I’ve got good news and bad news and good news. First, the good news: GOD IS IN CONTROL! A link to this beautifully encouraging and challenging song was emailed to Jan recently. And we all need this encouragement after being so demoralized in the last week -- not to mention the last couple of years. Our Heavenly Father absolutely knows what is happening to us, and He has it well in hand.Now I’ve got some bad news -- although I have to say I don’t really see it as totally bad news because of my perspective on it: I am convinced we are watching the set-up for what’s known as the Tribulation.
Let me ask you a question: If one were to go about preparing for a world system that would be taken over by someone empowered by Satan, a system that would give this someone complete control of and loyalty from the people of the world, how would he do it? Well, we’re not going to go through all the maneuverings today, but let me give you a little taste and see if anything sounds familiar.
LAY THE FOUNDATION: The most necessary thing would be to lay a satanically inspired foundation for this structure: A broad base upon which this system would be built. Now it just so happens that a woman named Alice Bailey (1880-1949) who founded a publishing company named The Lucifer Publishing Company, communed with a demon known as “The Tibetan.” Through Alice Bailey, “The Tibetan” explained that the world must change. Specifically, he said, “The old established rhythms, inherent in the old forms of religion, of politics, and of the social order, must give place to newer ideals . . . and to the new order.”
In his new, critical book Grave Influence, Brannon Howse gives the background of 21 radicals who have each contributed to society’s transformation process. Of Bailey he says, “Bailey’s worldview and goals have shaped the thinking of many individuals we examine in this book. To fully grasp the worldview war raging among us, we must understand the philosophies of Alice Bailey.” Bailey and her Tibetan friend laid the foundation for this New World Order.
