The New Millennium and the New Age – Week 27 / 30th June
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through
philosophy and empty deceit, according
to the tradition of men, according to the
basic principles of the world, and not
according to Christ…”
Colossians 2:8
Thirteen years ago, with much pomp, ceremony, expectation and celebration, our world embraced the arrival of the New Millennium. Hope for a better world was expressed everywhere and events giving expression to this longed for expectation were launched at key global sites like that of the Pyramids, Table Mountain, Ayers Rock, and Stonehenge etc. Sadly, all of these endorsed by the United Nations, politicians and civil leaders of note, were New Age and multi-faith in nature. Indeed, weird medicine men, wackos, gurus, witches, fairies and strange mystics officiated at these ceremonies. The fact that the world was actually celebrating 2000 years since Jesus came into it was totally ignored and thus, once again, He was shut out of the Inn! Since then of course the celebration of all things New Age has accelerated. Our world is filled with magic and more and more people speak of things like Karma, positive energy, mother earth and harmony vibrations.
The Origins of the Modern New Age Movement
Naturally the philosophy behind the New Age Movement can be traced back thousands of years to Babylon and Egypt but in recent times the persons and organizations most responsible for its codification and systematic thought patterns have been:
1. Madame Helena Blavatsky (Russia)
2. The Theosophy Movement. Most researchers agree that the Theosophy movement is and has been one of the major “root systems” of the New Age movement.
3. Houston Chamberlain (England)
4. Dietrich Eckhart (Germany) of the Thule Society and believe it or not…
5. Adolf Hitler.
It was Helena Blavatsky and the others who postulated the thesis in a modern form but it was Adolf Hitler who implemented the thesis. Does this startle you? It should! Nazism was the direct product of the New Age Movement. It is the end of the “chain reaction.” Don’t be fooled—Nazism was not a radical right wing philosophy as some would have us believe. No, it was a radical left wing philosophy, a progressive socialist party (NSDAP) that embraced on a national scale in Germany what the current New Age Movement embraces on a world-wide scale.
It involved Tibetan, Celtic and Nordic beliefs and all manner of magic rituals and it endeavored to transform Christianity into a multi-faith system. Indeed Hitler became the new “Teacher” of all these systems. He was even regarded as the “New Messiah” of a revamped Christianity.
Nigel Pennick writes: “The whole Nazi ethos grew out of a magical view of the world, and the history of Nazi Germany was forged by strange fanatics whose actions can only be explained in occult terms.”
And a German theologian of the time, together with many German Christians, formulated the following creed-like statement: “Thanks be to Hitler, the time of the German people has come, for it is by Hitler that Christ our Savior God has become powerful among us…”
It is to be noted that the modern new Age Movement espouses the same things exactly. It is nothing less than a child birthed by Madame Blavatsky, Theosophy, the Thule Society and Hitler!
It venerates holy sites said to radiate energy from Mother Earth, brings fringe religious systems into the mainstream and seeks to unify them with the three great religious systems of the world: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Note the language below giving notice of just one event of many like this that took place all over the world in the year 1999:
Mountain Service Marks Equinox
Tomorrow, the spring equinox, marks the start of the 100-day countdown to the millennium celebrations—and it all seems to be happening on top of Table Mountain.
The Cape Times One City Festival, the World’s Parliament of Religions, the Cape Town City Council and the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company have joined forces to mark the event on the mountain, where a multi-faith service will be held from 4:30 pm tomorrow.
Two praise singers will accompany the dignitaries to a terrace below the restaurant. Religious leaders will offer songs and prayers at the gathering let by Gordon Oliver, South African co-director of the Parliament of Religions.
Cape Town mayor Namaindia Mfeketo will light a candle, the first of 100 candles to be lit each day until December 31 at different venues and events around Cape Town as part of the millennium countdown.
Tomorrow’s event marks the launch of the One City Festival and is a prelude to the convening of the Parliament of the World’s Religions in the first week of December, when more than 6,000 religious leaders, scholars, activists and laity will gather in Cape Town to “celebrate the diversity of the world’s spiritual community.”
Tomorrow’s event is open to the public. Tickets, which include the Cableway fare, are R60,00 for adults and R32,00 for children under 12, and are available from the Table Mountain ticket office. – Staff Writer, the Cape Times, September 1999.
The New Age Spider Web
For New Agers, the earth is a type of god having thus a life of its own. So they will frequently refer to it as “Mother Earth” or Gaia—the Goddess of Earth. This earth god communicates with all life forms on this planet, and especially Homo-sapiens, by way of energy vibrations. These vibrations are said to be strong at certain sacred sites (Stonehenge, Table Mountain…etc.) and can also be connected by so-called “Ley Lines” and by meditation techniques. Well-known New Ager Jose Arguellos says: “What EC 2000 (Earth Celebration 2000) is all about is articulating the power, the earth itself, first as an image and then, as a living breathing being we all depend on…”
New Age philosophy teaches that unless there is new global consciousnesses in the world the planet will self destruct. A New World Order (Hitler called it Reich) has to be brought in and mankind must thus experience a paradigm shift, or quantum leap, to get to it. Earth’s energy vibrations must be brought back to harmony with mankind. A psychic world grid must be built in the years to come and thus the “Old Order,” especially the Judeo-Christian one, must be left behind or, as some of them put it, “eliminated,” since it vibrates negative energy!!
Through a new harmony—the term used by New Agers is “harmonic convergence”—forged with Mother Earth, a more perfect man and happier earth will emerge. The old age of Pisces with its monotheistic belief systems of absolute truth must be banished, and a New Millennium (1000 year Reich) or Aquarian Age must be ushered in. Here all truth will be relative and global consciousness and world government will be a reality. Those who stand in the way of this new day will be considered under-developed and will be somehow neutralized. At the very least, they must be prohibited henceforth from radiating negative energy.
This author has personally been confronted by diplomatic officials representing one of the most powerful nations in the world, and was told that he is out of step with reality and that his belief in the absolute truth system of the Bible makes him an under-developed species of the human race! He was then showed a rainbow-colored flow chart that outlined nine steps to the New Age and to global government. The meeting was designed to leave him with the impression that he should change, or at the very least, consider himself as having been warned!
So in the light of the above, another New Age leader sums it all up this way: “A paradigm shift in the very manner in which humanity perceives reality must be effected. Then the world will enter into the Age of Aquarius, the New Age. Globalism will flourish, national boundaries will blur so mankind will realize its own divine ‘Godhood…’”
The Nazi Model
Now a careful study of the belief systems of Nazism will reveal that they believed exactly the same things! The definitive work on Nazism called The Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michael Angebert clearly shows this, as does the BBC television series based partly on the book and by the same name.
New Age literature speaks of drastically reducing the world’s population (the culling of human beings), eliminating undesirables and of developing the “New Global Man.” The Germans called him an Aryan! The crucial difference is that whereas for Hitler it was a national thing, in that he believed that “Mother Earth” was calling upon Germans to evolve into this higher race by “quantum leap vibratory consciousness,” now it has become a global thing. Yes sir, global Nazism has arrived and we are just at the beginning. The year 2000 was its first official birthday. This time however it will come out of the closet dressed in a rainbow!!
Just before Hitler shot himself, one of his aides asked him, “Who shall we follow now?” The response from the Fuhrer was, “This is just the beginning. A new man will come. Follow him!” Just the beginning!!
Hitler’s SS elite were invested in a dungeon called Valhalla, meaning Great Hall of the Warrior Dead, situated underneath a castle in Germany. The energy from Mother Earth was said to be very strong in that dark abyss of the earth. With this we can agree, for a few years later, 51 million people and six million Jews had died as he followed through on the dictates of Gaia, the Goddess of Mother Earth!!
The energy that was released from Valhalla dungeon was not liberating, evolving and peaceful. No, it was foreboding and filled with terror. You’d want almost to say Satanic, wouldn’t you?
To be sure Darwinism (1859) was a gift to Hitler and his New Age thugs as it confirmed his racial thesis and condemned “under-developed species,” like Jews, gypsies and evangelical Christians, to gas changers, firing squads and ovens.
Darwin’s Origin of the Species describes many people groups like blacks and South American Indians as inadequately evolved Homo-sapiens!
Indeed Darwin wrote that “civilized societies” should seek to find ways and means to eliminate “un-civilized societies,” or at least to control their breeding habits. He stated:
“With savages, the weak in mind or body are soon eliminated…We civilized men, on the other hand, build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick; we institute poor laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of everyone to the last moment. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No-one who has ever attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man…”
The modern evolutionists will never own up to the evil racist implications of this belief system. Only man made in the image of God, as taught by the Bible, assures our equal dignity, survival and equality of treatment. It was a Christian evangelical called Wilberforce that freed the western world from the tyranny of slavery.
To put it bluntly Nazism, like the New Age Movement of today, had bought into the lie of evolution and other earth mysteries and as a result it endeavored to move man forward in the process of evolution. The vulnerable, weak and disabled would be left behind or removed (murdered)! That’s it! They called this “eugenics.”
Indeed the New Age Movement is Nazism and Nazism is the New Age Movement. Constance Cumbey, in her book The Secret Dangers of the Rainbow, proves this beyond any doubt.
Modern New Agers will most certainly deny this but try as they will, their “root systems” are exactly the same and it is time someone said it.
So as you watch countless millions from all over the world gather at high energy sites and peace poles, remember that you are looking at the same things that millions of Germans looked at and marveled at in the early 1930s. The swastika looked so much like a cross and magic was everywhere. Those that spoke out then were ridiculed. They were shouted down in all the euphoria, mystery and excitement. The energy of Gaia (Satan) spoke through Hitler and everyone followed, followed, followed, followed…to an early grave!
The “energy” is going to speak again! It is simply preparing its new mouthpiece and you may say that surely it cannot happen again. Well, history has always repeated itself because the real enemy is not man but his sin, sins and the Devil. Until we learn this lesson we are destined to be the prisoners of time and ultimately of a lost eternity. Those who worship creation are destined to create dirty gods, and with them fall into the abyss.
The Perfect Man
One perfect man did, however, arrive on this planet 2013 years ago. He, by virtue of his perfection, destroyed the Devil’s power and paved the way for a real New Age when He died on the cross for every man, woman and child. His name is Jesus. He is the only, one of a kind, unique, God-man. It is, in fact, His life and times that we celebrate each 31st December and thus let us do so by making Him Lord of our lives and by extending equal dignity to all men. Only the Bible and its revolutionary message about God’s love for all men, regardless of their race or station in life, can save us from the darkness of the New Age Movement with its black magic and many chambers of horrors.
I wrote much this article in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building overlooking the eternal city of Jerusalem. It was night and the moon was almost full. The Feast of Tabernacles was approaching. I looked over the many dwellings below me that make up the leafy suburb of Rehavia. Lights glittered everywhere and gave a sense of warmth as they bathed the Jerusalem stone with their glow.
Here, I thought to myself, are a people that survived Hitler and his dark New Age hordes. They had been to the Abyss of New Age evil and many of them returned, still having tattooed on their arms the number of the Beast. I couldn’t help but think of Revelation 13 where the Bible warns of another coming Beast. He too will have a mark and he too will win the world by magic. The world awaits him and joyfully rises to greet him with mantras, spells and incantations from Apollyon, but he will lead them to hell in a way that Hitler never did. I say to one and all—wake up!
