PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house. And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. - II Chron. 7:1-3

TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. - Rev. 11:4-6

THE MILLENNIUM (end)

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. - Rev.20:9

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

Hermetic science is the merger of Egyptian magic with science according to the Hermetic axiom 'as above, so below'. Hermetic science, which will take over the field of science, manipulates the forces of nature in order to bring man into the realm of the spiritual world and under the control of Satan. In the Golden Age , the Hermetic Sciences of sorcery, magic and divination will be taught and practiced in order to produce demonic miracles, e.g., Harry Potter books/movies. Demonic miracles will be universally received as signs from God.

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

"The tradition of magic...has its legendary Grand Master in Hermes Trismegistis, who gave to it its official name of Hermetic Science." 26:153

"HERMETICIST. -- From Hermes, the god of Wisdom, known in Egypt, Syria, and Phoenicia as Thoth, Tat, Adad, Seth, and Sat-an..., and in Greece as Kadmus, The kabalists identify him with Adam Kadmon, the first manifestation of the Divine Power, and with Enoch. There were two Hermes: the elder was the Trismegistus, and the second an emanation or 'permutation' of himself; the friend and instructor of Isis and Osiris. Hermes is the god of the priestly wisdom..." (H. P. Blavatsky) - 195:xxxiii (Vol I)

"...it would appear that the civilisation which we know as Ancient Egypt was the result of a pre-planned and carefully controlled experiment in human civilisation, the organisation and knowledge for which had been carefully prepared over many thousands of years. The original knowledge was given to the first sages of Egypt by the 'Gods', and those sages are themselves said to have come as colonists from Atlantis during the last few thousands of years of that 'Titanic' period of man's development. In other words, there was a sacred tradition of wisdom knowledge handed on from the past via a line of sages or high initiates, that was said to have come from the great Atlantean sage, Enoch (as he was known to the Hebrews), or Thoth (as he was known to the Egyptians), who 'walked with God' and was raised up into the highest heaven to become the Messiah or Teacher of all mankind. He, in his turn, had received a sacred tradition of wisdom knowledge via a line of sages stemming from Adam, the first incarnate man, who had been instructed by God after his fall from Paradise." - 889:28

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. Exodus 7:10-12

And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments... - Exodus 7:20-22

"The tradition of MAGIC... was formulated, developed and preserved by the religion of Egypt...[I]t's official name [is] Hermetic Science." - 26:153

        CHURCH AGE

"Merovingian kings were noted sorcerers ..." - 29:171

"On the whole their [the Cathars] faith was very similar to its Manichean, Paulician and Bogomilian roots: its chief ingredients were Gnosticism and Hermeticism." - 336:42

    "Yet of all the branches of the Roman Catholic Church it was the Jesuits who were most like the Rosicrucians.  The Renaissance esoteric influences behind the formation of the Jesuit Order have not yet been fully studied.  The Order made great use of the Hermetic tradition in appealing to Protestants and to the many other creeds which it encountered in its missionary work.  The Hermetic and occult philosophy of the Jesuits received a tremendous formulation in the work of Athanasius Kircher, whose vast work on Hermetic pseudo-Egyptology was published in 1652 and who constantly cites with profound reverence the supposed ancient Egyptian priest, Hermes Trismegestus ...

    "Through their common attachment to Hermetic tradition, the Jesuits and the 'Rosicrucians' were thus foes with a love-hate relationship through a kind of similarity. We have seen that in the furore the Jesuits tried to draw over Rosicrucian symbolism, suggesting that the two Orders were the same, and manufacturing similar emblematics. So the issues could become confused." - 46:230

"Rosicrucian vision was therefore both traditional and radical, both theological and scientific... It looked forward to an age when religion and science would work hand in hand." - 506:26

"....Madame Blavatsky explained the influence of magic on history: 'What is one to do, when in order to rule men, it is necessary to deceive them? ... or almost invariably the more simple, the more silly, and the more gross the phenomenon, the more likely it is to succeed." (Edith Kermit Roosevelt, "Between the Lines: The Universal Theocratic State") - 28:49

"...'theology and science are entering into a new relationship', says physicist turned theologian, Robert John Russell, who in 1981 founded the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley." 223:48

"[The new physics] amounts to a recognition, on the strength of modern physics, of an ancient ontological truth: the Hermetic fact, if you will, that whatsoever exists on the corporeal plane must preexist on the intermediary, and indeed, on every higher ontological level. One knows today that not even an ordinary particle can stand alone, but must be accompanied by a 'subtle' presence that transcends the accustomed spatio-temporal bounds, a presence which consequently strikes us as mysterious and indeed preternatural: this quantum-theoretic fact, I say, has now received its ontological interpretation. What it signifies is that the corporeal world does not exist apart from higher ontological planes. What actually exists is the integral cosmos, which consists, to say it once more, of a spiritual centre, a corporeal periphery, and a subtle intermediary domain: neither 'heaven' alone nor 'earth' alone, but 'heaven and earth' as the opening verse of Genesis declares." - 682

"Working closely with scientists, theologians, medical professional, philosophers and other scholars, the [Templeton] Foundation encourages substantive dialogue in order to stimulate research and reflection in the relationship between science and religion. The Foundation especially seeks to stimulate rigorous scholarly/scientific advances that increase understanding of the ultimate aspects of human purpose, and of the vast potential for creativity and progress, which can be inspired by the collaboration of science and religion." - 673

 

"NEW YORK, March 14 -- John C. Polkinghorne, a mathematical physicist and Anglican priest whose treatment of theology as a natural science has invigorated the search for interface between science and religion and made him a leading figure in this emerging field, has won the 2002 Templeton Prize. The announcement was made at a news conference at the Church Center for the United Nations in New York...

Polkinghorne joins a number of other physicists who are Templeton Prize laureates, including Freeman Dyson, who has sought to reconcile issues of technology and social justice, Ian Barbour, a pioneer in the integration of science and religion,...

In contrast to those Templeton Prize recipients, however, Polkinghorne has established himself as a scientist-theologian much more comfortable with traditional interpretations of Christian scripture and dogma. Still, he steadfastly defends the role of science in advancing understanding of the workings of the universe. He has written, for example, that belief in the Big Bang is compatible with belief in God as the Creator and that evolution is a perfect fit with the concept of a God-given gift of creation that continues to be and to make itself.

In his citation nominating Polkinghorne, Thomas Torrance, former Moderator of the Church of Scotland and Professor of Christian Dogmatics at the University of Edinburgh, wrote, 'He has not only destroyed the idea that the world-views of science and theology are opposed to one another, but he has opened up the road ahead for a new stage in conceptual integration which cannot but make for immense progress in religion all over the world.'" - 669

 

    "Covering 12,000sq yards, the Barbury Castle tetrahedron marked a further incursion into crop circle evolution. It was also an unmistakable and identifiable philosophical and alchemical symbol dealing with the very creation of the universe...

    "This pattern is one of the most important alchemical and Hermetic symbols. It is featured in Michespacher's 1654 book Cabala in Alchymia as the diagram describing the very process of Creation. The three balls are said to represent the three alchemical elements - salt, sulphur and mercury, in conjunction with the Godhead at the center which unites the three to create the Universe; in other words, the three elements are spun together and held in equilibrium until an energy from the Creator activates the process. This is the act of material manifestation. The diagram is also well known to Qabbalists and Rosicrucians whose roots can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian mystery schools. Their description tallies with Michespacher's, but because the source is older it is inevitably devoid of centuries of misinterpretation. The alchemical connotations which were fashionable in the Middle Ages are here replaced by water, fire and light respectively. These are contained by the triangle of complete equality (equilibrium), which in turn interacts with the three circles of the high throne - Father, Son and Spirit, the three sources of Light, also referred to as the Three In One. Generated by this diagram are the seven creative spirits; from this master plan evolves the true nature of the solar system." - 500

"...Michael Harner of New York's Academy of Science, explains that the religion behind Holistic medicine is in fact ancient SHAMANISM revived." - 14:120

"Humanistic and transpersonal psychologies have now embraced the entire spectrum of SORCERY. For example, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Humanistic Psychology...was heavily-flavored with Hindu/Buddhist occultism,... blatant sorcery, visualization... alchemy ...guided imagery... shamanic (witchcraft) ecstasy." - 14:30

"Those in the I AM groups... 'decree',... which is the repetition of 'positive confessions' to create what is being spoken." - 14:99

"...meditation in any form is the harnessing by human means of God's divine laws. (R)epeat the words, 'I am, I am' many times over,... TM.., is not ... necessarily anti-Christian." - 7:131-2

"Omega, a New Age Institute for holistic studies lists Madeleine L'Engle as a faculty member. This organization features such courses as: shamanism, out-of-body experiences or astral projection,... fortune telling, earth worship,...homosexuality." 24:xi

"L'Engle's...works are included in many mandatory reading programs within the education system." - 24:39

"...Wheaton College, the 'Harvard of the Evangelicals', supports L'Engle so enthusiastically that she refers to the institution as her second home... she is author-in-residence and assistant librarian at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, where she also serves as lay preacher." - 24:41, xi

"Although [J.K.] Rowling maintains that her [Harry Potter] books are imaginary, according to Abanes her very real descriptions of astrology, numerology, divination, mediumship, channeling, and crystal gazing, fit nicely alongside contemporary occultism." - 305

    "[J.K] Rowling goes on to say that roughly one-third of the sorcery-related material appearing in her [Harry Potter] books 'are things that people genuinely used to believe in Britain.' What Rowling fails to mention is that a vast amount of the occult material she has borrowed from historical sources still plays a significant role in modern paganism and witchcraft. Consequently, her writings merge quite nicely with contemporary occultism. This could easily present a spiritual danger to children and teens, or even adults, who are either leaning toward occultism or who may be vulnerable to its attractions. Also, it is noteworthy that some of the information Rowling uses is not widely known by persons other than those who are actually involved in occultism. She, in fact, has an extremely well-developed and sophisticated knowledge of the occult world, its legends, history and nuances.
    "In fact, Rowling’s thorough understanding of occultism’s intricacies is so obvious in her books that during one radio call-in interview show, a self-professed 'magus' (a male practitioner of magick) excitedly asked Rowling if she herself was a member of the 'Craft' (i.e., Wicca). When Rowling answered no, the caller seemed shocked and replied, '[Well], you’ve done your homework quite well.' This particular caller went on to express his love for the Harry Potter series not only because it contained so much occultism, but because its positive portrayal of magick had served to make his daughter more comfortable with his own practices as a witch-magickian.'" - 314

"From the beginning the Prieuré de Sion has been committed to Hermetic magic (a type of black magic...portrayed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead)." - 77:79

"...Giordano Bruno...has associated the Copernican theory...with a forthcoming return of 'Egyptian' or magical religion... Giordano Bruno as he wandered through Europe had preached an approaching general reformation of the world, based on return to the 'Egyptian' religion taught in the Hermetic treatises, a religion which was to transcend religious differences through love and magic, which was to be based on a new vision of nature achieved through Hermetic contemplative exercises. He had preached this religion, enveloped in mythological forms, in France, England, and Germany. According to himself, he had formed a sect in Germany, called the 'Giordanisti', which had much influence among the Lutherans." - 46:123,136

"The Rosicrucians' political manifesto included... the radical reformation of the SCIENCES and philosophy in accordance with spiritual principles." - 25:49

"The Hermetic axiom, 'as above, so below', typical of Rosicrucian teaching, had a profound effect on modern scientific thought, and Rosicrucianism - like other occult paths - has been credited with having helped to prepare the way of the rise of modern science." - 146:477

        TRIBULATION PERIOD

And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying I AM Christ. - Lk.21:8

For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. - Matt.24:24

... neither repented they of their... SORCERIES Rev.9:20-21

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

And then shall that Wicked be revealed... Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: II Thes. 2:8-11

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him... And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast. - Rev. 13:11-14

And I saw three UNCLEAN SPIRITS like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. for they are the spirits of DEVILS, WORKING MIRACLES... Rev.16:13-14

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image... - Rev. 19:20

"In his book on Bacon, Paolo Rossi has shown that it was out of the Hermetic tradition that Bacon emerged, out of the Magia and Cabala of the Renaissance as it had reached him via the natural magicians. Bacon's view of the future of science...was directed towards a return to the state of Adam before the Fall, a state of pure and sinless contact with nature and knowledge of her powers. This was the view of scientific progress, a progress back towards Adam, held by Cornelia Agrippa, the author of the influential Renaissance text book on occult philosophy. (De occulta philosophia III, p. 40)... The German Rosicrucian writers hold similar views about the return to the wisdom of Adam and the millennial character of the advance in knowledge which they prophesy...concerned with magico-scientific advance, with illumination in the sense of enlightenment." - 46:119-120

"Adam was lord on earth to rule and control it, teaching his subjects the first arts and sciences." - 93:24

"The Angevins [Rene d'Anjou was the Angevin monarch] were primarily advocates of the Regia, or Royal Art, of hermeticism; a tradition which according to legend was passed down to man by a race of fallen angels." - 306

PERSONAL APPLICATION

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. I Tim. 6:20

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. - Is. 8:19,20

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. - I John 4:1-3

"Adam was lord on earth to rule and control it, teaching his subjects the first arts and sciences." - 93:24

"PLATO has preserved for us the history of Atlantis...

    "In the temple they placed statues of gold: there was the god himself standing in a chariot--the charioteer of six winged horses--and of such a size that he touched the roof of the building with his head; around him there were a hundred Nereids riding on dolphins, for such was thought to be the number of them in that day. There were also in the interior of the temple other images which had been dedicated by private individuals. And around the temple on the outside were placed statues of gold of all the ten kings and of their wives..." 635 (Part I, Ch. 2)

 

"Augustine, in the 'City of God'...condemned 'Hermes, the Egyptian called Trismegistos' because of a passage in the Asclepius...that discusses magical processes intended to animate the statues of gods by making spirits descend into them." - 146:294, "Hermetism"

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. - I Kings 11:4

And [Josiah] took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. - II Kings 23:11

 

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. - Ezek. 8:10

And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.  And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war... And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.  And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. - Judges 7:11,17,30,31

"Dan had the subtlety of a serpent by the way (Gen. xlix. 17), as well as the courage of a lion's whelp, leaping from Bashan, Deut. xxxiii. 22. 3. The acquaintance which their spies got with Micah's priest, and the use they made of that acquaintance... They, understanding that he had an oracle in his custody, desired he would tell them whether they should prosper in their present undertaking, v. 5. See their carelessness and regardlessness of God and his providence; they would not have enquired of the Lord at all if this Levite's mentioning the teraphim he had with him had not put it into their heads. Many never think of religion but just when it falls in their way and they cannot avoid it, like chance customers. See their ignorance of the divine law, that they thought God, who had forbidden the religious use of graven images, would yet own them in consulting an image, and give them an answer of peace. Should he be enquired of by them? Ezek. xiv. 3. They seem to have had a greater opinion of Micah's teraphim than of God's urim; for they had passed by Shiloh, and, for aught that appears, had not enquired there of God's high priest, but Micah's shabby Levite shall be an oracle to them. He betakes himself to his usual method of consulting his teraphim;..." (Matthew Henry) - 772 (Judges, Chap. XVIII)

"In the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon lies Baalbek. If this identification is correct then Baalbek was inside the Israelite kingdom... Baalbek...was venerated in the Roman world as the place of an old cult of an ancient oracle, and it rivalled successfully other venerated temples of the Roman Empire... Macrobius in his Saturnalia wrote of Baalbek: 'This temple is also famous for its oracles.'...

"Was it the ancient oracle of Micah? In the words of Jeremiah, shortly before the Babylonian exile of 586 in which he spoke of 'a voice . . . from Dan', we had the last biblical reference to the oracle of Micah.

"In the Tractate Pesahim of the Babylonian Talmud is written the following sentence: 'The image of Micah stands in Bechi.' Bechi is known as the Hebrew name for Baalbek in the time of the Talmud. As we have seen, in the Book of Exodus it is recounted that the Danites, migrating to the North, took with them Micah and his idol, and that it was placed in Dan of the North. The Talmud was composed between the second and the fifth centuries of the present era.

"This passage in the Tractate Pesahim is a strong argument for the thesis of this essay, namely that Baalbek is the ancient Dan." - 287

"Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan." - I Kings 12:28-9

"The ordinary way in which the favorite Egyptian divinity Osiris was mystically represented was under the form of a young bull or calf - the calf Apis - from which the golden calf of the Israelites was borrowed." - 156:45

"...'G' in the Masonic symbol represents...the 'generative principle,' the Sun-god and, thus, the worshipped phallus, the male 'generative principle…' In its position (along with the Square and Compass) on the east wall over the chair (throne) of the Worshipful Master, it is the representation of the Sun, thus of the Sun-god, Osiris. Its earthly meaning, then, is of the sacred phallus; its cosmic meaning is of the Sun, worshipped since antiquity by pagans while facing the East." - Jim Shaw, The Deadly Deception

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.... Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: - Dan. 3:1,3,5

"In alchemy the sun is associated with glittering gold ('the earth's sun, the king of metals')..." - 100:330

"...Neoplatonic theurgy... was focused mainly upon the performance of rituals intended to attract the gods to descend into statues from which they could deliver divinatory messages." - 146:121, "Qabbalah"

"Colossus of Rhodes...[was a] large statue of Helios, the sun god... One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it was built in part by Chares of Lindus (Rhodes) between 292 and 280 B.C....

"...Renaissance men such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Marsillio Ficino of the Platonic Academy in Florence revived the artistic styles and metaphysical values of classical antiquity, notably in Italy." - 169:18

"... Bacon, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus... were all reported to have captured souls and placed them into brass statues." - 49:9

"The Waldorf Schools founded by Rudolf Steiner make the arts paramount." - 177:76

"Illuminated art derives from occultism, and much modern art is indirectly illuminated or directly occult. There is no place here for aesthetics, and my intention is only to show the connection of much influential modern art with the occult. This alliance began in Paris of the 1890s when...the occult revival coincided exactly with the Symbolist movement, and the Symbolists drew a great part of their inspiration from the occultists. Occult theories resulted in the conception of the artist as a saint and magician, while his art became less and less representative of ordinary reality and hinted at things beyond. From this departure of the Symbolists from the universe of agreed discourse for private or superior worlds has sprung the tampering with 'everyday' reality which has become so central a feature of modern art." - 33:421

"The esoteric lore of the early Christians, formulated in the days when such words as 'resurrection' and 'reincarnation' had very different meanings from the ones ascribed to those words today, is also reappearing in many new esoteric lores, legends and cults, not all of which are of obvious value at the moment, but some of which are preparing seeds for future growth. The interesting thing is that all these reborn ideas have survived not so much in philosophical concepts or in literature, but in forms of art, or in games such as chess, playing cards and...even in such a thoroughly materialized sport as polo. They have survived precisely because they were designed into systems of art and play which disguised their true intent -- the result is that in their outer form of art they were misunderstood, and more often than not ignored as reservoirs of ancient wisdom. Had the materialists really understood the secret symbols of the cathedrals, they would certainly have devised some wholesome-seeming stratagem to destroy their structure." - 911:xvii

"...one statement in the 'Prieuré documents' defines the character of symbolic or allegorical art': Allegorical works have this advantage, that a single word suffices to illumine connections which the multitude cannot grasp....but their significance addresses itself to an elite...which constitutes...a form of esoteric communications." - 31:182-3

"...[Rudolf Steiner's] series about the spiritual value of art in alternative education...seemed to have been deeply rooted in Rosicrucian tradition even though he had given them a modern gloss." - 25:171

"[Richard] Wagner called for Art's return to its high vocation of symbolically expressing divine truth, and he announced is program to redeem the world from materialism by the practice of symbolically conceived music." - 33:44

    "It's worth noting how official art came about in the US. Most Americans have a dismissive attitude towards so-called modern art imagining that its abstract imagery is due to artistic preferences. In fact, it has far more to do with the CIA and America's ruling elite - in particular the Rockefeller family.
    "In the nineteen thirties and forties American artists were heavily involved in protests against poverty, racism and corporate control. They used figurative art, murals and realism not only to express their feeling about these social problems but to rally the public to do something about them.
    "Then the State Department, the CIA and the Rockefellers stepped in and began promoting abstract art, beginning with the Rockefellers' Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Ever wonder why America's wealthiest families spend billions on giant paintings and sculptures that represent nothing and why the government erects huge museums to display these non-wonders? In the fifties and sixties the government created public school programs to brainwash American children about art. Millions of these children then grew up to become artists specializing in abstraction and non-figurative art." - 57

    "...Vasili Kandinsky...painted the famous watercolor that, despite all counterclaims, has still the best title to be called 'the first abstract picture.'... Kandinsky attended lectures by [Rudolf] Steiner in Murnau and Berlin...
    "In 1911 Kandinsky and Franz Marc organized the first Blaue Reiter exhibition in Berlin, the year before Kandinsky published his Theosophically inclined book, On the Spiritual in Art. Marc himself was greatly influenced by Kandinsky's occult color theories. He saw art as religion and abstract art as 'second sight.' He himself hoped for 'liberation from the sense-illusions of our ephemeral life.'" - 33:421-2

"Franz Marc defined the present task of the artist: 'to create out of their work symbols for their own time [and place] on the altars of a future spiritual religion'." - 256:312

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent… Acts 17:29

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. - II Cor. 6:16-18

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. - I John 5:21

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. - Deuteronomy 18:9-14

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. - Rev. 14:9-11

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion... My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. - - Prov. 1:1-4, 2:1-9

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. - Genesis 6:5, 6

 

"The natural law asserted the primacy of instinct, the cultivation of savage virtues." - 33:88

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25

"...Druidry is a spiritual philosophy based on natural law." - 311

"All the available evidence stresses that Druidic culture was dedicated to the furtherance of peace, liberty and the rights of the individual. It was not just a religion; it was the source radiated the entire system of organized civil and religious knowledge and practice of the Celts." - 266:44

        CHURCH AGE 

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those who are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. - II.Ti.3:1-5

 

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ... But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. - Jude 1:4,10

"...Renaissance men such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Marsillio Ficino of the Platonic Academy in Florence revived the artistic styles and metaphysical values of classical antiquity, notably in Italy." - 169:18

"Aleister Crowley .... evoked a spirit he called Aiwass, who dictated to him a work call the ... (Book of the Law), which ... was reducible to a single precept:... 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."' - 36:58

 

"If there is a more or less 'official' morality in Masonry, it is the morality of nature. In his Textbook of Masonic Jurisprudence, Mackey contrasted this law of nature with the Ten Commandments: 'Every Mason is obliged by his tenure to obey moral law. Now this moral law is not to be considered as confined to the decalogue of Moses, within which narrow limits the ecclesiastical writers technically retain it, but rather is alluding to what is called the lex naturae or the law of nature...'

"[Martin L.] Wagner has revealed [in Freemasonry and Interpretation] how it was under the powerful influence of deism in the eighteenth century that Masonry adopted its moral law of nature... Wagner shows why the law of nature that Masonry adopts is not the same as the 'law of nature' spoken of by theologians nor the moral law of Christianity: 'This law of nature is simply the natural inclination of human nature acting without let or hindrance as expressed or exhibited in the free life of nature... This law of nature is not a command... It is not addressed to creatures, but it exists rather as instinct. It's substantially identical with the 'divine nature' as conceived of in the Phrygian and other ancient mysteries, the ancient Freemasonry, to whose ethical ideas and symbolism Masonic writers frequently refer as illustrations and warrants for their moral ideas and practices.

"The standard of Masonic morality is the law of nature, and so long as he obeys it, he is a moral man. He may steal, lie, deceive, and commit adultery outside of the circumscribed sphere of the fraternity, and not be guilty of any immorality, Masonically viewed. He is under a different moral government, bound by a different moral law, and guided by a different system of ethics. Masonry by its covenant makes the essence of morality consist in the relation of the individual to Masonry (italics added)." - 254:68-69

"The works of Abraham Maslow are being used to justify Natural Law [as] the basis of a program called Character Education, which is being used in at least 12,000 classrooms across the nation." - 32:14

"Founded in 1993, the Club of Budapest [of which Robert Muller is a member] is an international association dedicated to developing a new way of thinking and a new ethic that will help tackle social, political, economic, and ecological challenges of the 21st century." - 307

"[The Gospel of Thomas states:] Finally, detach yourself from everything feminine; for even feminine beings must become male if they are to enter the Kingdom. In this way you will reach the fullness, the unity of the elect... and finally, within yourselves, let perfect unity take the place of primitive dissociation and 'division': in other words, let the 'outside' become as 'inside', the 'upper' like the 'lower', the male like the female; let the first become last: in short, let there be reunion of opposites and COMPLETE REVERSAL OF EVERYTHING, of all values cosmic and human." - 230:346

"Institute of Noetic Sciences [founder]...ex-astronaut Edgar Mitchell...declares, 'The absolutes of good and evil that we have looked for in the universe simply don't exist."' - 35:245

"Hans Kung...said to the UN in 1991...[the Global Ethic] 'must center on both man and universe so that humanistic and religious precepts are included." - 70:10

"Textual Biblical studies indicate that adham [Adam] (Hebrew) includes male and female, and that our being 'made' in the image of God...male and female (Gen. 1:27) suggests the androgynous character of God... Paul writes that in Christ there is neither male nor female... From this perspective people should be encouraged to develop a new kind of wholeness, exhibiting a variety of  characteristics. This requires a restructuring of values in a society so that the traditional male-female competition disappears, hierarchical structures are reshaped, and patriarchialism is renounced. In theory, this might lead to a 'unisex', in which a recombining of male-female traits leads to the disappearance of sexual differences. Or it could indicate a transcending of sex-specific characteristics with a fuller self-realization of each person." - 234:48

"The Global Ethic, which was signed by Robert Muller and the other interfaith dignitaries present [at the 1993 Parliament of World Religions], is emerging as a companion to the Earth Charter...

"...The Saturnalia...is a suspension of laws and customs, for the behavior of the sexes is now exactly the opposite of what it should normally be. This reversal of behavior implies a total confusion of values, a specific make of all orgiastic rituals. There is, in fact, a formal correspondence between intersexual transvestism and symbolic androgyny and orgiastic ritual... In either case one finds a ritual 'totalization', a reintegration of opposites, a regression to the primordial and homogenous...a symbolic restoration of 'Chaos'...that preceded the Creation..." - 380:113-14

"The grove is the site of a two week retreat every July (as well as other smaller get-togethers throughout the year). At these retreats, the members commune with nature in a truly original way. They drink heavily from morning through the night, bask in their freedom to urinate on the redwoods, and perform pagan rituals (including the 'Cremation of Care', in which the members wearing red-hooded robes, cremate a coffin effigy of 'Dull Care' at the base of a 40 foot owl altar). Some (20%) engage in homosexual activity (but few of them support gay rights or AIDS research). They watch (and participate in) plays and comedy shows in which women are portrayed by male actors. Although women are not allowed in the Grove, members often leave at night to enjoy the company of the many prostitutes who come from around the world for this event. Is any of this hard to believe?

"The Adamites was an obscure sect which developed in North Africa during the second and third centuries, and are mentioned by Epiphanius and Augustine. They referred to their church as 'Paradise,' rejected marriage because Adam did not do it, and practiced nudism during worship services.

"A similar sect developed for a brief time in Bohemia during the 15th century and was associated with the radical reformist Husserite movement. Members wanted to return to a more primitive religion which was patterned after the Garden of Eden. People rejected priests, went around naked, and believed themselves to exist in a sinless state. This was, however, too radical even for the Hussites who eventually massacred the Adamites." - 727

It is being held against a background of growing interest in New Age religion and white magic...

"According to one of the speakers, a number of clergy already participated in joint Christian and pagan services, but there was still too much ignorance and hostility. Mark Graham, of the Pagan Federation, which represents Druidry, wicca and shamanism, said: 'Some pagans believe in magic, just like some Christians believe in the power of prayer and miracles.

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. - Matt. 5:27-30

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. - Heb. 13:4

PROGRAM OF GOD

Church Age: The Scriptures alone contain the doctrinal tradition which the apostles delivered to the Church.

PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION

Pre-Flood Era: The root of philosophy is the ancient tradition of Hermetic occultism.

Old Testament Period: Platonic philosophy based on Hermetic occultism formed the basis of Jewish Gnosticism.

Church Age: Hermetic philosophy was carried on by secret societies and mystery schools and was integrated with Christianity as Neo-Platonism in Alexandria, Egypt. Pseudo-Christian apologetics now seek to reconcile philosophy and the Bible.

Tribulation: Pseudo-Christian theologians will elevate philosophy, especially Neo-Platonism, above the Word of God.

Great Tribulation: Occult philosophy will become the foundation for the enlightenment of humanity.

PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

    PROGRAM OF GOD

CHURCH AGE

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle... Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. - II Thes. 2:15, 3:6

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

“The Kybalion is a book which studies the Hermetic Philosophy of ancient Egypt and Greece. The word Hermetic having its roots in the name Hermes Trismegistus, a teacher of occult philosophy also known as 'Master of Masters' in ancient Egypt... It is in fact acknowledged by most serious students of esoteric arts to be the Great Central Sun of Occultism. The student of Comparative Religions may perceive the influence of Hermetic Teachings in every Religion.” - 497

 

"With a high level of consciousness, and with the aid of the seven universal principles known as the Kyballion, the Hermetist can transmute the external conditions of his/her life, as well as the limitations and defects of his/her personality, to reach true freedom. The seven principles are the following:
1º The Principle of Mentalism: All is mind; the Universe is mental.
2º The Principle of Correspondence: As it is above so it is below, as it is below, so it is above.
3º The Principle of Vibration: Nothing is stationary; everything moves; everything vibrates.
4º The Principle of Polarity: Everything is dual; everything has two poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; the extremes meet; all truth is semi-truth; all paradoxes can be reconciled.
5º The Principle of Rhythm: Everything flows out and in; everything rises and falls; the swing of the pendulous is manifested in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of swing to the left; rhythm is the compensation.
6º The Principle of Cause and Effect: Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to the Law. Chance is but a name given to a Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but none escape this law.
7º The Principle of Generation: Gender is in everything; everything has a masculine and feminine principle; the gender is manifested on all planes." - 498

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. - Eccles. 1:1-2

"Alexandria early became one of the principle centers in the world for the study of philosophy and theology, and when Egypt converted to Christianity many of the Alexandrian church fathers became deeply embroiled in controversies. Philo, Origen, Arius, and Clement represent a few of the different positions originating in Alexandria. Traditional Greek philosophers and pagan, Jewish, Christian, orthodox and heterodox interpretations - all had their adherents here living virtually side by side for some time." - 146:46 ("Egyptian Religion")

 

"Gnosticism (after gnôsis, the Greek word for 'knowledge' or 'insight') is the name given to a loosely organized religious and philosophical movement that flourished in the first and second centuries CE. The exact origin(s) of this school of thought cannot be traced, although it is possible to locate influences or sources as far back as the second and first centuries BCE, such as the early treatises of the Corpus Hermeticum, the Jewish Apocalyptic writings, and especially Platonic philosophy and the Hebrew Scriptures themselves." - 753

        CHURCH AGE

"The Rosicrucian's political manifesto included...the radical reformation of...philosophy in accordance with spiritual principles..." - 25:49

"The mystical beliefs of the secret societies of the secret societies were, and indeed are, based on the Hermetic maxim 'As above - so below' which teaches that the natural world is a material rejection of the spiritual. It forms the esoteric basis for the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries, Gnosticism, Esoteric Christianity, the Cabbala, the Hermetic tradition, alchemy and societies such as the Templars, Freemasons and Rosicrucians." - 25:170-71

"'As above, so below'...[in mysticism] means that the soul and God are one and the same." - 454:232

"Liber Oz tells us that 'there is no god but man'. Grant comments that the underlying doctrine is obvious. When a man, growing in consciousness by repeated acts of love under will, expands his consciousness to embrace all other consciousness, he becomes Pan, i.e. One with All." - 337

"...Druidry is a spiritual philosophy based on natural law." - 311  

See: Character Education: Natural Law*

'The command over all things natural... - over bodies, medicine, mechanical powers and infinite others of this kind - is the one proper and ultimate end of true natural philosophy.' - 40:27

"My chief impression is a strong feeling of incapacity to criticize, partly from want of knowledge, and still more from not having fully thought out cardinal questions, such as the relation of ‘philosophy’ and ‘faith’; E.g. you seem to me to make (Greek) philosophy worthless for those who have received the Christian revelation. To me, though in a hazy way, it seems full of precious truth of which I find nothing, and should be very much astonished and perplexed to find anything, in revelation… Without condemning anything you have said on the Stoics, I yet feel you have not done them justice. The spiritual need which supported, if it did not originate, their doctrine is, I think, profoundly interesting, above all in the present day." (B.F. Westcott) - 139:449, (Vol.I)

        TRIBULATION PERIOD

 

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

"The foundation of special organizations such as the Royal Society, social movements and religious groups, was only a staging post for the grand plan of uniting religion, science, and the arts into a universal philosophy for the enlightenment of the human race." - 25:170

PERSONAL APPLICATION

Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition... But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men... Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. - Matt. 16:6,9,14

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. - Col. 2:8
