(Scroll Down for Pts. I & II)
New Age Mystics past and present have written books proclaiming that the world is being prepared for a large-scale initiation rite or union with "the Christ". Wendy B. Howard of Endtime Ministries recently atttended the "Frist Religion and Cultural Diversity Conference" in Melbourne, Australia. She reported the attendeance of manay religious dignitaries of global reputation who have succumbed to the Gnostic influence of Matthew Fox.
"At Parliament House in Melbourne, I spoke with two high-level priests of the Anglican Church, Archbishop Peter Hollingworth, who is a committee member of the New World Order's Commission for the Future, and the Asst. bishop of Perth, David Murray-both are avid followers of the New Age ex-Dominican, Matthew Fox. Fox, who teaches that htere wasn o Fall, no Redemption, and celbrates earth worship, adores motehr nature and embraces occultism, and believes in mass murder by the 'shrinking' of the population of the earth! David Spangler who advocates that all the people of the Earth should undergo the Luciferian initation!"
And what is the Gospel according to David Spangler?
"Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness [i.e., the proper balance between the + & - sides of the pantheistic "Force-God"--Osiris & Isis, the alchemical gold & silver, the Flame and the Water, --"the Knowledge of Good AND Evil"-F4] and as we move into a New Age...each of us is in some way brought to that point which I term the Luciferic Initiation, the particular doorway through which the individual must pass if he is to come full into the presence of his [Lucifer's] light and wholeness. Lucifer prepares man in all ways for the experience of Christhood...The light that reveals to us the presence of the Christ... comes from Lucifer. He is the light-giver, he is aptly named the MORNING STAR because it is his light htat heralds for man the dawn of a great consciousness...He stands...as the Great Initator...the one who hand the soul over to the Christ." ********************************************* (To see "The Christ" of New Age thought-F4) http://www.shareintl.org http://www.maitreya.org ********************************************* In evangelical circles, Lucifer is acquiring a new image. Modern Bibles now designate Lucifer the "Morning Star", replacing his true identity as "SON OF the morning" in Isaiah 14:12. Th NIV and NASV also dispense with "Day Star" in II Peter 1:19, encouraging readers to wait "...until the day dawn and the morning star arise in your hearts".
Jay Gary is a dynamic leader in ministries such as Campus Crusade for Christ, Billy Graham's Lausanne Committee for Worldwide Evangelization, GCOWE, March For Jesus, and YWAM. Addressing an Adopt A People Cosultation in 1994, Gary recommended books of David Spangler-referring to this Luciferian as "one of the best".
One speaker at the recent Melbourne conference acually identified the Masonic orders as the hidden hand guiding mankind into the church of Lucifer: "One of the long standing goals of the Masonic New World Order seems finally within grasp: its one-world church, in the making for 150 years, is about to become institutionalized as the United Religions Organization- the UR."
In "The Reappearnace of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom", Benjamin Creme stated, "Through the Masonic intiation and other esoteric groups will come the process of initiation. In this coming age millions of people will take the first and second initaition through these transformed and purified institutions."
Bob Rosio emphasized that the Holocaust was a mere dress rehearsal for the Final Solution which will well-nigh succeed under the rule of Anti-Christ. The opening performance is scheduled to begin after Lucifer has been properly summoned to play the leading role:
"Those who form the core of occultism in the New Age movement also stress that the New Age they are promoting will come about through AN ONGOING INVOCATION OF LUCIFER. They stress that all those who enter this New Age will enter it through a Luciferic initation, just as Hitler did."
Presently, as we hear of Christain convocation after convocation calling down "the Fire", we recall Madame Blatavsky's definition of the very occult meaning of "fire" as "...a figure of speech to denote deity, the 'One' life. A theurgic term, used later by the Rosicrucians." Promotional materials for the "Crown Him" convocation held in 1997 boasted of celebrity endorsements such as Israeli leader Moshen Demian, who, as a "Father" at the Canadian Whistler Gathering, blew the shofar trumpet to "consecrate the meeting", the "new moon", the "seasons", "the Sabbath" with the lame excuse:
"...the cults do it, the unbelievers do it, how much more should Christians do it."
Even now, Lucifer is invoked by New Agers and Christians alike, bringing about the revelation of the Anti-Christ indwelt by Satan. At the proper time, Lucifer and the Spiritual Hierarchy will appear:
"The Masters of Wisdom...will restore upon earth the ancient mysteries and institute again the order of initation."
