Antichrist's Coming World Religion
Hunt, Dave
May 1 1990
The
Antichrist is generally depicted as a militant atheist who brazenly opposes
Christianity. Communism has been called an antichrist system because of its
overt suppression of Christianity. It is not surprising, then, that when they
were finally able to speak their minds, the Romanian people who suffered under
him for 24 years called their deposed president, Nicholae Ceausescu, "the
Antichrist." That is why they chose Christmas as the day most fitting to
execute him and his wife Elena before a firing squad, having found them guilty
of murdering at least 60,000 Romanians and of robbing the Romanian people of
more than $1 billion.
Of
course Ceausescu was not the Antichrist. His opposition to Christ and His
gospel was much too obvious. Though it may mean "against," in Greek
the prefix anti also means "a substitute for" or "in the place
of." This is, in fact, the way in which the Bible presents the Antichrist.
Rather than rejecting Christ, he will pretend to be Christ and thus will
pervert rather than openly oppose Christianity. He will be a "false
Christ" (Mat:24:24, etc.), offering a false and "positive"
Christianity acceptable to all.
Hitler
was a good potential Antichrist. His opposition to God, plain enough now,
deceived many at first. While deliberately out to destroy Christianity and
replace it with his neopagan occultism, Hitler pretended that he was the
champion of real Christianity. And in many ways his pretense was convincing,
for Hitler officially opposed homosexuality, immorality, occultism (though he
was involved in occultism/immorality). He claimed to be God's representative to
establish His kingdom upon earth, and regularly invoked the name and blessing
of God in his speeches. For example:
1940: "We pray our Lord that He would continue to
bless us in our battle for freedom....
1941: "We believe we shall earn the blessing of the
Supreme Leader...the Lord God has given His approval to our battle. He will be
with us...in the future.
1942: "And we will pray the Lord God for that, the
salvation of the nation....
1943: "Our Lord God...will help us as He always
has....
Could
any real Christians have been deceived? Did some go along with Hitler to save
their own skins? The following from a speech by Dr.Hans Kerrl, Nazi Minister of
Church Affairs, is probably representative of the deception under the
Antichrist's world religion. It reveals how blatant the lie can become while
still being eagerly embraced in the name of "positive Christianity":
The Party stands [for]...Positive Christianity, and
Positive Christianity is National Socialism...National Socialism is the doing
of God's will...God's will reveals itself in German blood....That Christianity
consists in faith in Christ as Son of God makes me laugh....
No, Christianity is not dependent upon the Apostles'
Creed...True Christianity is represented by the Party, and the German people
are now called by the Party and especially by the Fuehrer to a real
Christianity....
The Fuehrer is the herald of a New Revelation.
Thousands
of German pastors joined the newly organized "German Christians' Faith
Movement," which supported Nazi doctrines and promoted the concept of a
"Reich Church" that would unite all Protestants under the state. A
minority of pastors, led by Martin Niemoeller, who had originally welcomed
Hitler to power, realized at last that Hitler's "positive
Christianity" was in fact anti-Christian, and so opposed the nazification
of the church. The vast majority of both Catholics and Protestants and their
leaders, however, enthusiastically welcomed Hitler's takeover of their country
and obeyed his orders without apparent protest or twinge of conscience.
The
"Reich Church," formed under leaders picked by Hitler, was formally
recognized by the Reichstag on July 14, 1933. On November 13, a massive rally
was held in the Berlin Sportpalast by the "German Christians' Faith
Movement." Leaders of the rally proposed abandonment of the Old Testament
(not so far from today's rejection of Israel) and revision of the New Testament
to fit National Socialism. Resolutions called for "One People, One Reich, One Faith" and an oath
of allegiance to Hitler to be signed by all pastors. Though
Christians had never expected developments to reach this stage, most were too
happy over the prosperity and the new social stability to be concerned about
Nazi control of the church. Protesters were dealt with harshly by the Gestapo,
whose reign of terror against true Christians began with the arrest of 700
pastors in the fall of 1935.
Amazingly, it was all done in the name of "freedom of religion"
and for "unity"especially unity . That will be the cry of the
deceivers in our day. Ecumenism is so appealing, yet will eventually produce an
apostate church for the Antichrist. Make no mistake: What happened in Germany
will happen again but with far greater deception. In fact, one can discern its
beginnings now.
Today
increasing numbers of "Third Wave Prophets" are bringing a flood of
"new revelations." This "Latter Rain" movement is growing
with astonishing speed in association with the Vineyards and Kansas City
Fellowship under the influence of "prophets" such as John Wimber,
Paul Cain (former associate of William Branham), Rick Joyner, Mike Bickle and
others. Increasing numbers of churches are "submitting" themselves to
these "prophets" in what appears to be a rapidly growing new discipleship
movement based upon "signs and wonders" which is bringing dangerous
heresies into the church in the name of holiness and unity. More about that in
a future article.
"Positive
Christianity" has been growing in popularity in America and is already
being exported by Western church leaders into Eastern Europe. Those who promote
positive/possibility thinking and positive confession are among the most
influential television preachers and church leaders in the West. Any suggestion
that a teaching is not biblical is rejected as "negative" and
destructive of the unity that must be achieved at all cost, not only between
Protestants and Catholics but among all religions.
A
vast ecumenical movement has been quietly gathering irresistible momentum for
years. Its roots go back to the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago. Swami
Vivekananda, who stole the show, later founded Vedanta temples across the
Western world. A new vision of religious unity spawned such organizations as
The Temple of Understanding (founded in 1960 to unite all world religions) in
which secular leaders such as John D. Rockefeller and popes such as Paul VI and
John XXIII played a role. It has been meeting for years at New York's Cathedral
of St. John the Divine (Episcopalian). Similar ecumenical groups also connected
with the UN Meditation Room include Wainwright House of Rye, NY, involved in
Jungian spiritual psychology and with more impact upon mainstream churches.
Periodic "Spiritual Summits" of world religions are held, as at St.
John's in October 1975. It included a Shinto worship ceremony performed at the
cathedral's "Christian" altar and culminated in addresses at the
United Nations by representatives of five major faiths. 1 Mother Teresa was a
keynote speaker. 2
A
growing partnership between government and religion is preparing the world for
its coming political/religious leader, the Antichrist. The motivation is good:
peace and environmental protection, around which all religions can unite. EPA
chief William K. Reilly, who calls himself a "pure Irish Catholic,"
has proposed a new "spiritual vision" of conservation.
"Spiritual" and "ecumenical" is the new emphasis. In
October 1988, a typical gathering of environmentalists from all over North
America in the Santa Cruz, California redwoods "opened with a prayer by
Native Americans, thanking Grandfather God 'for all the good things you have
put on Mother Earth.'" A "Baptist minister—an ecumenical peace
activist"—was one speaker. The meeting "closed with a
community-building, earth-celebrating 'spiral dance' ritual led by well-known
writer, activist, and feminist 'witch,' Starhawk," long associated with
Catholic priest Matthew Fox at his Holy Names College in Oakland, California. 3
A
Global Survival Conference held in Oxford, England in 1988 brought together
"spiritual and parliamentary leaders." A second one was held in
January 1990, in Moscow. The highly religious United Nations University for
Peace sponsored in Costa Rica in 1989 a Global Gathering for Peace as a
follow-up on the Pope's World Day of Prayer for Peace held in Assisi, Italy in
1986. The Catholic Church supported the conference and the Dalai Lama was a
speaker. Keynote speaker Robert Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary General
and Chancellor of the University for Peace, and a Catholic, called the uniting
of Europe set for 1992 "a step towards a world community...a harbinger of
hope." He explained:
We
need a world or cosmic spirituality. ...I hope that religious leaders will get
together and define...the cosmic laws which are common to all their
faiths....They should tell the politicians what the cosmic laws are, what God,
or the gods, or the cosmos are expecting from humans....We must also hope that
the Pope will come before the year 2000 to the United Nations, speak for all
the religions and spiritualities on this planet and give the world the
religious view of how the third millennium should be a spiritual millennium....

As
for the EEC, an official poster depicts Europe as a growing Tower of Babel! At
Babel, God scattered mankind and confounded their language in order to stifle
the ingenuity that was determined to assault the throne of God by building a
"tower that would reach to heaven." The new hope of the world is for
"unification" and a single global tongue—undoing what God did at
Babel and pushing the rebellion to its final stage and ushering in the reign of
Antichrist. The "stars" depicting the 12 EEC nations on the poster
are upside-down pentagrams, symbols of the Goat of Mendes, or Satan.
Both
the Pope and Gorbachev are pushing the idea of a "united Europe from the
Atlantic to the Urals." Gorbachev justifies his view by saying that
Russians are Europeans, too, because of their "Christian heritage"
dating back 1,000 years to the "conversion" of Czar Vladimir.
Staggering stuff from the head of world communism, which has tried to destroy
Christianity for 70 years! Eastern Europe is in the process of being united
with Western Europe—unthinkable a few months ago. We are seeing the prophesied
revival of the Roman Empire, which included much of Eastern Europe. Time just
changed its spelling from Rumania to Romania in response to complaints by its
many citizens pointing out its Roman heritage. The Pope and Roman Catholicism,
and particularly the world's 30 million [Note: 70 million in 1995] Catholic
charismatics, will play a key role in coming events.
Apostasy
is taking over our churches and seminaries. Typical is the report that Denver's
Conservative Baptist Seminary is influenced by Catholic Charismatic Renewal and
Richard Foster and is now advocating Eastern meditation, including TM, Zen and
yoga through its theology department. Many church leaders who have been
accepted as evangelicals are becoming bolder and more blatant in their
ecumenism. One of the key figures is Robert Schuller, who has proudly said,
"...what sets me apart from fundamentalists [is that they] are trying to
convert everybody to believe how they believe....We know the things the major
faiths can agree on. We try to focus on those without offending those with
different viewpoints..." 5 Schuller's connections include Soviet sycophant
Armand Hammer, the cult of Unity, Amway, media magnate Rupert Murdoch (who's
financing Schuller TV in Europe), Napoleon Hill's associate W. Clement Stone
(like Norman Vincent Peale, Schuller's mentor, a 33rd-degree Mason), who put up
the funds to send out more than 250,000 copies of Self-Esteem: The New
Reformation to pastors and seminary professors, and finally, A Course in Miracles
promoter Gerald Jampolsky.
There
is a rat's nest of interconnected groups working for a new world religion and
pushing globalism and religious instruction in schools here and in cooperation
with the Soviets. The trail passes through the board rooms of such giants as
The Carnegie Corporation and Amway, and foundations such as Religious Heritage
of America, Council for the Advancement of Citizenship and Center for
Citizenship Education...and ultimately leads back to Os Guinness's Williamsburg
Charter and its dangerous religious curriculum for public schools mentioned in
our January publication. More on this later.
Another
link between all of the above is the ecological concern that has spawned
various environmentalist groups, some of which worship Mother Earth as a living
organism known as Gaia. Greenpeace addresses valid concerns. It is, however, an
attempt to bring peace on earth without submission to the Prince of Peace.
God
put rebellious Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and guarded the Tree of Life
with the flaming sword of His holy judgment upon sin. Christ took that sword in
His heart for us and became "the way" to life. In fact, He is
"the life." Environmentalist movements, for all the good they
represent, are attempts to restore man to paradise without coming under that
sword through Christ. It is the Cross that is compromised by ecumenism. http://www.jahtruth.net/horse.htm

SUMMARY
In
both German churches there were members, including clergy and leading
theologians, who openly supported the Nazi regime. With time, anti-Nazi
sentiment grew in both Protestant and Catholic Church circles, as the Nazi
regime exerted greater pressure on them. In turn, the Nazi regime saw a
potential for dissent in church criticism of state measures. When a protest
statement was read from the pulpits of Confessing churches in March 1935, for
example, Nazi authorities reacted forcefully by briefly arresting over 700
pastors. After the 1937 papal encyclical Mit brennender Sorge ("With
burning concern") was read from Catholic pulpits, the Gestapo confiscated
copies from diocesan offices throughout the country.
The
general tactic by the leadership of both Protestant and Catholic churches in
Germany was caution with respect to protest and compromise with the Nazi state
leadership where possible. There was criticism within both churches of Nazi
racialized ideology and notions of "Aryanism," and movements emerged
in both churches to defend church members who were considered
"non-Aryan" under Nazi racial laws (e.g., Jews who had converted).
Yet throughout this period there was virtually no public opposition to
antisemitism or any readiness by church leaders to publicly oppose the regime
on the issues of antisemitism and state-sanctioned violence against the Jews.
There were individual Catholics and Protestants who spoke out on behalf of
Jews, and small groups within both churches that became involved in rescue and
resistance activities (for example, the White Rose and Herman Maas).

After
1945, the silence of the church leadership and the widespread complicity of
"ordinary Christians" compelled leaders of both churches to address
issues of guilt and complicity during the Holocaust—a process that continues
internationally to this day.
The
JAH TALK website has been spawned from a quest to bring down the walls of
silence over the worldwide corruption within our midst today.
Its
purpose is to alert as many people as possible to the news that Christ, in His
Second Coming, is here on earth right now. He is here to claim His Rightful
British Israelite Throne. People of all faiths and none, now need to take note
and heed the key message of our time, before it’s too late.
Could
any real Christians have been deceived? Did some go along with Hitler to save
their own skins? The following from a speech by Dr.Hans Kerrl, Nazi Minister of
Church Affairs, is probably representative of the deception under the
Antichrist's world religion. It reveals how blatant the lie can become while
still being eagerly embraced in the name of "positive Christianity":
