New Age Globalization Mission Vs. America’s Christian Globalization Mission
By Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer
–
New Age globalization is ushering in a New World Order. The rising importance of indigenous peoples’ religious beliefs within the New Age globalization mission has helped United Nations leaders into the forefront of this mission. This globalization mission is anti-Christian and it’s a countering voice to the corrupt American capitalist-imperialist system. This system is propagated by the American Christian political ethic, as it seeks to accomplish America’s Christian globalization mission.
“… America has a God-given mission to establish God’s kingdom ~ made in the U.S.A ~ all over the world. That’s one meaning of Globalization.” (quote by Gaston Roberge)
The American system is a greedy, earth-destroying and people-oppressing imperialist system that needs to come to a speedy end. It needs to, as New Age globalization moves forward to fulfill its destiny of saving the earth and establishing a New World Order. Then the earth will be saved and humanity will be united and liberated.
In 1900, the U.S. Supreme Court said with regard to U.S. global expansionism, “a false step at this time might prove fatal to what Chief Justice Marshall called the American Empire.” George Washington once remarked that the thirteen states had “laid the foundation of a great empire.” Currently, to maintain and expand their global empire, the U.S. rulers keep over 700 military bases in 130 countries. The U.S. has invaded, backed brutal regimes, and fomented coups against governments that stood in the way of its empire-building, globalization mission.
The American Empire is a term used to describe the historical expansionism and current political, military, economic, religious and cultural influence of the United States on a global scale. U.S. historical empire-expansionism traces its beginning not to the Spanish-American War, but to the invasion and occupation of Native American Indian land, from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean.
Steven T. Newcomb, an internationally renowned Native American activist, wrote in his article Healing, Restoration, and Rematriation, “… the United States has a political economy based on the concept of Christian imperium, which is ‘a dominion, state or sovereignty’ that insists on expanding in population and territory, and constantly increasing in strength and power…Thomas Jefferson declared, ‘I am persuaded no constitution was ever before as well calculated as ours for extensive empire.’ The toll that U.S. empire-building has taken on Native peoples in loss of lives and lands is truly staggering…”
America’s warmongering history is one of conquest and dominion, of brutal empire expansionism and imposition of social order through outright genocidal warfare against Native tribes, theft of land from Mexico and Spain, invasion of Russia after World War I, followed by a succession of military interventions in Korea, Indochina, Central America, the Balkans, and more recently in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Today the ethos of militarism-of conquest, domination, violence, and Empire, which is responsible for a legacy of U.S. War Crimes, permeates the American economy, political institutions and culture.
The United States has become an outlaw nation, by violating international treaties and obligations. The U.S. Patriot Act, violates the Biological Weapons Convention, an international treaty. The Military Commissions Act contains a number of provisions that are incompatible with the international obligations of the United States under human rights law and humanitarian law. The U.S. is intent on transforming the process of globalization into the building blocks of Empire and military domination.
The U.S. presides over an Empire, made possible by its controlling presence in world production and finance, its vast military power, its leading role in the spread of information technology, and its capacity to transform the world with its influencing emphasis on privatization, deregulation, technology, and consumerism. Using that awesome leverage, the U.S. reasserts its dominion over the world’s weaker nations, over international structures, and of course over nature-as it pursues its quest for growth and profits.
The popular American view is that this nation has a unique “global Christian mission” as a “Great Nation” to extend the frontiers of “democracy, freedom, peace, justice, prosperity”. This view is a grandiose, U.S. Christian delusional world view.
In respect to other nations, the type of democracy that America is promoting is not the type of democracy associated with freedom. It’s a self-serving type of U.S. controlled subservient-democracy that America is promoting across the world. By doing so, America is seeking to accomplish its globalization mission. It’s globalization mission is to create a world wherein all nations have a subservience [to the U.S] type of government. Thereby, America gains total world dominance and ruler ship over all nations and peoples.
Since 9/11, the United States has intensified its mission to do everything in its power to maintain its military supremacy, and it now arrogates the right to preemptive war. In respect to these “two pillars”, the Washington Post published the following statements by the world renowned political activist George Soros. (1.) “Taken together, these two pillars support two classes of sovereignty: the sovereignty of the United States, which takes precedence over international treaties and obligations, and the sovereignty of all other states.” (2.) “There has been an unprecedented rift between the United States and what Donald Rumsfeld calls ‘old Europe,’ because the United States now demands unquestioning subservience from its allies.”
Native American Indian governments are subservient [to the U.S.] Democratic Republics, and America is doing nothing to rectify this injustice. Even within its “own” homeland, America still promotes this type of subservient “democracy”.
For anyone committed to equal human dignity, democratic government means collective self government, not laws and regulations imposed by foreigners. Foreign “democratic” governments that America has helped establish find that they can stay in power only with ongoing American support and dehumanizing control. So, rather than having become free nations, they have become cogs in the American empire-building, imperial machine. After gaining control of smaller nations, the U.S. then takes advantage of them by ripping off their natural resources. The America Empire is obsessed with its pursuit of more power and more material gain to satisfy its ever-increasing consumerist addictions.
Setting up democracies in other countries is a way to take strong leaders out of power, and replace them with a system of government that can never emerge to challenge the U.S. without American knowledge and approval. Also, a country that has become democratized by the U.S. will often split up along ethnic/religious lines, and the people who inhabit these areas will be absolutely powerless to stop America, the world’s strongest nation, from subjugating and controlling them. America’s imposing-democracy mission of world conquest is truly the modern version of Caesar’s divide and conquer, empire-building campaign.
America’s system of creating subservient democracies the world over is a way to reinforce United States status as the world’s sole super-power and dominant world leader, as well as create a global system of government that U.S. officials can fully control. The United States Empire uses imposing “democracy” to rule the world.
America is alone in believing that it is the epitome of freedom. The rest of the world does not share this myth about America. Even fascist regimes, dictators and terrorists do not see America as a “free country” (contrary to what Hollywood and the U.S. media portray). Rather, they see America as an Imperial Empire trying to take away the freedoms of all nations and peoples, and attempting to dominate and control everyone to exploit their natural resources.
Latin America: Former President Juan Bosch of the Dominican Republic said, “Even if the American people elected Saint Francis of Assisi as their president, the US system would proceed unchanged, always exploiting the countries of the south.” Ecuador’s president Rafael Correa said, “US foreign policy has historically been antagonistic to progressive change in Latin America, and has been marked by attitudes of domination and arrogance. The United States must learn to respect the autonomy and sovereignty of Latin American countries, even small ones,…”
Asia: In 1998, Admiral Joseph W. Prueher, then the Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Command, said, in respect to official U.S. policy: “The United States has regarded its dominance over Asia as permanent and would not let it be challenged by anyone.” US imperialism regards its domination over Asia as its right and it allows no other nation to challenge it. In the name of freedom and democracy, the US protects its corrupt, world-domination, economic interests by its military might.
A statement on the International Forum On Globalization website reads: “U.S.-China struggles for global economic and political leadership have begun, and are largely playing out in the Asia-Pacific regions in terms of enormous trade and resource battles, intimidating militarism and forward base construction, continued colonialism and suppression of Pacific sovereignty movements, all of it with vast negative environmental and social consequences. A number of nations in Asia want to break-away from U.S. military presences, which are hugely oppressive—including Guam, Tinian, the Mariannas, Okinawa, Jedju, and also the U.S. controlled Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean,…”
During the Cold War era the United States maintained its domination over Asia through wars of aggression, first in Korea and then in Vietnam. Beginning with invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, the US has been able to use the September 11th attacks and its war on terror to justify (1.) its imposition of subservient-democracy on two more Asia countries, and (2.) its expansion of military control over Asia, and (3.) its increasing economic-domination of Asia.
Africa: Sekou Nkrumah, activist, writer and son of the late President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, said: “Domination of Africa’s resources would give America, so the capitalists think, the competitive edge over the rest of the world in the area of trade and the extraction of Africa’s resources.”
Nkrumah also said that American neo-colonialism in Africa is equivalent to “international state terrorism,” strangling African economies. America helped enslave African nations to debt from IMF and World Bank loans to enable the “extracting and exploiting of resources, thereby creating starvation, wars, division, disease, poverty, and under development,” all acts of terrorism.
In addition, Nkrumah said that the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), launched in 2007, is America’s latest strategy to establish U.S. military bases on Africa’s soil, and do so, to remain an economic competitor against the European Union and China, under the guise of fostering peace and security.
The United States became a world power over a century ago with rapid expansion to other parts of the world, including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, parts of the Samoan Islands and other Pacific islands. Although the rapid expansion ceased, the U.S. continued to maintain its status as a world power through military might and its involvement with many foreign countries. In modern times, the U.S. approach to (1.) continuing as a world power, and (2.) increasing its controlling-domination of the world, involves maintaining and eventually increasing its economic and military supremacy status. And doing so, by keeping its Native/aboriginal peoples subjugated and controlled, supporting its many puppet dictators, dominating and controlling international structures (such as NATO, IMF and the UN, etc.), imposing subservient-democracies on more foreign countries and coercing subservience from its allies around the world.
The American Empire was founded on a 15th Century European, Christian empire-building paradigm. It is the root cause of the United States’ exploitive and often violent actions toward many smaller foreign nations around the world. The U.S. continues these exploitive actions to gain control of other nations. By doing so, it expands its empire and gains ground toward accomplishing its globalization mission. This adopted U.S. paradigm is also the root cause of the dehumanizing subjugation of indigenous nations here in the United States.
The old European, Christian empire-building, paradigm that America adopted became manifest when the Vatican put forth a series of 15th century papal bulls (collectively known as the Doctrine of Discovery) and European Christian monarchs subsequently created colonial charters based on them. This Christian doctrine sanctioned and promoted ruthless imperialism and White Christian supremacy over indigenous pagan peoples.
In April, 2010, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues presented a preliminary study on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. The expert members of this United Nations forum have declared that the doctrine is “the historical root of ongoing violations of indigenous peoples, which for centuries served as ‘legal’ rationale for stealing land and dehumanizing indigenous peoples, as well as justification for the establishment of boarding schools throughout North America to ‘civilize’ Indian children.”
In one of the doctrine’s papal bulls, Inter Cetera, Pope Alexander VI stated his desire that the “discovered” people be “subjugated and brought to the faith itself.” By this means, said the pope, the “Christian Empire” would be propagated. Romanus Pontifex was another one of the doctrine’s papal bulls. According to a United Nations World Conference Against Racism document: “Romanus Pontifex, issued by Pope Nicholas V to King Alfonso of Portugal in 1452, declared war against all non-Christians throughout the world.”
This White racist and religious bigoted, warmongering Christian empire-building doctrine, the Doctrine of Discovery, was adopted into U.S. federal Indian law, by way of the 1823 Johnson v. M’Intosh ruling. To this present-day it remains the cornerstone of federal Indian Law. It also serves as the guiding principle of U.S. foreign policies and actions associated with this nation’s Christian, empire-building, globalization mission.
According to Steven T. Newcomb, a world renowned expert on this topic, the Doctrine of Discovery instructed colonizing European Christian nations …”to assume ‘ultimate dominion’ over the lands of America during the Age of Discovery, and that upon ‘discovery’, the Indians had lost ‘their rights to complete sovereignty, as independent nations,’ and only retained a right of ‘occupancy’ in their lands. According to Chief Justice Marshall, the United States, upon winning its independence in 1776, became a successor nation to the right of ‘discovery’ and acquired the power of ‘dominion’ from Great Britain. Today, five centuries later, the United States government still uses this archaic Judeo-Christian doctrine to deny the rights of Native American Indians.”
After the first hundred years of U.S. Christian empire-building, genocidal warfare the vast majority of the indigenous population was eliminated and the remainder were placed on reservations that were often far from their original sacred homelands.
According to Steven T. Newcomb, “U.S. Indian policies have been based on the underlying, hidden rationale of ‘Christian discovery’ – a rationale which holds that the ‘heathen’ indigenous peoples of the Americas are ‘subordinate to the first Christian discoverer,’ or its successor. As Thomas Jefferson once observed, when the state uses church doctrine as a coercive tool, the result is ‘hypocrisy and meanness.’ Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court’s use of the ancient Christian Doctrine of Discovery – to circumvent the Constitution as a means of taking Indian lands and placing Indian nations under U.S. control – has proven Madison and Jefferson right.”
If Native America Indian tribes were to declare their independence as fully sovereign nation states and reclaim complete ownership of their sacred traditional homelands, and then start producing “illegal” weapons to defend themselves against the United States, a nation that has subjugated them because of its belief in, and policies based on, a 15th century Christian supremacist doctrine, the U.S. military would violently put an end to their insurrections. By doing so, the U.S. military would be circumventing the Constitution by defending an American Christian supremacist law and policy. The U.S. continues to use its Christian supremacist, Doctrine of Discovery ideology and policies to deny this land’s Native peoples their fundamental human right to own land and be fully independent sovereign nations.
When the thirteen British colonies were established on what is now known as the East Coast of America, this development was an expansion of the European based Christian Empire. This European colonizing, Christian empire expanding, development was based on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery paradigm.
Then, when the thirteen colonies became an independent nation, the Christian Doctrine of Discovery was modified and adopted by the newly founded American Empire. At the time, America abandoned the European based Christian Empire expanding mission, and established the American based Christian Empire expanding mission.
There is a ultra-nationalistic, Christian supremacist principle guiding America’s globalization mission. It is based on America’s Christian Doctrine of Discovery paradigm, Biblical scriptures and U.S. “civil religion” public discourse.
It has been commonplace for American presidents, beginning with George Washington, to claim in public addresses that the United States is “a divinely chosen nation”. “In God we trust” and “one nation under God” are also commonplace American identity-establishing slogans. Scholars have labeled such discourse “civil religion,” in which national leaders emphasize religious symbols and principles to engender a sense of unity and shared national identity.
The mentioned above “civil religion” discourse, along with additional commonplace discourse, such as political leaders, including many Founding Fathers, referring to the U.S. as “God’s new Israel” or “Zion”, and its citizens “God’s new chosen people” …has engrained in the national psychic an ultra-nationalist, Christian-religious-delusional, superiority mentality that causes many Americans to participate in the U.S. effort to gain total world dominance through its globalization mission.
Many of the Founding Fathers believed that America was “God’s new Israel”. For them it was a newly founded nation inhabited by God’s “new chosen people”. Benjamin Franklin described the independent colony on the East Coast as “God’s new Israel”. Thomas Jefferson argued that the Great Seal of the United States should depict the Israelites, “led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night”. President George W. Bush told an audience of his: “When William Bradford stepped off the Mayflower in 1620, he quoted the words of [the Hebrew prophet] Jeremiah 51:10: ‘Come let us declare in Zion the word of God.'” To this present-day, America, for many Christians, has the adopted names — “Zion” and “Israel”.
Therefore, the following biblical scriptures fuel the delusional, total global dominance, U.S. Christian supremacist agenda. “Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many nations (Micah 4:13) …For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste (Isa 60:12) …Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel (Psalm 2:8-9) …And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom [of Israel which] shall crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever.(Dan 2:44)”
When Lieutenant-Colonel Hensley was the top military chaplain in Afghanistan, he said, while speaking of the (mentioned above) apocalyptic times he believes we are in: “You know, the US soldiers there have a mission basically to, you know, carry out the work of God.” He then declared that “We are the new Israel”.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hensley believes that the mentioned above “Israel”, the “new Israel” (America and its military) “shall crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever.(Dan 2:44)” He believes that the kingdoms/nations that America and its military (“Israel”) “shall crush” are Islamic kingdoms and all other kingdoms/nations that are opposed to America’s, total global domination, Christian mission. This American mission can also be called the U.S. Christian empire-building, globalization mission.
A growing number of people in the U.S. armed forces believe that the U.S. military has a Christian mission to conquer the world for Jesus Christ and establish the Biblical prophesied “millennium age”.
After researching what past and present-day protestant religious leaders and national political leaders (including some of the Founding Fathers) have said about America, historians have stated that American’s mission is to expand the “American Empire” (Kingdom) to the “ends of the earth”, and that national religious and political leaders believe that when this is accomplished, this “Kingdom”/Empire of God, the completed American Empire, “will stand forever”. In addition, they believe that when this “Kingdom” is established, Jesus Christ will return to rule and reign throughout the Biblical-prophesied millennium age.
In the next several paragraphs, I explain how two White American Christian supremacists ideologies and principles, called Manifest Destiny and Planetary Manifest Destiny, are based on the [modified for the U.S.], Doctrine of Discovery, Christian empire-expanding, paradigm.
Manifest Destiny was used to subjugate American’s indigenous peoples/nations and Planetary Manifest Destiny is still being used, successfully, by the U.S. to subjugate other nations across the world. By doing so, the U.S. expands its empire and also moves forward in its efforts to accomplish its globalization mission.
Since 1823, the White American Christian political ethic has supported the Doctrine of Discovery as the cornerstone of U.S. federal Indian law. It has also supported a similar early American, Christian supremacy principle called “Manifest Destiny”. Like the Christian Doctrine of Discovery, Manifest Destiny also contributed to the legitimization of the dehumanizing subjugation and control of this land’s indigenous tribal peoples. Manifest Destiny was the American Christian-religious justification for the oppressive westward expansion of America’s land base (expanding the American Christian Empire) from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean.
While viewing America as “God’s new Israel”, Theodore Roosevelt used a biblical story to justify a great American injustice, he wrote: “What were the abominations because of which the Canaanites were destroyed before Joshua, when compared with the abominations of the red savages whose lands they, another chosen people, should in their turn inherit? America justifies the thief of its aboriginal native people’s homelands from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean …because Israel of old, “as directed by God”, took [all] of the Canaanites’ land.
Manifest Destiny, a term coined by John O’Sullivan in 1845, when he wrote an editorial supportive of westward expansionism, was explicitly an American religious justification for oppressive westward expansionism in the name of its supposed “divinely assigned Christian destiny”. By extension, “Planetary Manifest Destiny” is an explicit American religious justification for oppressive global expansionism in the name of it’s supposed “divinely assigned Christian destiny”.
Mikey Weinstein, the founder of Military Religious Freedom Foundation and author of the book “With God On Our Side: One Man’s War Against an Evangelical Coup in America’s Military”, has been for years on the national forefront in the fight against the efforts of Evangelical Christian supremacists in the armed forces to fully convert the U.S. military (“the new Israel”) to the Planetary Manifest Destiny ideology and mission.
Weinstein says 84% of U.S. Military Chaplains are Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christians and the U.S. Military is a Christian proselytizing institution. He often warns people of the very real threat of a Christian military coup of the U.S.. Weinstein told a four-star general, “We’re about two inches away, you know, from a fundamentalist Christian America through our US military.”
Weinstein’s organization has received two nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The fight has changed Weinstein. He has a darker view of American history now, acknowledging, (in the words of the author of a Weinstein-interview article)“the genocidal underbelly of the American Christian conception of ‘Manifest Destiny’.” Inside the Military Police building at Fort Riley, a printout on an office door displayed columnist Ann Coulter’s, Planetary Manifest Destiny, statement: “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
Manifest Destiny sanctioned the expansion of the American land base and American Christian Empire westward from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean. Planetary Manifest Destiny sanctions the expansion of American military bases across the world, American control over other nations and the expansion of the American based Christian Empire across the world.
How-days, American global expansionism is not so much about expanding the land base of America, but about gaining control of other nations and making them into Americanized subservient satellite nations of the United States.
Every generation of American foreign-policy architects have promoted the Christian supremacy propaganda of the U.S. Planetary Manifest Destiny belief. This is summarized as, the U.S. has the Christian, God-given divine right and mission to eventually dominate and rule the world; and it will fulfill its glorious destiny.
Currently, the White American Christian political ethic supports (1.) the Doctrine of Discovery as the cornerstone of U.S. federal Indian law (which sanctions the continuation of the dehumanizing subjugation of this land’s indigenous peoples) …and (2.) the accomplishment of “Manifest Destiny” (which justifies the theft of indigenous peoples’ land’s and resources during oppressive westward expansionism) …and (3.) “Planetary Manifest Destiny” (which sanctions world-wide American oppressive-expansionism, and also America’s supposed infallible Christian destiny to establish a New World Order; and then dominate and rule over all nations and peoples).
The White American Christian political ethic systematizes its logic to hide the real face, the hateful face, of its White racism, Christian-religious-bigotry, warmongering-militarism, people-oppressing and earth-destroying capitalist-imperialism.
Christianity’s colonial-imperialistic mission did not bring justice or equality but aggression and dehumanizing subjugation to indigenous peoples around the world. Its racial and religious bigoted beliefs led to the world’s worst genocide, and the wanton destruction of tens of thousands of earth-focused, ecologically-conscious, indigenous cultures and religions. Most Christian leaders have not yet repented. The Pope and many other Christian leaders have not yet apologized for Christian colonialism and the consequential unrepentant, current dehumanizing subjugation of indigenous peoples. [note: To fine and read an article of mine on this topic click on (1.) or (2.)]
Internationally renowned human rights advocates contend: (1.) past human rights violations faced by indigenous peoples, such as religious persecution, forced conversion to Christianity, genocide, ethnocide, ethnic cleansing, wars of conquest, the spreading of deadly diseases, slavery, grand theft of lands and resources, denial of their full sovereignty rights, desecration of many of their sacred sites, destruction of their eco-spirituality, pagan religions, etc. – and (2.) present-day human rights violations being faced by indigenous peoples, including the continuing dehumanizing subjugation of these peoples, mainly inflicted by denying them ownership of their sacred traditional homelands and full sovereignty rights on those lands, can all be traced to the 15th century Christian/Vatican Doctrine of Discovery, which was an international legal construct. They’re also saying that the doctrine comes very close to a religious root cause of the world’s major problems.
Indian Country Today (ICT), the world’s largest Indian news source, recently published a letter of mine about my work to expose and rectify the injustices caused by the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. The letter includes my correspondence with and support from a world renowned leader of the movement to expose and rectify the doctrine’s injustices, Steven T. Newcomb.
In an ICT letter, titled A New Paradigm, I presented my perspective on how a new paradigm is being established, a new paradigm that will help unite the world’s religions into a single religion, the syncretistic New Age religion. When fully mature, this religion will serve as the basis and principle of unity for a New World Order. Through this New World Order humanity will be united, liberated and experiencing world peace; and the earth will be saved from its current ecological crisis.
Al Gore wrote in his book Earth in the Balance: “The richness and diversity of our religious tradition throughout history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. But the emergence of a civilization in which knowledge moves freely and almost instantaneously through the world has …spurred a renewed investigation of the wisdom distilled by all faiths. This panreligious perspective may prove especially important where our global civilization’s responsibility for the earth is concerned.”
In our day and age, a new paradigm is beginning to become manifest. A growing number of people of the traditional Christian faith for the first time in their lives are opening their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. Therefore, diverse spiritualities, such as Yoga and Transcendental Meditation (Hinduism), Zen (Buddhism), some aspects of an unorthodox expression of the Christian charismatic movement and many of the indigenous pagan, religious beliefs, especially including indigenous people’s earth saving, eco-spirituality beliefs …are converging to form a new religious outlook. This New Age religious outlook is replacing whatever remains of the traditional Christian world view within Western civilization.
These mentioned above converging currents of different types of paganism and some aspects of Christianity will ultimately comprise the religion of the future – a New Universal Religion. It will serve as the basis and principle of unity for a New World Order. Then humanity will be united and liberate.
In an article by Barbara Aho, The Latter Rain Revival, there are quotes from prominent New Age Movement leaders. They describe why they believe an unorthodox, charismatic Christian Movement, the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement, is “a part of the New Age Movement”.
I believe that the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement is NOT a part of the New Age Movement, but that some aspects of it can and should be incorporated into the New Age Movement. To help get this accomplished, I have taken the lead and incorporated some aspects of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement into my expression of the New Age Movement. Or, in other worlds, into my expression of the New Age globalization mission.
A quote from the article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “Alice Bailey, Theosophist and mother of the modern New Age Movement, revealed an ingenious plan in her 1957 volume, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy. Cabalist agents would infiltrate the Christian Church to modify its message, while adapting it as a vehicle for the Universal Religion of the 21st Century.”
New Age religious teachings and the Christian religion are merging and will soon become ONE. By way of this process, a New Order of the Church is being established. When it is fully established it will be a New Age (essentially Hindu) Church. Jesus Christ will be its guru and He and His (new-church-order) followers will usher in the fullness of the Kingdom of God on earth.
Astrology divides time into units called ages which correspond to the signs of the zodiac. Each age lasts from 2000 to 2400 years. This progression outlines the evolution of the universe and mankind. According to this tenant we are now moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The New Age teaches that as we pass from the old order church age (the Piscean Age) into the new order church age (the Age of Aquarius) we will evolve and become God.
Hindus and New Agers believe humanity is evolving to become God. They believe a small number of themselves are already experiencing Godhood and that the rest of them are still on their way to reaching Godhood. They also believe that every human being will eventually attain Godhood. In addition, they believe that before the “Big Bang” creation of the universe we were God. The Manifest Sons of God teach that if one accepted their “new revelation” that they themselves would actually become Christ (reach “Christ Consciousness” or Godhood) at the time of the unveiling or “manifestation of the Sons of God”. (Romans 8:19)
Another quote from the article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “According to Rick Joyner, a highly sought-after speaker at international conferences, Christianity must be destabilized and redefined by modern apostles, prophets, etc. to finalize Alice Bailey’s plan to “take the great basic doctrines and shatter the old forms in which they are expressed and held.”
A “great basic doctrine” of Christianity is found in Ephesians 4:11-13, “And He Himself gave some apostles, and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
This scripture teaches that the church order of the five-fold ministry will last up until the time when the true followers of Jesus Christ (those who follow Jesus where-ever he goes) start moving “unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. [note: The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are of the five-fold ministry church order; they are the apostolic succession churches.]
New Agers believe that Jesus was a “pattern son” who showed the way to the “Divine Christ Consciousness”, or the “perfect man” in every human being. A great awakening is now occurring in the evolution of human history. This awakening and evolution of humanity towards the “Christ Consciousness”, or the “perfect man” in all of us is called the coming of the Age of Aquarius. The goal of the New Age Movement has consistently been to usher in the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize the God within.
Paramahansa Yogananda, hailed as “the father of Yoga in the West” wrote in his book Autobiography of a Yogi his understanding of the meaning of the Biblical scripture Psalm (46:10) “Be still and know that I am God”. He wrote: “The goal of the science of yoga is to obtain that necessary inner stillness by which one may truly ‘know God'”.
The “perfect man” is in the “inner stillness” space within each and every one of us. Many Christians are now doing yoga meditation or a similar meditation technique. This is an indication that the true followers of Jesus Christ are beginning to move “unto the perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” What this means is that the old church order of the five-fold ministry is coming to a speedy end and the new church order is beginning to become manifest.
Robert Muller (1923 to 2010), who was most well known for his role as Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, was called the “Philosopher” and “Prophet of Hope” of the United Nations. He wrote: “Decide to open yourself to God, to the Universe, to all your brethren and sisters, to your inner self… to the potential of the human race, to the infinity of your inner self, and you will become the universe…you will become infinity, and you will be at long last your real, divine, stupendous self.”
This attaining Godhood religious belief of Muller’s and other United Nations leaders, is an essential belief of the developing and future New Universal Religion.
This New Age belief that human beings can reach and enter into Godhood at this time, is identical to what is being taught and propagated by the Latter Rain Movement, New Order of Latter Rain, Man-child Company, Apostolic and Prophetic Movement, Manifest Sons of God, New Breed, Joel’s Army, and an astounding host of churches and worldwide ministries.
A growing number of followers of Jesus Christ are NOW moving “unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. Or, in other words, they’re moving unto Godhood. This means the old order church of the five-fold ministry is at its end; and the New Order Church will soon be fully established.
[note: The authentic New Order Church or New Universal Religion has not yet been fully established, but it will be in the near future. These mentioned above groups are a prelude sign of the coming authentic New Order Church.]
In this generation people will possess the Spirit without measure…They will move into things of the supernatural that no one has ever moved in before…coming into the DIVINE NATURE of Jesus Christ…a new church is being established. It will reach the full maturity of the “perfect man”. (Ephesians 4:13)
Around 25 years ago, I prophesied that the Christian Church that Jesus Christ established, the Roman Catholic Church, a church that was manifesting the five-fold ministries, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, would remain the authentic church of Jesus Christ, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. (Ephesians 4:13)
I also prophesied that when the revelation would come to great masses of Christians that it was NOW time to become the corporate “perfect man”, a New Order Church would be established. In addition, I prophesied that when the revelation that Godhood could be attained was received by great masses of Christians, some Roman Catholics would transcend and go beyond the Roman Catholic Church and establish a “new faith” – the New Universal Religion.
The goal of the New Age Movement has consistently been to bring in the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize ‘the God within themselves.’ A major step towards this is, in the words of the New Age prophetess Alice Bailey, ‘the regeneration of the churches.’ Her vision was that… ‘The Christian church in its many branches can serve as a St. John the Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished.’ In a word, she desired the time when the ‘Christian churches’ would embrace the New Age concepts of illumination and self-realization.
From the beginning of my participation in the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God Movement and even after converting to the New Age Movement, I have been consistently working to destabilize and redefine the true (though fundamentally deceptive) church of Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church.
I believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the intermediary church and that some of its members have a mission to transcend and go beyond their church and then establishment the new true church of Jesus Christ. A future church that will be named the Wahkon Catholic Church. This church will house the New Universal Religion and its leaders (who will know Jesus as their guru) will usher in the fullness of the Kingdom of God on earth. It will soon be established in Wahkon, Minnesota and throughout the entire world.
Recently, there has been three world renowned Roman Catholic theologians who transcended and went beyond their church. They have been in the forefront of the movement to establish a New Universal Religion – a religion that the United Nations seems to be helping to establish. Two of them (the two who have died) continued to call themselves Rome Catholics until the end of their lives. However, they were New Agers or at least somewhat New Agers. The other one still continues to call himself a Roman Catholic, when in actuality he (in my opinion) is a New Ager.
The names of these three world renowned “Roman Catholic theologians” are Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 to 1955), Robert Muller (1923 to 2010) and Matthew Fox. (note: Fox is now an Anglican Priest, but he still declares he is an ordained Roman Catholic Priest.)
In respect to the, mentioned above, three world renowned “Roman Catholic theologians”, the one who is still living (Matthew Fox) is promoting (as did the two who died) the establishment of a “new faith” – the New Universal Religion.
In this way, the Roman Catholic Church is leading the way to the establishment of the new true church of Jesus Christ. In a way the Jesus Christ of the (future) Wahkon Catholic Church is the Christ of the traditional Christian religion, and in a way He is not the Christ of the traditional Christian religion. He is the “Cosmic Christ” of the New Age Religion.
World renowned Roman Catholics who move into the forefront of the movement to bring into the Roman Catholic Church as much syncretistic spirituality/theology as their church’s hierarchy and dogmas allow, tend to go beyond the boundaries set by the Roman hierarchy and church dogmas. By doing so, they become the leaders of the movement to usher in the New World Religion. When it is established, the earth will be saved from its current ecological crisis and all of humanity will be united and liberated.
The reason why these “Roman Catholic theologians” have come into the forefront of ushering in the completion of the New Universal Religion is because in order to complete the New Universal Religion, aspects of the Christian and Roman Catholic religion need to be incorporated into it. They are believers in those essential truths.
Christianity was established on a creation myth, as if it were literally true. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the mission of Jesus Christ is to “restore creation to the purity of its origins”. This declared mission of Jesus Christ (an unchangeable doctrine) cannot be accomplished because the creation was never pure. It’s a false doctrine/dogma.
According to the Roman Catholic Church and Biblical scripture, “Adam and Eve” (the first human beings) sinned and the creation consequently “fell into a state of corruption”, causing many animals to become carnivorous. However, the truth is, the first modern-day human beings from which we are all descendents came into existence around 200,000 years ago and violent complex carnivorous animals came into existence and roamed the earth for 550 million years before “Adam and Eve”.
Also, before “Adam and Eve” were on this earth, six near total mass extinctions of all animals had occurred. These mass extinctions caused a lot of suffering. Hence, at that time (a time span before “Adam and Eve”) the creation was in a state of corruption. In addition, there were humans living on earth for around 3.2 million years before modern-day humans (or “Adam and Eve”) came into existence on the earth. They experienced natural catastrophes, diseases, injuries, debilitating effects of aging and death. This proves that, at that time (a time span before “Adam and Eve) the creation was in a state of corruption. The creation was not pure and then fell into a state of corruption after “Adam and Eve” sinned.
These mentioned above scientific facts contradict Biblical scripture and the most important foundational dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, the dogma that describes the mission of Jesus Christ. It’s a dogma that is based on the very thesis of the Bible, a deceptive thesis. Therefore, this church needs to be disestablished. Modern-day science has proven that Christianity is a fundamentally deceptive religion. Or, in other words, and newly discovered scientific truth has made the Christian religion an out-dated religion.
The following quotes are from Barbara Aho’s article The Latter Rain Revival. I believe that the information in these quotes reveal how New Age teachings and the Christian religion are beginning to merge in a way that shows that they will ultimately become ONE and then present a single religious outlook.
“…Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God eschatology agrees on every point with the New Age Movement’s anticipation of the exaltation of mankind to godhood and the establishment of a New World Order… the Manifest Sons have a teaching which parallels the Aquarian teaching of the Age of Aquarius — The Year of Jubilee parallels the redistribution of the world’s wealth. The Feast of Tabernacles is the equivalent of the coming together of the World’s peoples and varied religions under one tent or tabernacle — the equivalent of the New Agers’ long-awaited ‘New World Religion.'”
“The Latter Rain (predicted to come) ‘Second Pentecost’ during Tabernacles is suggestive of the ‘Planetary Pentecost’ preached by Barbara Marx Hubbard as the peaceful ‘alternative to Armageddon.’ At this time, a ‘quantum leap’ in the evolution of mankind will occur as revealed to her by ‘the Christ’…it will be a time when ‘the divisions of the religions would be over…We would each know that God is within us…If all who feel we are connected to each other, to nature and to God join in a planetary Pentecost, we shall be transformed in this lifetime… I believe in the peaceful second Coming… there is virtually no difference at all between the New Age Tabernacles/Year of Jubilee and the Latter Rain interpretation of these celebrations.”
Another quote from Barbara Aho’s article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “According to the Manifest Sons, the end-time Church is God’s army in Joel 2, which will judge the Old Order and bring in the Kingdom….’This teaching is part of what is known as ‘dominion theology’ which teaches that an elite army of ‘overcomers’ will either destroy or subdue all the enemies of Christ until they eventually gain power and authority throughout the world. The government of the nations will be upon their shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to them, Christ will return and they will present the kingdom to him….”What is about to come upon the earth is not just a revival, or another awakening; it is a veritable revolution. The vision was given in order to begin to awaken those who are destined to radically change the course,…”
I believe in some of the teachings of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement, including all of the movement’s teachings that are compatible with the teachings of the evolving New Age Movement.
I and other New Agers believe that human beings can attain Godhood and that some people have already attained Godhood. The Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God people, likewise teach that if one accepts the “new revelation” that they could, depending also on other factors, themselves actually become Christ, as some will, according their belief, at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”. I believe that some (a new term) Latter Rain/New Age Movement people (like myself), who except some of the teachings of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God people will actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”.
Unlike Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God people, I do not believe that “we live once” and then after death receive “eternal life” or “eternal judgment”, meaning we go to either “Heaven” or “Hell”. Nor do I believe in the “resurrection of the dead”, “bodily immortality”, “the last judgment”, or a “restored to the purity of its origins” creation. Nor do I believe that there is a “Heaven” and “Hell” where people supposedly go to after they die and where their bodies will supposedly go to after the “resurrection of the dead” and the “last judgment”.
I believe what the Hindu scriptures teach about life after death. They teach that our spirit’s have three encasements/entrapments, the physical body, the astral spiritual body and casual spiritual body and that we should ultimately be seeking to be liberated from all three of these encasements, so that our spirits can merger and become completely one with God’s Spirit. I also believe in reincarnation, which occurs over and over again until we advance spiritually and qualify to move on to an astral world or a casual world and ultimately into eternal bliss beyond the three encasements.
I believe that some Latter Rain/New Age Movement people will actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”. I also believe that the government of the nations will be upon their/our shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to our divine right to rule the world, Jesus Christ, the supreme New Age yogi guru, will return and we will then present the kingdom to him.
[note: When referring to Christ’s return, I mean He will temporarily manifest Himself in an exact duplication of his former earthly body.
[note: The earth will eventually become invisible and its spiritual energy will then return back into God’s Spirit, from where it originally came from.]

New Age Globalization And The Coming New World Order
New Age Globalization Mission Vs. America’s Christian Globalization Mission
By Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer
–
New Age globalization is ushering in a New World Order. The rising importance of indigenous peoples’ religious beliefs within the New Age globalization mission has helped United Nations leaders into the forefront of this mission. This globalization mission is anti-Christian and it’s a countering voice to the corrupt American capitalist-imperialist system. This system is propagated by the American Christian political ethic, as it seeks to accomplish America’s Christian globalization mission.
“… America has a God-given mission to establish God’s kingdom ~ made in the U.S.A ~ all over the world. That’s one meaning of Globalization.” (quote by Gaston Roberge)
The American system is a greedy, earth-destroying and people-oppressing imperialist system that needs to come to a speedy end. It needs to, as New Age globalization moves forward to fulfill its destiny of saving the earth and establishing a New World Order. Then the earth will be saved and humanity will be united and liberated.
In 1900, the U.S. Supreme Court said with regard to U.S. global expansionism, “a false step at this time might prove fatal to what Chief Justice Marshall called the American Empire.” George Washington once remarked that the thirteen states had “laid the foundation of a great empire.” Currently, to maintain and expand their global empire, the U.S. rulers keep over 700 military bases in 130 countries. The U.S. has invaded, backed brutal regimes, and fomented coups against governments that stood in the way of its empire-building, globalization mission.
The American Empire is a term used to describe the historical expansionism and current political, military, economic, religious and cultural influence of the United States on a global scale. U.S. historical empire-expansionism traces its beginning not to the Spanish-American War, but to the invasion and occupation of Native American Indian land, from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean.
Steven T. Newcomb, an internationally renowned Native American activist, wrote in his article Healing, Restoration, and Rematriation, “… the United States has a political economy based on the concept of Christian imperium, which is ‘a dominion, state or sovereignty’ that insists on expanding in population and territory, and constantly increasing in strength and power…Thomas Jefferson declared, ‘I am persuaded no constitution was ever before as well calculated as ours for extensive empire.’ The toll that U.S. empire-building has taken on Native peoples in loss of lives and lands is truly staggering…”
America’s warmongering history is one of conquest and dominion, of brutal empire expansionism and imposition of social order through outright genocidal warfare against Native tribes, theft of land from Mexico and Spain, invasion of Russia after World War I, followed by a succession of military interventions in Korea, Indochina, Central America, the Balkans, and more recently in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Today the ethos of militarism-of conquest, domination, violence, and Empire, which is responsible for a legacy of U.S. War Crimes, permeates the American economy, political institutions and culture.
The United States has become an outlaw nation, by violating international treaties and obligations. The U.S. Patriot Act, violates the Biological Weapons Convention, an international treaty. The Military Commissions Act contains a number of provisions that are incompatible with the international obligations of the United States under human rights law and humanitarian law. The U.S. is intent on transforming the process of globalization into the building blocks of Empire and military domination.
The U.S. presides over an Empire, made possible by its controlling presence in world production and finance, its vast military power, its leading role in the spread of information technology, and its capacity to transform the world with its influencing emphasis on privatization, deregulation, technology, and consumerism. Using that awesome leverage, the U.S. reasserts its dominion over the world’s weaker nations, over international structures, and of course over nature-as it pursues its quest for growth and profits.
The popular American view is that this nation has a unique “global Christian mission” as a “Great Nation” to extend the frontiers of “democracy, freedom, peace, justice, prosperity”. This view is a grandiose, U.S. Christian delusional world view.
In respect to other nations, the type of democracy that America is promoting is not the type of democracy associated with freedom. It’s a self-serving type of U.S. controlled subservient-democracy that America is promoting across the world. By doing so, America is seeking to accomplish its globalization mission. It’s globalization mission is to create a world wherein all nations have a subservience [to the U.S] type of government. Thereby, America gains total world dominance and ruler ship over all nations and peoples.
Since 9/11, the United States has intensified its mission to do everything in its power to maintain its military supremacy, and it now arrogates the right to preemptive war. In respect to these “two pillars”, the Washington Post published the following statements by the world renowned political activist George Soros. (1.) “Taken together, these two pillars support two classes of sovereignty: the sovereignty of the United States, which takes precedence over international treaties and obligations, and the sovereignty of all other states.” (2.) “There has been an unprecedented rift between the United States and what Donald Rumsfeld calls ‘old Europe,’ because the United States now demands unquestioning subservience from its allies.”
Native American Indian governments are subservient [to the U.S.] Democratic Republics, and America is doing nothing to rectify this injustice. Even within its “own” homeland, America still promotes this type of subservient “democracy”.
For anyone committed to equal human dignity, democratic government means collective self government, not laws and regulations imposed by foreigners. Foreign “democratic” governments that America has helped establish find that they can stay in power only with ongoing American support and dehumanizing control. So, rather than having become free nations, they have become cogs in the American empire-building, imperial machine. After gaining control of smaller nations, the U.S. then takes advantage of them by ripping off their natural resources. The America Empire is obsessed with its pursuit of more power and more material gain to satisfy its ever-increasing consumerist addictions.
Setting up democracies in other countries is a way to take strong leaders out of power, and replace them with a system of government that can never emerge to challenge the U.S. without American knowledge and approval. Also, a country that has become democratized by the U.S. will often split up along ethnic/religious lines, and the people who inhabit these areas will be absolutely powerless to stop America, the world’s strongest nation, from subjugating and controlling them. America’s imposing-democracy mission of world conquest is truly the modern version of Caesar’s divide and conquer, empire-building campaign.
America’s system of creating subservient democracies the world over is a way to reinforce United States status as the world’s sole super-power and dominant world leader, as well as create a global system of government that U.S. officials can fully control. The United States Empire uses imposing “democracy” to rule the world.
America is alone in believing that it is the epitome of freedom. The rest of the world does not share this myth about America. Even fascist regimes, dictators and terrorists do not see America as a “free country” (contrary to what Hollywood and the U.S. media portray). Rather, they see America as an Imperial Empire trying to take away the freedoms of all nations and peoples, and attempting to dominate and control everyone to exploit their natural resources.
Latin America: Former President Juan Bosch of the Dominican Republic said, “Even if the American people elected Saint Francis of Assisi as their president, the US system would proceed unchanged, always exploiting the countries of the south.” Ecuador’s president Rafael Correa said, “US foreign policy has historically been antagonistic to progressive change in Latin America, and has been marked by attitudes of domination and arrogance. The United States must learn to respect the autonomy and sovereignty of Latin American countries, even small ones,…”
Asia: In 1998, Admiral Joseph W. Prueher, then the Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Command, said, in respect to official U.S. policy: “The United States has regarded its dominance over Asia as permanent and would not let it be challenged by anyone.” US imperialism regards its domination over Asia as its right and it allows no other nation to challenge it. In the name of freedom and democracy, the US protects its corrupt, world-domination, economic interests by its military might.
A statement on the International Forum On Globalization website reads: “U.S.-China struggles for global economic and political leadership have begun, and are largely playing out in the Asia-Pacific regions in terms of enormous trade and resource battles, intimidating militarism and forward base construction, continued colonialism and suppression of Pacific sovereignty movements, all of it with vast negative environmental and social consequences. A number of nations in Asia want to break-away from U.S. military presences, which are hugely oppressive—including Guam, Tinian, the Mariannas, Okinawa, Jedju, and also the U.S. controlled Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean,…”
During the Cold War era the United States maintained its domination over Asia through wars of aggression, first in Korea and then in Vietnam. Beginning with invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, the US has been able to use the September 11th attacks and its war on terror to justify (1.) its imposition of subservient-democracy on two more Asia countries, and (2.) its expansion of military control over Asia, and (3.) its increasing economic-domination of Asia.
Africa: Sekou Nkrumah, activist, writer and son of the late President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, said: “Domination of Africa’s resources would give America, so the capitalists think, the competitive edge over the rest of the world in the area of trade and the extraction of Africa’s resources.”
Nkrumah also said that American neo-colonialism in Africa is equivalent to “international state terrorism,” strangling African economies. America helped enslave African nations to debt from IMF and World Bank loans to enable the “extracting and exploiting of resources, thereby creating starvation, wars, division, disease, poverty, and under development,” all acts of terrorism.
In addition, Nkrumah said that the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), launched in 2007, is America’s latest strategy to establish U.S. military bases on Africa’s soil, and do so, to remain an economic competitor against the European Union and China, under the guise of fostering peace and security.
The United States became a world power over a century ago with rapid expansion to other parts of the world, including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, parts of the Samoan Islands and other Pacific islands. Although the rapid expansion ceased, the U.S. continued to maintain its status as a world power through military might and its involvement with many foreign countries. In modern times, the U.S. approach to (1.) continuing as a world power, and (2.) increasing its controlling-domination of the world, involves maintaining and eventually increasing its economic and military supremacy status. And doing so, by keeping its Native/aboriginal peoples subjugated and controlled, supporting its many puppet dictators, dominating and controlling international structures (such as NATO, IMF and the UN, etc.), imposing subservient-democracies on more foreign countries and coercing subservience from its allies around the world.
The American Empire was founded on a 15th Century European, Christian empire-building paradigm. It is the root cause of the United States’ exploitive and often violent actions toward many smaller foreign nations around the world. The U.S. continues these exploitive actions to gain control of other nations. By doing so, it expands its empire and gains ground toward accomplishing its globalization mission. This adopted U.S. paradigm is also the root cause of the dehumanizing subjugation of indigenous nations here in the United States.
The old European, Christian empire-building, paradigm that America adopted became manifest when the Vatican put forth a series of 15th century papal bulls (collectively known as the Doctrine of Discovery) and European Christian monarchs subsequently created colonial charters based on them. This Christian doctrine sanctioned and promoted ruthless imperialism and White Christian supremacy over indigenous pagan peoples.
In April, 2010, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues presented a preliminary study on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. The expert members of this United Nations forum have declared that the doctrine is “the historical root of ongoing violations of indigenous peoples, which for centuries served as ‘legal’ rationale for stealing land and dehumanizing indigenous peoples, as well as justification for the establishment of boarding schools throughout North America to ‘civilize’ Indian children.”
In one of the doctrine’s papal bulls, Inter Cetera, Pope Alexander VI stated his desire that the “discovered” people be “subjugated and brought to the faith itself.” By this means, said the pope, the “Christian Empire” would be propagated. Romanus Pontifex was another one of the doctrine’s papal bulls. According to a United Nations World Conference Against Racism document: “Romanus Pontifex, issued by Pope Nicholas V to King Alfonso of Portugal in 1452, declared war against all non-Christians throughout the world.”
This White racist and religious bigoted, warmongering Christian empire-building doctrine, the Doctrine of Discovery, was adopted into U.S. federal Indian law, by way of the 1823 Johnson v. M’Intosh ruling. To this present-day it remains the cornerstone of federal Indian Law. It also serves as the guiding principle of U.S. foreign policies and actions associated with this nation’s Christian, empire-building, globalization mission.
According to Steven T. Newcomb, a world renowned expert on this topic, the Doctrine of Discovery instructed colonizing European Christian nations …”to assume ‘ultimate dominion’ over the lands of America during the Age of Discovery, and that upon ‘discovery’, the Indians had lost ‘their rights to complete sovereignty, as independent nations,’ and only retained a right of ‘occupancy’ in their lands. According to Chief Justice Marshall, the United States, upon winning its independence in 1776, became a successor nation to the right of ‘discovery’ and acquired the power of ‘dominion’ from Great Britain. Today, five centuries later, the United States government still uses this archaic Judeo-Christian doctrine to deny the rights of Native American Indians.”
After the first hundred years of U.S. Christian empire-building, genocidal warfare the vast majority of the indigenous population was eliminated and the remainder were placed on reservations that were often far from their original sacred homelands.
According to Steven T. Newcomb, “U.S. Indian policies have been based on the underlying, hidden rationale of ‘Christian discovery’ – a rationale which holds that the ‘heathen’ indigenous peoples of the Americas are ‘subordinate to the first Christian discoverer,’ or its successor. As Thomas Jefferson once observed, when the state uses church doctrine as a coercive tool, the result is ‘hypocrisy and meanness.’ Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court’s use of the ancient Christian Doctrine of Discovery – to circumvent the Constitution as a means of taking Indian lands and placing Indian nations under U.S. control – has proven Madison and Jefferson right.”
If Native America Indian tribes were to declare their independence as fully sovereign nation states and reclaim complete ownership of their sacred traditional homelands, and then start producing “illegal” weapons to defend themselves against the United States, a nation that has subjugated them because of its belief in, and policies based on, a 15th century Christian supremacist doctrine, the U.S. military would violently put an end to their insurrections. By doing so, the U.S. military would be circumventing the Constitution by defending an American Christian supremacist law and policy. The U.S. continues to use its Christian supremacist, Doctrine of Discovery ideology and policies to deny this land’s Native peoples their fundamental human right to own land and be fully independent sovereign nations.
When the thirteen British colonies were established on what is now known as the East Coast of America, this development was an expansion of the European based Christian Empire. This European colonizing, Christian empire expanding, development was based on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery paradigm.
Then, when the thirteen colonies became an independent nation, the Christian Doctrine of Discovery was modified and adopted by the newly founded American Empire. At the time, America abandoned the European based Christian Empire expanding mission, and established the American based Christian Empire expanding mission.
There is a ultra-nationalistic, Christian supremacist principle guiding America’s globalization mission. It is based on America’s Christian Doctrine of Discovery paradigm, Biblical scriptures and U.S. “civil religion” public discourse.
It has been commonplace for American presidents, beginning with George Washington, to claim in public addresses that the United States is “a divinely chosen nation”. “In God we trust” and “one nation under God” are also commonplace American identity-establishing slogans. Scholars have labeled such discourse “civil religion,” in which national leaders emphasize religious symbols and principles to engender a sense of unity and shared national identity.
The mentioned above “civil religion” discourse, along with additional commonplace discourse, such as political leaders, including many Founding Fathers, referring to the U.S. as “God’s new Israel” or “Zion”, and its citizens “God’s new chosen people” …has engrained in the national psychic an ultra-nationalist, Christian-religious-delusional, superiority mentality that causes many Americans to participate in the U.S. effort to gain total world dominance through its globalization mission.
Many of the Founding Fathers believed that America was “God’s new Israel”. For them it was a newly founded nation inhabited by God’s “new chosen people”. Benjamin Franklin described the independent colony on the East Coast as “God’s new Israel”. Thomas Jefferson argued that the Great Seal of the United States should depict the Israelites, “led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night”. President George W. Bush told an audience of his: “When William Bradford stepped off the Mayflower in 1620, he quoted the words of [the Hebrew prophet] Jeremiah 51:10: ‘Come let us declare in Zion the word of God.'” To this present-day, America, for many Christians, has the adopted names — “Zion” and “Israel”.
Therefore, the following biblical scriptures fuel the delusional, total global dominance, U.S. Christian supremacist agenda. “Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many nations (Micah 4:13) …For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste (Isa 60:12) …Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel (Psalm 2:8-9) …And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom [of Israel which] shall crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever.(Dan 2:44)”
When Lieutenant-Colonel Hensley was the top military chaplain in Afghanistan, he said, while speaking of the (mentioned above) apocalyptic times he believes we are in: “You know, the US soldiers there have a mission basically to, you know, carry out the work of God.” He then declared that “We are the new Israel”.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hensley believes that the mentioned above “Israel”, the “new Israel” (America and its military) “shall crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever.(Dan 2:44)” He believes that the kingdoms/nations that America and its military (“Israel”) “shall crush” are Islamic kingdoms and all other kingdoms/nations that are opposed to America’s, total global domination, Christian mission. This American mission can also be called the U.S. Christian empire-building, globalization mission.
A growing number of people in the U.S. armed forces believe that the U.S. military has a Christian mission to conquer the world for Jesus Christ and establish the Biblical prophesied “millennium age”.
After researching what past and present-day protestant religious leaders and national political leaders (including some of the Founding Fathers) have said about America, historians have stated that American’s mission is to expand the “American Empire” (Kingdom) to the “ends of the earth”, and that national religious and political leaders believe that when this is accomplished, this “Kingdom”/Empire of God, the completed American Empire, “will stand forever”. In addition, they believe that when this “Kingdom” is established, Jesus Christ will return to rule and reign throughout the Biblical-prophesied millennium age.
In the next several paragraphs, I explain how two White American Christian supremacists ideologies and principles, called Manifest Destiny and Planetary Manifest Destiny, are based on the [modified for the U.S.], Doctrine of Discovery, Christian empire-expanding, paradigm.
Manifest Destiny was used to subjugate American’s indigenous peoples/nations and Planetary Manifest Destiny is still being used, successfully, by the U.S. to subjugate other nations across the world. By doing so, the U.S. expands its empire and also moves forward in its efforts to accomplish its globalization mission.
Since 1823, the White American Christian political ethic has supported the Doctrine of Discovery as the cornerstone of U.S. federal Indian law. It has also supported a similar early American, Christian supremacy principle called “Manifest Destiny”. Like the Christian Doctrine of Discovery, Manifest Destiny also contributed to the legitimization of the dehumanizing subjugation and control of this land’s indigenous tribal peoples. Manifest Destiny was the American Christian-religious justification for the oppressive westward expansion of America’s land base (expanding the American Christian Empire) from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean.
While viewing America as “God’s new Israel”, Theodore Roosevelt used a biblical story to justify a great American injustice, he wrote: “What were the abominations because of which the Canaanites were destroyed before Joshua, when compared with the abominations of the red savages whose lands they, another chosen people, should in their turn inherit? America justifies the thief of its aboriginal native people’s homelands from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean …because Israel of old, “as directed by God”, took [all] of the Canaanites’ land.
Manifest Destiny, a term coined by John O’Sullivan in 1845, when he wrote an editorial supportive of westward expansionism, was explicitly an American religious justification for oppressive westward expansionism in the name of its supposed “divinely assigned Christian destiny”. By extension, “Planetary Manifest Destiny” is an explicit American religious justification for oppressive global expansionism in the name of it’s supposed “divinely assigned Christian destiny”.
Mikey Weinstein, the founder of Military Religious Freedom Foundation and author of the book “With God On Our Side: One Man’s War Against an Evangelical Coup in America’s Military”, has been for years on the national forefront in the fight against the efforts of Evangelical Christian supremacists in the armed forces to fully convert the U.S. military (“the new Israel”) to the Planetary Manifest Destiny ideology and mission.
Weinstein says 84% of U.S. Military Chaplains are Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christians and the U.S. Military is a Christian proselytizing institution. He often warns people of the very real threat of a Christian military coup of the U.S.. Weinstein told a four-star general, “We’re about two inches away, you know, from a fundamentalist Christian America through our US military.”
Weinstein’s organization has received two nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The fight has changed Weinstein. He has a darker view of American history now, acknowledging, (in the words of the author of a Weinstein-interview article)“the genocidal underbelly of the American Christian conception of ‘Manifest Destiny’.” Inside the Military Police building at Fort Riley, a printout on an office door displayed columnist Ann Coulter’s, Planetary Manifest Destiny, statement: “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
Manifest Destiny sanctioned the expansion of the American land base and American Christian Empire westward from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Pacific Ocean. Planetary Manifest Destiny sanctions the expansion of American military bases across the world, American control over other nations and the expansion of the American based Christian Empire across the world.
How-days, American global expansionism is not so much about expanding the land base of America, but about gaining control of other nations and making them into Americanized subservient satellite nations of the United States.
Every generation of American foreign-policy architects have promoted the Christian supremacy propaganda of the U.S. Planetary Manifest Destiny belief. This is summarized as, the U.S. has the Christian, God-given divine right and mission to eventually dominate and rule the world; and it will fulfill its glorious destiny.
Currently, the White American Christian political ethic supports (1.) the Doctrine of Discovery as the cornerstone of U.S. federal Indian law (which sanctions the continuation of the dehumanizing subjugation of this land’s indigenous peoples) …and (2.) the accomplishment of “Manifest Destiny” (which justifies the theft of indigenous peoples’ land’s and resources during oppressive westward expansionism) …and (3.) “Planetary Manifest Destiny” (which sanctions world-wide American oppressive-expansionism, and also America’s supposed infallible Christian destiny to establish a New World Order; and then dominate and rule over all nations and peoples).
The White American Christian political ethic systematizes its logic to hide the real face, the hateful face, of its White racism, Christian-religious-bigotry, warmongering-militarism, people-oppressing and earth-destroying capitalist-imperialism.
Christianity’s colonial-imperialistic mission did not bring justice or equality but aggression and dehumanizing subjugation to indigenous peoples around the world. Its racial and religious bigoted beliefs led to the world’s worst genocide, and the wanton destruction of tens of thousands of earth-focused, ecologically-conscious, indigenous cultures and religions. Most Christian leaders have not yet repented. The Pope and many other Christian leaders have not yet apologized for Christian colonialism and the consequential unrepentant, current dehumanizing subjugation of indigenous peoples.

Internationally renowned human rights advocates contend: (1.) past human rights violations faced by indigenous peoples, such as religious persecution, forced conversion to Christianity, genocide, ethnocide, ethnic cleansing, wars of conquest, the spreading of deadly diseases, slavery, grand theft of lands and resources, denial of their full sovereignty rights, desecration of many of their sacred sites, destruction of their eco-spirituality, pagan religions, etc. – and (2.) present-day human rights violations being faced by indigenous peoples, including the continuing dehumanizing subjugation of these peoples, mainly inflicted by denying them ownership of their sacred traditional homelands and full sovereignty rights on those lands, can all be traced to the 15th century Christian/Vatican Doctrine of Discovery, which was an international legal construct. They’re also saying that the doctrine comes very close to a religious root cause of the world’s major problems.
Indian Country Today (ICT), the world’s largest Indian news source, recently published a letter of mine about my work to expose and rectify the injustices caused by the Christian Doctrine of Discovery. The letter includes my correspondence with and support from a world renowned leader of the movement to expose and rectify the doctrine’s injustices, Steven T. Newcomb.
In an ICT letter, titled A New Paradigm, I presented my perspective on how a new paradigm is being established, a new paradigm that will help unite the world’s religions into a single religion, the syncretistic New Age religion. When fully mature, this religion will serve as the basis and principle of unity for a New World Order. Through this New World Order humanity will be united, liberated and experiencing world peace; and the earth will be saved from its current ecological crisis.
Al Gore wrote in his book Earth in the Balance: “The richness and diversity of our religious tradition throughout history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. But the emergence of a civilization in which knowledge moves freely and almost instantaneously through the world has …spurred a renewed investigation of the wisdom distilled by all faiths. This panreligious perspective may prove especially important where our global civilization’s responsibility for the earth is concerned.”
In our day and age, a new paradigm is beginning to become manifest. A growing number of people of the traditional Christian faith for the first time in their lives are opening their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. Therefore, diverse spiritualities, such as Yoga and Transcendental Meditation (Hinduism), Zen (Buddhism), some aspects of an unorthodox expression of the Christian charismatic movement and many of the indigenous pagan, religious beliefs, especially including indigenous people’s earth saving, eco-spirituality beliefs …are converging to form a new religious outlook. This New Age religious outlook is replacing whatever remains of the traditional Christian world view within Western civilization.
These mentioned above converging currents of different types of paganism and some aspects of Christianity will ultimately comprise the religion of the future – a New Universal Religion. It will serve as the basis and principle of unity for a New World Order. Then humanity will be united and liberate.
In an article by Barbara Aho, The Latter Rain Revival, there are quotes from prominent New Age Movement leaders. They describe why they believe an unorthodox, charismatic Christian Movement, the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement, is “a part of the New Age Movement”.
I believe that the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement is NOT a part of the New Age Movement, but that some aspects of it can and should be incorporated into the New Age Movement. To help get this accomplished, I have taken the lead and incorporated some aspects of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement into my expression of the New Age Movement. Or, in other worlds, into my expression of the New Age globalization mission.
A quote from the article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “Alice Bailey, Theosophist and mother of the modern New Age Movement, revealed an ingenious plan in her 1957 volume, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy. Cabalist agents would infiltrate the Christian Church to modify its message, while adapting it as a vehicle for the Universal Religion of the 21st Century.”
New Age religious teachings and the Christian religion are merging and will soon become ONE. By way of this process, a New Order of the Church is being established. When it is fully established it will be a New Age (essentially Hindu) Church. Jesus Christ will be its guru and He and His (new-church-order) followers will usher in the fullness of the Kingdom of God on earth.
Astrology divides time into units called ages which correspond to the signs of the zodiac. Each age lasts from 2000 to 2400 years. This progression outlines the evolution of the universe and mankind. According to this tenant we are now moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The New Age teaches that as we pass from the old order church age (the Piscean Age) into the new order church age (the Age of Aquarius) we will evolve and become God.
Hindus and New Agers believe humanity is evolving to become God. They believe a small number of themselves are already experiencing Godhood and that the rest of them are still on their way to reaching Godhood. They also believe that every human being will eventually attain Godhood. In addition, they believe that before the “Big Bang” creation of the universe we were God. The Manifest Sons of God teach that if one accepted their “new revelation” that they themselves would actually become Christ (reach “Christ Consciousness” or Godhood) at the time of the unveiling or “manifestation of the Sons of God”. (Romans 8:19)
Another quote from the article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “According to Rick Joyner, a highly sought-after speaker at international conferences, Christianity must be destabilized and redefined by modern apostles, prophets, etc. to finalize Alice Bailey’s plan to “take the great basic doctrines and shatter the old forms in which they are expressed and held.”
A “great basic doctrine” of Christianity is found in Ephesians 4:11-13, “And He Himself gave some apostles, and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
This scripture teaches that the church order of the five-fold ministry will last up until the time when the true followers of Jesus Christ (those who follow Jesus where-ever he goes) start moving “unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. [note: The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are of the five-fold ministry church order; they are the apostolic succession churches.]
New Agers believe that Jesus was a “pattern son” who showed the way to the “Divine Christ Consciousness”, or the “perfect man” in every human being. A great awakening is now occurring in the evolution of human history. This awakening and evolution of humanity towards the “Christ Consciousness”, or the “perfect man” in all of us is called the coming of the Age of Aquarius. The goal of the New Age Movement has consistently been to usher in the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize the God within.
Paramahansa Yogananda, hailed as “the father of Yoga in the West” wrote in his book Autobiography of a Yogi his understanding of the meaning of the Biblical scripture Psalm (46:10) “Be still and know that I am God”. He wrote: “The goal of the science of yoga is to obtain that necessary inner stillness by which one may truly ‘know God'”.
The “perfect man” is in the “inner stillness” space within each and every one of us. Many Christians are now doing yoga meditation or a similar meditation technique. This is an indication that the true followers of Jesus Christ are beginning to move “unto the perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” What this means is that the old church order of the five-fold ministry is coming to a speedy end and the new church order is beginning to become manifest.
Robert Muller (1923 to 2010), who was most well known for his role as Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, was called the “Philosopher” and “Prophet of Hope” of the United Nations. He wrote: “Decide to open yourself to God, to the Universe, to all your brethren and sisters, to your inner self… to the potential of the human race, to the infinity of your inner self, and you will become the universe…you will become infinity, and you will be at long last your real, divine, stupendous self.”
This attaining Godhood religious belief of Muller’s and other United Nations leaders, is an essential belief of the developing and future New Universal Religion.
This New Age belief that human beings can reach and enter into Godhood at this time, is identical to what is being taught and propagated by the Latter Rain Movement, New Order of Latter Rain, Man-child Company, Apostolic and Prophetic Movement, Manifest Sons of God, New Breed, Joel’s Army, and an astounding host of churches and worldwide ministries.
A growing number of followers of Jesus Christ are NOW moving “unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. Or, in other words, they’re moving unto Godhood. This means the old order church of the five-fold ministry is at its end; and the New Order Church will soon be fully established.
[note: The authentic New Order Church or New Universal Religion has not yet been fully established, but it will be in the near future. These mentioned above groups are a prelude sign of the coming authentic New Order Church.]
In this generation people will possess the Spirit without measure…They will move into things of the supernatural that no one has ever moved in before…coming into the DIVINE NATURE of Jesus Christ…a new church is being established. It will reach the full maturity of the “perfect man”. (Ephesians 4:13)
Around 25 years ago, I prophesied that the Christian Church that Jesus Christ established, the Roman Catholic Church, a church that was manifesting the five-fold ministries, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, would remain the authentic church of Jesus Christ, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. (Ephesians 4:13)
I also prophesied that when the revelation would come to great masses of Christians that it was NOW time to become the corporate “perfect man”, a New Order Church would be established. In addition, I prophesied that when the revelation that Godhood could be attained was received by great masses of Christians, some Roman Catholics would transcend and go beyond the Roman Catholic Church and establish a “new faith” – the New Universal Religion.
The goal of the New Age Movement has consistently been to bring in the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize ‘the God within themselves.’ A major step towards this is, in the words of the New Age prophetess Alice Bailey, ‘the regeneration of the churches.’ Her vision was that… ‘The Christian church in its many branches can serve as a St. John the Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished.’ In a word, she desired the time when the ‘Christian churches’ would embrace the New Age concepts of illumination and self-realization.
From the beginning of my participation in the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God Movement and even after converting to the New Age Movement, I have been consistently working to destabilize and redefine the true (though fundamentally deceptive) church of Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church.
I believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the intermediary church and that some of its members have a mission to transcend and go beyond their church and then establishment the new true church of Jesus Christ. A future church that will be named the Wahkon Catholic Church. This church will house the New Universal Religion and its leaders (who will know Jesus as their guru) will usher in the fullness of the Kingdom of God on earth. It will soon be established in Wahkon, Minnesota and throughout the entire world.
Recently, there has been three world renowned Roman Catholic theologians who transcended and went beyond their church. They have been in the forefront of the movement to establish a New Universal Religion – a religion that the United Nations seems to be helping to establish. Two of them (the two who have died) continued to call themselves Rome Catholics until the end of their lives. However, they were New Agers or at least somewhat New Agers. The other one still continues to call himself a Roman Catholic, when in actuality he (in my opinion) is a New Ager.
The names of these three world renowned “Roman Catholic theologians” are Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 to 1955), Robert Muller (1923 to 2010) and Matthew Fox. (note: Fox is now an Anglican Priest, but he still declares he is an ordained Roman Catholic Priest.)
In respect to the, mentioned above, three world renowned “Roman Catholic theologians”, the one who is still living (Matthew Fox) is promoting (as did the two who died) the establishment of a “new faith” – the New Universal Religion.
In this way, the Roman Catholic Church is leading the way to the establishment of the new true church of Jesus Christ. In a way the Jesus Christ of the (future) Wahkon Catholic Church is the Christ of the traditional Christian religion, and in a way He is not the Christ of the traditional Christian religion. He is the “Cosmic Christ” of the New Age Religion.
World renowned Roman Catholics who move into the forefront of the movement to bring into the Roman Catholic Church as much syncretistic spirituality/theology as their church’s hierarchy and dogmas allow, tend to go beyond the boundaries set by the Roman hierarchy and church dogmas. By doing so, they become the leaders of the movement to usher in the New World Religion. When it is established, the earth will be saved from its current ecological crisis and all of humanity will be united and liberated.
The reason why these “Roman Catholic theologians” have come into the forefront of ushering in the completion of the New Universal Religion is because in order to complete the New Universal Religion, aspects of the Christian and Roman Catholic religion need to be incorporated into it. They are believers in those essential truths.
Christianity was established on a creation myth, as if it were literally true. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the mission of Jesus Christ is to “restore creation to the purity of its origins”. This declared mission of Jesus Christ (an unchangeable doctrine) cannot be accomplished because the creation was never pure. It’s a false doctrine/dogma.
According to the Roman Catholic Church and Biblical scripture, “Adam and Eve” (the first human beings) sinned and the creation consequently “fell into a state of corruption”, causing many animals to become carnivorous. However, the truth is, the first modern-day human beings from which we are all descendents came into existence around 200,000 years ago and violent complex carnivorous animals came into existence and roamed the earth for 550 million years before “Adam and Eve”.
Also, before “Adam and Eve” were on this earth, six near total mass extinctions of all animals had occurred. These mass extinctions caused a lot of suffering. Hence, at that time (a time span before “Adam and Eve”) the creation was in a state of corruption. In addition, there were humans living on earth for around 3.2 million years before modern-day humans (or “Adam and Eve”) came into existence on the earth. They experienced natural catastrophes, diseases, injuries, debilitating effects of aging and death. This proves that, at that time (a time span before “Adam and Eve) the creation was in a state of corruption. The creation was not pure and then fell into a state of corruption after “Adam and Eve” sinned.
These mentioned above scientific facts contradict Biblical scripture and the most important foundational dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, the dogma that describes the mission of Jesus Christ. It’s a dogma that is based on the very thesis of the Bible, a deceptive thesis. Therefore, this church needs to be disestablished. Modern-day science has proven that Christianity is a fundamentally deceptive religion. Or, in other words, and newly discovered scientific truth has made the Christian religion an out-dated religion.
The following quotes are from Barbara Aho’s article The Latter Rain Revival. I believe that the information in these quotes reveal how New Age teachings and the Christian religion are beginning to merge in a way that shows that they will ultimately become ONE and then present a single religious outlook.
“…Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God eschatology agrees on every point with the New Age Movement’s anticipation of the exaltation of mankind to godhood and the establishment of a New World Order… the Manifest Sons have a teaching which parallels the Aquarian teaching of the Age of Aquarius — The Year of Jubilee parallels the redistribution of the world’s wealth. The Feast of Tabernacles is the equivalent of the coming together of the World’s peoples and varied religions under one tent or tabernacle — the equivalent of the New Agers’ long-awaited ‘New World Religion.'”
“The Latter Rain (predicted to come) ‘Second Pentecost’ during Tabernacles is suggestive of the ‘Planetary Pentecost’ preached by Barbara Marx Hubbard as the peaceful ‘alternative to Armageddon.’ At this time, a ‘quantum leap’ in the evolution of mankind will occur as revealed to her by ‘the Christ’…it will be a time when ‘the divisions of the religions would be over…We would each know that God is within us…If all who feel we are connected to each other, to nature and to God join in a planetary Pentecost, we shall be transformed in this lifetime… I believe in the peaceful second Coming… there is virtually no difference at all between the New Age Tabernacles/Year of Jubilee and the Latter Rain interpretation of these celebrations.”
Another quote from Barbara Aho’s article The Latter Rain Revival reads: “According to the Manifest Sons, the end-time Church is God’s army in Joel 2, which will judge the Old Order and bring in the Kingdom….’This teaching is part of what is known as ‘dominion theology’ which teaches that an elite army of ‘overcomers’ will either destroy or subdue all the enemies of Christ until they eventually gain power and authority throughout the world. The government of the nations will be upon their shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to them, Christ will return and they will present the kingdom to him….”What is about to come upon the earth is not just a revival, or another awakening; it is a veritable revolution. The vision was given in order to begin to awaken those who are destined to radically change the course,…”
I believe in some of the teachings of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God Movement, including all of the movement’s teachings that are compatible with the teachings of the evolving New Age Movement.
I and other New Agers believe that human beings can attain Godhood and that some people have already attained Godhood. The Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God people, likewise teach that if one accepts the “new revelation” that they could, depending also on other factors, themselves actually become Christ, as some will, according their belief, at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”. I believe that some (a new term) Latter Rain/New Age Movement people (like myself), who except some of the teachings of the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons Of God people will actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”.
Unlike Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God people, I do not believe that “we live once” and then after death receive “eternal life” or “eternal judgment”, meaning we go to either “Heaven” or “Hell”. Nor do I believe in the “resurrection of the dead”, “bodily immortality”, “the last judgment”, or a “restored to the purity of its origins” creation. Nor do I believe that there is a “Heaven” and “Hell” where people supposedly go to after they die and where their bodies will supposedly go to after the “resurrection of the dead” and the “last judgment”.
I believe what the Hindu scriptures teach about life after death. They teach that our spirit’s have three encasements/entrapments, the physical body, the astral spiritual body and casual spiritual body and that we should ultimately be seeking to be liberated from all three of these encasements, so that our spirits can merger and become completely one with God’s Spirit. I also believe in reincarnation, which occurs over and over again until we advance spiritually and qualify to move on to an astral world or a casual world and ultimately into eternal bliss beyond the three encasements.
I believe that some Latter Rain/New Age Movement people will actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or “Manifestation of the Sons of God”. I also believe that the government of the nations will be upon their/our shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to our divine right to rule the world, Jesus Christ, the supreme New Age yogi guru, will return and we will then present the kingdom to him.
[note: When referring to Christ’s return, I mean He will temporarily manifest Himself in an exact duplication of his former earthly body.
[note: The earth will eventually become invisible and its spiritual energy will then return back into God’s Spirit, from where it originally came from.]
