(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."

DEATH~THE GREAT ADVENTURE

Chapters 7 and 11 of Daniel, Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation describe multitiudes who will be slain for refusing the mark, number, and name of the Beast. Assorted New Agers have estimated that two to five billion people will be eradicated to purify the human race. However, in Matthew 24:22, Jesus states that after the Abomination of desolation is set up in the Holy Place, "Except those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH be saved." Hear the modern hierophants, who reveal how one billion or so "Elect" will finally enter the New Age:

Alice Bailey, successor to Annie Besant aspresident of the Theosophical Society , wrote:

"Man understands meaning when he identifies with his soul and not his form: then he will deliberately CHOOSE TO DIE."

********************************************* [NOTE: This, in my view, is the natural conclusion of an unscriptural, pagan-derived belief in an immortal soul; the Bible presents man as inherently mortal, but capable of undergoinga bodily ressurrection to a transformed, eternal state of spirit-composed--thoughSOMATIC--being; or else, a bodily ressurrection to judgement, resulting in a "second DEATH" by fire--not eternal torment. Bill Lambert of Theosphy shows a link between New Age thought on this matter and the evangelical "rapture" theory of the First Ressurrection, when he states that those who are not sufficiently enlightened to receive the New Age Christ will "voluntarily LEAVE THIS DIMENSION". BTW, the "soul" is so universal a belief that I do not wish to be accused of attacking any religion, sect, or group here--including my own Baptist upbringing.-F4] http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1052.html

********************************************* Richard Kirby of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledege wrote:

"Christians know that a man msut die to himself before he can...be born again in spirit. It may well be that mankind as a whole must be crcuified even unto death, before it can come into its inheritance... Christians can say with Teilhard de Chardin taht death itself is beneficent, the only way to grow beyond forms which have served their limited purpose..., but with the serious and the worried, they look upon the possible extermination of the human race secure in the knowledge that it could be but a prelude to the resurrection of the species."

In "Esoteric Christianity", Annie Besant delineates the "Law of Sacrifice" which underwrites the "hope" that is given to the deluded souls who will literally "choose to die" at the planned extermination of the human race:

"We can trace in the religions of the world foour great stages of instruction in the Law of Sacrifice. First, man was taught to sacrifice part of his material possession in order to gain increased material prosperity...Secondly...instead of physical prosperity and worldly good, the fruit to be gained by sacrifice was celestial bliss. The thrid lesson came when a man, seein himself as part of a greater ife, was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the whole...The hero-soul thus trained was ready for the fourth lesson; that sacrifice is to be offered... beacause the Spirit is not really separate, but part of the divine Life, and...the man pours himself forth as part of the Life Universal, and in the expression of that life, he shares the joy of his Lord..."

Those who receive the strong delusion of their own divinity will be properly initiated so that they may become "Christs" and Saviors of mankind.
