cheer while “Aryanism,” “the out-worn Jewish dispensation,” “mass planetary initiation,” “cleansing action” are sold to them as desirable positions and programs. While these same individuals would rightfully picket to prevent a Nazi demonstration, they fail to see that point-for-point the program of the New Age Movement has complete identity with the programs of Hitler.

Supporters of anti-hunger programs are urged to back measures for abortion, artificial insemination, forced limitation of family size, genetic control, and even death control.

Disarmament is a major component of the New Age Movement. Most of the rank and file supporters of this measure are sincere. However, I am sure most of them would lose their enthusiasm if they became aware of the scheme in its entirety. For the very same books that lay out the freeze campaign as a necessary step towards implementing a planetary government and a New World Order also state that the bombs will be used to keep religious groups in line once out of the hands of individual nation states. 2

While professing to decry the abuses of Hitler, at least one important leader of the Movement has not-so-subtly informed New Age disciples that Hitler was one of their own and a disciple at that. 3

‘See The Externalisation of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey. You will find the freeze campaign outlined as step no. 9 towards implementing the “New World Order.” This is found on page 190-191. Turn to page 548 and you will see an exfoliation of the atomic bomb as something developed by the occult “Hierarchy” and the plans for use or threatened use on obstinate religious groups who will not relinquish their right to speak out on political/social issues.

While professing to support equality, the Movement’s seminal writings openly call for the triumph of Aryanism and the domination of Caucasians over other “root races.” The New Age is, according to the “Tibetan Master,” an age of Occidental racial triumph. 4 We are all to be considered equal in the New Age to be sure — but at varying stages of evolutionary development! 5

While professing support for religious liberty in their public releases, the Alice Bailey books which are meticulously followed within the Movement call for complete abridgement of this freedom. They openly and boldly set forth plans for a new mandatory world religion — a religion completely breaking with the concept of Jesus as the Christ and God as the Father. Jews and Christians — Roman Catholic and Protestant alike — as well as uncooperative Moslems are openly slated for persecution and even a “cleansing action” should they fail to cooperate. 6

3 See Running Cod’s Plan by Foster Bailey, pp. 14-15. This book is published by Lucis Trust. Foster Bailey was an attorney, a former officer of the American Theosophical Society under the international direction of Annie Besant, and most importantly, die husband of Alice A. Bailey. The Baileys broke with the Theosophical Society after Alice became the subject of transmissions by the “masters.” They formed Lucis Trust, which is the single most important organization within the Movement, as the custodian of the Alice Bailey writings. While Bailey does not mention Hitler directly in this particular passage, nevertheless, one hardly needs a Ph.D. in history to sort out his statements that a previous attempt had been made to unify Europe “by uniting the peoples living in the Rhine River valley using that river as a binding factor. It was an attempt by a disciple but did not work. Now another attempt is in full swing. . . .” This particular paragraph was penned by Foster Bailey in 1972. Foster Bailey died in 1977 and the work at Lucis Trust has continued under the direction of Mary Bailey, Foster Bailey’s widow. After the death of Alice Bailey in 1949, Foster Bailey eventually married Mary Bailey, another staunch female esotericist.

4 See Initiation, Human and Solar by Alice Bailey (transmitted “telepathically” by the “Tibetan Master”), page 182. According to this, the “New Age” is to be an age when “[Ajbove all . . . which brings opportunity to the occidental races, and through the medium of this life force of executive organization, of government by rule and order, by rhythm and by ritual, will come the time wherein the occidental races — with their active, concrete mind, and their vast business capacity — can take initiation.”

s See The Extemalisation of the Hierarchy, page 190 (paragraph no. 4) which states that “The new world order will be founded on the recognition that all men are equal in origin and goal but that all are at differing stages of evolutionary development, ”

In fact, Jews are no better off with the New Agers than they were under their predecessors the Nazis. The New Agers also maintain the traditional occult doctrine of a blood taint resting on those of Jewish extraction. 7

New Age esoteric leaders such as Benjamin Creme have openly attempted to deify Lucifer. 8 At the same time they have subtly demoted Jesus — phasing him out by reducing him to the rank of a relatively low-level “Master of Wisdom.”

Considering that it meets every test of Bible prophecy regarding the coming antichrist as well as every test of Nazism, it is incredible that the Movement has been able to achieve such power and influence. An imminent coup by a New Age cabal is not outside the range of probability.

Organizations as diverse as Amnesty International, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Children of God, and Zero Population Growth openly and proudly bill themselves as “New Age.” So do another approximately 10,000 organizations within just the United States and Canada — not including the branches of these organizations — many of which are located in every major city.’

‘See The Rays and the Initiations by Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Publishing Company, New York, pp. 754-755. This defines the surfacely innocuous line of the “Great Invocation” calling for “sealing the door where evil dwells.” This includes doing away with the religious citadels of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

‘See, for example. The Rays and the Initiations by Alice A. Bailey, pages 705-706, which states that the New “Christ” will not be Jewish as the Jews have forfeited that privilege and must “pass through fires of purification.” These particular passages were written in 1949 when the entire world knew exactly what had happened to Europe’s Jewish population.

“See The Exlernalisation of the Hierarchy, page 107, which states that Lucifer is the ruler of humanity. In a November 9, 1982, radio interview over WLAC, Nashville, Benjamin Creme told the entire Bible belt that Lucifer came to planet earth from planet Venus I8V2 million years ago and made the supreme sacrifice for us. David Spangler in his Reflections on the Christ devotes an entire chapter to “Lucifer, Christ and God.” He states on page 44-45 that the required initiation to enter the New Age is Luciferic. Reflections is published by the Findhorn Foundation. Findhorn may accurately be described as the “Vatican City” of the New Age Movement.

These organizations have achieved “synergy,” thereby maximizing their strength to enormous proportions through a process of networking. This structure is difficult to depict on an ordinary organizational chart. Sociologically described as “Segmented Polycentric Integrated Networks” (SPIN), Marilyn Ferguson says that the “organization chart of a SPIN would look like ‘a badly knotted fishnet with a multitude of nodes of varying sizes, each linked to all the others, directly or indirectly,’ ” 10

And there is no single leader or organization indispensable to the functioning of this New Age “network of networks.”

“Each segment of a SPIN is self-sufficient. You can’t destroy the network by destroying a single leader or some vital organ. The center — the heart — of the network is everywhere. A bureaucracy is as weak as its weakest link. In a network, many persons can take over the function of others. This characteristic is also like the brain’s plasticity, with an overlap of functions so that new regions can take over for damaged cells.

“Just as a bureaucracy is less than the sum of its parts, a network is many times greater than the sum of its parts. This is a source of power never before tapped in history: multiple self-sufficient social movements linked for a whole array of goals whose accomplishment would transform every aspect of contemporary life.” 11

Jim Jones was an excellent case in point. Prior to the Guyana suicide/murder fiasco, the New Agers were most proud to claim him as their own. In fact, they gave his organization the label of a New Age “spiritual” center. 12

‘According to the Spiritual Community Guide §4, 1979, one could order the NAM (New Age Media) International New Consciousness Directory. According to the advertising blurb, “The first edition of this year’s directory features the names and full addresses (only) of approximately 10,000 New Age’organizations with their branches throughout the United States and Canada, and some overseas.” Orders and inquiries for this directory were to be directed to NAM Directory, Box 1080-G, San Rafael, California 94902. That particular edition was sold for $25.00.

‘”Quoting from The Aquarian Conspiracy, page 216. Marilyn Ferguson was in her turn quoting anthropologists Luther Gerlach and Virginia Hine.
“Ibid., pp. 216-217.

Spiritual Community Guide (Handbook for the New Age) listed People’s Temple as a “center” in their 1972 and possibly later editions. According to them, Jones’ role was to “teach Christian socialism in preparation for the New Age.” 13

Of course, once Jones lost his sanity and his favorable public image, the rest of the New Agers never mentioned him again, except to point to him as an example of the dangers of religious fundamentalism. New Age Magazine as well as several other New Age publications, quickly and with real chutzpah, moved to turn a potential public relations disaster into a propaganda victory.

The New Age Movement is different. Because of those differences we tend not to recognize it for the true danger it actually poses. As Marilyn Ferguson euphemistically said in quoting anthropologist Virginia Hine:

” ‘Because SPINs are so qualitatively different in organization and impact from bureaucracies/ Hine said, ‘most people don’t see them — or think they are conspiracies. Often networks take similar action without conferring with each other simply because they share so many assumptions. It might also be said that the shared assumptions are the collusion.’ “”

Networking is not a passing fad; it is the key to success for the Aquarian Conspiracy or the New Age Movement:

“The role of the centers is to anchor “The Plan” on earth. As David Spangler once said, “The value of the New Age centers is that they are developing around people and places relatively uncontaminated by the taught forces, energies, and patterns of the past. Not being a part of the old web of power lines and influence, these new centers are not faced with having to overcome the inertia and ambiguous energies from past patterns. Thus a new world is being bom and shall be born. …” (Quoting from The Magic of Findhorn by Paul Hawken, Bantam Edition, 1976, New York, p. 327.)

“From page 25 of Spiritual Community Guide, copyright © 1972 by “The Spiritual Community,” Box 1080, San Rafael, California 94902.

“The Aquarian Conspiracy, p. 217.

“The Aquarian Conspiracy is, in effect, a SPIN of SPINs, a network of many networks aimed at social transformation. The Aquarian Conspiracy is indeed loose, segmented, evolutionary, redundant. Its center is everywhere. Although many social movements and mutual-help groups are represented in its alliances, its life does not hinge on any of them.” 15

While Marilyn Ferguson and others have protested that the Movement is both leaderless and unstructured, their statements are belied by the abundance of network council organizational charts, matrixes, statements of purpose, and directories — all showing both leadership and structure to an advanced degree.

“Network” as well as “synergy” are magic words for New Agers. By networking they have achieved a synergetic effect that makes them nearly unstoppable. By networking they have indeed achieved a lack of dependency on any one group or leader.

As they continued undaunted by the Jim Jones affair, they probably can and will go on unaffected by anyone else committing a similar faux pas in the eyes of the public. Perhaps they will again even exploit such a similar disaster by publishing books and articles proclaiming that unfortunate experience to be a danger of “religious fundamentalism.”

Frustratingly, most of the participants in these New Age networks are quite innocently involved. Either they do not know the true aims and intents of its leadership or, more often, they are operating under the influence of extremely sophisticated forms of mind control. 16

Classes such as TM, Silva Mind Control, EST, Life springs, Arica and dozens of other such “psychotechnologies” help the trainers induce the desired trance-like state in the would-be initiate.

“Ibid., p. 217.

“Typically, in many New Age sessions, particularly within the New Age cults, participants are taken under progressively deeper levels of hypnosis and not brought back out! One such session witnessed by me personally in Oklahoma City saw the “guru” take his audience under several levels of hypnosis by putting them in a “relaxation’ state. Techniques of clairvoyance were taught while they were under as well as religious/political propaganda. They were never brought back up!

However, many abandon the New Age Movement when tactfully presented with its true facts.

Truly the conspiring spirit behind the New Age Movement, as well as many of its theoreticians, leaders, and occult predecessors, has successfully exploited the principle of “divide and conquer.” They have succeeded in persuading Christian to fight against Christian. While the Christians were preoccupied with each other, their churches were nearly all infiltrated with the New Age philosophies and socialpolitical programs. Judaism was also infiltrated.

The New Age teachings are the same old lies that have been about since the snake beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden: “Thou shalt not surely die . . . and thou shalt be as gods.” Combine that line together with an attack on God’s Word and understand the reason why Lucifer was originally expelled from Paradise and you will perfectly understand the philosophies and goals of the New Age Movement.

The political goal of the Movement is global control. Although this goal has never before been achieved, they think the times are ripe and they may well be right.

“Global communications have encircled our world beyond any possibility of retreat. Now the whole planet is alive with instantaneous links, networks of people poised for communication and cooperation.” 17

And as Marilyn Ferguson further noted, the base has been carefully constructed for many years:

“Cultural transformation announces itself in sputtering fits and starts, sparked here and there by minor incidents, warmed by new ideas that many smoulder for decades. In many different places, at different times, the kindling is laid for the real conflagration — the one that will consume the old landmarks and alter the landscape forever.” 18

“Ibid., p. 35.

While the writings are probably deliberately scattered, nevertheless, there is a discernible political program emanating from the New Agers. They propose to establish gigantic global agencies such as a World Food Authority, World Water Authority, and an authority to administer a universal draft and a universal tax. 19 They have pointed to such legislative proposals as the Peace Academy as proof of their success in advancing towards the New World Order. They intend to gjve us a ‘Universal Credit Card” not to mention a “New World Religion.” 20

The structures New Agers propose are both Orwellian and apocalyptic in their scope, organization, and possibilities. Proposing the dissolution and/or destruction of individual nation states in the interests of peace and conservation, New Age spokesmen openly discuss their replacement with a bioregional parliament and a “Planetary Guidance System.” 21

As already mentioned, its big push is through a vehicle known as Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose. Planetary Initiative’s “World Council of Wise Persons” membership reads like a New Age Who’s Who. 22

”Ibid., p. 37,

“David Spangler spoke in Southfield, Michigan, on February 1, 1982. At that time he told those present that the New World Order would consist of very large global agencies. We would have to manage on a large scale. He said that both the United Nations and the multi-national corporations have been training grounds for the coming globalization.

“See, for example, Buckminster Fuller’s The Critical Path, St. Martin’s Press, copyright © 1981. Computer use and its maliciously planned destructive impact on religion are discussed on pp. xxvii, xxviii, 215, 217, 218.

“See for example Mark Satin’s New Age Politics, chapter 17 “Planetization: Celebration of Unity.” Satin quotes Club of Rome sources, Richard Falk of the Institute for World Order, Donald Keys of Planetary Citizens (also Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose), Barbara Ward and Gerald & Patricia Mische as being in support of such a structure. All are prominent within the New Age Movement.

“Incredible, but true! Norman Cousins is heading the invitor committee, according to Issue #2 of their newspaper, The Initiator. Buckminster Fuller and Dr. Carlos Romulo of the Philippines had accepted as of late winter-early spring, 1982. They plan to hold a simultaneous meeting of the World Council of Wise Persons in tandem with the “culminating global congress” of Planetary Initiative in Toronto. Of course this will take place at the time of “Summer Solstice,” 1983.

While it is all too common for New Agere to ridicule orthodox Christians and particularly fundamentalists as being “fanatical and unsophisticated,” their own beliefs surpass the “bizarre.” They calmly discuss not only Luciferic initiations, but “raising the fires of Kundalini,” chakras, and “Maitreya the Christ.”

They rationalize the concepts of initiation and secret ritual by claiming a need for the “geniuses” among us to have their own private language and code. The Movement has managed to win many of the very cream of our intellectual crop by flatteries. The flattery is the same as that employed by the serpent to Eve — “Thou shalt be as gods.” As the book of Daniel says:

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32, KJV).

In fact, the New Agers claim they are a “new species.” They have “evolved” into homo noeticus. They “evolved” by employing mind-expansion techniques such as meditation and the “other disciplines.” 23

Such talk is chillingly reminiscent of Hitler’s “master race” theories. And it should be for it is identical. Both theories — Nazi and New Age — are based on a fable of “Aryanism,” a belief that out of the mists of Atlantis emerged Aryan man. Other “sub-races” also survived the Atlantis cataclysms; however, the Aryans were the most highly “evolved.”

In agreement with Hitler’s Nazi doctrines, New Agers also believe that superior mutation of Aryan man can only come through “consciousness expansion.” One could smile at such nonsense were it not for the all-too-poignant memories of the masses who worshipped and blindly followed Hitler.

One is also forced to pause when he sees the extensive organizational efforts of determined New Agers. Planetary Initiative and its World Council of Wise Persons are synergistically enhanced by the parallel operation of networking organizations such as New World Alliance, Club of Rome, World Goodwill, Lucis Trust, and thousands of others.

“This surprising statement is taken from John White’s introduction to the 1979 International Cooperation Council Directory, Presently known as the Unity-in-Diversity Council and under the direction of Leland Steward, it is actively and openly on the “Maitreyan path.”

New Age communication employs a specialized vocabulary extensive enough to require a separate New Age Dictionary which helps worldwide New Agers speak each other’s language. 24

The Movement teaches the Law of Rebirth or reincarnation This is basically a teaching that man does not really die, but that he instead is endlessly reborn into new life cycles until such time as he perfects himself sufficiently to qualify for endless rest (Nirvana). Of course, this just happens to match one of the lies of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in telling Eve “you shall not surely die.”

The Movement teaches that the Trinity is inferior to an entity known as “The Solar Logos.” In fact, the Alice Bailey writings contain in at least two places elaborate organization charts of the “gods” and “masters.” The “Solar Logos” is just a notch above the Trinity — a false trinity that does not match our Holy Trinity in that instead of being a personal godhead there is a “Solar Trinity or Logoi” consisting of:

I The Father Will
II The Son Love-wisdom
III Holy Spirit Active Intelligence

After the Solar Trinity come the “Seven Rays” and below that, but deriving “authority” directly from “The Solar Logos” is “S. Sanat Kumara (a scrambling of Satan).” According to Benjamin Creme, David Spangler, the Alice Bailey writings, and the Helena Petrovna Blavatsky writings, this so-called Sanat Kumara is our “God,” the “Ancient of Days” and the “One Initiator.” Probably, more truthfully, the “Venus” link of occultism gives us a better clue as to who Sanat Kumara really is. For “Sanat Kumara” is allegedly “the eternal youth from the Planet Venus.” Lucifer is also known in occultdom as “Venus.” Therefore, Sanat Kumara is merely another name for Satan or Lucifer.

“Yes Virginia, there really is a New Age Dictionary! The New Age Dictionary was compiled by Alex Jack, the Associate Editor of East West Journal, another prominent New Age magazine. It is published by Kanthaka Press of Brookline Village, Massachusetts, and was copyrighted © in 1976 (“The Year of the Dragon”). It contains thousands of entries in its 224 pages. Needless to say, it is an invaluable reference for those wishing to research the New Age Movement.

The same chart also contains several lower levels of assorted “Kumaras,” “departmental heads,” “Manus,” “Bodhisattvas,” and “Mahachohans,” and beneath them, in their turn, many “masters.”

Guess who is at the bottom of this chart? None other than “The Master Jesus!” They have demoted our Lord and Savior to the lowest possible spot on their “Hierarchy of Masters!” Furthermore, adding insult to injury, he is shown as reporting to an entity known as the “Venetian Master.”

This is clearly the preaching or teaching of “another Jesus” as warned against in II Corinthians 11:3-4, which states:

“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.

“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted …” (KJV).

The same organizational chart has separate listings for Jesus and the Christ — a distinct mark of the spirit of antichrist:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, KJV).

Another key component to the Movement is a boundless belief in evolution. In fact, it is central to their theology. The Movement teaches that we have all evolved, but some of us have evolved more highly than others — just as some of us “manifest our divinity” more than others.

It is interesting to note that several of the signers of the 1973 Humanist Manifesto are also actively involved in Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose — the big, invogue political vehicle for the would-be forces of “Maitreya the Christ.”

These esoteric teachings, founded on a base of Eastern mysticism, include a belief in the “Law of Avatars.” This teaching states that at the start of every New Age the “Solar Logos” sends “The Christ” or a lesser avatar to overshadow a human being, and working through that person, imparts necessary teachings to the world to help its citizens move forward into the New Age.

When Benjamin Creme, spokesman for the so-called Maitreya the Christ spoke in Detroit on November 4, 1981, he was asked if he had ever met the Christ.

His answer was revealing. He said, “No, I’ve never met the Christ, but I’ve met the human body he is inhabiting several times — but never as the Christ.”

This reveals the real nature of the antichrist and the power behind the New Age Movement in general. It constitutes nothing less than old-fashioned demonic possession. The person who will eventually be the antichrist and consequently the chief spokesman for Satan will be an adult who freely and voluntarily decided to assume the spirit of Satan.

The Movement teaches that man is saved by initiation and works rather than through the grace of God and faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Initiation is considered by them to be the heart and core of the planned New World Religion.

This initiation has been clearly defined as “Luciferic” in the Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Alice Ann Bailey, and David Spangler writings. Sadly, the New Age Movement has infiltrated even many of our Christian denominations with this pagan concept.

Another key teaching of this Movement is that all things are “interconnected” or “interdependent.” This is known in the New Age Movement as the Doctrine of Wholeness. This is also called the Doctrine of At-One-Ment, which is a probable perversion of the Christian doctrine of atonement. Its relationship to the Holistic Movement is clear.

The New Age Movement’s deep and abiding hatred for Jews, Catholics, Protestant fundamentalists, and orthodox Moslems in particular, and all Christians in general has been reaffirmed in the numerous David Spangler writings and tapes as well as those of other current New Age leaders.

Further, the Movement’s theology contains a strong belief in an “inner government” of our planet by a hierarchy of spirits or alleged “masters of wisdom.”

One has only to read The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft, The Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michel Angebert, Hitler, the Occult Messiah by Gerald Suster, and Gods and Beasts, the Nazis and the Occult by Dusty Sklar to quickly come to the horrible realization that the basic doctrines of the New Age Movement were also the teachings that formed the ethos of Nazism.

The danger to Jews, Christians, and even orthodox Moslems from this New Age Movement should not be underestimated. The Movement is working quickly and efficiently to execute its scheme to take control of the world for “Maitreya,” not so-subtly, calling it “The Plan.”

If “The Plan” proceeds on schedule, they may well be in the driver’s seat by June 21, 1983, the date of their planned World Congress to be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Much of the leadership behind this Initiative has already taken public stands in favor of “Maitreya the Christ.”

They have made flat statements in writing that they plan to outlaw the present religious practices and symbols of orthodox Jews and Christians.

They claim that master “messiahs” will appear to adherents of all the present major world religions to persuade them of the “truths” of the New World Religion and its “New Relevation.” In fact, “continuity of revelation” is to be a key doctrinal note of the “New World Religion.”

They have also stated that angels will appear with “Maitreya” at the time of his declaration and attempted implementation of the New World Religion.

Christians should not be deceived should such an occurrence take place, for the Bible clearly warns us that Satan is able to appear as an angel of light and has the power to make his lesser agents and ministers appear likewise in the same light.

The Movement has threatened violence and even extermination of Jews, Christians, and Moslems failing to cooperate with “Maitreya” and the New World Religion. The threat is contained in several places in the Alice Bailey writings and reiterated in the David Spangler writings, which state that those of us who refuse to accept the “Christ” will be sent to another dimension other than physical incarnation, out of physical embodiment, to another level of vibration where we will be happier!

The threat is also repeated in the Agni Yoga (Nicholas Roerich) teachings, another cornerstone work of the “New Age.”

The Movement is profoundly antisemitic, all the way through to its esoteric core. Many lesser-level initiates in the Movement are unaware of the situation. The Movement’s theoreticians, including Spangler, also speak freely of the need to maintain Aryan purity — which was Hitler’s justification for exterminating the Jews.

Despite their current talk of need for “religious freedom” from the “persecutions.” of the Moral Majority, the Movement advocates just the opposite. Its views are reiterated frequently by prominent New Age spokesmen such as Gregory Bateson, David Spangler, and Foster Bailey (Bateson and Bailey are now both deceased): that religious freedom and the separation between Church and State must end in the New Age.

Buckmirister Fuller has also incorporated such teachings into his “design science” proposals for the “New Age.”

The Movement has campaigned long and arduously for disarmament. This is considered a key step to the implementation of their hoped-for “New World Order.”

“9. In the preparatory period for the new world order there will be a steady and regulated disarmament. It will not be optional. No nation will be permitted to produce and organise any equipment for destructive purposes or to infringe the security of any other nation. One of the first tasks of any future peace conference will be to regulate this matter and gradually see to the disarming of the nations. ” JS

How sincere they are about a nuclear-free world, however, is unfortunately well-demonstrated within the pages of the very same Alice Bailey book:

“The atomic bomb (though used only twice destructively) ended the resistance of the powers of evil because its potency is predominantly etheric. Its uses are twofold at this time:

“a. As the forerunner of that release of energy which will change the mode of human living and inaugurate the new age wherein we shall not have civilisations and their emerging cultures but a world culture and an emerging civilisation, thus demonstrating the true synthesis which underlies humanity. The atomic bomb emerged from a first ray Ashram [will-to-good, Shamballa (force, violence) energies], working in conjunction with a fifth ray group [scientific workers]; from the long-range point of view, its intent was and is purely beneficent.

“b. As a means in the hands of the United Nations to enforce the outer forms of peace, and thus give time for teaching on peace and on the growth of goodwill to take effect. The atomic bomb does not belong to the three nations who perfected it and who own the secrets at present — the United States of America, Great Britain and Canada. It belongs to the United Nations for use (or let us rather hope, simply for threatened use when aggressive action on the part of any nation rears its ugly head). It does not essentially matter whether that aggression is the gesture of any particular nation or group of nations or whether it is generated by the

political groups of any powerful religious organisation, such as the Church of Rome, who are as yet unable to leave politics alone and attend to the business for which all religions are responsible — leading human beings closer to the God of Love.” 26

“The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretell times and things, by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testaments, not to gratify men’s curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event; and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world. For the event of things predicted many ages before, will then be a convincing argument that the world is governed by providence.” — Isaac Newton, The Prophecies of Daniel and The Apocalypse (1733), pp. 244-245

I found this article in May 2018 on a forum The Origins of Dispensational Futurism. Since that time there have many updates. If you are interested in learning what’s wrong with dispensational theology, you might want to visit that forum.

I consider this article the clearest and most thorough explanation I have heard to date of why evangelicals believe what they believe about the Endtime.

The Jesuits created the modern system of dispensational futurism. Although the Jesuits derived certain aspects of this myth from “futuristic elements” embedded in the teachings of the early church fathers, the evidence is clear that they elaborated the elements of this myth from the early church fathers as a tool to destroy and counter the Protestant Reformation by attempting to lift the heat off the Papacy as the identity of Antichrist.

The theological elements of Futurism are derived from the extra-biblical writings, such as: The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Sibylline Oracles, Baruch, 1st and 2nd Esdras, T. Levi, The Ascension of Isaiah, etc. etc.

The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha writings were written by Hellenistic Jews. These Jews mixed Babylonian, Persian, and Greek paganism with Judaism.

Long before the first advent of Christ, mystical Jews believed that an anti-messiah would come and oppose the Messiah; the anti-messiah was called “Beliar”; and he was believed to be the devil incarnate in human form.

The early Church Fathers such as Ireneaus, Hippolytus, Apollinaris and others, borrowed Futurist elements from these mythical, pseudepigraphal writings, which served to shape their views of end-time events.

The Jesuits created Futurism from the Beliar myth found in these writings, indicating that modern Dispensational Futurist theology is nothing more than pagan mythology convoluted around real scripture.

The Protestants of the Reformation era knew about this fable, and Protestants separated the real Bible from the extra-Biblical writings.

When the Protestants studied the Bible without the fables of the Catholic Church fathers – the Beliar myth – they clearly identified the Papacy as the Antichrist.

Modern Protestant Churches the world over have abandoned the Protestant Reformation, and they now teach Catholic theology from the Council of Trent which commenced in 1545 A.D. The Jesuit Cardinals Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) and Robert Bellarmino (1542-1621) in the 16th and 17th centuries were foremost at setting out to accomplish this Protestant destroying task in scraping every bit of knowledge they could formulate from the Early Church Fathers to concoct and repackage the fantastical Jesuit scheme of Futurism. Jesuit Cardinal Manuel de Lacunza in the early 19th century, also an advocate of Futurism, deliberately attempted to take the pressure off the papacy by proposing that the Antichrist was still off in the future, and also laid the foundation for much of modern-day dispensational ideology. On the other hand, the Spanish Jesuit Luis de Alcazar (1554-1613) in the 16th and 17th centuries was set to the task of concocting the Preterist scheme. Both schemes blossomed about the same time and successfully got the “heat” off the Papacy from the detection of Antichrist. It took about 300 years before the Protestant world allowed itself to become infected by these two deadly viruses. Dr. Maitland, James H. Todd, Henry Newman (who later became a Catholic Cardinal after accepting Futurism), Irving, and later Darby and Scofield all came to accept major elements of Ribera’s and Bellarmine’s fantastical views of a singled-out, future, one-man Antichrist (stemming from the Beliar myth that comes from Persian dualism and Zoroastrianism) as well as the incredible disjointed “gap” theory by which the Jesuits adopted from Hippolytus’ erroneous construing of the first 69 units, or weeks of years, as reaching from the first year of Cyrus (or Darius the Mede) to the incarnation of Christ–a chronological impossibility without elongating the period. This “faulty reasoning” of Hippolytus inspired modern Futurism’s “gap” theory.

Dispensationalism is simply another branch of Catholicism—developed by the Jesuits in the Counter-Reformation. After all is said and done, the Roman Catholic Jesuits must still be identified as being responsible for concocting and inventing the Futurist schemes of prophetic interpretation seen so rampant today in the Protestant and Evangelical world. Why? Because they concocted their Futurist interpretations based on outdated futuristic elements embedded in the teachings of the Church Fathers who thought the world would end no later than AD 500, not to mention many of their Futuristic views were shaped through the lenses of the extra-Biblical, Psuedepigraphal books written by uninspired authors. After the passing of some 1000 years, the Protestant Reformers were able to look back in retrospect comparing history with prophecy and were clearly able to see the manifestation of Antichrist and that Little Horn of Daniel 7 in the Roman Church-State.

James and Tess Arendt

On May 5th I flew to Guam from Osaka, Japan, to meet my bride Tess for the first time! She met me at the airport together with her father, her neice and nefphew, and her brother Joey and his wife. I put an engagment ring on her finger at the airport in public, and strangers applauded us!

The first two nights we had to stay at a hotel at $75 night. The place we intended to stay for free turned out to be a closed door!

On May 6th. Sunday, I attended the local church with Tess. It was a blessing to see so many Christians together in one place, hundreds of them! The pastor was so sweet and gave a message of love and hope.

I didn’t bring all that much money from Japan. It was $360 USD and 80,000 Japanese yen which I exchanged for $696 USD. At $75 a night plus money for food, that money would not last long! We were told apartments are expensive.

On May 7th, Monday, we moved to an AirBnB place at only $35 a day on the tourist hotel street right by the beach on Tumon Bay! Walks along the beach in the evening were great! I talked to Japanese tourists in Japanese and had them take photos of Tess and me!

On May 8, Tuesday, Tess and I saw an offer in Chriaglist for a house at only $570 a month, fully furnished and with WIFI! We downloaded the contract and would have sent that money through Money Gram the next day had not a good brother in Christ, Gregory, pointed out to us that it could be a scam! We listened to Gregory and didn’t send the money. The owners are off island and living in Texas! Gregory pointed out the deal sounded too good and it looked flaky to him. We believe now he was right and are so thankful to have been saved from deceit and robbery!

On May 9th, Wednesday, Gregory took us to the Veterans Administration building where I applied for medical benefits from the VA. He also took us to see Ms. Amor, who offered us a studio apartment at $670 a month. The location was very good but at that amount of money we were hoping to find something better. I also established a bank account and my own PayPal account.

On May 10, Thursday I received a gift from a brother in UK via the PayPay account. And later I received payment for a domain name I previously renewed for a friend in Australia. It totaled $89, our first income since coming to Guam!

May 11, Friday, we received notice from Gregory of a house we can live in with an elderly lady at only $300 a month! We were overjoyed! We will move today. Also we will meet a person who can possibly give me employment as a wedding pastor, a job I had much experience in Japan.

On May 13, Mother’s Day, we met Ms. Paca’s two sons, wives and children. We had a mother’s day lunch with them. About 10 days later one of Ms. Paca’s sons, Tiger, invited Tess and I to temporarily live in his million dollar house in the captial, Agana, to care for his 3 dogs and 2 cats while he and his family take a vacation in the Republic of Palau! They said we can eat up any food we find!

On May 20 Tess and I had our marriage ceremony in Yigo in Bethel Baptist Church. The minister was William Maunsell.

My days of hitchhiking in Japan are over. On May 5th, 2018 I will start a brand new life in Guam with my bride! The chart shows the distances I traveled by hitchhiking since I kept records, a total of 258,500 kilometers. I estimate the total distance hitchhiked over 20 years from March 1998 to be 350,000 kilometers.

You can see a detailed breakdown of the people who picked me up.

My fiancee from the Philippines, Teresita AKA Tess!

August 6, 2022 update

Tess and I have been together for 4 years and 3 months. God has blessed us tremendously, and we are happier than ever, praise the Lord!

Original post

March 14, 2018 was a most auspicious day of my life! I asked a dear sister in Christ for her hand in marriage, and she said YES!!!

The photo above was when she was younger. When I get her permission I hope to post her name and more photos.

The wonderful thing about our romance is it’s all based on text messages on Facebook Messenger and Facebook posts. I have never met her yet face to face! We have only seen each others photos and once we chatted by web camera. This makes a truly spiritual relationship without the flesh either aiding or hindering it.

I know what you’re thinking now. “How can you be sure this is real and not a scam?” The answer is I have known her for a long time. She has been my Facebook friend from December 2012, and we first started to write to each other from December 2nd, 2016. From March 1st, 2017, we began to exchange messages often, and later daily, and now several times a day. She loves the same Father GOD Yahweh as I do, and the same LORD and Creator as I do, Jesus Christ. She has proven that to me literally thousands of times from her words. And she knows I have nothing to give her but my life, love and service. It was an answer to prayer for both of us! A marriage made in Heaven!

With Dr. Natamats, February, 13, 2002 at the Gakushi Kaikan in Tokyo

I first wrote this in February 2002 and posted it on my first website at kt70.com/~jamesjpn Because that website no longer exists, I am reposting it here.

On Feb. 13, 2002 while in Tokyo, I was invited by German Marina to attend with her a meeting called "21stCentury Seminar" and dinner held in honor of one of the greatest inventors of all time, Dr. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, also known as Dr. NakaMats. This is his preferred spelling of his name. According to the rules of writing Japanese in Roman letters, it would be Nakamastsu.

One of Dr. NakaMats’ well-known inventions is the floppy disk! He is credited with over 3000 inventions — more than Thomas Edison — and 16 patents to IBM. He is reputed to be one of the 5 greatest inventors of all time! So you can imagine that I considered it an honor not only to meet him and talk to him personally but to be asked by him after the conference to give my impression of his talk while he videotaped me!

Together with Japanese Maggie (center) and German Marina before the Gakushi Kaikan building in Tokyo, Feb. 13, 2002

Forty-seven people were in attendance, two of whom were foreigners, Marina and myself. The rest were Japanese. I was the only American present. Only five of the guests were female. Attendees were primarily businessmen and inventors.

Dr. NakaMats’ talk was of course in Japanese but I could follow it quite well including most of his jokes! I was excited at some of the things he had to say and responded with a good deal of obvious enthusiasm. This is probably why Dr. NakaMats wanted to video me after the meeting to record my comments. He often travels to America and so I could give him my response in English on video.

Here are some of the points that Dr. NakaMats spoke about:

• Love for others is the primary motivation of all his inventions — to help make things easier for others. He says that if mere profit were the only motivation, he would not have succeeded as he has. Because of his love for his mother, he invented a squeeze pump to make it easier for her to take soy sauce out of a deep jar. This invention came to become the hand pump that is used this very day to pump out kerosene from containers into portable heaters the Japanese use in their homes.
• The greatest long-term problem in Japan today is that of population decline! The average Japanese family only has 1.3 children. At this rate, in 50 years the population of Japanese will decrease to less than half or only 50 million people. This would further cripple the already ailing economy.
• The reason the Japanese people give for not having more children is the high cost of living and the ailing economy. Dr. NakaMats says this is a very poor excuse! I told him that a fellow missionary from Canada had 13 children! Yes, right in Japan! Dr. NakaMats was impressed.
• Japanese people are not working nearly as hard or as long as they used to. Americans have now surpassed them in work and diligence.
• Japanese pupils are not studying as hard as they used to. The quality of education has gone down.

One of the hard disks on my Desktop PC failed (probably due to heat), the one with all my data which was the Linux /home partition. To make matters worse, after buying a new HDD and installing Fedora Linux, by mistake during the installation process I deleted the main backup of that data which was on the second hard disk!! I could only do a partial retrieval of files from the failed hard disk. The file transfer would begin well but would stop though only 10% finished. I noticed the HDD got very hot in the process.

Because my most important files are also backed up on a laptop PC, I transferred them to my Desktop PC and had enough data to be able to continue my work. I lost about 150 gigabytes of non-essential files, 15 years of photos, hundreds of music MP3 files which totaled 3 gigabytes, my entire Documents folder of 17 years of documents, and other folders and files. None of the data was vitally important for me, but nevertheless I felt bad to suffer such a loss.

The next day just after waking up in the morning, I realized a way to keep the failed hard disk cool by putting it on a plastic bottle of cold water with a wet towel between the bottle and the hard disk to help transfer heat. Glory to God, it worked! I retrieved 100% of my photos and music!!

I bought a 120 gigabyte SDD to use as the root partition for my Linux OS, and used the healthy second HDD for my new /home partition. The boot time of my PC now is less than half what it was before. 🙂

My Pantheon Desktop on Fedora

Updated January 18, 2018. I first wrote this article for Fedora 25 but it works for later versions of Fedora as well. I’m currently using Fedora 27.

I read on a blog that the Pantheon Desktop was available for Fedora, and that it was a simple GUI that imitated the Mac OS interface. This is what I did to install it:

1. After logging into root with Terminal, I used gedit to create a file in /etc/yum.repos.d and named the file decathorpe-elementary-stable.repo

sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/decathorpe-elementary-stable.repo

2. I copied the following code into the file and saved it.

[decathorpe-elementary-stable]
name=Copr repo for elementary-stable owned by decathorpe
baseurl=https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/decathorpe/elementary-stable/fedora-$releasever-$basearch/
type=rpm-md
skip_if_unavailable=True
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/decathorpe/elementary-stable/pubkey.gpg
repo_gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
enabled_metadata=1

3. I ran the command in root:

# dnf install -y pantheon-session pantheon-desktop

After that I rebooted the PC and was able to log into Pantheon from the login screen.

I figured out how to add more apps to the bottom dock from the application menu in the upper left hand corner. Just find the app you want to add, right click on it, and left click on the Add to Dock option. I also removed the apps in the dock I didn’t want by just right clicking on the app and un-checking the Keep in Dock option.

However I did not like the default black background in open applications such as LibreOffice Writer and Bluefish. A tweak program to add different themes is available for Ubuntu, but not yet for Fedora. But by serendipity I found a command on https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/45/how-can-i-add-more-themes-on-elementary-tweaks that fixed my problem! Now open application backgrounds are white with black fonts!

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme “CoolestThemeOnEarth”

Later I learned that running gnome-tweak-tool can also change the default theme. Just run gnome-tweak-tool (you may need to install it first) and then go to Appearance and change the GTK+ dropdown box to the color scheme that suits you.

The cool thing about Pantheon is that there is no clutter. The bottom dock is always visible when no applications are open or when they are in smaller windows, but when an application is open in full screen, the dock with its icons disappears. It reappears again by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen.

And if I open another application from the applications menu, it will add the icon of the new running application to the dock! I really think this is cool! It’s better, in my opinion, than adding the open app icon to yet another menu bar as is done in Gnome. But it seems I can only open up one instance of Terminal at a time. This used to be the default in Gnome but I was able to change it with a tweak program. I still cannot figure out how to do that at the time of this post, but I don’t mind the default.

{Originally posted in December, 2014)

It was on December 13th, 2014, after 40 some years of study of eschatology, that I finally realized the 70th Week of Daniel is not part of the Endtime scenario! I am talking about Daniel 9:24-27 and especially the interpretation of verse 27.

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25  Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The “he” of verse 27 has been interpreted by most fundamental Bible teachers as being the Antichrist and the “covenant” as some kind of Endtime religious agreement the Antichrist makes with the various religions of the world to ensure world peace. But a pronoun is only understood when the noun or name of the person is first identified. That name is clearly written in verses 25 and 26 as “Messiah”! It is Jesus Christ who confirmed the Covenant, and that Covenant was the Covenant God made with Abraham! This is the very same Covenant in verse 4 of the same chapter of Daniel 9!

Daniel 9:4  ¶And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul clearly says that Covenant was confirmed by Christ!

Galatians 3:17  And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,…

Why would Christians today believe the 70th Week of Daniel is something that will be fulfilled in the Endtime? I’ll tell you why: It was a false doctrine planted into the Church by a Jesuit named Francisco Ribera to get the Protestants’ eyes off the Pope as being the Antichrist! It is one of the doctrines of Futurism as opposed to Historism. Allow me to paraphrase and simplify the teaching from http://www.champs-of-truth.com/books/3schools.htm

There are three methods of interpreting prophecy –the Praeterist, the Futurist and the Historical (or continuous).

The Praeterist maintains that the prophecies in Revelation (and Daniel) have already been fulfilled.

The Futurist interpreters refer to events which are yet to come.

The Historical or Continuous expositors believe the Revelation a progressive history of the church from the first century to the end of time.

So great a hold did the conviction that the Papacy was the Antichrist gain upon the minds of men (who held the historicist view), that Rome at last saw she must bestir herself, and try, by putting forth other systems of interpretation, to counteract the identification of the Papacy with the Antichrist.

Accordingly, toward the close of the century of the Reformation, two of the most learned (Jesuit) doctors set themselves to the task, each endeavoring by different means to accomplish the same end, namely, that of diverting men’s minds from perceiving the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Antichrist in the papal system. The Jesuit Alcazar devoted himself to bring into prominence the preterist method of interpretation,…and thus endeavored to show that the prophecies of Antichrist were fulfilled before the popes ever ruled in Rome, and therefore could not apply to the Papacy.

“On the other hand, the Jesuit Ribera tried to set aside the application of these prophecies to the papal power by bringing out the futurist system, which asserts that these prophecies refer properly, not to the career of the Papacy, but to some future supernatural individual, who is yet to appear, and continue in power for three and a half years. Thus, as Alford says, the Jesuit Ribera, about A.D. 1580, may be regarded as the founder of the futurist system of modern times.

…It is a matter for deep regret that those who advocate the futurist system at the present day, Protestants as they are for the most part, are really playing into the hands of Rome, and helping to screen the Papacy from detection as the Antichrist.” Rev. Joseph Tanner, Daniel and the Revelation, pp. 16, 17.

I learned about Jesuit Ribera and his Futurist view from 2 or 3 years before the final revelation on December 13, 2014, and I knew the reason he created this view was to get people’s eyes off of the Pope and the Papacy as being Antichrist, but until December 13, 2014 for some reason, I never connected it to the 70th Week of Daniel. It was thanks to my new friends, Michael Adams, Walt Stickel, and especially to David Nikao’s article, “The 70th Week Of Daniel Prince Deception” that opened my eyes to the truth!

Because Jesus fulfilled the 70th Week of Daniel, several things I’ve held as truth about the last 7 years before Jesus returns fall flat.

• There is no more need for a rebuilt Temple of Solomon and the Antichrist desecrating it.
• There is no more need for the Antichrist to make some kind of 7 year religious covenant, pact or agreement.
• There is no more need for a 7 year final reign of the Antichrist with 3.5 years of tribulation after he breaks the so called covenant.

Wow! What a difference from my former mindset!

Christians have already had two thousand years of tribulation ever since the stoning of Stephen in Acts chapter 7! The Devil has always tried to kill God’s children from the time of Cain killing Abel!

Christians have always lived in the time of Antichrist. First John 2:18 makes that very clear.

1 John 2:18  ¶Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

The Abomination of Desolation

Update on Dec. 19th, 2014: Today I saw something for the first time in the Word that thrills me to pieces! If we compare the 3 synoptic Gospels of Matthew Mark and Luke which talks about the “the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate” of Daniel 9:27, Luke clearly identifies what the Abomination of Desolation is!

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mark 13:14 ¶But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Luke 21:20 ¶And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Luke chapter 21 is talking about the exact same events as Matthew 24 and Mark 13. The abomination was the Roman army (abomination to the Jews) and the desolation was what the Roman army did to Jerusalem! God’s very Word tells us exactly what the abomination of desolation is!

I hear that it was only the Christians in Jerusalem who escaped the wrath of the Romans in 70 A.D. when the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Why were the Christians the only ones who fled from Jerusalem and Judaea? Because they heeded Jesus’ warning written in Luke 21:21, and fled into the mountains! “then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:” — Luke 21:21. Notice it says “Judaea”? I never saw the meaning of this verse so clearly before!

A big thank you to David Nikao who pointed this out to me in his article The Abomination Of Desolation Deception

I now see the Endtime scenario as a world getting more and more darker in deception. It’s pretty dark now considering that evangelical Christians think the person who confirms the covenant with many for one week is the Antichrist when it’s actually Jesus Christ! Talk about delusion! And folks, it originated from a Jesuit by the name of Francesco Ribera circa 1580 a.d. See also http://amazingdiscoveries.org/RT_encyclopedia_Futurism_Jesuit_Ribera

The information on this page may be hard for a Christian to accept without knowing more background information. A really great article that encapusulates all the important information you need to know is The Evil Empire of Jesuit Futurism If that link ever gets broken, here is a text file you can download.

Oh my oh my! I think I been hearing incorrect teaching for 40 some years. I still do not believe my pastor David Berg was purposely trying to deceive me. He was the leader of the REVOLUTION FOR JESUS in America, which was also known as the Children of God. No matter what you have heard about David Berg or the Children of God, later known as “The Family”, now called “The Family International” (TFI), I can testify as a member of TFI that we have NEVER acknowledged the Roman Pontiff as our supreme leader. My leader is Jesus Christ of the King James Version of the New Testament, the Word of God who became flesh.

John 1:1  ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Spectators standing before Shiratama waterfall

On January 13, 2011, I attended a traditional local ceremony at Shiratama waterfall in Niigata Prefecture. I’ve been to this waterfall several times in the summer to escape the heat, but this is the first time to see it in the snowy mid winter, and the very first time to see people stand under it! It’s actually a religious ceremony called misogi.

Six men and two women standing under the Shiratama Waterfall in mid winter.

Misogi (禊) is a Japanese mountain ascetic practice of ritual purification. This may be undertaken through exhaustive activities such as extended periods without sleep, breath training, standing under waterfalls, or other methods. Water-misogi may be likened to dousing practices.

My new friends from 2014 have often used the theological term “dispensationalism” in their conversations with me but until recently the meaning of this word has been nebulous in my mind. I think it most Christians today don’t know what it means either even though they believe the doctrines that sprang from it.

Below is text edited from http://regal-network.com/dispensationalism/

The doctrine of dispensationalism makes a distinction between Israel and the Church. It stresses a literal fulfillment of Old Testament promises to Israel.

The notion that God has one plan for “ethnic Jews” and another plan for the Church was utterly rejected by the “Prince of Preachers” Charles Spurgeon.

Distinctions have been drawn by certain exceedingly wise men (measured by their own estimate of themselves), between the people of God who lived before the coming of Christ, and those who lived afterwards. We have even heard it asserted that those who lived before the coming of Christ do not belong to the church of God! We never know what we shall hear next, and perhaps it is a mercy that these absurdities are revealed at one time, in order that we may be able to endure their stupidity without dying of amazement. Why, every child of God in every place stands on the same footing; the Lord has not some children best beloved, some second-rate offspring, and others whom he hardly cares about. These who saw Christ’s day before it came, had a great difference as to what they knew, and perhaps in the same measure a difference as to what they enjoyed while on earth meditating upon Christ; but they were all washed in the same blood, all redeemed with the same ransom price, and made members of the same body. Israel in the covenant of grace is not natural Israel, but all believers in all ages. Before the first advent, all the types and shadows all pointed one way —they pointed to Christ, and to him all the saints looked with hope. Those who lived before Christ were not saved with a different salvation to that which shall come to us. They exercised faith as we must; that faith struggled as ours struggles, and that faith obtained its reward as ours shall. Charles H. Spurgeon, “Jesus Christ Immutable,” in The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit

Once you understand how the doctrine of dispensationalism originated, you will hopefully reject all the false doctrines that spring from it. These false doctrines include:

• A distinction between the Church and ethnic Israel.
• The Antichrist is a single individual in the Endtime, and will probably be a Jew.
• The Antichrist sets up a final world government and one world religion during his rule on earth which is from 7 years just before the return of Christ.
• The Antichrist makes a 7 year peace pact with the Jews which allows them to rebuild the Temple of Solomon.
• There will be a secret rapture of the Saints just before the start of the Great Tribulation which is starts 3.5 years into the Antichrist’s reign.

My friends, these doctrines all sprang from the Roman Catholic Church! The Vatican wants you to think the Antichrist will be a Jew because then you will not think of the Pope as the biblical Antichrist — which is what the early Protestant reformers used to think. The doctrine of a final 7 year reign of the Antichrist is based on a false interpretation of Daniel 9:27. That false interpretation is also the bases of the 7 year peace pact doctrine with the Jews and the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon.

I have written extensively about Daniel 9:27 and its true interpretation on this website.

This video clip sums up what I’ve been trying to share with all my friends in the past year or so: Any person who claims to be a “truth-teller” but who receives little or no opposition to his message may in fact be a disinformation agent of the New World Order, the very group they claim to be exposing!

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. –2 Timothy 3:12

The rule of thumb I go by to know who is telling the truth or not is how much opposition they have received because of their message. Any highly funded, high profile radio talk host or speaker who has been in operation for years without a significant concerted campaign against them that seeks to smear and discredit them is, in my mind, suspect of being a disinformation agent, also known as a “gatekeeper.” Can I say this any clearer? If so, somebody please give me a suggested alternative in the comments section of this post.

Do you know of any high profile Christian evangelists of whom the mass media has actually praised? I know of one. The rule above applies to them as well. If they have never been persecuted, something is wrong with them. They are tools of the NWO to lead people away from the Truth.

The NWO plan is to discredit all religions, and especially the teachings of Jesus Christ! The only way to know truth and have a balanced and correct perspective of the world and reality is to know exactly what the Bible has to say, not just what some preacher says that it says.

I heard him claim that the earthquake in NE Japan on March 11, 2011 was caused by the Illuminati in revenge towards the Japanese government for not lending them money. Ha ha! The Illuminati does not run out of money!

Fritz Springmeier

Most of the information in his book, “13 Bloodlines of the Illuminati” was given to him by a CIA agent, Mark Philips! He may be sincere but misled. Why do I think so? He doesn’t give the Vatican / Jesuit connection to the conspiracy.

Texe Marrs

I used to like him but because he defends his friend Alex Jones and because he blames Jews / Zionists for all the evils in the world even though he knows about the power of the Vatican / Jesuits, I think he is deceived. He sounds sincere but because Alex Jones is his buddy, I’m not interested in listening to him anymore. That is not to say that everyone on the Alex Jones show is disinfo.

Eric Jon Phelps

I give him credit for first pointing me to the Jesuit / Vatican connection. However after reading parts of his book Vatican Assassins and finding errors, wrong conclusions, dispensationalism, racist viewpoints, and because he attacks viciously anybody who doesn’t agree with him, I think he is either misled or actually working for the very people he claims to expose! He called F. Tupper Saussy who wrote “Rulers of Evil” a Jesuit coadjutor just because Saussy’s conclusions differed significantly with his! Well guess what? Phelps is still alive and Saussy has passed on to his reward only a few years after he wrote his book! Was Saussy martyred for the truth?

This list is by no means comprehensive. It’s basically the people I used to listen to but now reject as truth tellers. I don’t call them all evil or spreading disinfo with intentional ill will. They just may be misled.

This year (2015) it has come to my attention that there is an explosion on Youtube of people claiming the earth is flat! They are deceived! If any of them are also people who claim to expose the NWO conspiracy, I would not listen to anything they have to say! One man 77 years old who believes the earth is flat and that the Jews run the world mocked me for suggesting to him that it is really the Roman Catholic church behind it all. I mean, what can you tell a 77 year old guy who believes the earth is flat based on “extensive research” as he puts it, and thinks he knows more than me? 🙂

Basically a good rule of thumb for me is anybody who doesn’t talk about the Vatican / Jesuit role in the New World Order, and especially if they go no higher than Jews / Zionists / Rothschilds / International bankers, I would not listen to them. They cannot possibly see the entire picture. Only those who see today in the light of what the Bible tells us can see it. And where does the Bible say the center of Satan’s power in the world is?

Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

What was the great city that ruled over the kings of the earth in the Apostle John’s day? Rome! Rome! Rome! Unless you understand that ROME is STILL in charge, you are not looking at the conspiracy from truly a Biblical point of view. By “Rome” I am referring to the city / state of the Vatican, not metropolitan Rome. This is my opinion for what it’s worth, but I do not stand alone. Many godly men before me exposed the power of the Roman Pope and his church. You can find a list of resources on this site.

Infowars disinfo agents

If you are a true Bible-believing Protestant Christian and a person who really wants to serve God and promote the Kingdom of Christ on earth, you might also know that the most popular preachers and evangelists today, the ones who have the biggest churches, are the ones who are giving a “feel good about yourself” type of message and not telling the whole truth. The Bible says.

2 Timothy 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

An example of one of the “fables” being preached today in evangelical churches is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine. Many Christians today believe the Antichrist will arise only during the last 7 years of man’s rule on earth just before Jesus Christ returns. They believe they will not experience tribulation during this time because they will be raptured to heaven just before the Antichrist comes on the scene. And what gives them reason to believe this? It all starts with the wrong interpretation of the final Week of Daniel written in Daniel 9:27! For more information on that, please see, The 70th Week of Daniel Delusion on this website.

From my observation, the most popular churches with the largest congregations are the ones with a pastor who has compromised in some way and is not teaching the whole truth what their congregation needs to know. Some examples from the past are Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, and the present are Joel Osteen and Rick Warren. None of them will give you the truth about who the Antichrist is. They themselves do not know. And why? Because they were deceived by a doctrine cooked up by Jesuit Francesco Ribera in 1580 which teaches that the Antichrist will fulfill the prophecy of Daniel 9:27. For your information, none of the Protestant Reformers of the 16th century believed that. All Protestant Bible scholars up to the 19th century, believed that the last 7 years of the final Week of Daniel was already fulfilled by Jesus Christ!

So can we take the principle of “the most popular preachers with the largest congregations are the ones not preaching the whole truth” and apply them to websites? I believe we can! How? Just look up the Alexa rating of a website and see how low the number is! The lower the number, the most popular it is. I’m talking not only about Christian websites, but also alternative media ones. Examples:

Let me tell you, any website that is within the top 100,000 Alexa rating is a high volume website that costs a lot of money to run every month! None of them are run on cheap shared hosting like this one. I pay $210 USD a year for hosting this site. That including the yearly price of my domain name is $20 USD a year. The Alexa rating for James Japan is presently 4,240,750. People like Alex Jones can afford to have dedicated servers costing probably thousands of dollars a year. You won’t hear the whole truth from Alex Jones. He will not tell you about the Vatican / Jesuit connection to the conspiracy to take over the world. And you won’t know what really happened from www.whatreallyhappened.com It will not give you the Vatican / Jesuit connection. It will go no higher than the International Banking cartel and point the finger at the Jews as the source of the world’s problems. I used to believe that but now I consider it disinfo.

To sum up: The most popular websites with good Alexa ratings will not tell you the whole truth. All the truth telling websites I value, the ones who tell me the truth of the Vatican, the Jesuits, and who the Antichrist is are ones with Alexa ratings of a million or more. Examples

This list is by no means comprehensive. There are more good websites out there, just not very many.

If you use Firefox as your default browser, you can add an extension that will show the Alexa ratings for every website you visit. If you don’t use Firefox, you can go directly to the Alexa website at http://www.alexa.com/ and enter the website there.

I’m not saying every website with a good Alexa rating is disinfo. There are websites well in the top 100,000 that give good information such as http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ which will give you the schedules for trains in Japan. It has an Alexa rating of 44.995. I’m talking especially about websites that are supposed to give you biblical, historical, or political truth. Sites such as these that are ranked high in Alexa are the ones I am leery of. And of course sites with a poor Alexa rating does not necessarily mean they are good.

Just remember, the whole truth will never be popular with the world. Jesus said so.

John 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The bars in the graph show the distance in kilometers I hitchhiked in Japan each year from 2005 to the present end of 2017. This year was 18,033 kilometers or 11,271 miles which brought my total distance from August 2, 2003 (when I actually started adding distances) to now up to 250,452 kilometers or 156,535 miles. This saved me approximately $32,850 in train costs. My best year was 2014 of 28,352 kilometers or 17,720 miles.The total number of vehicles is 4087. Of these 79 cars were young mothers with little kids without their father or an adult male with them! Only in Japan this can happen!!
