Awakening 2012: The Conservative Veil

The veil of a deceptive system.

Veil - n. - Something that conceals, separates, or screens like a curtain: a veil of secrecy.

There has been a long-time veiled agenda of the Religious Right Wing. While the occult elite control each political party - and both sides of each conflict - they have done this in order to obscure and advance world government.

Illuminism has enlisted dupes and willing agents to assist in the revolution. With the evidence accumulated by researchers from both conservative and liberal camps, it becomes obvious that the future dictatorial leaders are residing in all the political parties. This evil agenda is hidden behind well-known politically-oriented Christians, as well.

 Nazi Family Values

The truth is that Hitler was part of an elaborate scheme that made him appear to be a Christian. He actually hated Christians passionately, but he ran in a political party that supported the return to traditional family values. He rallied political conservatives, and they accepted him with open arms. It was a grand hoax, and only a small minority of the Church could see the truth. The trusting Sheeple that they were, never checked to see if their favorite candidate was telling the truth, or had evil alliances.

The boy next door, clean-cut appearance fooled many. Within the symbolism of the political poster, an eagle hovers against the seeming light of heaven over an idealized Hitler. It parallels the dove descending on Christ when he was baptized by John the Baptist.[2]The position of his clenched fist is one of rebellion and revolution.

Take note of the new Republican National Committee 
and the downward pointing stars.

 Sen. McCain and Sarah Palin were on the family values ticket. McCain was instrumental at writing the newly passed National Defense Authorization Act, which shreds our legal rights.

~Freedom Federation [1]

The Freedom Federation, a network of conservative faith-based organizations, will host its “Awakening 2012″ event in Orlando, featuring a list of Right Wing conservative names as their “invited speakers.”

Presidential candidates Michele Bachmann (who has now dropped out of the race), Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry have been invited to Awakening, which will be held April 19-21, 2012 at Calvary Assembly in Winter Park. According to Freedom Federation's website, Tony Perkins, Cindy Jacobs, Rick Joyner, Don Wildmon, Janet Porter, Richard Land, Vonette Bright, Chuck Colson, Lou Engle, Mike Huckabee, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and two devout Roman Catholics have been invited.


Note the line-up of ecumenical/political figures/Dominionists/false prophets and Knights of Malta members. Each, simply by their attendance, agree with ecumenism, and their undying support of protecting Zionist Israel - a plan of the secret societies.

In part, their unspoken goal is toward the visible unification of the Church at the cost of true doctrine. Unity of the Church has been a longtime goal of the Roman Catholic church and the World and National Council of Churches. These groups have done little to stop the ecumenical blend, and have fully supported the efforts of the Religious Right Wing. Who are these change agents within the Freedom Federation?

    The Mystical Eucharistic Christ

    "For many will come in my name, saying, 
    I am Christ, and will mislead many." Matt. 24:5

    You've heard about the New Age Buddhist Maitreya and the Mahdi of Islam, but now there is another Christ we have to contend with - the Eucharistic Jesus. It's not entirely how it sounds, but it might as well be by the time it all plays out. This is because the Roman Catholic church plans to establish the kingdom of God on earth, like the Dominionists, and win the world to the Catholic Jesus, also known at the Eucharistic Christ. This will all be brought about when the world, including the separated brethren (Protestants), comes under the rule and reign of Rome and the Eucharistic Jesus.

    The Eucharistic Jesus is supposedly Christ's presence that a Roman Catholic priest will summon through the power of transubstantiation, the focal point of the Catholic mass. The transubstantiation, which is a Catholic term for the elements of the Holy Communion, is when the bread and the wine are said to be transformed into the very body and blood of Christ. The presence of Jesus Christ and this experience of Eucharistic adoration is key to the Catholic faith. Transubstantiation is a revered doctrine that has been diligently protected, even unto death of the dissenter, as we saw during the Reformation.

    The pope protects the staff holding the Communion wafer from contact with his hands.
    Roman Catholics believe this holds the body and blood of Jesus, and carries it with reverence.

    Holy Communion: Taking it to the Mystical Level
    In an attempt to bring revival back into the Catholic church, their New Evangelization program is hoping to "rekindle the amazement" of the Eucharist, essentially bringing out the mystical elements of the Eucharist.

    In April 2003, Pope John Paul II initiated the "Year of the Eucharist" as part of his program to bring the world to the Eucharistic Christ. Pope Benedict picked up where Pope John Paul II left off and has suggested that praying to Mary would help "all Christians" draw closer to the Eucharistic Christ.

    Based upon Roger Oakland's research in Faith Undone, the presence of Christ in the Eucharist is essentially the Second Coming of Christ, Catholic style. The Eucharist is a tool that is being used to create unity desired by the Catholic church, since some Catholic priests are sharing the Eucharist with other Christian denominations at events held to create interdenominational dialogue - which would never had been done years ago. The Eucharist is being adopted by the Emergent Church, along with the candles and other elements of Catholic worship. He explains that the Emerging church is being used as bridge that has been established to bring separated brethren back to the Catholic church.

    You may think that the Catholics will need more than Communion to bring separated brethren back to the Catholic church, but when you watch what is occurring at some Roman Catholic churches overseas, you'll see why it's drawing crowds. The Communion wafer mystically turns into blood, as though it were the body and blood of Christ...purely demonic.

    An FYI Bunny Trail
    Helping to pave the way for reunification with the Catholic church, Richard Land and Chuck Colson have been behind the scenes engaging in ecumenical shenanigans. In 1992, both helped to draft a document Evangelicals and Catholics Together. Its purpose was to desensitize Christians into finding common ground and unity with Catholicism, since we serve the same Christ - so they say. But biblical Christians do not serve a Eucharistic Christ, since we know the reality of the Communion wafer.

      
    Enter: Virgin Mary
    In the past decade, Catholics and Muslims alike have been worshiping the apparitions of the Virgin Mary.  The apparitions have become more frequent, and it turns out that there is a reason for these demonic appearances. Not only will it help unite Catholics and Muslims, but the Virgin Mary is viewed as a John the Baptist of sorts. According to Roger Oakland, Mary is preparing the way for the Second Coming. She will play a crucial role in the conversion process that must occur if the world is going to embrace the Eucharistic Reign of Christ. These apparitions have been proclaiming that a new world and era of peace is upon us, and she will usher in the Reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As stated by a Catholic priest, once the world has less sin, which happens to coincide with the separated brethren returning to the Catholic church, Christ will return in His full glory, and it will somehow manifest itself through the Eucharistic Jesus.

    In the following video, you will see how this statue of the Virgin Mary has been affected by the prayers of Catholics. This idol of Our Lady of Sorrows was taped during a procession in southeast Cicily. Notice how her eyes open and close.

    In Closing
    In an attempt to rekindle interest in the Catholic Church, some believe that Catholic parishes have begun to knit contemplative and centering prayer into worship. They got their stamp of approval back in 2002. The Catholic News Service reported, "Just as popes have responded to perilous times in the past, Pope John Paul has urged people to take to prayer, especially a contemplative type of prayer to give hope and strengthen the spirit."

    Why is this type of prayer so important to the Vatican, that they feel they should introduce it to the local churches? Those who practice it believe it is a new way to experience a closer relationship with God. Since contemplative prayer is a mystical experience, the one who practices it ends up believing "all is One" -- only one essence in the universe, everyone and everything being a part of that essence. " This message will help galvanize and lead the reunified Catholic church to accept the New Age Christ. It is a sad fate for those who earnestly desire to know God.

    "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

    Glenn Beck: Propogating Lies about Bonhoeffer


    (Fox News link)

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer has become the hero of many Christians, but it is all based on the spin of Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer is being viewed as a devote Christian, yet he actually held unorthodox views of Christianity. He was one of the fathers of the "death of God" teachings, and he consistently had a low view of the Bible, considering a lot of it as a myth. He denied the deity of Jesus Christ, and did not believe in the resurrection. Bonhoeffer attended a Communist seminary in NY City, and was in on the ground floor of the ecumenical movement.


    Ironically, Metaxas is promoted and endorsed by purpose-driven, seeker-sensitive Rick Warren.  That should tell us something in and of itself!  In the interview with Warren, Metaxas says proudly that Bonhoeffer is a “Barthian,” as if this is a good thing.  Karl Barth was endorsed and promoted by Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII as being as great a theologian as Thomas Aquinas, who was a pagan Catholic that taught mysticism and contemplative prayer.[1]

    An interesting tidbit about Metaxas is that he has aligned himself with the leaders of dominion theology and the prophetic movement. In Rick Joyner's website, there was an ad for a conference held in January 2009 on Kingdom Business. Eric Metaxas was one of the keynote speakers for this conference, along with Lance Wallnau. In his write-up, it states that he has written for Chuck Colson (ecumenism's man of the hour), the New York Times (has for decades had a soft spot for Communism[2]), and Christianity Today (Billy Graham's liberal magazine). 

    Eric Metaxas presently attends Calvary/St. George’s Episcopal Church, which is a member of the Anglican Communion, and he lives in Manhattan, New York. In this interview, he provides his testimony.


    Metaxas essentially hijacked Bonhoeffer, and rewrote him in such a way that he would appeal to today's evangelicals. The question lies with whether he tried to intentionally deceive evangelicals into believing Bonhoeffer was someone he wasn't. Is his book being used by dominionists to help fuel the radicalism needed to pull off the next artificial move of God - and essentially lead the Church back to Rome? We'll have to see how the Metaxas spin will have an affect.

    Christian Socialism and Social Justice

    If you hear the word Christian and the word Socialism in the same sentence, it should rub you the wrong way - if you are a disciple of Jesus Christ. These words are diametrically opposed to one another. It is mixing two completely different world views, and we are dealing with it in the Church today in a big way.

    Christians who approve of socialists principles agree with the idea of stealing, since that is what the redistribution of wealth essentially does. They also believe there is nothing wrong with depending on the state/government for their livelihood, which makes the state their provider, thus making them their god. The bottom line is that socialist values principles intend to destroy Christianity.

    There is something Christianity and Socialism share, and that is caring for the poor and widows. But the Church is not commissioned to fix the problems of the world, as it seems to be eager to do. Those who attempt to do so are doing it under a false premise. The Bible does commission the Church to preach the Gospel to all nations (Mark 16:15). So if part of the Church does participate in work it wasn't called to do, they could be advancing the globalist/socialist agenda. This is especially so if there isn't a proper Gospel presentation, or if the Christian agency is presenting a soft, non-offensive gospel. You may believe my thinking is confused, but hear me out. 

    Textbook Definition of Christian Socialism
    Christian Socialism generally refers to those on the Christian Left whose politics are both Christian and Socialist, and who see these two philosophies as being interrelated. This category can include liberation theology and the doctrine of the Social Gospel.

    The most common religious viewpoint which might be described as "left wing" is social justice, or care for the poor and oppressed. Supporters of this might encourage universal health care, welfare provision, subsidized education, foreign aid, and Affirmative Action for improving the conditions of the disadvantaged. Stemming from egalitarian values, adherents of the Christian Left consider it part of their religious duty to take actions on behalf of the oppressed. As nearly all major religions contain some kind of requirement to help others, social justice has been cited by various religions as in line with their faith.

    The Christian Left holds that social justice renunciation of power, humility, forgiveness, and private observation of prayer (as opposed to publically-mandated prayer), are mandated by the Gospel (Matt. 6:5-6). The Bible accounts of Jesus repeatedly advocating for the poor and outcast over the wealthy, powerful, and religious. The Christian Left maintains that such a stance is relevant and important. Adhering to the standard of "turning the other cheek," which they believe supersedes the Old Testament law of "an eye for an eye," the Christian Left often leans towards pacifism in opposition to policies advancing militarism.

    While non-religious socialists sometimes find support for socialism in the Gospels (for example: Mikhail Gorbachev citing Jesus as "the first socialist)," the Christian Left does not find that socialism alone as an adequate end or means. Christian faith is the core of their belief which in turn demands social justice. [1] 

    Socialism Infiltrates the Church
    Fabian socialists have infiltrated the Church as wolves in sheep's clothing for most of the 19th and 20th century. They wish to advance Marxism and Socialism without being detected as atheistic revolutionary "change agents." They have attempted to subvert Christians by using biblical ideas that actually contradict the Bible.
    It was during this period that many Protestant denominations took on liberal theology, which includes the post-millennial view that Jesus cannot return until mankind has brought justice to the earth by ridding itself of all social evils. Hundreds of educational and Christian institutions were flooded with John D. Rockefeller's socialist money to teach this theological position. The Rockefellers and other powerful "change agents" fueled this movement. 

    This is when the Rochester Theological Seminary gave birth to one of the leading proponents of the social gospel. Rev. Walter Rauschenbusch (1861-1918) was known as “Father of the Social Gospel,” and  the greatest single influence on the life and thought of the American Church in the last 50 years. He felt religion could change the social structure of a society and defeat social injustice. It didn’t seem to bother most Christians to know that Rev. Rauschenbusch admittedly embraced Socialism.  He saw Socialism as the goal, with religion serving as a vehicle toward that goal.[2]

    Rauschenbusch and his Fabian protégé Rev. Harry Ward helped establish the Federal Council of Churches (FCC) in 1908.[3]  Rev. Ward, through his Soviet connections and influential positions, would become the main source of Communist infiltration into the FCC (later renamed National Council of Churches), Christian seminaries, and compassionate unsuspecting pastors and congregations across the country. It was Rev. Ward who also chaired the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and worked with the Y.M.C.A. and the Interchurch World Movement.

    The following is an excerpt from Glenn Beck. He talks about the communist ties to many of these Christian Socialist churches.

    Go and do likewise... 

    Through the socialist infiltration of America, we have seen the U.S. government take over the responsibility for the poor. Since the government has stepped in, the American Church (in general) has backed away from their charitable support of the poor. Over the past 20 years, this trend has begun to change.
    What has begun to occur within the Church now is a deeper transition into good works and taking care of the poor and the world's problems. People like Rick Warren are manipulating the Church to "Go and do likewise" on a grander scale. The UN Millennium Development Goals match the five points in Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan. His plans are to mobilize the American Church internationally to meet the UN goals, and to develop good works. Again, the Church is not commissioned to fix the world's problems. Most of the help they are providing is only a temporary solution.

    Community Outreach vs. International Outreach
    In the video Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger, leading Evangelical Christians spoke against socialistic principles, and their remarks were legitimate. What makes me suspicious about their promotion of charitable work is that some of these individuals are known Freemasons and big interfaith promoters, such as Kay Arthur and Chuck Colson. They have been strongly influenced by the teachings of the late Rousas Rushdoony, a Council for National Policy member and patriarch of the reactionary Christian Reconstructionist (Dominionist) movement which seeks Christian dominion over all aspects of society and the world. The CNP is the Christian version of the Council on Foreign Relations, whose goal it is for world government. 

    Since Kay Arthur and Chuck Colson's natural inclination is towards globalism, it makes me think that they want Christians to do charitable work in foreign lands.  Are they trying to make Christians change the way they view the world? It seems that Chuck Colson and Rick Warren are on the same page, because they wrote a book together, partly on the topic of finding solutions for the world's problems. [4]

    If the globalist/socialist Christians are promoting world mission projects, perhaps we should instead be thinking about community projects. When we take our focus off of our community, are we are actually taking something away from it, making it a little weaker? If we were to build bridges into the lives of the people within our own churches, our neighborhoods, and our cities, so that our own community can grow stronger and help people have fuller lives, would this be a better way of expressing God's love to the world? Our chances of winning the lost to Christ and disciplining them in our own community, assures they have a solid walk with the Lord Jesus. This also builds the mutual responsibility and interdependence that Christians are to have for one other. It is unlike the temporary bandaid Rick Warren has to offer.

    Conclusion
    So as you see, Socialism has two halves of the pie: one half that takes, and the other half that gives. The Christian Socialists are not for the taking aspect, but very big into the giving aspect. They don't always mind that government takes from those who have and gives it to those who don't. The Christian Socialist often tries to get you to look past your own community and think on a global perspective. Most of these same people think little of the ongoing Christian walk of the people they serve.

    I would like to conclude by saying that I believe we have taken Christian outreach far beyond what the Bible ever suggested. Plus, we need to be more careful about where we send our donations. We should be concerned about the position they have on Dominion Theology. Ask yourself if you will be giving toward a project that is a hand-out or a hand-up. Is the project going to offer ongoing discipleship to those people who accepted Christ as Savior, or will they only be a number on a souls saved board? And finally, ask yourself if there is a way you can serve those closest to you who may be in need.

    Remember, Socialism is a step before Communism. I urge you to consider your ways, so that it doesn't assist those who have an agenda.

    Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium


    Well before the Manhattan Declaration took place in 2009, there was another important ecumenical document agreed upon and signed by our countries Christian leadership. It laid the groundwork for Evangelicals to set aside their distinctive doctrines and unite with the Catholic Church and other religions.

    The Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium document was authored and presented in May of 1994 by Charles Colson of Prison Fellowship and Roman Catholic priest, Richard John Neuhaus. In 1993, Chuck Colson was the recipient of the $1,000,000 “Prize for Progress in Religion,” presented annually by New Age financier, John Templeton. 

    Prison Fellowship International boasts of its Special Consultative Status as a non-governmental organization (NGO) of the United Nations. Father Richard Neuhaus is the director of the Institute on Religion and Public Life -- a Roman Catholic priest who, as former Lutheran and a seminary student, rejected the doctrine of justification by faith in Jesus Christ. [1]

    The ECT Document was signed by 20 Catholic leaders and 20 Evangelical leaders including:

    Dr. Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ
    Pat Robertson, President of CBN and member of the CNP
    J. I. Packer of Christianity Today
    Richard Land and Larry Lewis of the Southern Baptist Convention (a denomination controlled by Freemasons) 
    Jesse Miranda of Assemblies of God (which attends ecumenical meetings with the World Council of Churches and Roman Catholic Church) 
    Dr. John White, President of Geneva College and  President of the Board of  Administration of the National Association of Evangelicals (evolved from the Evangelical Alliance formed in 1851 in United Grand Lodge of England)
    Os Guiness, Trinity Forum 
    Dr. Mark Noll, Wheaton College

    Supporters of The Evangelicals and Catholics Together Document maintain that it is not a statement of theological agreement, but of unity for the cause of moral and social reform. For more information on this document, go to their website.

    The Templeton Prize

    In order to accelerate the move toward religious unity, the Parliament of World Religions meets annually to bring the ecumenical community together. One of the highlights is the awarding of the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Valued at $1.2 million, it is the "world's most prestigious and lucrative...ecumenical award." This international prize is bestowed upon the individual perceived to be the most "outstanding" religious figure of the year. The decision on who receives the award is made by a group of interfaith leaders with a distinct one-world vision. Historically, this committee has awarded the prize to individuals who display a strong ecumenical outlook and have a favorable disposition toward the Vatican.

    The million dollar prize has gone to Prison Fellowship Director, Chuck Colson. Other well-known Christian leaders who have received the award include Billy Graham (1982), and Bill Bright of Promise Keepers (1996). [1]It's very likely that each of them are Knights of Malta agents from the Vatican.

    Something you will notice during your visit in the Templeton website is their logo. The exoteric meaning for the symbol is infinity and eternity. To occultists, the esoteric meaning represents Lucifer's eternal victory. It also symbolizes reincarnation and karma. . . It's used in the brimstone symbol and appears at the top of the Nine Satanic Statements." (Dr. Cathy Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, p. 254) .
