"One
key question always seemed
unanswerable: 'If I don't like the
world government, or it doesn't like
me, where do I go then?'"
(Harlan Cleveland, "The Birth of
a New World", 1993, p.62)
"You will hide [those who trust
in You] in the secret place of Your
Presence...."
(David, King of Israel,
"Psalms" 31:20)
To date I have not seen a single
Jewish response to the threat which
the New Age Plan poses to our people,
not to mention the rest of mankind. I
have no idea why.
Truth be told, I feel like David might
have felt watching Goliath taunt
"the armies of the living
G-d" with no one to answer the
challenge. More accurately, I'm blown
away with the realization that hardly
anyone has even noticed that there's a
Goliath standing there.
I realize that some Jews are going to
squirm uneasily at my personal
response. Some will accuse me of
"preaching", as though
prophetic-style warnings and urgings
were the sole domain of evangelical
Christians. Whose prophets are they,
anyway? Some will say it is not a
"Jewish" response because it
is too "spiritual". To
these, I can only suggest that we
listen carefully to the New Agers, who
may see our weaknesses better than we
do: Alice Bailey always said that the
Jews tend to deal with a spiritual
problem on a rationalistic, material
level. And we do. Throw money at it,
convene a conference, set up
committees, file the reports. Maybe
even launch an educational program.
But meanwhile the real battlefield,
which begins and ends in the
individual spirit, remains abandoned
to our sworn cosmic enemies... to
their smug delight.
It wasn't always that way with the
Jewish people. Our own Book is filled
with stories of battles waged by Jews
who knew how to fight on the ground
and in the spirit as well. Our most
celebrated king, David son of Jesse,
did not hesitate to combine the two
strategies, a discipline which he
learned long before his ascension to
the throne. To his dying day, he
attributed his success to a
relationship with that same Entity who
is so hated by our New Age
adversaries. There were prophets too,
whose bold words and acts of faith we
all look upon as some kind of
inheritance, whether we believe them
or not. But today's Jews who take
those Bible stories as historical
fact, who relate to its advice and
promises like money in the bank, are
considered a bit out of touch by their
more "rational" brethren.
Well, as humbling as it may be, a
realistic grasp on life - particularly
Jewish or Israeli life - requires
acknowledging that some of what we
Jews experience supersedes rational
comprehension. The presence of an
identifiable Jewish people, through
4000 years and repeated attempts at
annihilation, is itself a historical
fact that defies rational explanation.
It has no historical parallel. Let's
consider for a moment all you
skeptical, secular readers out there
who still cling to the label
"Jew" in the year 2000: just
explaining you requires more than a
rational answer.
So here I offer my response, after
coming to terms personally with all
that awaits the Jewish people in the
Age of Aquarius. In a word, the only
antidote for New Age
"transformation" is a very
Old Age concept: Restoration. Let's
get back to the place we belong
spiritually.
The process of Restoration begins
within and moves progressively
outward, as follows:
1. Restoring Your Own Jewish
Spirituality
- for Secular Jews
1a. "Where did we go wrong?"
Many concerned Jews have been asking
themselves this question while
watching this generation stampede into
Eastern religious cults, into
intermarriage, into anything that
comes along, leaving their people far
behind without a thought. Some of you
may have asked it while reading this
series, coming to the realization that
we have been heavily sabotaged from
within the community as well as
outside... and we never even noticed.
You deserve an answer. An answer that
goes beyond the material
"solutions" we are so fond
of implementing and get such meager
results from.
The New Agers are right about one
thing: the answer will come from
within. Not in the sense they mean: we
don't have "all the answers"
within us. But we do have the one
answer which will trigger our
deliverance. It is actually the answer
to two questions: "Where did we
go wrong?" -- and the one G-d
always asks when His people go wrong:
"Where are you?"
We went wandering off, and now we're
lost.... (If we weren't lost, Hannah's
series would be unnecessary....)
Okay, okay - I'm lost. I see this
tidal wave coming our way, and I have
no idea which way to run.
This is the only answer we can offer
with any authority. But it's the only
answer which our G-d needs from us in
order to step into the picture. Either
that's our answer, or we can continue
to nurse our pride, tell ourselves
that everything is okay, that we're
not lost. The Jewish population
worldwide is growing, antisemitism is
dying out, and we are in no danger at
all from these New Age "fringe
lunatics" in the UN, the
educational system, the media and the
synagogues.... Who are we kidding?
Restoring the Jewish community starts
with yourself. It's "I" plus
"you" that makes
"we". If "we" are
ever going to regain the ground lost
to NA in our community, we're going to
have to dig down to the very bedrock -
whatever it was that kept the Jewish
people alive for all this time - and
reclaim what we lost. Personally.
And if you're wondering how to find
your way back to that bedrock, the
NAers have betrayed their knowledge of
what and where it is. It's the only
thing they truly fear. They are
frantically trying to demolish it,
before we wake up and catch on. It's
Jewish faith in the one and only G-d.
Not a life dedicated to understanding
the Mishneh and Gemara - that doesn't
threaten The Plan in the least. What
scares them is the in-their-face kind
of faith you read about in the Torah
and Prophets, the kind of faith that
carries no fear or doubt because it
can see Who is on top. Tidal wave or
not.
It is my conviction that G-d knew long
ago what we would face in every
generation, including this ultimate
challenge to our spiritual and
physical survival. That being so, He
embedded advice for us in the words of
His prophets. As you will see, the few
examples I include below are amazingly
relevant in their choice of words.
Coincidence? How could our prophets of
millennia past have known the very
terminology the Hierarchy would use
today in their bid to re-open their
ancient war? The writers of the Bible
couldn't have known, but the Opponent
of the Hierarchy certainly would have
- He "sat [as King] for the
Flood" ("Psalms" 29:10,
literal translation), the last
encounter where the Hierarchy admits
being defeated by the Force behind the
Jews.
Strengthen your personal faith in your
G-d.
Regardless of your attitude toward
Jewish religious tradition, take time
to study the many historical accounts
of attempts to annihilate the Jews and
their G-d (for these two are linked by
our enemies without exception), and
what caused these attempts to fail.
Whether you choose Biblical incidents
or those from history (from the
Maccabees to modern Israel), you will
notice a pattern. It consists of a few
courageous people fighting against
impossible odds, plus some mysterious
turn of events which evened the odds
for them. The people involved were not
often impressive physically or
mentally, but they distinguished
themselves in their willingness to
sacrifice their lives, if necessary,
to cling to the G-d of Israel, to the
same old patch of ground in the Middle
East, or to their Jewishness (which in
the end all amounts to the same thing,
considering how the Jews came to be in
the first place). While many did
indeed give up their lives, many more
survived to relate unusual
circumstances of deliverance and even
outright supernatural intervention.
This is documented in every war the
modern State of Israel has fought,
including the 1991 Gulf War.
Consider the alternatives for the
future.
In the interests of realism, let us
acknowledge that, based on the
evidence, there is no chance of
surviving this New World Order on our
own strength. Either the New Age Plan
will succeed in making the world
"judenrein", or our G-d will
even the odds once again.
If we don't believe that Israel has a
G-d, we might as well dismantle the
State of Israel, delete Passover from
our calendars, apologize to Hitler,
take our "karma medicine"
and leave the world without a fuss.
Even if we should believe that G-d is
not real, the New Age very definitely
believes it. They also know about our
being chosen by G-d as His instruments
in the world, and they will not rest
until they "seal the door"
to that hated Force - down to the last
Jew.
In the event that you do not believe
in G-d, yet you do believe that the
Jewish people is a historically valid
entity, and that we have every right
to perpetuate our identity, then you
are left with explaining why. What
history or origins will you base your
conviction on? To what can you
attribute the crazy staying power of a
people who hold the record as the
all-time favorite target for
annihilation - including several
efforts at self-erasure? If you don't
fall back on some kind of Higher Power
as an explanation, your rational
processes will begin to suffer from
cognitive dissonance.
Of course you can always accept the
humbling but satisfying answer that
the G-d of Israel lives. Not that we
understand everything He has done with
our people, but He is apparently there
- and involved. He's been keeping some
very unlikely promises, in the face of
some very impressive opposition. He is
not daunted by His own people's
skeptism, or their outright denial of
His existence. His promises include
dealing a final blow to "the wise
men of Babylon" who "rule
the whole earth" [never achieved
until this day of global culture] and
"the daughter of the Kasdim"
with her "sorceries" (Jer.
50 and 51, Isa. 14 and 47). It is
noteworthy that "Helel ben
Shahar", the New Agers'
"light-bearer", receives
judgment from G-d as the king of
Babylon (Isa. 14:3-23).
2. Restoring Your Own Jewish
Spirituality
- for Observant Jews
"Have I been taught real
Torah?"
You may have never questioned whether
what you have absorbed is really a
Jewish faith, especially if you are in
orthodox circles. But since New Agers
are boasting control of the culture we
have grown up in, and even penetration
into the Torah community, it's time to
investigate.
Is everything you have accepted about
the nature of G-d and man, good and
evil, based on the teachings of the
eternal, unchanging Torah? Is it based
on teachings of Jewish leaders who
never violated Deuteronomy 4:2 or
12:32 by cancelling or
"reinventing" Torah? Does
your community believe that certain
Torah commandments can be disregarded
by certain rabbis or mekubalim because
of their lofty spirituality?
Are your leaders teaching Torah, or
are they (even unknowingly) offering a
mixture of Torah and "universal
ideas" from other religions? It's
true that Torah contains universal
ideas, but with clear boundaries and
exclusions. Of special relevance here,
we are explicitly commanded not to
"inquire" how idol
worshipers "serve their
gods" so that we can "do
likewise" for our own G-d. (Deut.
12:30) Is there anything in the body
of today's accepted traditions passing
as "Jewish" that can be
found in ancient mystery religions,
but not in Torah? Do you even know the
Five Books well enough to answer that
question?
(Isaiah 8:19-20, literal translation
from Hebrew:)
"And when they say to you, 'Seek
the mediums [channelers] and wizards
[adepts in occult mysteries] who chirp
and mutter; shall not a people seek
its god on behalf of the living among
the dead?' To the Law and to the
Testimony, if they will not speak
according to this word: that it has no
dawn [shahar]."
In other words, do not follow those
leaders who refuse to confirm the fact
that this is not the "dawning of
a new age" and that Lucifer is
not "son of the morning". Do
not follow those who condone occult
activities like communing with the
dead. If you can't find such a rabbi
to teach you, then stick to "the
Law and the Testimony" on your
own.
My rabbi, right or wrong.
Have you been taught not to scrutinize
what the sages taught for possible
error? Have you been taught that your
rabbis cannot be in error?
(Infallibility was an old Catholic
doctrine, if you please, and even they
only applied it to the Pope!) If a
leader you admire is following after
something forbidden by Torah, do you
feel obligated to follow him into it,
or to stand on Deuteronomy 13? If
false teachers of Torah were not
possible, the Prophets would never
have warned against them (see Ezekiel
34, Jeremiah 2:8, Zephaniah 3, Isaiah
28:7-14, etc).
Speaking of the Prophets, do you
really believe that their words are
from G-d, that "all his
words" given through the Prophets
"are truth and
righteousness", as the Haftarah
blessing says? Have you ever taken
time to study the Prophets, or are
there entire passages of "truth
and righteousness" which you've
never even read once? Perhaps you been
taught that the sages and rabbis have
veto power over the Prophets - did you
ever think to ask how that is possible
if "not one" word of the
Prophets "will turn back and
return empty"? What will you do
if you don't get an answer: stay or
leave?
3. Restoring Those Around You
Educate the Jewish people to distance
themselves from all groups which
herald the New Age, and to
disassociate themselves from all
unJewish teachings.
Our main strength in this regard is:
what are we lacking in our Tenach that
we would need to supplement it with
these foreign teachings? The Dalai
Lama's challenge must be, and can be,
answered.
Why would Jews need a teaching about
"karma" to pay for sins,
when we can have Forgiveness with the
promise, "I will remember your
sins no more"? What Jew needs
"reincarnation" when we've
been promised Resurrection? Why accept
the existence of evil in G-d when we
have far better explanations in the
books of Genesis, Job and Psalms?
Which "channeler" has a
track record anywhere near that of our
own Prophets - and why are our people
so ignorant of those amazing Jewish
prophecies? (Israelis will know what
I'm talking about; the old saying is
still repeated by secular Israelis:
"Anybody who lives in Israel and
doesn't believe in miracles is just
not being realistic....")
It is not enough, however, to say we
don't need NA; we must disassociate
ourselves from it in order to avoid
the Divine judgment which NAers are
destined to reap for their alliance
with those eternal losers, the
rebellious Hierarchy. Since the New
Agers agree that Babylon, the chief
guardian of the "ageless
wisdom", has never ceased to
exist spiritually, the following
prophecy is quite as relevant for
today as when it was given to the
physical kingdom:
(Jeremiah 51:5-7, literal translation
from Hebrew:) "For Israel has not
been widowed, nor Judah, of his G-d
the L-rd of Hosts, though their land
is filled with guilt more than with
the Holy One of Israel. Flee out of
Babylon, and let every man save his
life [or soul]; do not be cut off in
her iniquity; for it is a time of
vengeance to the L-rd, a wage He will
pay to her. A cup of gold is Babylon
in the hand of G-d, making all the
earth drunk; nations have drunk her
wine; therefore nations will go mad
[yithollelu - interestingly, same root
as Isaiah's helel, "the shining
one" who fell from Heaven].
Suddenly has Babylon fallen and is
broken..."
The rest of that chapter is very
interesting as well. Israel is
commanded, in addition to leaving
physical Babylon, to specifically
"flee from the Kasdim"
(Chaldeans); these were the elite
sorcerers of Babylon and possessors of
the "secret doctrines". (see
Isaiah 48:20; Jeremiah 50:8)
Arm your children with discernment.
It is not possible to shield your
children from the indoctrination now
in progress. The New Age is counting
on the young generation to usher in
their Plan, and no effort has been
spared to reach them. If you filter
the TV and movies, they will get it
through Disney productions and other
innocent-looking programs. If you turn
off access to the Internet, they will
find it in many computer and video
games. If you eliminate TV, computer
and movies, they will be exposed in
the classroom, on the school computer
network, and in the libraries. If you
home-school, they will learn it at the
homes of their relatives or friends.
Limiting their circles to
"kosher" families, friends
and organizations will not ensure
their protection either, since Jewish
communities have long been infiltrated
[see the Missionizing Section]. Even
relocating to Israel will not spare
them from the onslaught [see the
survey of NA religions operating in
Israel, which only highlights the
larger groups].
The only solution is to teach them how
to spot the NA indoctrination, how to
test it with Torah, and how to
actively reject it for the fraud it
is. Sit with them and point out
examples (you'll have no shortage of
material). Rent a video and pause it
periodically to discuss with them why
people find these concepts attractive,
what is wrong with them from a Torah
standpoint, and also where the Jews
are being slandered in subtle ways.
The role of villian in the more recent
sci-fi productions often has Jewish
mannerisms, or alternately fits the
description of Bailey and others as a
"vampire" who feeds on
humanity; and occasionally the bad guy
is openly identified as Jewish (for
example, the recent movie version of
"X Men", where the
archvillian is clearly a bitter
Holocaust survivor). In my own
attempts to educate children, I have
found that kids as young as 7 can
learn to identify NA messages with
accuracy and explain why they are
unacceptable.
4. Restoring the Jewish Community
Reconcile and Reunite.
No one can ignore the friction in the
community over different approaches to
Jewish observance and lifestyle. It is
not my intention to endorse one over
another, although my own choices have
been made with confidence. My point
here is that this is no time to argue
over what is surely a footnote to the
threat facing the community. I stand
by my contention that unless we rally
around the Torah, our individual faith
will not stand the test to come. But
even if we do not resolve this issue,
we have a better chance defending
ourselves together than in separate
corners. The snap judgments of the
secular against the "Torah
fanatics" and the orthodox
against the "Torah breakers"
must be replaced by a more thoughtful
examination of the Other Side, with
the realization that a media
controlled by our common enemy will
have an interest in feeding us
misconceptions about each other to
divide and conquer. If we have half a
brain, we will invest more in dialog,
to make sure the Other Side learns who
we are without having to rely on the
media. If we're really smart, we will
make a joint commitment to protect all
Jews from being delegitimized by NA
propaganda, even when their lifestyle
drives us up the wall.
Accelerate the gathering of Diaspora
Jews to Israel.
It is obvious now more than ever that
the Jews have no way of defending
themselves outside the Land. When the
Global Governance system becomes
operational, it will be international
policy to discriminate against Jews,
to take away their children who have
been "wrongly indoctrinated"
and to target the whole lot of us for
"cleansing action".
The only defensible position for Jews
of any persuasion is to stand with
their own people in their own land,
where we have survived enemy attacks
time and again (though rationally we
can't explain why...). It is also the
best defensive policy for Israel --
the more the better, since even with
G-d's help, "Five will chase one
hundred" but "a hundred will
chase ten thousand." (Leviticus
26:8)
According to the published NA
timetable, this leaves world Jewry
about one to three years to
consolidate in their land before they
may be faced with the "Luciferic
initiation" or the alternative.
(G-d may decide to postpone their Plan
again as He has apparently done
several times, but who wants to gamble
on this chance with their family?)
5. Restoring an Ancient Relationship
If the NA has its way, the Jews will
be eliminated, along with any non-Jews
who show loyalty to the Jewish Bible
and people. The latter group is
clearly a potential ally in resisting
NA domination, but the largest
contingent among these has ironically
been the group under heaviest
suspicion by Jews: the evangelical
Christians. Even more ironically, this
group more than any other has a faith
system that most closely parallels
that of religious Jews. With those
Evangelicals who are not infected with
"replacement theology"
(which I suspect is a NA invention
anyway), Torah Jews are highly
compatible. These alone among the
Christians are interested in moving
backward theologically toward the
earliest roots of Christianity, where
their first leaders were actually Jews
- and Jews who respected Torah, no
less.
In a certain sense, this subgroup is
the equivalent of younger brothers to
the Jews, with a potential for a
relationship that has not been as
supportive in perhaps 1800 years. Yet
most Jews continue to single out these
particular Christians as objects of
suspicion and mistrust, because of the
strength of their convictions and
their willingness to talk about what
they believe to everyone. Including
Jews.
What's the matter with us? If a group
systematically excluded Jews from
receiving information about any other
subject on earth, we would yell
"antisemitism". Yet we react
in anger and disgust when these
Christians refuse to discriminate
against Jews in offering what they
consider valuable. The Jewish
"Jesus allergy" belongs to
another time and place, when the Jews
were a homeless people, second-class,
without right of refusal and at the
mercy of a dominating Church (not
evangelical, I should point out, but
Catholic) which was intent on forcing
Church teaching on us.
We welcome "interfaith"
activities with the kinds of
Christians who won't bother us about
their faith because they have none to
share - they don't take our Bible
seriously anymore (and therefore,
don't be surprised if the day comes
when they don't take Jews seriously
either). Even with the group which
once offended us most, the Catholics,
all is forgiven since they no longer
consider Jews worth recruiting. But we
react with medieval hostility to one
of the strongest allies the Jews will
ever have, rejecting them precisely
for the quality that makes them such
firm friends: they are so convinced of
their beliefs that they think others
should consider them. Are we
threatened by a group that believes
our Prophets strongly enough to see a
Jewish Messiah in them? What does that
say about our attitude toward those
Books which we ourselves gave them?
What does it say about our confidence
in our own identity?
Some will reply that we avoid anything
to do with the Christians in general
because of their habit of denigrating
the Jewish people for rejecting Jesus.
Okay. Why aren't we avoiding and
ostracizing the New Agers from our
communities for the same reason? Our
one-track idea of "soul
stealers" has blinded us to the
point where far more souls are being
stolen by pagan mystics than by any
church we know.
The New Age has an interest in keeping
Jews and Evangelicals at odds with
each other. An alliance for mutual
strengthening on social and spiritual
levels would present a formidable
front to the NA onslaught on both our
communities. They would happily
encourage us to continue viewing
Evangelicals as "deceptive"
for explaining their faith in terms of
our traditions, while they plant
suspicions among the Christians that
orthodox Jews are
"deceptive" for secretly
slandering Gentiles in our Talmud. An
organization like "Toward
Tradition" must infuriate NAers
because it is successfully bringing
observant Jews and evangelical
Christians together to work in a broad
area of common values, without
allergic reactions to the faith of the
other side. Curiously, it bothers many
Jews for the same reason: the
historical friction and mutual
suspicion have been set aside for more
urgent issues, and that alone
constitutes grounds for suspicion.
(See "Onward Christians'
Rabbi", "The Jerusalem
Report", Apr.24, 2000)
If this Jewish-Christian cooperation
spreads, there's no telling what
damage it may do to The Plan.
6. Restoring Disillusioned New Agers
Here I have in mind Jews primarily,
but any human being who is willing to
listen is worthy of our efforts. After
all, our G-d has promised to take a
people for Himself from among the
nations (see Isaiah 51:4 and Amos
9:12, among others). What better
"world service" could we
perform than to offer the one thing
that NA is trying to withhold from
these seekers? Just think: our unique
G-d is now the "forbidden
fruit" in the Garden of Aquarius!
And there will certainly be hungry
inhabitants in that Garden who have
discovered that the standard fare
leaves one rather hollow inside.
Mount an aggressive campaign of
information.
Judging from my own personal dialog
with many in the various NA networks,
even those in direct contact with
spirit guides have doubts at times
about the validity of their path. Some
have expressed disillusionment over
the savage power struggles,
back-stabbing and ego trips running
rampant among supposedly
"enlightened" people, even
at the highest levels. It appears that
the world peace, unity and goodwill
(at least at this stage) are falling
short of all the rosy predictions. I
believe that this will always be the
case unless true repentance (in
Biblical terms) takes place. But I
also believe that, as the NAers
themselves predict, there will
eventually be a leader strong enough
to force a semblance of unity on all
parties, using psychic or spiritual
power (probably gained by the
"Luciferic initiation") to
whip them into line.
Until that time, we must take
advantage of the disarray in the NA
ranks. Besides the weak points noted
above, here are others that can be
used:
6a. "The Masters" and their
slaves: Many "initiates" are
disappointed in their failure to find
the inner peace they were promised.
Instead they are struggling with
psychic powers going out of control,
unpleasant "visitations"
from spirits, and nameless
overwhelming fears, all of which
increase the "higher" they
"ascend". It is almost taboo
for them to admit to these frightening
problems, but such people will be open
to possible explanations. To them I
propose the following thought:
As mentioned before, some information
has been (and likely is now being)
withheld from the public by NA
leaders, on the pretext that people
are not yet "evolved" enough
to accept it. Such items of
information revealed lately, however,
have turned out to be not deep
concepts, but unpalatable programs
which a few short years ago were
considered immoral - thus the real
obstacle was that they could not be
revealed until the public resistance
was weaker. In this context, even the
highest level New Agers, those at the
level of Robert Muller, ought to be
asking themselves how they can be sure
the "ascended masters" have
been straight with even their highest
human disciples. I would submit that
just as NA leaders have hidden certain
"controversial" elements of
the Plan from the public, there can
just as easily be parts of the Plan
kept from all humanity by these
"benevolent" spirit guides,
proposals which would meet with human
resistance, even from Robert Muller,
if fully known. The increasing lack of
personal serenity and equilibrium as
one moves toward the future
"initiation" ought to raise
questions, for that was not part of
the deal.... For such seasoned
political double-talkers and cynical
"reshapers of society" as
those in the NA to never imagine they
might be beaten at their own game by a
higher intelligence shows astonishing
naivete.
6b. Why are They afraid of the Jewish
Force? One reality of life which
stubbornly refuses to be explained
away by the most clever NA arguments
is: our presence. The Jews, supposedly
an inferior race, have not only
somehow survived the centuries which
wiped out all other contemporary
civilizations (including super-charged
Atlantis and the Third Reich), but
survived intensive attempts by enemies
to "help" it into oblivion.
We as a people are a monkey wrench in
the NA theory of human evolution,
mainly because our G-d is a thorn in
the eye of the "ascended
masters". Get rid of the Jews and
their Book, and their G-d will
disappear too - or at least be proven
faithless. But they seem powerless to
do it, and as a result they openly
hate our G-d. (I'm speaking of the
"higher intelligences" now,
since they are the self-proclaimed
authors of the cosmic War to the
death.) A declaration of war implies
the recognition of a threatening power
to be opposed - a dead giveaway that
the "ascended masters" know
our G-d exists; not only that, but His
strength is dreaded (all their
recorded ridicule notwithstanding).
One might be annoyed by a fiction, but
one would certainly not feel
threatened - especially entities at
the level of enlightenment and
self-control which the
"Hierarchy" claims. Those
who respond that the
"Masters" have declared war
only on "the outmoded idea"
of the Jewish G-d must explain why the
"Masters" themselves confess
that the physical Jewish people have
always been and continue to be their
target, down to the last person.
"Ideas" are eliminated
through education. People are
eliminated through physical death.
More than anything, New Agers respect
displays of power and supernatural
events. It should be pointed out to
them that even if they consider this
G-d of the Jews only an
"idea", it must be one
powerful "Idea" to preserve
a distinct people against impossible
odds and a long line of enemies over
4000 years. It clearly beat anything
the Atlanteans had, since their
civilization collapsed in competition
with it. The New Age shouldn't be so
quick to reject an Idea with that kind
of "vibration level" -
perhaps they should read the Bible for
themselves before rejecting it....
7. Answering the Challenge - Spirit to
Spirit
We need to remember that the New Agers
are the human puppets of an unseen
adversary in this war. The real battle
is actually raging over all our heads;
their gods vs. our G-d.
But calling it a "spiritual"
war does not keep the battle in the
ethereal and abstract realms. As we
have seen, the Hierarchy's Cosmic War
must be anchored on earth, among flesh
and blood people, in order to carry
on. In Biblical accounts of wars
involving Israel, the line between the
spiritual and the physical was usually
a dotted line - crossovers between the
seen and the unseen worlds were taken
as a matter of course. Modern Israelis
are aware of the same porous state
between material and spiritual, again
most noticeable during the many wars
(declared and otherwise) this nation
has sustained in its 53 short years.
Spiritual wars call for spiritual
weapons. According to the Torah, G-d
Himself is both shield and sword for
Israel (Deuteronomy 33:29). In the
Prophets, we see the valiant warrior
Gideon launching his attack on the
Midianites with a dual arsenal:
"a sword for the L-rd and for
Gideon!" (Judges 7:20) The
servants of G-d are given words which
function as effectively as a
"sharp sword". (Isaiah 49:2)
Specifically, the very words of the
Prophets are weapons which can cut an
adversary of G-d to bits (Hosea 6:5).
For this reason alone, every Jew who
takes a stand against the NA threat
ought to become adept at finding the
right words in the Prophets for each
situation.
Build your expertise in handling these
powerful spiritual weapons. How does
such a weapon work? Simpler than you
think. Do as the prophets themselves
did: speak the appropriate words of
G-d to whoever needs to hear them,
human or spirit. (Be prepared for
possible confrontations with hostile
spirit guides.) G-d will see to the
rest, including guidance on what
physical steps should be taken.
(Naturally, one can't really do this
if one lacks the faith to deal with
unseen realities. The first step may
be to study the examples of those who
did have such faith, namely the
prophets, judges and righteous kings
of Israel.)
Two of my favorite personal weapons:
The first is addressed to the NA
Hierarchy and their servants - Isaiah
8:9-14 (with various possible
translations from the literal Hebrew).
Its relevance will intrigue readers
who have stayed with me through the
entire series:
Rage, you peoples, and be shattered;
and give ear, all remote places of the
earth. Gird yourselves, and you will
be shattered; gird yourselves, and you
will be shattered. Take counsel with
advice [or, as in some translations,
devise a Plan], but it will come to
nothing; speak the word, but it will
not stand, for G-d is with us.
For thus the L-rd spoke to me with a
strong hand and disciplined me from
walking in the way of this people,
saying: "You are not to say, A
conspiracy! to all that this people
say is a conspiracy [literally,
Connection! to all which this people
say is interconnected], and you shall
not fear their fear or be afraid of it
[esteem it/him]. It is the L-rd of
Hosts whom you should regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear, and He
shall be your dread [or, high esteem].
Then He will become a
sanctuary...."
The second one - Isaiah 60:1-2 - is
dedicated to the Jewish people, who
are not going to be left in the dark
when the Age of Aquarius descends on
this planet:
Arise, shine; for your Light has come,
the glory of the L-rd has risen upon
you.
Behold, darkness will cover [the]
earth, and deep darkness [the]
nations.
And on you the L-rd will rise, and on
you His glory will be seen.
