From whence does it come? The Bible A reveals that Satan is the hellish creator of this rough and chilling air current. He is the “prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2). But the gale force winds now ripping through man’s weakened defenses and shaking the very foundations of the world also have an earthly source: the New Age Movement. The New Age is the last age. It will culminate in the emergence of an astonishingly powerful World Teacher, the New Age false “Messiah,” who will be worshiped by all the world as a supernatural God of Forces. This man of sin, the Beast with the number 666, will cause every man, woman, and child alive to take a Mark, either on the forehead or the right hand. Only born-again Christians will be so bold as to refuse this Mark. They will be put to death for their disobedience. Satan knows his days are numbered. He must do his evil work quickly while there is still time, for soon Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, will arrive on Planet Earth. Like a mighty whirlwind from heaven He will seize the Kingdom promised Him by the Father from the beginning and destroy the Adversary and his legions of followers. God’s will shall prevail. Furious and frustrated over his blazingly imminent end, Satan is gearing up for a monumental, last-ditch effort to capture the souls of men and women. Raging psychopath, liar and mass murderer that he is, Lucifer’s mind is consumed with his mad ambition to take as many captives as possible with him into the dark pit. Into this fiery pit he will be cast by our Lord and imprisoned for a thousand years, awaiting his final, everlasting and doomed fate. The immediate future will be bleak for all of humanity. The Christian community will especially be in jeopardy as New Age leaders, incited by their demonic overlords, ruthlessly and methodically carry out their meticulously prepared Plan for world domination. Satan has energized his followers with a special infusion of enthusiasm and ill will. The planet will experience uncontrollable spasms of violence and chaos. Widespread terror and rampant savagery will envelop the land, and blood will be shed on a massive scale. Those who believe in Christ Jesus will be the earliest victims of the coming days of horror and brutality. The stage is already set for the purge of Christian believers to begin in earnest. All that is needed is for the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist, to appear on the scene. And appear he will. Millions of New Agers, many in positions of great influence in Politics, law, medicine, education, religion, have been tipped off by their demon spirit guides as to his imminent appearance. They have been discreetly told in advance that the dawning of the New Age Kingdom of the Beast is at hand. - v - Very soon the one upon whom they have waited so long in eager anticipation will burst forth to grab the reins of world power and take dominion. Breathtaking events and extraordinary hardship and suffering will soon overtake mankind. The Bible foretold these events and told us that fear and shock will so grip men in these days of terror that their hearts will fail them. Things will be so dreadful that if it were not for the Second Coming of the Lord, the planet and every living person would be destroyed: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. (Matt. 24:21, 22) Things to Come: The Plan In my book Dark Secrets of the New Age, I exposed the thirteen-point, hidden Plan of Satan to bring to pass a One World Government and a One World Religion headed by a New Age Messiah or “Christ.” Now, in Mystery Mark of the New Age, I unveil startling facts revealing exactly how satanically-inspired New Age leaders intend to successfully achieve these horrendous objectives. As I worked unceasingly over the past two and one-half years probing into the strange, often impenetrable labyrinth that is the New Age, Satan came up against me repeatedly. But “greater is he that is in (us), than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Each time Satan came forth to stall my investigation and thwart my research, I called on God to bind the Adversary. Without reservation, I give God all the glory for what is revealed here and praise Him for His faithfulness. - vi - - 7 - PART ONE And He Causeth All to Receive A Mark - 8 - 0NE The Gathering Fury And they worshiped the dragon who gave power unto the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? . And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:4, 8) My Army is ready for battle, My Masters of Wisdom and Myself at the head. That battle will be fought for the continuance of man on this earth. Rest assured that my Army shall triumph! (Lord Maitreya, the New Age “Christ”) atan has a Mark he wants to give you. If you take his Mark, he will own your own mind, your body, your spirit. He will be your father. S And there will be no escape, no way out. You will be damned. However, you are not alone. Satan intends to give his Mark to every man, woman, and child on the face of Planet Earth. He will not be satisfied until you and your entire family receive his Mark, and all your neighbors and mine have it. No, he won’t be happy until all of humanity comes to worship him and him alone. Satan is well on the way to success in his goal of enslaving the world. To accomplish his dark objectives, he has reestablished his Church, Mystery Babylon. Popularly called the New Age Movement, it is a perverse and diabolical institution founded on a web of lies and deceit. Spanning the globe and encompassing hundreds of millions of teachers and disciples, it has within its fold thousands of individual cults, churches, groups, and organizations. All oppose Biblical Christianity. These many churches and groups constantly cooperate and collude. There is a conspiracy—a monstrous and hideous conspiracy. The conspirators themselves fearlessly call it an “Open Conspiracy.1 One of its leaders, Jose Arguelles, mastermind of the worldwide Harmonic Convergence of August 16/17, 1987, when several hundred thousand satanists, pagans, and other ungodly people assembled to herald the dawning of a New Age, has frankly stated: We’re almost at the completion stage of bringing all the thousands of New Age groups, oganizations and churches together2 Arguelles says that the purpose of the 1987 Harmonic Convergence was to have 144,000 rainbow warriors” chosen—culled out worldwide—to become divine leaders of the emerging New Age Kingdom and planetary government. These are to be the elite who shall rule Planet Earth. According to Arguelles, what happened at this huge “cosmic festival” was that New Age participants united in “surrender to the higher intelligence that rules this planet.3 Since our Bible identifies Satan as ruler of this world until Jesus Christ returns, we clearly see to - 9 - whom these 144,000 rainbow warriors owe their unreserved loyalty and allegiance. The New Age Five-Year Plan We also are told by Jose Arguelles and others that the Harmonic Convergence kicked off a five-year plan during which the New Age is to gain incredible, irreversible momentum toward achieving its goal of world domination4 Among the revealing aims of this ambitious five-year plan, the New Age intends to: (1) Bring all New Age groups, organizations and churches together in unity and strength.
