THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

In recent years many books have been written on the "New Age Movement." Which

probably should have been called the "Same ol' Lie New Age Movement". Satan

has no creative power and simply cannot find a new temptation for man except

for the sin of pride that caused him to lose his place in God's eternal

Kingdom. This New Age Movement makes for excellent writing, it sells books and

causes Christians who are not aware of such activities to think that some new

demonic forces have been loosed on the planet. But the fact of the matter is

the New Age Movement, for all intents and purposes, is the Babylonian religion

with an updated version of the lies that Satan started in the Garden with Adam

and Eve, which eventually graduated to the Babylonian Tower.

ANCIENT BABYLON

The Bible tells us of the tower of the ancient city of Babylon built by King

Nimrod and his queen Semiramis (Genesis 11). Semiramis was an extremely wicked

woman and soon her brand of religion spread throughout the world. Their temple

rituals included blood sacrifices as well as prostitution. In the Old

Testament Nimrod is referred to as Baal. The basis of the Babylonian religion

was the thought of man lifting himself up to Heaven, which is repeated by the

cults down through the ages. Even the apostles had to face these problems with

the newborn church.

GNOSTICSM

Gnosticsm reared its ugly head in Christianity around the middle of the first

Century. The Gnostics believed that man could raise himself up through

superior knowledge. They also believed that God was neither good nor evil,

simply there. A force that created us and then left us to live on our own.

THE NEW GNOSTICS

The "new" gnostics believe we are all gods, and there is no One God, but an

impersonal force. This teaching has appeared in countless movies, the biggest

being the "Star Wars" triology. For years children as well as adults went

around saying, "may the force be with you!" While these were thought to be

harmless science fiction movies they may very well have been geared toward

accepting an impersonal God. If God is an ""it,"" then it can be manipulated,

controlled, and ordered about. In other words, you control god, it doesn't

control you. This force must be reached through meditation, hypnosis,

visualization and various other methods, much like the Far Eastern religions.

They are after a one-world government, leader, economy, and religion. Again a

familiar story, but the circumstances have changed.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY

The ability of world leaders to meet in just seconds increases the possibility

of a one-world government. World leaders are calling for intellectuals,

scientists, and clergy to come together to solve the world's problems. The

debt of not only the United States, but other countries threatens the

stability of the world economy. The key will be a soaring of the stock market

prices. This will draw investors from all over the world into a literal

economic whirlpool. Another, more severe stock market crash, then look for

everything else to immediately fall into place. People will realize that the

White House doesn't have the answers, but God's house does. We could see a

revival of untold magnitude, or it may take place after the rapture, no one

knows for sure.

SURVIVAL

Survival doesn't lie in fighting the New Age Movement but in exalting Jesus

Christ as the Answer. Our war is not with flesh and the blood but with demon

spirits (Ephesians 6:12). We can struggle against those in the New Age

Movement or we can present Jesus to a lost and dying world. Which do you think

would do the most good? The Bible centuries ago predicted a world government,

under a man. It will take place. But there is another coming, "and the

government shall be upon His shoulder... of the increase of his government and

peace there shall be no end,..." (Isaiah 9:6,7). Even so Lord Jesus come

quickly!
