The Gate of Ishtar Brought To Berlin
During World War I, something quite remarkable happened. Even as the military forces of aggressor Germany were engaged in the trenches against those of France, Britain, and the United States, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany sent a military task force and a team of archaeologists down to Babylon. Their mission was to seize the stones and mosaic tiles that make up the ruined walls of the Gate of Ishtar, the great entrance to the city of ancient Babylon. Successful in this undertaking, Germany’s soldiers brought the ruins back to Berlin where archaeologists reconstructed this tremendous monument. There today it sits in the Pergammon Museum.
Why has the Ishtar gate been restored? Why is it now in a museum in Berlin? The answer is that the fabulous Gate of Ishtar is symbolic of the revival of the Roman Empire, an expansive empire which ruled from Europe to the Middle East and encompassed Berlin, Rome, and Babylon in the days of Caesar. Germany was signaling its intent to revive ancient Rome!
No doubt, Kaiser Wilhelm (the word Kaiser means “Caesar,” or emperor, in the German language) was led by occultic forces. He knew what he was doing. The Gate of Ishtar represents the glory of Babylon as the gateway to world power. Emblazoned on the Ishtar gate are, on the left, the great bull god, the father deity of the Babylonians; and on the right, the dragon. The horns of the bull have for centuries symbolized the devil. And, of course, the book of Revelation pictures the devil as that old dragon and serpent.
Kaiser Wilhelm obviously believed that Germany would gain great occultic powers by having the Gate of Ishtar standing once again in Berlin. He believed that Berlin would be the capitol of the new, revived Holy Roman Empire. This is why the Ishtar gate continues to be on display in Berlin: Germany is the western leg of the astonishing statue pictured in the book of Daniel—the two legged beast. Germany is to share with the restored Babylon of Iraq the newfound glory of olden times.
The Aryan Super-Race—Did it Come From Babylon?
Babylon shares with Germany a number of other curious characteristics as well. The lion was one of the great imperial symbols of Babylon and was adopted as such for Rome by the Roman Caesars. Not surprisingly, Adolf Hitler and his henchmen often conducted occultic ceremonies for the dreaded Gestapo at night with statues of mighty lions prominent on the stage, along with candles and other occultic, symbolic paraphernalia.
I have already noted that each nation, Germany and Babylon, used fiery furnaces to dispose of Jews. Yet another curious connection is the notion of the Aryan super race. Hitler believed that the Aryan race came from the area of Babylon and India (ruled by Babylon) and migrated from there into present-day Germany. He believed that this great Aryan white race was destined to become the Aquarian race of supermen and human deities.
I recently purchased a book from a neo-Nazi group entitled The Endo-Sumerian Seals Deciphered, written by a well-known and respected London anthropologist of his day named L. A. Waddell and published in 1925. This book maintains that there was an Aryan race, and that it originally came from Sumeria and Babylon.
Moreover, in her book, The Initiation of The World, New Age authority Vera Stanley Alder contends that “The vanguard of the Aryan race finally descended from the Gobi desert into India, having come from ancient Atlantis.” According to Alder, the Aryans worshiped the god Agni, known to the Hindus as the fire god. It was to protect and preserve the pure Aryan blood, she writes, that the Hindu god Krishna developed the concept of PART caste systems. Thus, the lower caste in India, being brown, yellow, and colored, were not allowed to intermarry and mix with higher caste Aryans, who were white. From India the Aryan race is said to have moved on into Phoenicia, Greece, Rome, Germany, and into Britain. 5
The late Joseph Campbell, author of a number of books on the mythologies, and a man who became a hero to millions of New Agers and others after being showcased by his good friend Bill Moyers (a CFR member) on a Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television series, affirmed much of what Alder has written. Campbell, who was known to despise Jews and held anti-Semitic views, suggested that the literature of what he called Aryan Greece and Rome is “alive with spiritual meaning.” 6
How interesting that those in today’s neo-Nazi movements, as well as mythologists and New Agers like Joseph Campbell, in one way or another all support the poisonous racial views of Adolf Hitler. Hitler’s conception of the Aryan race is still alive today. It is this Aryan race doctrine that spiritually unites modern-day Babylon with Berlin. In coming years we will see the hideous significance of the Berlin-Babylon connection and we will also discover a growing relationship between the Vatican, as the representative of a new united world faith, and these two capitols of the revived and restored Roman Empire. The Beast that was wounded (Rev. 13:3) is now rapidly being healed.
PART FOUR: EARTH DAYS AND DEVIL NIGHTS
Chapter 14
A Supernatural Faith for the New Millennium
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer... For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will be like the Most High. (Isaiah 14:12-15)
It has been thought that the sheep went to heaven and the goats went to hell. It is the other way around... The goats go to heaven... (Djwhal Khul, The Tibetan Master, The Rays and the Initiations)
An acorn planted in the ground, if watered, nurtured and tended, someday becomes a majestic creation: a mighty oak tree offering shade, protection and beauty. Likewise, the seeds of evil, once planted in fertile soil and tended with destructive but powerful fervor, grow into awesome creations: huge, hideous, gnarled monstrosities with rotten, mired roots that are hidden from view, and poisonous fruit that clings seductively to twisted branches.
The evil that evolved into, first, the Mystery Babylon Religion and now, The Order, with its plans for world domination, did not spring forth into fullness all at once as the towering and monstrous creation it is today. Instead, its seed was initially planted millennia ago in the Garden of Eden when Lucifer told Eve the greatest of lies: Eat the forbidden fruit and “ye shall be as gods.” Since that fateful hour, Satan has continuously worked his treachery and deception, culminating today in the insidious ravages of New Age occultism and the last days scheme of The Order.
The poisonous fruit from Satan’s New Age tree are of many shapes, colors, and sizes, and their deadly toxins vary in viscosity and potency. The Plan of Alice Bailey’s Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul, has taken hold of the foul imaginations of The Order. The New Age is the chosen, occultic religion of the men who would rule the world. This is a driven group. Now they work incessantly, pushing The Plan, seducing men and women, and indoctrinating a steadily growing corps of supporters in every field of human endeavor. Tens of millions now profess New Age beliefs and many are proselytizing others. Evangelism is a popular preoccupation of New Age believers.
The Corrupt Objective of the New Age Deceivers
Why is Satan raising up this vast army of New Age spiritual leaders, teachers, and disciples and seeding them in all areas of human effort? Simply stated, his Plan is to remove from this planet every iota of Godly influence. His is a battle for the minds of men, women, and children, who are the pawns in his vile plan, the disposable raw material of conflict as Satan wars against God.
The primary goal, or objective, of Satan is a New Age Kingdom on Planet Earth. At the helm of this Kingdom will be Satan’s “man,” his Antichrist puppet (Revelation 13). This dark Kingdom will be the revival of the Mystery Babylon religion in which the Mother Goddess was adored and worshiped (Revelation 17). Thus, New Age teacher and writer Joshua Halpern assures his readers that:
Soon, very soon, there will be millions of us who are ready to acknowledge our common roots... The day is fast approaching when all of humanity will realize they originate within the Rainbow Mother. By celebrating the return of the Goddess we help usher in the Light of Truth. l
Halpern also rouses his New Age followers to get ready to take action:
&
nbsp; You must join your families into great circles of families. You must get organized and prepare yourselves for the changes that are coming. By the year 2000 the whole planet must be free. All the nations must come into the circle... Mothers and fathers with children by their side will look in the same direction... You are the Children of the Dawn. 2
New Age authorities proclaim that the Piscean Age, the Age of Jesus Christ, is ending, and a glorious new Aquarian Age is dawning. The Christians have reigned for 2000 years, they say; now it’s our turn. The Christian Age is said to be the dark, black ages while the coming New Age is an era of light: Vera Stanley Alder, for example, writes of the “Black Age” of outward ignorance which “has lasted two thousand years.” 3 Now, trumpets Alder, all that is over. Now comes the “Golden Age.” 4
Kai King, publisher of Gabriel’s Horn, a prominent New Age magazine, also writes of the New Age ruled over by God the Mother:
Now as we pass from the Piscean Age we find ourselves in a time when we must express love and the Great Oneness... is pouring down... for those who are experienced and live in the Aquarian Age. The New Age. The age of the extreme influence from God the Mother. 5
Alice Bailey’s demon spirit guide, Djwhal Khul, the Tibetan Master, related to her that the New Age is not only the end of the age of Jesus Christ, it is to be a time when heaven shall come to earth. However, he said, Jesus was wrong about the dividing of the sheep and the goats:
It has been thought that the sheep went to heaven and the goats went to hell. It is the other way around. The goat in Capricorn is the initiate and from a certain esoteric angle the goats do go to heaven because they function in the spiritual kingdom The sheep remain on earth... until they become goats... 6
“Entrance into heaven,” declares Djwhal Khul, “is entrance into the Aquarian Age... and Piscean (Christian) forces will be receding rapidly.” Ruth Montgomery, the psychic known as the Herald of the New Age and author of the bestselling biography of astrologer Jeanne Dixon, concurs. “The earth and her solar system are signaling the end of a grand cycle of the ages,” she writes in her book Aliens Among Us? 7 During this New Age epoch—the New Age—says Montgomery, only humans who are suitable win become as gods. You must possess the higher vibrations of the New Age to survive, she explains. For instance, you must be willing to admit that “You are I AM, the eternal.” 8
Montgomery fails to mention, however, that it is blasphemy to proclaim oneself the great I AM, the eternal. This is the name of the most High God, our Lord and Savior, Prince of Peace, and Avenger of His people. It is His name and His alone.
It is the intermediate goal of the New Age to cause people to rebel against the true God of the Bible and to believe that they are deities. Once Satan has the person in this heretical frame of mind, then the battle is won. The individual will then be called for greater service to the Prince of Darkness. And with a mind clouded and confused, he or she will comply. The individual will have become a member, knowingly or unknowingly, of the Satanic conspiracy.
Exposing Satan’s Divine Plan
The Order’s decades-long drive to induce men to believe in the New Age religion has been supremely successful. This conspiracy has grown so huge that on December 31, 1988, it is estimated that 875 million New Age believers around the globe participated in the colossal event called World Healing Day. Master-minded by the Planetary Commission, an international New Age networking group headquartered in Austin and headed by John Randolph Price, at 12:00 noon Greenwich Mean Time these millions of New Agers visualized and meditated simultaneously, seeking to bring in the New Age Kingdom.
The huge turnout for World Healing Day was not a surprise. Price had told his followers and the leaders of hundreds of other participating New Age organizations that if these millions joined their mind powers collectively in a Global Mind-Link, the world could not only be catapulted into the gloriously radiant and dazzling New Age, but that each participant might well become as a god!
However, while godhood was the carrot, Price also held out a stick. According to Price’s spirit guide (demon), Asher, if the event did not succeed, the spiritual hierarchy in the unseen world would be forced to use more drastic measures to bring in the New Age paradise. Nature will then enter her “cleansing cycle,” warned Asher, and more than two billion people must be destroyed—wiped off the face of the earth.
This is all part of the “Divine Plan,” Asher has confided to Price, a New Age Plan for the salvation of the world. 9 Driven by his demonic guide, John Randolph Price has become one of the greatest proselytizers of The Plan in the world today. Price’s principal contribution to Satan’s Secret Plan is his founding of the Planetary Commission. Jesus Christ gave His followers the Great Commission, commanding them to go forth and preach the gospel to all nations. Today, Satan has his New Age counterfeit, the Planetary Commission, with its mandate for New Age believers to spring into action and smother peoples everywhere with the false gospel capsulized by The Plan.
In his book, The Planetary Commission, John Randolph Price strives to inspire all New Age believers to get in step with The Plan:
For you to be an effective member of the Planetary Commission, you should understand your role in... the Divine Plan Yes, the salvation of the world does depend on you The Divine Plan is the strategy and the blueprint for each individual man and woman, for the entire human race, and for the planet self... 10
Sadly, John Randolph Price and the tens of millions of other New Agers now working feverishly to pollute our minds are simply fulfilling Lucifer’s despicable Plan, a plan of evil that in its visionary form has been in existence for millennia. The prophet Isaiah, over 2000 years ago, unmasked Lucifer’s grandiose scheme to bring his Plan to pass—and Isaiah announced what shall be the ultimate end of the Evil One’s corrupt imaginings:
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the Stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (Isaiah 14:12-15).
While today we are now being taught the lie that positive thinking will bring internal happiness, abundant health and material success, truly it can be said that Satan is the World’s Greatest Positive Thinker. In Isaiah (above), we discover that the devil made five consecutive, positive affirmations (or “positive confessions”). Yet, neither the demented powers resident in the awesome mind of Satan nor the mind power of mere mortals shall prevail over God’s will.
New Age Principles Taught
What has John Randolph Price’s shadowy master Asher revealed to him about the new spiritual principles to be taught in the New Age? Price’s bestselling book, The Planetary Commission, contains several corrupt but revealing guidelines and rules. First, individuals are to “fully awaken” to the divinity within them so... they can function more completely as “illumined ones.” 11 Psychic powers, such as the reading of auras around the bodies, are to be encouraged.
People are also to be taught “our kinship with all life-all nature—the rocks, plants, animals.” In other words, that all is God, that God is an energy force, and not a person. 12
Another New Age principle to be taught is that of group, or collective salvation. God did not die on the cross for your sins, people will be told. New Age doctrine teaches that the “idea” of individual salvation, as taught by traditional Christianity, went out with the ending of the astrological Age of Pisces, the age of Jesus. In the New Age, the era in which man is himself Christ and God, personal salvation is not as important as group and planetary consciousness.
“The time of spiritual growth through spiritual isolation is gone,” Price states. “It went out with the Age of Pisces. In the Aquarian Age, The Age of Spirituality, the emphasis is on... the group” 13
Price’s spirit guide also has given him a spiritual teaching to help people, young and old, identify the Antichrist. The Antichrist, according to the New Age teaching, is not Satan’s man of sin, who comes to take the reigns of government into the last days. Asked, “How do you define the Antichrist,” Price provides this chilling definition:
Any individual or group who denies the divinity of man... The illumined ones have identified this inner adversary as Satan or Lucifer. 14
This sick New Age definition is no doubt resulting in many people disbelieving the Bible’s clear teachings. At the same time, it causes the world to view Christians as the Antichrist, because no Bible-believing Christian believes in the “divinity of man.” There is only one God and one name in heaven and earth identified as divine: Jesus Christ (see Philippians 2:9-11).
Serve the Plan... At Any Cost!
The total devotion New Age leaders pay to The Plan explains why their leaders have been so successful in their untiring offensive. Alice Bailey, one of the most influential New Age leaders of this century, calls for “absorbing devotion to The Plan.” She has said that New Age disciples worldwide must serve The Plan “at any cost.” 15
Bailey also gives us revealing information on who is behind the New Age Plan. She states that shortly a great occultic “World Savior” will burst upon the world scene. 16 He will come, she maintains, to bring “Light and Love and Power and Death.” 17
