I have many people
write me concerning
the coming
tribulation and one
of their family
members involved in
the New Age
movement.
A lot of the
time, it involves a
young person who has
been influenced by
this world and
thinking that they
can be a “soldier”
to battle the coming
One World Government
that is shaping up
and headed by some
force called the
“Illuminati” or an
elite group of
manipulators of this
present age. First
we need to define
what this New Age
Movement is grounded
upon.
If you look
up the definition of
New Age via even
Wikipedia, you find
this about the
movement:
The New Age
movement is a
Western
spiritual
movement that
developed in the
second half of the
20th century. Its
central precepts
have been described
as "drawing on both
Eastern and Western
spiritual and
metaphysical
traditions and then
infusing them with
influences from
self-help
and motivational
psychology,
holistic health,
parapsychology,
consciousness
research and
quantum physics".[2]
It aims to create
"a spirituality
without borders or
confining dogmas"
that is inclusive
and
pluralistic.[3]
Another of its
primary traits is
holding to "a
holistic worldview,"[4]
thereby emphasising
that the
Mind, Body and
Spirit
are interrelated[1]
and that there is a
form of
Monism
and unity throughout
the universe.[5]
It further attempts
to create "a
worldview that
includes both
science and
spirituality"[6]
and thereby embraces
a number of forms of
science
and
pseudoscience.
People who believe
this apostacy
worship the earth,
and call it Mother
Earth or some other
pagan belief that
denies the Son of
God.
Romans:
1:20 For
the invisible things
of him from the
creation of the
world are clearly
seen, being
understood by the
things that are
made, even his
eternal power and
Godhead; so that
they are without
excuse:
1:21 Because
that, when they knew
God, they glorified
him not as God,
neither were
thankful; but became
vain in their
imaginations, and
their foolish heart
was darkened.
1:22 Professing
themselves to be
wise, they became
fools,
1:23 And
changed the glory of
the uncorruptible
God into an image
made like to
corruptible man, and
to birds, and
fourfooted beasts,
and creeping things.
1:24 Wherefore
God also gave them
up to uncleanness
through the lusts of
their own hearts, to
dishonour their own
bodies between
themselves:
1:25 Who
changed the truth of
God into a lie, and
worshipped and
served the creature
more than the
Creator, who is
blessed for ever.
Amen.
Satan is a master of
deceiving mankind to
look unto themselves
as being in control
of their own destiny
in regards to events
on this earth. They
look for a utopian
society based on
pagan beliefs of the
created and
worshiping the earth
and the stars that
they can see,
instead of the
Creator who made all
things on earth and
placed them under
man’s control. God
made the heavens and
those things in them
to govern the
processes of
seasons, day and of
night for the
betterment of the
creation made on
earth, including His
supreme creation,
man.
THE PAGAN INFLUENCE
ON OUR CHILDREN
Young people are the
most easily
influenced by dark
forces that are
rampant and
abounding now, as
Satan knows he has
but a short
time, as even he
knows what the Word
of
God says, so
his demon horde is
working overtime to
twist men’s minds
into believing a
lie, to the
damnation of their
souls.
Sadly, young people
that are highly
impressionable by
older pagans who
wish to warp the
mind of the coming
youth into what
Satan wishes them to
believe. They look
to creating a heaven
on earth, to fight
against a coming
“revolution”
involving a One
World Government,
and a false One
World Religion. They
could not be more
mistaken.
These pagans, young
and old, believe
that they can use
the powers that be
of mysticism and
their misguided
beliefs to change
what is coming upon
the earth. I counsel
people that adhere
to this apostasy
that there will be
no heaven on earth,
this side of the
coming of our Lord
and Savior Jesus
Christ.
There are many forms
of this utopian
society, or heaven
on earth, that are
joined to this
movement known as
“New Age”. If you
look online and
Google “new age
movement” you will
find many examples
of
kinship
between New Age,
“Dominionism
and Kingdom Now,”
theology. How are
these related?
DOMINIONISM, KINGDOM
NOW, AND THE NEW AGE
MOVEMENT
"There has been a
significant rise of
cross-pollination
between evangelical
dominionists and New
Age Theosophists.41
Since the late 1970s
there has been a
closeted
fraternization
between dominionists
and Theosophists for
the purpose of
finding common
ground for the
future. Both groups
seek to bring in a
"Christ"
(Can you say
Anti-Christ?)
figure to solve the
world's problems.
Both groups have
grand utopian plans
to create "peace" on
earth. During the
past decade, the two
groups began
borrowing doctrinal
terminologies from
one another and
working on common
theologies. The
events of 9/11 gave
a new impetus to
this effort. Jay
Gary, who has been a
leader within all
three sects of
dominionism has had
close ties with the
Theosophists and is
adopting new
theologies,
including a hybrid
of preterism called
"transmillenialism."
Bob Buford of
Leadership Network
... has been working
since the mid-1990s
to create a youth
culture based on
"emergent"
theologies called
the Emergent Church
- a mixture of New
Age paganism,
eastern mysticism
and evangelical
dominionism. And
Patriotic
Dominionist leaders
have long-standing,
close ties with the
Rev. Sun Myung Moon,
who has his own
messianic kingdom
ambitions.
(Lighthouse Trails
Research Project)
That should give you
warning bells right
away when you hear
the names of Sun
Myung Moon, or Bob
Buford working in
the Emergent Church
heresy that even
denies the divinity
of Jesus Christ.
Dominionism teaches:
The Gospel of
Salvation is
achieved by setting
up the "Kingdom of
God" as a literal
and physical kingdom
to be "advanced" on
Earth in the present
age. Some
dominionists liken
the New Testament
Kingdom to the Old
Testament Israel in
ways that justify
taking up the sword,
or other methods of
punitive judgment,
to war against
enemies of their
kingdom.
Mike Oppenheimer had
it about right when
he wrote:
“There has been a
change of focus and
ministry over the
years in our
preparing for His
coming. The Bible
teaches that the
church is to be
taken to a place
that He told us
about almost 2,000
years ago (Jn.14
that we will be with
Him where He is in
heaven; He is coming
to take us to the
heavenly Jerusalem).
Instead the strategy
has changed to other
desires replacing
the church’s hope of
heaven. Now many are
saying - we must
make it change, we
are now in charge to
bring the kingdom to
earth. When Peter
writes of their
saying the fathers
fell asleep, it has
to do with those of
faith who have died,
we can safely assume
this is connected to
the awaiting
resurrection. The
day when the saints
(bodies) who died in
Christ will arise
from the grave.
If we are at the end
of the age and
threshold of the
rapture of the
church and the
resurrection of the
saints and the
tribulation taking
place (though there
various views of
which takes place
first), then those
who have accepted
this new paradigm of
kingdom now
dominionism are
actually fulfilling
Biblical prophecy!
At certain times in
the past individual
groups sat around
waiting for the
rapture to occur to
solve all their
problems. Today many
have ridiculed the
hope of being taken
to heaven replacing
it with a new hope
of the Church being
called to take over
the world and
establish the
kingdom of God on
earth. Both are
wrong views. Jesus
never told us to
wait for the rapture
but to be busy
working doing what
he told us, so we
are found doing His
Fathers will when He
comes again. On the
other hand the focus
has changed from our
winning souls to be
citizens in heaven,
to an immediate
earthly concern.
This involves social
agendas of cleaning
up society,
christianizing the
world and even
delivering cities
and nations of
demons by spiritual
warfare; called
spiritual mapping,
done by binding
territorial spirits,
by now I’m sure you
have heard of these
terms.
(The
end times 'paradigm
shift )
I see a larger
danger in all this
blending of the New
Age movement,
Kingdom Now, and
Dominionism. They
are relying on
themselves, instead
of God. They look to
the earth, as New
Agers do, and
worship the
creation, or believe
that they can be
spiritual enough
that they can usher
in the Kingdom of
God. They are wrong
on both accounts.
What I see in these
heresies is the
opening up of the
acceptance of the
coming One World
Government and the
ruling king, known
as the Anti-Christ.
Why do I say that?
One reason only and
that is they deny
the power of the
Holy Spirit, the
salvation of Jesus
Christ that is
obtained by no other
entity created by
sinful men to
replace what God has
planned for men
through His Son,
Jesus the
Christ/Messiah.
I counseled those
who are concerned
about their family
being involved in
these movements that
they are opening
themselves up to
being denied being a
part of the removal
of the church in the
near future. They
look to this year of
2012 of being
a paradigm shift in
things on this earth
in either economics,
environmentalism,
spiritual warfare,
or the coming
Apocalypse called
the end of the age.
They rely on a pagan
belief known as the
Mayan Calendar that
2012 will bring
catastrophe to the
inhabitants of the
earth, and they must
fight the
“Illuminati” and the
elite of this world
to usher in a New
Age of utopian
existence. What they
will do is ghastly
to ponder. They will
throw themselves
headlong into the
coming Tribulation,
as they have NOT
believed in the One
God has sent:
John,
3:36 He
that believeth on
the Son hath
everlasting life:
and he that
believeth not the
Son shall not see
life; but the wrath
of God abideth on
him.
John 6:29,
6:28 They
said therefore unto
him, What must we
do, that we may work
the works of God?
6:29 Jesus
answered and said
unto them, This is
the work of God,
that ye believe
on him whom he hath
sent.
How many have Jesus
Christ in their
heart that believe
in these heresies?
God knows, but it is
direct conflict with
the Word of God so I
fear for their
beliefs in wrong
ideologies. If they
believe in creation
of this earth
manifested as their
god, as
environmentalist
clearly do, then God
is not in them as
they may not have
the Son, which in
Him is all life. I
see a greater danger
in the near future.
If they miss the
calling of Jesus
Christ and do not
believe in the
Creator as
proclaimed by John:
1:1 In
the beginning was
the Word, and the
Word was with God,
and the Word was
God.
1:2 The
same was in the
beginning with God.
1:3 All
things were made
through him; and
without him was not
anything made that
hath been made.
1:4 In
him was life; and
the life was the
light of men.
If they refuse to
believe on the only
begotten Son of God
who came into this
world to save a
world that could NOT
save itself, then
they are condemned
to endure the most
horrifying time on
this earth, know as
the Great
Tribulation.
These
misguided
individuals will
have, what I
perceive as only
two choices
should they miss the
only opportunity to
be removed from the
coming Wrath of God.
Remember 1st
Thessalonians
chapter 5 and hold
onto it with both
spiritual hands:
5:9 For
God hath
not appointed us
to wrath,
but to obtain
salvation by our
Lord Jesus Christ,
5:10 Who
died for us, that,
whether we wake or
sleep, we should
live together with
him.
5:11 Wherefore
comfort yourselves
together, and edify
one another, even as
also ye do.
Speaking to the two
choices that I just
mentioned before
these verses, which
describes the coming
tribulation, and the
coming wrath that
envelopes every man,
woman and child that
is so foolish to
believe not in the
Only Begotten Son of
God, let us examine
those two choices.
1st
choice:
To believe that the
coming Anti-Christ
is the leader of the
New Age/Kingdom
Now/Dominionism of a
Utopian society that
will usher in a era
of peace. These
folks look for a
leader, a “savior”
of mankind. It will
be a short lived
false peace brought
on by a false
messiah. They will
be ripe to believe
the lie, as all
truth has been
extinguished from
the earth, as the
Church has made an
exit, stage right.
(or should I say
“stage up”?). They
will have no
strength, no faith,
or foundation to
believe otherwise.
All who are cast
into the coming
tribulation will
most likely take a
mark of loyalty to
the government that
rules this earth,
and its leader, the
Anti-Christ.
Revelation:
13:14 And
deceiveth them that
dwell on the earth
by the means of
those miracles which
he had power to do
in the 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 a
sword, and did live.
13:15 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.
13:16 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:
13:17 And
that no man might
buy or sell, save he
that had the mark,
or the name of the
beast, or the number
of his name.
13:18 Here
is wisdom. Let him
that hath
understanding count
the number of the
beast: for it is the
number of a man; and
his number is Six
hundred threescore
and six.
This choice is to
damn your soul to
the lake of fire,
designed for the
devil and his
fallen
angels. Revelation:
14:9 And
the third angel
followed them,
saying with a loud
voice, If any man
worship the beast
and his image, and
receive his mark in
his forehead, or in
his hand,
14:10 The
same shall drink of
the wine of the
wrath of God, which
is poured out
without mixture into
the cup of his
indignation; and he
shall be tormented
with fire and
brimstone in the
presence of the holy
angels, and in the
presence of the
Lamb:
14:11 And
the smoke of their
torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever:
and they have no
rest day nor night,
who worship the
beast and his image,
and whosoever
receiveth the mark
of his name.
2nd
CHOICE
This is the only
real choice a person
has to make it into
the realms of glory,
or the coming
Kingdom of God after
the Tribulation
starts.
Unfortunately, this
will apply in the
majority to the
nation of Israel.
Few Gentiles will
find the truth, or
believe what the
144,000 Jewish
evangelist preach
and what is
prophesied by the
Two Witnesses from
the Temple Mount and
the newly built
Jewish Temple. I
believe that the
coming Tribulation
is designed for two
things only, right
along with the two
choices I’ve listed
and that is:
A.
To remove all
rebellion from this
planet through the
pouring out of the
wrath of God onto a
unbelieving world
full of the sins
likened to Sodom and
Gomorrah through
environmental
disasters and divine
judgment that will
destroy 2/3 of all
living life on this
earth, including
men, women, and
children. Not to
mention the zeal
that the Anti-Christ
and the False
Prophet will pursue
to track down any
and everyone who
does not take their
mark.
B.
To refine Israel, as
gold and silver is
refined in the fire.
Israel will be
purged of her
unbelief. She will
become close and
personal with the
God of Heaven, until
she cries out aloud,
as Jesus proclaimed
to them in Luke 13:
13:34 O
Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, which
killest the
prophets, and
stonest them that
are sent unto thee;
how often would I
have gathered thy
children together,
as a hen doth gather
her brood under her
wings, and ye would
not!
13:35 Behold,
your house is left
unto you desolate:
and verily I say
unto you,
Ye shall not see
me, until the time
come when ye shall
say, Blessed is he
that cometh in the
name of the Lord.
And Malachi
proclaimed the
coming trial by fire
of the nation of
Israel:
3:2 But
who may abide the
day of his coming?
and who shall stand
when he appeareth?
for he is like a
refiner's fire, and
like fullers' soap:
3:3 And
he shall sit as a
refiner and purifier
of silver: and he
shall purify the
sons of Levi, and
purge them as gold
and silver, that
they may offer unto
the LORD an offering
in righteousness.
3:4 Then
shall the offering
of Judah and
Jerusalem be
pleasant unto the
LORD, as in the days
of old, and as in
former years.
3:5 And
I will come near to
you to judgment; and
I will be a swift
witness against the
sorcerers, and
against the
adulterers, and
against false
swearers, and
against those that
oppress the hireling
in his wages, the
widow, and the
fatherless, and that
turn aside the
stranger from his
right, and fear not
me, saith the LORD
of hosts.
3:6 For
I am the LORD, I
change not;
therefore ye sons of
Jacob are not
consumed.
Zechariah spoke of
what Jesus
proclaimed and all
Israelites left
alive will recognize
their Messiah,
instead of this
false messiah who
has deceived the
world and the
preceding and
following verses
will trigger His
coming to set up His
Kingdom on earth:
12:10 And
I will pour upon the
house of David, and
upon the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, the
spirit of grace and
of supplications:
and they shall look
upon me whom they
have pierced, and
they shall mourn for
him, as one mourneth
for his only son,
and shall be in
bitterness for him,
as one that is in
bitterness for his
firstborn.
That’s it folks.
Those two choices
are what will
transpire in the
Tribulation.
Extinguishing all
rebellion of
unbelievers, and the
refining of Israel
by fire, is what
those 7 ghastly
years will produce
and emerge before
Jesus sets up His
Kingdom upon His
final return to
earth.
WHAT IS
IN STORE FOR
YOU?
The choices are
clear in the above
passages. You will
be left without God
in your life, and
most likely will
accept the mark of
loyalty to the Beast
power and live, for
a short while until
Jesus comes to
destroy all
rebellion, including
you. OR:
You will believe the
message of the
Jewish evangelist
and by grace and
mercy, believe in
the Son of God that
takes away the sin
of the world. To
believe then, will
put a mark on your
person. Instead of a
mark of loyalty, you
will be marked for
death. Many will die
of the nation of
Israel, but a
remnant will be
saved, but of a
gentile it is your
immediate death
sentence by the
authorities to
demand complete
allegiance to their
idolatry.
Chances are
great that you will
believe the first
choice and be lost
FOREVER.
Man has been given a
clear cut choice.
The choice is not
hard and the yoke is
easy this side of
the Tribulation.
John 3:
3:16 For
God so loved the
world, that he gave
his only begotten
Son, that whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting
life.
3:17 For
God sent not his Son
into the world to
condemn the world;
but that the world
through him might be
saved.
3:18 He
that believeth on
him is not
condemned: but he
that believeth not
is condemned
already,
because he hath not
believed in the name
of the only begotten
Son of God.
3:19 And
this is the
condemnation, that
light is come into
the world, and men
loved darkness
rather than light,
because their deeds
were evil.
Men look unto
themselves to find
salvation in their
own deceitful
hearts. There is
none and there will
be no pardon when
standing before the
Great White Throne
judgment of God in
the cusp of
eternity:
Revelation,
20:11 And
I saw a great white
throne, and him that
sat on it, from
whose face the earth
and the heaven fled
away; and there was
found no place for
them.
20:12 And
I saw the dead,
small and great,
stand before God;
and the books were
opened: and another
book was opened,
which is the book of
life: and the dead
were judged out of
those things which
were written in the
books, according to
their works.
20:13 And
the sea gave up the
dead which were in
it; and death and
hell delivered up
the dead which were
in them: and they
were judged every
man according to
their works.
20:14 And
death and hell were
cast into the lake
of fire. This is the
second death.
20:15 And
whosoever was not
found written in the
book of life was
cast into the lake
of fire.
If you stand before
God the Father,
clothed in anything
but the righteous of
His Son Jesus
Christ, then you
will have no defense
of good intentions,
no excuse, and
nothing but eternal
death awaits you. No
manner of heresy
that proclaims
anything but Jesus
Christ and Him
crucified, raised
from the dead, and
coming again to rule
and reign for a 1000
years in it’s lead
up to eternity, will
be found in these
books opened.
What are these
books? They are the
books of your bible
that speak of the
coming Messiah who
did come and was
slain.
Did you find Him?
Did you seek His
face? Did you accept
His free gift of
grace and mercy?
If not, I call upon
you now to make that
decision for Jesus
Christ. Accept Him
today as your Lord
and Savior. Believe
in your heart that
Jesus is God.
Romans:
10:10 For
with the heart man
believeth unto
righteousness; and
with the mouth
confession is made
unto salvation.
10:11 For
the scripture saith,
Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be
ashamed.
10:12 For
there is no
difference between
the Jew and the
Greek: for the same
Lord over all is
rich unto all that
call upon him.
10:13 For
whosoever shall call
upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.
When you, by grace
and understanding
that through His
Word, believe that
there is no other
way to come to God
the Father except
through His Son
accepting
Him by faith,
then leave the
heresies of this
world to the ash
heap of history and
turn away from such
sorcery. God will
honor you and accept
you as a son, just a
soon as you profess
His Son in your life
and live the life He
wishes for you.
