NEW AGE YOGA PHILOSOPHY OF MAN IS GOD - REFUTED
ALL IS GOD. New agers believe in pantheism, which means ALL IS GOD. Pantheism is non-proclaimable because of its very nature. If all are gods, one god need not enlighten another god. Hence the CREATOR-CREATION DISTINCTION IS ELIMINATED. Thus they attempt to fabricate a divinity for humanity and ELEVATE MAN TO THE STATUS OF GOD. It is nothing but his last ditch effort to “be like God”. There is emphasis on the self evolution and divinity of the cosmos. They generate an aura of holiness and godliness around the concept of cosmos and project it as the ultimate locus of meaning. There is no God apart from the cosmos. COSMOS ITSELF IS GOD. There is nothing but God. It causes an ecological or environmental theology. (Worshipping the creature - Rom 1:25; God’s creation was so marvelous that man thought the creation itself is God). According to their diagnosis the reason for man’s alienation is his alienation from the nature and the attempt to degrade the environment. Environment is an important item in their agenda and they give HIGH REGARD FOR ANIMAL WORLD AND ENVIRONMENT. The environmental debate is assuming a pseudo-religious tone. Hence SALVATION IS SELF-REALIZATION accomplished by experiencing oneness with the cosmos, especially the Earth. Activities for environmental protection and ecological redemption are the means for salvation. Hence they ascribe high value for things that are practical and pragmatic and urge the improvement of the world here and now. Death is viewed as the point when the individual becomes totally integrated with the cosmos-god. Thus they practically end up in the EARTH-GODDESS WORSHIP.
MAN IS GOD. MAN IS GOD IN PANTHEISM AND EASTERN MYSTICISM. According to PANTHEISM there is only one person in the universe. Everything is a manifestation of him. Hence nothing but God exists. God made everything out of himself and everything contains parts of God. Humanity will merge into God. Each will realize his own godhood. See ourselves as gods in human form. All are incarnations of deity, just as Jesus. No need of seeking the will of God. Just find out your own will. If you want to see God look at the mirror. We perceive something as evil and devil because of the weakness of our perception. EASTERN MYSTICISM provides the psychological and spiritual TECHNIQUES necessary for EXPERIENCING ONESELF AS GOD by manipulating one’s states of consciousness. This can be accomplished through various meditation techniques of yoga or through drugs. Thus many have become convinced that they are gods. They believe for salvation one should look to oneself and not to God. The New Age world view includes within itself various religious groups. The unifying message of the movement is that ALL IS ONE AND ALL IS GOD. Unqualified acceptance of MONISM AND PANTHEISM determines their whole belief system. Since all is one and all is god, man is god. They think that some fail to understand this only because of their ignorance. Hence there is urgency of universal consciousness. The purpose of human life is to RECOVER THIS GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS and god-licensees. The existence of God apart from the individual is rejected. It also rejects atheism. MAN IS RECOGNIZED AS GOD. It considers the HUMAN SELF AS THE CREATOR of the universe and that the universe exists only in the human mind. Hence I am self sufficient and the right spirituality for me is self-realization. It is a deliberate rejection of reason in the hope of attaining truth. It is making the mind empty, content less, and losing the self. Thus by rejecting the realm of reason they tried on the spiritual realms attempting to contact spirits. This will pave way for spirits to take over. It DISSOLVES THE PERSONAL SELF INTO THE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS DENIAL OF INDIVIDUALITY AND ESCAPISM. This neo-paganism emphasizes and promotes the absolute dictatorship of the self. One is encouraged to AUTHENTICATE WHAT ONE FEELS TO BE RIGHT. Authority of doctrines and scriptures is out rightly rejected. It rejects Christianity and the Bible and denies the deity of Christ.
HUMANITY IS GOD. The New Age Movement promotes the false idea that MAN IS GOD or at least that he can become like God. It comes to the conclusion that all are gods. Divinity of each person is emphasized. They believe that GOD IS NEITHER OUTSIDE NOR INSIDE THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT THE INDIVIDUAL HIMSELF IS A GOD. They believe that man has infinite potentialities within himself. The concept of sin and depravity of man are totally rejected. There is the replacement of prayer with mediation which concentrates on one’s own essence. New Age philosophy advocates that you are a god and therefore you don’t need salvation; sin is not a problem and therefore there is no need of repentance. You have to just turn off your mind and attune it to the cosmic consciousness. THIS IS WHAT SATAN SAID “You shall be like god”. This is the attempt to be your own god, to determine your own destiny, to be independent of God, to rebel against God. Hence SELF-WORSHIP in various forms is emphasized and promoted. It believes that man has only to search WITHIN HIMSELF TO DISCOVER THE TRUE SELF which is god and that all men can achieve godhead. This is also the underlying BELIEF OF ALL CULTS. They are all variations of the BIG LIE. Their belief that man is the incarnation of deity, is the same lie said by Satan to Eve. It is only a deception of devil to spoil man's relationship with God with a lie that, "you will be like God". The counterfeit spiritual movement promotes the false idea that man is God or at least that he can become like God. At last he DEVELOPS A GOD-COMPLEX and considers himself as god and behaves like a petty god. The consequent DEFEAT OF MORALITY AND VALUES have led to spiritual perversions. Satan tempts man to be a god unto himself, by his own strength. In the kingdom of Satan rebellion against God and self-assertion are the basic principles. All is one and GOD IS ALL. People see the same reality in different ways. It teaches that there is one god and all religious roads lead to him. According to it everything is God, including man. God is the impersonal reality or force of the universe. But if all men are really gods as they presume why do they need revelation and channeling through spirits? Hence their entire spirituality involves an inherent contradiction.
MAN IS NOT GOD. The fact is that unlike God, man is limited in knowledge, is weak, has a beginning, cannot be omnipresent, heart is wicked and has propensity to do evil. Nothing that is good lies in man (Rom 7:18). Such beings in and of themselves do not have the dignity and worth of God. The SELF-DEIFICATION OF MAN CANNOT HAVE A HAPPY END. E.g. Herod (Acts 12:21-23). The right attitude of man should be that of Paul and Barnabas, distinguishing Creator from the creation (Acts 14:14-15). “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth” (Ex 20:2-4). Since everyone is god, EVERYONE IS RIGHT; NOTHING IS WRONG. There are no moral and absolute truths. Intolerance is the only unforgivable sin. Each one can create his own ‘absolute truth’ by exercising his own ‘sovereign will’. Self-deification of man is the CLIMAX OF THE ARROGANCE AND PRIDE of human heart. But only when man becomes humble and acknowledges that he is a SINNER AND WITHOUT CHRIST HE IS LOST forever, he cannot be even saved, much less being God. “God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble” (James 4:6). CHANGING CONSCIOUSNESS FOR SELF REALIZATION TO BECOME GOD IS SELF DECEPTION. They emphasize on the universal consciousness of all people based on the principle of divinity of all. They believe that God is neither outside nor inside the individual, but the INDIVIDUAL HIMSELF IS A GOD. They believe that man has infinite potentialities within himself. The coming NEW WORLD ORDER will have an underlying spiritual nature. The catch word of its proponents is GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS. They emphasize on the universal consciousness of all people based on the principle of DIVINITY OF ALL. They encourage people to TURN OFF THEIR MIND AND ATTUNE IT TO THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS. This is the attempt to BE YOUR OWN GOD, to determine your own destiny, to be independent of God, to rebel against God. This is the variation of the big lie Satan said “You shall be like god”. They want people to believe that man has INHERENT IN HIMSELF INFINITE POTENTIALITIES. Hence, they think that man has ONLY TO SEARCH WITHIN HIMSELF to discover the true self which is god and that all men can achieve godhead. SELF-REALIZATION IS REALIZING THAT MAN IS GOD. Hence SELF-WORSHIP in various forms is emphasized and promoted. SELF-IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES LIKE MIND POWER AND MEMORY IMPROVEMENT, POSITIVE THINKING, etc. devised by man are nothing but a declaration of man’s independence from God, and expression of his arrogance and pride. His confidence is in himself (Self-confidence), not in God. SELF-HELP AND SELF-REALIZATION are at the core of its teachings. It advocates new revelation and self-enlightenment. They propose a process to recover or attain the Godlikeness and thereby actualize the true, infinite, inherent potential of the person. The person is encouraged to ALTER HIS CONSCIOUSNESS AND RECOGNIZE HIS ONENESS WITH THE UNIVERSAL GOD. This experience is variously KNOWN AS GOD-REALIZATION, SELF-REALIZATION, ENLIGHTENMENT etc. The reincarnation, self-realization or consciousness of the ‘god’ within each man determines his own destiny through self-reform and transformation. Self-realization or “GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS” comes through mind and body control for which TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION, YOGA, CRYSTALS, CHANTING, CREATIVE VISUALIZATION, HYPNOSIS, GURUS etc can be used.
TECHNIQUE OF VISUALIZATION TO BECOME GOD: SHAMEFUL AND DANGEROUS. In VISUALIZATION you make a MENTAL IMAGE which becomes a real IDOL for you. It is using your imagination to convince you that you have what you wanted. The more detailed and powerful the painting of your imagination, the greater the result. In it the REAL IS MADE UNREAL, AND THE UNREAL IS MADE REAL. The world and God are viewed as unreal. It is a peculiar mental state where you assume that YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WILL BE. Mind can create reality through visualization. It is believed that MENTAL ENERGY CAN BE CONVERTED TO MATTER. Hence by visualizing and dreaming powerfully you can create your own future. Anyone who practices it come feel like having godlike powers independent of his creator. Consequently, he falls into the DELUSION THAT HE IS GOD. The power of man’s imagination is being confused with the power of the Holy Spirit. VISUALIZATION IS A COMMON FACTOR IN ALL THE OCCULT PRACTICES. Paganism, occult, sorcery, psychotherapy all are united by the common thread of visualization. Sorcerers believe that visualizing or FORMING A MENTAL IDOL IS BEST WAY TO CONTACT SPIRIT BEINGS. Thought being the fastest, one can transcend time and space instantly. It is the most effective PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY used in modern sorcery. It is used by all sorcerers as the method for CONTACTING THE SPIRITS (DEMONS) for receiving supernatural power. It is done by arousing the power of imagination. They reason: God created the world by the power of his imagination. Man is in God’s class. Hence man can create his own world by the power of his imagination. But the Bible says that the IMAGINATION OF MAN IS EXCEEDINGLY CORRUPT (Gen 6:5). There is no Biblical basis for visualization. Visualization is completely absent from Biblical practices. Only the biblical faith is free from it. The fantasies you get therein are your vision for you. Not God’s vision for you (Jer 23:16). THE UNCONSCIOUS CAN BECOME THE TERRITORY OF DEVIL. The fact is that in the mental activity of imagining, A MYSTERIOUS FORCE IS AT WORK. The desired goal is pictured in your conscious mind. Gradually it is absorbed into the unconscious mind where a mysterious energy is released to get things done. OPENING UP THE UNCONSCIOUS GIVES SPACE FOR DEVIL to work. They have faith in faith. But they have no faith in God. They have faith in the unconscious. The unconscious mind is said to be the stage where the event of CONVERTING THE DESIRES INTO REALITY takes place. The result is based on the depth and power of your imagination, desire and belief, which will set the mysterious principle operative through you. The UNCONSCIOUS BECOMES THE DECISIVE TERRITORY. But entering into this “unconscious” about which you are unconscious is literally JUMPING INTO DARKNESS. There can be even POSSESSION BY THE DEVIL through such therapies. When we respect, succumb, and get involved in the theories and practices which are basically evil and anti-Biblical, we are actually OPENING THE DOORS OF OUR FREEWILL AND THE DEMONS ENTER INTO US. THEY WILL DESTROY US FROM WITHIN. FAITH IN GOD VS VISUALIZATION: THEY ARE OPPOSITES. Believing is SPIRITUAL. Visualizing is MENTAL. Ability to visualize varies and so some will be at disadvantage. Hence that is not the way God made things to be. Wisdom of the world is foolishness to Him. Presence of real belief or FAITH IN GOD INVALIDATES THE NEED OF THIS KIND OF VISUALIZATION. By faith you acknowledge God as he is. In visualization you acknowledge God as you understand him, which is always less than the real God. Hence in visualization they contact either the product of their imagination (idol) or the display of the SPIRIT BEINGS which infiltrate your unconscious (Satanism). MAN’S IMAGINATION IS EVIL. God was not happy that men were going to build a world after their own imagination (Gen 11:1-9). Because they used their creativity in a rebellious way. If man uses his creativity after the imagination of his own heart he will end up in evil. “For the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth” (Gen 8:21). “Heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jer 17:9).
“MAN CAN BECOME GOD” ARGUMENT IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF SATAN. The basic issue in sorcery is the desire of the creatures to act like the creator. Sorcery is nothing but rebellion. Rebellion is sorcery. Rebellion is equal to sorcery and idolatry (1Sam 15:22-23). The heart of rebellion is disbelief in God and yourself acting like God. Thus, TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD IS THE OPPOSITE OF REBELLION, IDOLATRY AND SORCERY. TRUE WORSHIP IS ACKNOWLEDGING GOD AS GOD AND MAN AS MAN. When God’s position as God is demeaned or when man’s position is lifted up to the level of God, there occurs rebellion, idolatry and sorcery. There are so many ways in which this can be done. The great issue in sorcery is: who is the sovereign - man or God? WHO IS GOD is the main issue. God said I am God. But Satan and man also desired to be Gods and claim to be gods. Wherever the SOVEREIGNTY OF THE CREATOR IS REJECTED and then the created beings, whether satan or man try to usurp the role of God, act as sovereign, that is rebellion and sorcery. SELF WORSHIP is the major religion or obsession of mankind. Today it is becoming the ideology of the masses. There is a single thought, the great lie which set the best of God’s creation against God. It was this thought which caused the fall Lucifer and his angels and also the fall of mankind. This GREAT LIE is the desire to become like God, to become another God, and to overthrow the true God. In the GREAT LIE SATAN’S PHILOSOPHY for man is manifested. Satan through serpent promised them that they would BECOME LIKE GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL. He assured them that death was an illusion – you will NOT SURELY DIE. Thus, the theory of Satan was a direct CONTRADICTION OF WHAT GOD TOLD them. The MAJOR TENETS OF SATAN’S PHILOSOPHY included the points such as: the Word of God cannot be trusted, Man will not die, Man can become God, and that Man evolves into godhood through hidden knowledge. The purpose of satan was TO DISCREDIT GOD, AND TO DECIEVE AND DESTROY MAN (Rev 12:9; Jn 10:10). The origin of the great lie was with the self and pride of Lucifer. See Isa 14:12-14. He had the desire to become God. Upon the foundation of this desire and pride he has DEVISED MANY BELIEF SYSTEMS OR RELIGIONS, starting with the Adamic religion. He propagates different versions of the basic lie that man can be God. Thinking that MAN IS GOD, will be the greatest of all the deceptions that mankind will ever experience. This will also mark the LOWEST MORAL state of mankind. It will be the GREATEST REBELLION of mankind against God. When they lift themselves up to the level of God, they are NOT ACTUALLY BECOMING GOD. RATHER THEY ARE DEMEANING THE ALMIGHTY GOD TO THE LEVEL OF WRETCHED HUMANS. By making themselves God, they not only demeaned God, but also DEGRADED THEMSELVES. They denied the true God. They made everybody God. It is religious atheism. You call it lie, perversion, subversion, rebellion, deception, or whatever. They all believed a lie because they did not love the truth. Because they did not love the truth God send them a DELUSION that they may believe the lie (2Thes 2:10-11). The Man is god argument is BIGGEST BLUNDER OF MAN. The ultimate theoretical blunder of man is that man is God. The most proud, selfish and ambitious thought man can think is that ‘I am God’. The most evil and attractive thought you can think is that ‘I am God’.
MAN, FANCIES TO BECOME GOD THROUGH EVOLUTION AND SELF REALIZATION. Evolution is not a new idea originated by Darwin. It is the oldest religious CONCEPT OF MAN EVOLVING INTO GODHOOD. God is the goal of evolution. Any kind of evolution could be in some way deeply connected with the idea that you will be like God. The theories of evolution and infinite amount of potentialities inherent in man led to the DENIAL OF THE CREATOR GOD and the belief that man can gradually become God. DARWIN’S EVOLUTION AND JUNG’S COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS together makes possible the theoretical platform ready for our godhood. But the fact is that the true miracles of God happen instantly, not as a result of evolution. Example is the case of Creation. EVOLUTION IS SIGN OF WEAKNESS. It is a great lie and waste in history. The reason why people believe in the theory of evolution is not because evolution is credible, but because they don’t want to believe in the creator God. BELIEF IN EVOLUTION PRESUPPOSES, FAITH IN A FORCE or superior principle, which lawfully guide the evolution. But the evolutionists do not recognize the agency as God. Some psychiatrists believe in the theory of REINCARNATION based on the evidences from their patients who were subjected to HYPNOTIC REGRESSION. But the validity of such evidences of past lives of patients can never be verified.
MAN’S GOD-BECOMING EFFORTS PROVE THAT MAN IS NOT GOD. But the idea of self-realization or god-realization itself proves that man is not God. “The FACT THAT MAN ‘COMES TO REALIZE’ HE IS GOD PROVES THAT HE IS NOT GOD. If he were God he would never have passed from a state of un-enlightenment to a state of enlightenment as to who he is” (N.L.Geisler and R.M.Brooks, Christianity Under Attack, Dallas, Quest Publications, 1985. P. 43). “God cannot bud. He cannot blossom. God has always been in full bloom. That is, God is and always has been God” (N.L.Geisler and J.Y.Amano, The Reincarnation Sensation, Wheaton, Tyndale House, 1986, p. 18). MODERN MAN IS SHIFTING FROM THE ONE EXTREME OF THE DENIAL OF GOD TO THE OTHER EXTREME EFFORT OF BECOMING GOD HIMSELF. During the Middle Ages MAN HAD A HIGH VIEW OF HIMSELF AND EARTH. But Galileo proved that earth is only a small aspect of the cosmos. Darwin falsely convinced him that man is just an animal. Economists and psychologists (Marx and Freud) further DEGRADED MAN to the level of machines. Sartre boasted that human life is meaningless. HUMANISM WHICH DECLARED THE AUTONOMY OF MAN AND HIS INDEPENDENCE FROM GOD, LED TO DESPAIR. This despair was the platform from which jumped into the New age which PROMISED MAN THAT HE IS GOD HIMSELF. Thus, he moved from one extreme to another. But New age promises that man himself is god and attempts to project human self as the infinite reference point of everything. By turning into oneself through different MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL TECHNIQUES AND DRUGS ONE IS MANIPULATING ONE’S OWN SYSTEM AND OPENS UP ONESELF FOR HARMFUL SPIRIT BEINGS. Ultimately he comes to a pitiable conclusion that man is not even an animal or machine but just an illusion. He writes off not himself, but the whole material universe as ILLUSIONS. What is real is argued into unreal and what is unreal is argued into real. It is the CLIMAX OF ERROR. They fabricate all these false ideas because they are TERRIFIED BY THE IDEA OF THEIR MORTALITY and hence want to falsely convince themselves that somehow they would survive, unconditionally. It all witnesses the failure of secular humanism (which believes that man is the measure of all things) to satisfy the spiritual hunger of man. Their failure is in the DENIAL OF THE AUTHENTIC SOURCE OF MEANING which is God.
MAN IS ACTING AS GOD BY THE POWER OF SATANIC SORCERY. In fact man is not God. Source of man’s psychic powers which give him God-like experiences is Satanic. In fact, man does not have supernatural power in him. If he had godlike powers in him, man would not have believed the promise of devil and fallen. When supernatural powers are displayed in man, this is either by God or by demons. Man is only a channel. The SOURCES OF PSYCHIC POWERS AND TRUE MIRACLES LIE OUTSIDE MAN. E.g. Samson and the demonic of Mk 5: 2-13. Hence whatever psychic powers some people might exhibit, is the activity of the Satan from the unconscious mind of them. DEVIL’S POWER IS EASILY AVAILABLE TO MAN BECAUSE HE DOES NOT DEMAND HOLINESS. But Satan will not acknowledge his role. Satan wants man to believe that all this power comes from man himself. Thus, MAN IS HAPPY IN BEING DECEIVED AND DEVIL IS HAPPY IN DECEIVING. Satan’s weapon is in making man to believe that man in his own right is God. When man believes the lie, Satan gives the necessary mental experiences which will convince man that he is really God. The power of the self increases as is rendered by demons. Miracle is not the criterion of truth. Those who go after miracle and success will eventually approve whatever that works and interpret everything including the Bible accordingly. MAN’S MIND IS ASSUMED TO HAVE INFINITE POTENTIALITIES. The human mind can create its own reality. You can turn your desires into reality by the power of your belief. Thus, when you make a miracle to happen, you are acting as God. You use a POWER which you do not possess legally as God-given. Rather you are getting the power from the enemy of God, SATAN, WHO IS HELPING YOU TO PLAY GOD IN ORDER TO DISCREDIT GOD. Any attempt to manipulate God is sorcery. GOD CANNOT BE MANIPULATED. When you rise up to get something which you cannot get, the enemy will give it you to deceive you. In whatever ways, for whatever purposes, GETTING THE SERVICES OF SATAN IS SORCERY. Sorcerer enters in to TRANCE or altered states of consciousness and CONTACTS THE DEMON SPIRITS and gets power and knowledge from them.
HISTORY OF MAN’S ATTEMPT TO BECOME GOD. ATTEMPT TOWARDS GODHOOD CONTINUES FROM EDEN VIA BABEL TILL ANTICHRIST (GEN 11:1-9). Ever since Satan made his promise to the first woman, Eve in the Garden of Eden, that man can be like God, SATAN WAS CONSPIRING TO MAKE MAN LIKE GOD. The trails of this satanic attempt are visible in the philosophy, science and religion of mankind. By making a man to project himself as God and making all the people of the earth to WORSHIP HIM AS GOD SATAN WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE. By doing all this Satan will once again try to dishonor God by stealing His glory and discredit God, and also deceive mankind. It was TERRIBLE PROJECT undertaken by the most evil being, in the universe. This evil project spanned over the whole of world history. In the course of this project Satan cause unaccountable amount of suffering to mankind and taking innumerable souls to hell with him. After the Babel dispersion, people were all the time attempting to come together on a global basis. Just like the Babel of Gen 11, now people are on their way to make a world of their own design. Their stated purpose is peace, prosperity and love for all mankind. Thus, they often speak about heaven on earth, global village etc. They have the one language of computer-based communication and technology. Man declared independence from God. Man believes he can do anything he wants. They DENY THE REALITY OFFERED BY GOD AND CREATE THEIR OWN REALITY and live in it. This is apostasy. Man believes that he has inherent in infinite potentialities. This MENTALITY OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY EXCLUDES GOD from the realm of his activities. But a plan that excludes God will produce nothing good. And such a plan is innately defective. The WORLD HISTORY IS A GREAT PROJECT which is in the process of completion. The ASSUMPTION that works at the heart of this project is that MAN IS GOD. Methods may include science, religions, cults. Casualties could be wars, disease and poverty. The achievements of science and religion are the proofs given. The evidence may not be credible to the discerning ones but is convincing to the credulous. Many elite groups of people in the world are at work to bring about the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. They are just tools in the hands of the devil deceived them to believe in his lie. The purpose of the Satan is to take over the world.
ANTICHRIST WILL BE THE TRAGIC END OF MANKIND’S DESIRE TO GODHOOD. Antichrist will be the showpiece of all the promises of the new world religion which promises to lead man to godhood. He will be as SHOWCASE OF MAN’S POTENTIAL FOR SELF-REALIZED GODHOOD. He will be the masterpiece of Satan used for validating the lie that man can be like God. For this Satan will empower the man antichrist with great SUPERNATURAL POWERS which are at the disposal of Satan. By seeing the miracles of antichrist, the people of the world will be deceived to believe that he is God. He will be the complete manifestation of the Godhood which every person within the framework of the new world religion hopes to achieve. He will render credibility to the false promises of the cults and gurus of the Eastern mysticism that every person can be a self-realized God. They will also believe that the new world religion of Antichrist will make them also godlike, of which antichrist is the first example and model. Thus all of them will aspire to become God. Beyond that the ego and pride of man cannot go. They will be clearly against accepting the God of the Bible. Because acknowledging the creator God will be equal to admitting the fact of dependence on Him. This demands humility. That is not a comfortable and attractive option for the heart of the proud. BY REJECTING THE TRUE GOD, THEY WILL TRY TO MAKE THEMSELVES GOD. Hence they all will happily welcome antichrist as a hero who made the supreme personal spiritual breakthrough which will have great implications for the progress of mankind. This they will do hoping to learn some techniques from him so that they can also become God. Thus the people of the earth will WORSHIP ANTICHRIST, WITHOUT REALLY THINKING THAT THEY ARE BELIEVING IN LIE AND WORSHIPPING SATAN. IN THIS END-TIME RELIGION ONE MAN - ANTICHRIST WILL PROJECT HIMSELF AS GOD. Satan said, I will make myself like the most-high (Isa 14:14). Antichrist will project himself as God (2Thes 2:4). All the people of earth will worship him (Rev 13:8).
ANTICHRIST WILL BE THE MOST TERRIFYING RELIGIOUS LEADER. The primary identity of antichrist will be that of a religious leader. (Antichrist will of all probability chose to sit on the chair of the MOST PRESTIGIOUS RELIGIOUS LEADER in the world. Guess which will be that chair). World leaders will be politically and economically under his complete command and control. He will be the HEAD OF A NEW ONE WORLD RELIGION of sorcery. Religious amalgamation is to be accomplished through ECUMENISM. A golden future is promised if all people of earth can come together. Antichrist’s globalism will be based on FEAR. Christ’s globalism will be based in love. Any establishment not based on love is a foreshock of antichrist. His peace is destructive. APOSTASY is a major foreshock of antichrist. It is falling away from faith: the denial of the redemption in Jesus Christ. It is to MAKE MAN GOD that this new world religion today concentrates on self-improvement, success-oriented TECHNIQUES WORLD-WIDE. The scientific touch and the associated respectability will make them attractive to the people. The Holistic nature of the New Age movement has already succeeded in giving the fields of education, science, medicine, psychology etc a SPIRITUAL COLOR. Thus the people of the world is being conditioned to accept the religion of antichrist as a religion which is secular, spiritual, scientific and at the same time offering the greatest imaginable scope of ATTAINING GODHOOD FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. Antichrist will offer instant godhood to every person. He will take his seat in the temple of God (2Thes 2:4). Every human being is a potential temple of God. According to the philosophy of Eastern mysticism every person is God. You have to just look within yourself and identify and REALIZE YOUR OWN GODHOOD. The purpose of YOGA is to deeply concentrate on one’s own self to realize the true self which is the higher self which is God. In short it is the TECHNIQUE DECLARING ONESELF TO BE GOD. This Yoga kind of meditation techniques are widely practiced as Transcendental Meditation. These are propagated around the world through business houses, schools, churches, YMCAs, YWCAs etc. Thus people are offered an opportunity to FORETASTE THE PSYCHIC POWERS of which the perfect personification will be antichrist. Thus the world is conditioned to RECEIVE THE FIRST SELF-MADE GOD and the people are excited about the possibility that they too can be Gods like antichrist. Already many GURUS OF THE TRADITION OF THE EASTERN MYSTICISM AROUND THE WORLD ARE BEING WORSHIPPED as God by millions of people. The spread of this tradition of Eastern mysticism will CONDITION THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD TO WORSHIP ANTICHRIST WHO WILL BE A SUPER GURU. Antichrist will claim that he is God. To support his claim he will show many MIRACLES. By seeing such supernatural manifestations the people will believe his claim that he is God. Even now the people are being conditioned to move in this direction of being deceived by believing that the miracles are a sufficient criterion of the truth. BE MODEST: YOU CAN’T BE GOD, BUT CAN BE A CHILD OF GOD.
