Although the rainbow seems to be only a colored arc of light refracted through raindrops, to both Christians and New Agers it has a deep meaning.

According to the Bible, the rainbow is symbolic of God’s everlasting covenant that he would never again destroy the earth by a flood.

However, the New Age Movement uses rainbows to signify their building of the Rainbow Bridge (antahkarana) between man and Lucifer who, they say, is the over-soul.

New Agers place small rainbow decals on their automobiles and book stores as a signal to others in the Movement. Some people, of course, use the rainbow as a decoration, unaware of the growing popular acceptance of its occult meaning and the hidden dangers.

“It is the contention of this writer that for the first time in history there is a viable movement — the New Age Movement — that truly meets all the scriptural requirements for the antichrist and the political movement that will bring him on the world scene.

“It is further the position of the writer that this most likely is the great apostasy or ‘falling away’ spoken of by the Apostle Paul and that the antichrist’s appearance could be a very real event in our immediate future. ”

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

“For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:1-5, KJV).

Preface

Millions around the globe awoke to a great surprise on April 25, 1982. They opened their newspapers only to be greeted with full-page display ads brazenly proclaiming, “THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE.”

From Rome to Jerusalem, from Kuwait to Karachi and from New York to Los Angeles — in more than 20 major cities — newspaper readers blinked in shocked disbelief as they tried to digest this particular piece of “news” along with their breakfast.

The $500,000-plus ad campaign featured the following copy:

THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH . . . OF HUNGER, INJUSTICE, WAR.

IN ANSWER TO OUR CALL FOR HELP, AS WORLD TEACHER FOR ALL HUMANITY,

THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE.

HOW WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIM?

Look for a modern man concerned with modern problems — political, economic, and social. Since July, 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country. He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word — pointing the way out of our present crisis. We will recognize Him by His extraordinary spiritual potency, the universality of His viewpoint, and His love for all humanity. He comes not to judge but to aid and inspire.

WHO IS THE CHRIST?

Throughout history, humanity’s evolution has been guided by a group of enlightened men, the Masters of Wisdom. They have remained largely in the remote desert and mountain places of earth, working mainly through their disciples who live openly in the world. This message of the Christ’s reappearance has been given primarily by such a disciple trained for his task for over 20 years. At the center of this “Spiritual Hierarchy” stands the World Teacher, LORD MAITREYA, known by Christians as the CHRIST. And as Christians await the Second Coming, so the Jews await the MESSIAH, the Buddhists the FIFTH BUDDHA, the Moslems the IMAM MAHDI, and the Hindus await KRISHNA. These are all names for one individual. His presence in the world guarantees there will be no third World War.

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

“My task will be to show you how to live together peacefully as brothers. This is simpler than you imagine, My friends, for it requires only the acceptance of sharing.

“How can you be content with the modes within which you now live: when millions starve and die in squalor; when the rich parade their wealth before the poor; when each man is his neighbor’s enemy; when no man trusts his brother?

“Allow me to show you the way forward into a simpler life where no man lacks; where no two days are alike; where the Joy of Brotherhood manifests through all men.

“Take your brother’s need as the measure for your action and solve the problems of the world.”

He has not as yet declared His true status, and His location is known to only a very few disciples. One of these has announced that soon the Christ will acknowledge His identity and within the next two months will speak to humanity through a worldwide television and radio broadcast. His message will be heard inwardly, telepathically, by all people in their own language. From that time, with His help, we will build a new world.

WITHOUT SHARING THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE CAN BE NO PEACE; WITHOUT PEACE THERE CAN BE NO FUTURE.

The ads went on to list four information centers strategically scattered about the globe: Amsterdam, London, New York City and North Hollywood, California.

For myself, unfortunately, these ads came as no surprise. In fact they and the vast network of organizations behind them — known collectively as the New Age Movement — had been the source of a near obsession with me for all of the previous year. They should have come as little surprise to most of the Christian community either — had the all-toonumerous clues been observed.

The Age of Aquarius was at last arriving and it meant nothing pretty as far as the Judeo/Christian world was concerned. And that world well needed to be concerned. For sadly, apathy was the order of the day — an apathy that if not soon shaken would result in the New Agers’ long-awaited “New World Order.”

Hiding behind an aura of undeserved respectability, the New Age Movement has managed to actively recruit many unsuspecting Jews and Christians to work for their own destruction.

“THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE” ad campaign was preceded by an incredibly sophisticated public relations campaign including a worldwide speaking tour by one Benjamin Creme — an aging English esotericist who happened to be a disciple of several occult pioneers including Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey. Touring the globe since 1975, Creme had managed to win the support of influentials ranging from U.N. officials through Methodist Ministers; from Belgian nuns through Elizabeth Kubler-Ross; from the Hunger Project through holistic health leaders; and from mind-control trainers and trainees through astrologers. Clearly he was not out there on his own. The man’s audacity was justified by his broad base of support.

Creme’s front organization was the Tara Center — based in New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and London. Spin-off “transmission groups” were left behind in every city where Creme lectured. Even if Tara Center had been the only organization backing the so-called Christ, it might have been a legitimate source of concern. But Tara was’ not the only such organization. Also involved were religious leaders, including many Unity and Unitarian leaders, educators, cooperating New Age networking groups who turn their members out to submit themselves to Creme’s bizarre hypnotic powers, occultists of every shade and description, political activists, opportunists, and those who had a sincere and genuine concern for the world’s poor and labored under the mistaken impression that they were lending their support to a remedy for the world’s numerous wrongs. They were unsuspecting that they were supporting a movement that parallels Nazism in every grotesque detail, including a teaching that a “blood taint” rested on those of Jewish extraction and another being that of a planned new “super-race.”

Many did not know that this movement planned the eventual extermination and replacement of these very peoples they labored to help with a “new root race” and even the violent extermination of themselves should they persist in orthodox religious beliefs. And many, for certain, did not know that they were actively involved in the very same movement that was proud to claim Jim Jones as its own prior to his Guyana murder/ suicide fiasco.

And you may further be certain that many of these sincere but deluded people did not know that they were actively participating in a movement which gives Lucifer the status of a divinity and plans mass planetary Luciferic “initiations” for those wishing to enter this “New Age” alive.

Yet despite the naivete in a movement which traffics in ignorance and despair they were involved. They are often sucked in by good intentions and held in by sophisticated forms of mass hypnosis and mind control. Those participating in Creme’s lecture audiences as well as thousands upon thousands of New Age activities designed to program participants to unquestioningly accept this new “Christ,” were unwitting and unsuspecting victims in the largest, best financed con job this world has ever seen.

I did not discover the New Age Movement after learning of Tara Center and Benjamin Creme. Rather 1 discovered Creme while in the midst of an extensive researching of the intricate but huge New Age Movement — a movement that includes many thousands of organizations networking throughout every corner of our globe with the intent of bringing about a New World Order — an order that writes God out of the picture and deifies Lucifer, I am also not talking about what I found reading between the lines — although some of that, should desirably be done, as well. I am talking about what the leaders of this movement have set forth in cold print.

The danger to both Jews and Christians should not be underestimated. Benjamin Creme’s announcement of “Maitreya the Christ” is the culmination of over 100 years of meticulous planning and labor by those seeking this “Age of Aquarius.” They have garnered the support of some of the most powerful and influential individuals in the world. It is a fact that they will not and cannot be successful until God is ready for prophetic fulfillment. However, if God is ready, are you?

This book sets forth a small portion of my research findings. What will be difficult to fully convey is the sense of mounting horror I found while piecing this multitude of data together. It appears to culminate in a scheme both fulfilling the prophetic requirements for the antichrist as set forth in the Bible, and also matching Nazism down to use of swastikas. Frightening the material is. However, what should be kept in mind by the believer is the much more potent power generously bestowed upon us by our Lord — the latter rains which were to be even more abundant than the former. As Isaiah said, looking towards our own latter days:

“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose,

“It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

“Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

“Say to them that are of a fearful heart. Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you” (Isaiah 35:1-4, KJV).

The purpose of this book is to inform the unsuspecting of the events that may lie immediately ahead and of the persons and organizations helping to manipulate them. More importantly, it is about “strengthening the weak hands and confirming the feeble knees,” with the help of God, so that we “might be counted worthy” to stand the things that must come upon the earth if all is to be fulfilled as written.
