“Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in My name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24: 4,5.

“Meant to Be”
Finding the True Christ
In the Time of the Pantheistic Christ

Fatally dangerous, unperceived rip tides are sweeping the unsuspecting masses into the camp of the New Age Christ…

God has His Providence and Satan has his.

In the fearful Post-9-11 religious world, the big push of the lightening train of pantheism is corralling the entire religious world to accept the idea that: “We are all one. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.” –D. Walsch, New Age Leader.

All over Christendom, the lights are going out as the fearful, dreadful darkness of satanic pantheism snuffs out the remaining light of the gospel and Christian civilization. The churches have now moved into the van, into the forefront, of the work of extinguishing the last vestiges of the character of God in the hearts of men, of true faith, of the light of the law and Word of God. The result will be the most terrible tyranny the world has ever known – a tyranny in which all that will not worship the image of the beast will be under the threat of death. (Revelation 13:15)

Just as there was no room at the Inn for Jesus, when He was born, just as he had to make the manger His cradle, and the stall his room, just as he had to flee as a baby for His life, just as He was hunted, despised and rejected of men and crucified on a cruel cross, even so the true Christ today is being driven out of society, out of the hearts of men by the last great, black apostasy. 

However, He must be given an abundant welcome in our hearts. There must be room made for the free play of His principles in the depths of our being. He must find a home in us He must abide with us. 

Extinguishing the Light of Liberty of Conscience

“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of the conscience.” – GC 588

A converted former New Age leader, who was led into New Age, and sustained in New Age, by a continuous series of supernatural ‘meant to be” experiences, is stunned when he reads the dedication page of The Purpose-Driven Life…

Pantheism: From the Greek: Pan = Everything and Everyone; theos = God; thus pantheism, the teaching and concept that God and creation are One, spelled with a capital “O” to signify “god.” Pantheism believes that God is in everything and everyone, the idea that God is Oneness, equivalent to the creation. Pantheism is the omega of apostasy, according to the Spirit of Prophecy. (ISM 197). The Eastern religions are pantheistic. The Jesuits have been studying the pantheism of the Jesuit Teihard de Chardin since the 1950s, and introduced pantheism on a global scale after the Jesuit congregation 31 (1964-1966). This introduction of the blend of pantheism and Marxist ideology is often called the “Hippie Movement.” Marxism and pantheism were blended by Jesuits such as Guiterrez and Boff with Roman Catholic theology to form Liberation Theology, called ‘the Social Gospel” in North America. Robert Schuller, of the Crystal Cathedral, has been promoting New Age concepts for decades. Now his student, Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, is mainstreaming Schuller’s New Age concepts to the masses.

The greatest delusion that the world has ever faced is breaking over us. Hardly anyone realizes that the Robert Schuller “New Reformation” of “self esteem” of the 1980s that swept all the denominations, including the Structure, is the bridge to acceptance of the New Age Christ…

Many Voices Crying, “Lo, Here is Christ…”

“After the truth has been proclaimed as a witness to all nations, every conceivable power of evil will be set in operation, and minds will be confused by many voices crying, “Lo, here is the Christ, he is there. This is the truth, I have the message from God, he has sent me with great light.” Then there will be a removing of the landmarks, and an attempt to tear down the pillars of our faith. A more dedicated effort will be made to exalt the false Sabbath, and to cast contempt upon God Himself by supplanting the day he has blessed and sanctified. This false Sabbath is to be enforced by an oppressive law. Satan and his angels are wide-awake, and intensely active, working with energy and perseverance through human instrumentalities to bring about his purpose of obliterating from the minds of men the knowledge of God. However, while Satan works with his lying wonders, the time will be fulfilled foretold in Revelation, and the mighty angel that shall lighten the earth with his glory, will proclaim the fall of Babylon, and call upon God’s people to forsake her.” RH 12-13-92

A Power From Beneath Taking Hold of Minds

“What will be our future destiny no man can know. There is a power that is moving from beneath taking hold of minds. Our assailants are not few; they are legion. It is not an easy thing now to be steadfast and immoveable, and those who heretofore have had a cheap and uncertain experience have very little prospect of holding fast the faith and enduring unto the end. Those only who abide in Christ will prove true and faithful. There is only One whose power can render us steadfast and immovable unto the end.”  1888 Materials, 1624.  

Merging New Age Pantheism and Evangelicalism

American culture was transformed in the late 1960s from a Protestant Culture to a Pantheistic/Marxist Culture by the Jesuit-driven Hippie Movement. For decades, Dr. Robert Schuller of the Crystal Cathedral has been pushing New Age, pantheistic concepts, but now his prize student and former teacher at his center, Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, has introduced his concepts to tens of millions of people globally, mainstreaming Schuller’s concepts into more traditional evangelicalism. Since 9-11 New Age leaders, Schuller, and evangelical leaders such as Pastor Rick Warren and Bruce Wilkinson have been giving fundamentally the same pantheistic message, speaking the same pantheistic language, calling upon people to “transcend” their belief systems, and promoting parallel P.E.A.C.E. Plans to link up “millions of churches” (in Rick Warren’s terms), and change world history forever. 

Pantheism rejects the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan. Pantheism rejects the fall of Satan and the Fall of man. Pantheism is spiritualism that teaches that god is in every person, and every person is divine. Satan taught Eve pantheism at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, when he said, “Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:5.  Pantheism is the dragon power of the threefold union of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. (Revelation 16:13)

God’s Declarations That He Is the Only God: The Texts That Demolish Pantheism

“Thus saith the Lord and King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last, and beside Me there is no God….

“Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.” Isaiah 44: 6,8.

“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me:

“That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:5.

“I am the Lord, and there is none else…there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a savior; there is none beside Me…I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:18, 21, 22-23.

Thus does the transcendent God establish His uniqueness as the only true God, a God Who is above and separate from all creation.

“Worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.” Revelation 14:7.

The First Angel’s Message to Fear God and Worship the Creator is directly designed to defeat pantheism. 

The Sabbath makes clear the Creator-creature distinction:

“The importance of the Sabbath as the memorial of creation is that it keeps ever present the true reason why worship is due to God” – because He is the Creator, and we are His creatures. The Sabbath therefore lies at the very foundation of divine worship, for it teaches this great truth in the most impressive manner, and no other institution does this. This true ground of divine worship, not of that on the seventh day merely, but of all worship, is found in the distinction between the Creator and His creatures. This fact can never become obsolete, and must never be forgotten.” –J.N. Andrews, History of the Sabbath, chapter 27. GC 437, 438 

As the Pantheistic Christ takes over the multitudes, the Vital Truth of the Creator-Creature Distinction, upon which the Sabbath rests, is eliminated. The individual who becomes infected with a state of conscious or unconscious adherence to the Pantheistic Christ is to that degree prepared to accept Satan when he appears as Christ and reject the Sabbath.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but the peace that he comes to bring is repentance from rebellion and sin, crucifixion of self, and union by faith with Him, through His righteousness bringing man back into harmony with God.

Jesus’ Statements Which Utterly Destroy Pantheism

Opposed to the “Oneness,” the “All,” the “All in One” concepts of pantheism, and pantheism’s Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan, Jesus declared,

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

“For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” Matthew 10:34-36.

Jesus, in the everlasting gospel, in the Revelation, and throughout Scripture, teaches that there is a great controversy going on between Christ and Satan, and calls for complete self-surrender to the awesome sovereignty of Christ who is at war with Satan. Nothing and nobody is allowed to interfere in the slightest with the integrity of the union by faith in conviction between the soul and Christ.

“If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14: 26, 27.

“There was war in heaven. Michael and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.

“And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12: 7-9.

“Eye Hath Not Seen, Nor ear Heard”

It is midwinter. The sun is shining brightly. It is a glorious day. I strap on my backpack and head up into the mountains. Up beside the mountain trail I turn aside. The vistas are heavenly. The sunshine is brilliant. Under the powerful, towering, magnificent pines, I pull off my backpack and pull out my pocket Bible.

As I memorize the Word and internalize that Word the Holy Spirit opens it’s meaning to the understanding. As I ponder the depth of meaning of the text in the Spirit, I am captivated by the sunlight glistening of the pine needles of a mighty pine as they dance in the light breeze. The warmth of the afternoon sun heals the body and spirit. The snow-capped peaks make this a heaven on earth. I never want to leave this place.

Jesus Loved the Solitude of the Mountain

In the gospels, over and over again we read of how Jesus turned aside and went up into a mountain to pray. “He loved the solitude of the mountain, where he could hold communion with his Father alone. We read: “And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up in a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.” “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”  “He went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” If Jesus manifested so much earnestness, how much more need for us to wrestle with God, and say, “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” YI2-15-00

Each Quiet Retreat Was a Sacred Temple

“Jesus loved the scenes of nature. To Him each quiet retreat was a sacred temple.” DA 290. There is something so very, very special about turning aside from all else, from all other distractions, and spending time alone with God up in the mountain. It refreshes us incredibly, it fortifies us, it strengthens us, it clears and steadies the mind and heart, and it purifies our purposes. It gives us the absolutely necessary certainty of the knowledge of and union with, God the Father, with Christ, and with the Holy Spirit. There is no substitute for this experience. The fiercer the conflict, the more we need to turn aside, go up into a mountain and pray.

Communion With God is More Important Than Life

Daniel, in Babylon, did not have a mountain nearby, so he did the next best thing. He opened his window toward Jerusalem, according to the 2 Chronicles 6:38 provision in the consecration prayer of Solomon at the Temple dedication, and prayed. Not even the death threat from national law could induce him to change in the slightest detail from his three-time-a-day practice of coming apart to commune with God.   

Only God, the Creator God, can reveal to us Who He is. Only as we secure our personal, individual experience or self-surrender to Him can we enter into any other relationships through Him and His mediation.

The Father Must Draw Us To Christ

“Blessed art thou (your name): for flesh and blood hath not revealed it [that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God] unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 16:17.

“No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be taught of God, Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.” None will ever come to Christ, save those who respond to the drawing of the Father’s love.” DA 387. Responding to the Father’s love is where it all starts. 

The Father draws us to Christ, and Christ reveals to us the Father. “Only through Christ could they receive a knowledge of the Father.” DA 387.

The Holy Spirit Reveals to the Heart Glorious Things of the Depth of God’s Heart

“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

“But God hath revealed unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God…

“…the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2: 9-11.

“Be still, and know that I an God. Psalm 46:10.

He will Speak His Mysteries to Us Personally

Only God can reveal Himself to us. We so very much need to take time to be alone with God, where He can speak His mysteries personally to us. We must be thick with the Almighty.

“If we keep the Lord ever before us, allowing our hearts to go out in thanksgiving and praise to Him, we shall have a continual freshness in our religious life. Our prayers will take the form of a conversation with God, as we would talk with a friend. He will speak His mysteries to us personally. Often there will come to us a sweet joyful sense of the presence of Jesus. Often our hearts will burn within us as He draws nigh to commune with us as He did with Enoch.” CO: 129.

Thick With the Almighty

“God messengers must tarry long with Him, if they would have success in their work. The story is told of an old Lancashire woman who was listening to the reasons that her neighbors gave for their minister’s success. They spoke of hid gifts, of his style of address, of his manners. “Nay,” said the old woman, “I will tell you what it is. Your man is very thick with the Almighty.”

The Secret of Prayer

“When men are as devoted as Elijah was and possess the faith that he had, God will reveal Himself as He did then. When men plead with the Lord as did Jacob, the results that were seen then will again be seen. Power will come from God in answer to the prayer of faith.” GW 15 255.

The Shadow of the Almighty

Now, as never before, we must abide in the shadow of the Almighty. The true fear of the Lord separates a man from the dangerous shoals of unperceived danger that lurk all around. When he is overshadowed by the Most High, the approach of danger can be perceived by the unmatched, superlative warning voice of the Holy Spirit, warning in the Spirit of danger. When that warning is unheeded, when that sense that something is not right is unheeded, the person ventures outside of the protection of the Almighty onto the killing fields of Satanic ground. 

His Righteousness Become Ours By Faith

True discipleship of the true, Biblical Christ means that we have a union with Christ by faith so tight, so faithful, so one with Him, that His righteousness, His character, becomes our character. This is the only character that God will acknowledge of having value.

The One Enduring Union

This character is built up on Christ, in Christ, with a surrendered will to Christ by faith-a union that transcends all other unions.

“A union with Christ by living faith is enduring; every other union must perish. Christ first chose us, paying an infinite price for our redemption; and the true believer chooses Christ as first and last and best in everything. However, this union costs us something. It is a union of utter dependence, to be entered into by a proud being. All who form this union must feel their need of the atoning blood of Christ. They must have change of heart. They must submit their own will to the will of God. There will be a struggle with outward and internal obstacles. There must be a painful work of detachment, as well as a work of attachment. Pride, selfishness, vanity, worldliness – sin in all its forms – must be overcome, if we would have union with Christ. The reason why many find the Christian life so deplorably hard, why they are so fickle, so variable, is, they try to attach themselves from these cherished idols.” MYP 118.

Guard Your Faith

Now, just now, we must be exceedingly careful to keep and guard the orientation of faith with a great focus on the Biblical Christ and all of faith’s reference points in the Word of God. The constant and powerful effect of the pantheism in the culture and churches that surround us is to erode away all of these reference points of faith. It has now happened in culture and in the churches. It must not happen in our souls. We must know where the Rock Christ Jesus is, we must hunt for the Rock, and build upon Him alone, for all else is being swept away in the storm.

Dwell Deep – Unfathomable, Unreachable

We must dig deep, and dwell deep. (Jeremiah 49: 8, 30). “Cause to make deep, unfathomable, unreachable, be profound, make strong, powerful the dwelling.” Jeremiah is warning in these verses to flee and dwell deep for shelter from judgment In verse 8 Jeremiah is warning “the Dedanites, who caravans march in peace through Edom,…to flee and hide themselves in deeply concealed hiding places in order to escape the evil befalling Edom…withdraw yourselves into deep or hidden, mysterious places where the enemy does not see and discover you.” – Keil & Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament, Jeremiah and Lamentations, vol. 8. Peabody, Ma: Hendrickson Publishers, republished from T&T Clark, Edinburgh 1866-91, in 1996, p. 408.

Self-Abnegation

At the foundation of this character of Christ in the heart is self-abnegation, the negation of self. This is the opposite of the Robert Schuller ‘self-esteem” New Reformation” that swept the churches, including the Structure, in the 1980s. Read on, and see how ‘self-esteem” is the bridge to the New Age Christ, who is none other than Satan himself.

All Our Decisions About the Nature of Christ and the Gospel Will Come Home To Us One Day

The day is coming when Satan will appear as Christ. Then all the decisions that we are making now about which Christ we will serve, will come home to roost – at earth’s crisis hour.  

Through This Avenue of Self-Esteem Satan Will Seek to Ensnare the People of God

Years ago the servant of the Lord wrote:

“It is through this avenue of self-esteem and self-sufficiency that Satan will seek to ensnare the people of God.” – RN 6 18-89.

“Pride and self-esteem cannot flourish in the hearts that keep fresh in memory the scenes of Calvary.” LHU 43. 

I Am Crucified With Christ

Paul said, “I die daily.” 1 Corinthians 15:31. Crucifixion of self is the way of the Biblical Christ. “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I [ego in Greek], but Christ lives in me. And [as for] the now –I live in flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 [Greek].

Deny Self

“Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24

Self-denial is the way of the Biblical Christ.

When Apostasy Comes, Wisdom Goes

The apostasy is happening in every aspect of human life today – from the macro scale of global end-time developments to national apostasy that will result in national ruin, to denominational apostasy, the local church and finally personal apostasy. Apostasy is simply “stepping aside” out of the position of full surrender to God and His Word.

God says, I will cause the wisdom of the wise to perish, when a people “draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward me is taught by the percept of men. 

“Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of the wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.” Isaiah 29: 13,14.
