The New Age, New World Order is a political, economic, religious global conquest that has happened through conspiracy, often hidden subversion, in every area of society, in every country, The N.W.O. is a merger of all political ideologies, religions and philosophies across the planet. The key word used today is Globalization. The New Age religion supports relativism. New Age incorporates and accommodates a wide range of personal beliefs and practices of all religions to include eastern mysticism, paganism spiritism and even psychology. Its purpose is to rediscover the god-within us all. People have to look no further than themselves, for all of life is answers, everything one needs to know is already inside themselves. - God is all and all are God.(This is called Pantheism) The New Age Movement is both a religious and a social movement. Western culture has currently experienced a new paradigm, a spiritual and sociological shift; it is a religious world-view that is hostile to Christianity. It's multi-faceted and has the ability to synthesize mystical religions and world religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Occultism. (The only religion that cannot be conglomerated into its unity is orthodox Christianity). It is the theosophy that has been practiced and hoped for by occultists for centuries. “A general convergence of religions upon a universal Christ who fundamentally satisfies them all: that seems to me the only possible conversion of the world, and the only form in which a religion of the future can be conceived.” (PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN CHRISTIANITY AND EVOLUTION P.130) The movement expresses itself in widely divergent and various forms, from the blatantly obvious to the subtle. For example the names have been changed from astrologers and psychics to intuition consultants and Astro-economists. Astrology charts are used in business predicting when it is good or bad to make moves in their companies by the stars and alignment of the planets. Psychic energy can be called therapeutic touch. Titles and practices are constantly being renamed. Dick Sutphen said “One of the biggest advantages we have as New Agers is, once the occult, metaphysical, new age terminology is removed, we have concepts and techniques that are very acceptable to the general public (and) open the new age door to millions who normally would not be receptive.” So they change the terms purposely to accepted terminology so one can participate without even knowing. This is why the Word of GOD tells us in: 2Ti 3:12-14 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them We are to be able to discern these things by knowing the Word and understanding it. The word “Occult” means “Hidden” things, we are not to be ignorant of the devils devices. Next post we continue to look at some thoughts of the New Age Movement. We really do need to be aware that this is happening and has even creept into some of our churches through certain practices. |
