The End of the World 
2 Peter 2:1-3 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”

There is no doubt but the world is moving to crisis after crisis. It is amazing and scary to watch and listen to the wicked people. The worst of the wicked will call anyone who opposes their wickedness dark names. If you stand for righteousness, do not respond to the wicked in kind. Our duty is to conduct ourselves in the spirit of gentleness and with soft words. Don’t be a wimp, but be strong with the truth of Holy Scripture.

The End of the World was not a strange term to Jesus Christ and the early church. Secularists of our generation have created a mindset that immediately labels anyone using such terminology as a religious nut. The truth is that there cannot be a Biblical New World Order and the glorious kingdom of Jesus Christ until the present order comes to an end. Therefore, the present world as we know it is going to end and a new world begin. Nothing in Scripture is prophesied more clearly. We must rescue this truth and begin again to preach “The End of the World.” Satan is afraid of such truth and, especially, truth that convicts the unsaved. Without question he is the mastermind behind the silence in the church about impending judgment and the “End of This World.”

Early church preaching rings with the shattering message of judgment and the coming darkness. Peter wrote to the believers among the many churches, “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer” (1 Peter 4:7).

They lived in constant readiness for the kingdom of God to be established and warned that the present world order as they knew it had to end first. Nobody cared too much about worldly goods and building personal empires, for they all knew it could be gone in a moment. Some of them sold everything they had and gave to the kingdom for the good of everyone.

“And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet” (Acts 4:33-37).

It was a mindset unknown to today’s church because they knew this world was going to end. They actually expected it in their lifetime and wanted their riches to be invested in the eternal kingdom. This was the Lord’s intention for His church.

Biblical discipleship will not return to the church until we re-establish the kingdom message. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence” (John 18:36).

This world order has to end for the visible appearance of His kingdom to appear. You cannot mix the old with the new unless the new is spoiled and becomes like the old.  Jesus’ kingdom is presently invisible, a spiritual kingdom in our hearts as we live only for Him, but soon the old will end and His kingdom will begin right here on this earth. He said, “Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). That was not some figurative statement, but a clear promise to His own. We will spend at least seven years in Heaven after the Rapture before we share in Christ’s establishment of His earthly kingdom.

The Signs Are Everywhere: It’s Almost Over

Jesus Christ’s disciples asked Him a three-part question that promoted some of His most incredible teachings on this subject. Let’s look at these three questions. “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”  (Matthew 24:3).

Jesus had warned them of the destruction of the temple and the coming judgment upon Jerusalem. They asked Him about the time of that judgment, but also about His coming again and what they called the end of the world. The first part was fulfilled in AD 70 when the Romans smashed Jerusalem and ended that great city as a Jewish city for nearly 1,900 years. The Jewish people reclaimed the city in 1967 after 1,897 years.

They were very specific in their question about the end of the world, and Jesus gave them a specific answer. Notice that He mentioned the end of the world three times in the next eleven verses or the first part of His answer. After speaking of “wars and rumors of wars,” he said, “but the end is not yet.” Later, He stated, “But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.” He then gave the last of the signs that must occur and stated, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

1 John 4:1-2 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.”

Let me give you the total context of this great reference to the end of the world. Please read it carefully.

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:3-14).

Jesus Taught Powerful Truths About The End

The Rapture of the Bride of Jesus Christ needs no sign for us to expect Him at any moment, but there is a multitude of signs that relate to the end of this wicked world order ruled over by the devil. Satan has never been very smart, and a Bible student can easily detect His masteries of lies.

The environmental movement of the world has affected a large portion of churches, and many professing Christians have become wild-eyed environmentalists. Many Pentecostal/Charismatic churches are now full-blown “dominion theology” believers working to establish what they believe is the kingdom of God on the earth. The Book of Revelation is rejected by this crowd as a literal book of the prophetic future because they see it as “doom and gloom.” Terrible disappointment is just ahead for anyone who has rejected the “end of the world” truths that represent such a clear message in the Holy Bible. This world order is going to crash, and the sounds of that crash will echo to the Heavens.

Look at some of the signs Jesus gave in the Matthew 24 teachings we just shared in this article:

• “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Never has there been more false teachings and doctrines flooding the religious world. Many believers have rejected the Bible as the final word on all truth, and now they are extremely vulnerable.
• “For many shall come in My name, saying, ‘I am Christ’; and shall deceive many.” The new generation of deceivers is quick to fill their dark teaching with a sprinkling of Jesus’ name and some of His wonderful truths. Then they mix in their false ideas that destroy and deceive. Nothing is more dangerous than a mixture. It is even worse than total error.
• “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.” Our globe is a powder keg of fighting, massacre, and civil wars. We have seen so much carnage on the news that it barely gets our attention. India’s recent explosion of five different nuclear devices is an excellent measure of the state of world tension. Many noted world analysts are predicting a nuclear war in the Middle East at any moment.
• “Famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.” The record number of these kinds of death-dealing events is no longer a question. Tens of thousands are dying from famine and pestilence. Africa is facing a plaque of the AIDS virus that will certainly continue to spread on a worldwide scale. AIDS, along with many other fatal diseases, fits perfectly the Biblical warning of pestilences.
• Jesus paused at the end of verse six to warn that the end is not yet. After verse seven, He stated, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Everything Jesus stated in verses four through seven has been evidenced to some degree from the time of the early church. Then He describes additional signs that are more pronounced today than ever in church history.
• “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you.” Our congress has been debating a “Christian Persecution” measure for months because of worldwide persecution of Christians. Right here in America there is a dedicated effort to stop every public reflection of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Hornets basketball team in our city of Charlotte has prayer before each game, but refuses to allow anyone to participate unless they agree not to use the name of Jesus in the prayer. Our city council and county commissioners have faced a constant barrage of evil persons determined to stop prayer in Jesus’ name. There is a worldwide spirit of evil hatred against the power and person of Jesus Christ unknown in world history.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

“And ye shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake.” This verse of Scripture must be seen in a double sense. It relates to the Christians because Jesus was talking about believers and to the believers, but He was also talking to Jewish believers. The hatred of Bible-believing Christians is no less pronounced than the hatred of Jewish people.

The anti-Semitism that is reflected in the Arab world is more understandable than the anti-Semitism in religious people. There are whole ministries that operate on their hatred of Jewish people. There is not a more diabolical expression than that which motivates “hatred of Israel.” Sure, the Jews as a nation are still in unbelief and are indeed enemies for the gospel’s sake. Their unbelief has blinded their eyes to the gospel, but the Scripture clearly warns us to be free of pride and to expect “all Israel to be saved.”

I believe we are seeing the final expression of hatred for the Jews that will usher in the Antichrist’s reign. The same Hornets basketball team here in Charlotte that forbids prayer in Jesus’ name also forbids anyone praying in Hebrew. Those were the only two restrictions. That would be odd indeed if you did not understand this great teaching of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24. Notice those words again: “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matthew 24:9).

Of all the religions in the world, the only two to be forbidden in the prayer were the two ideas of fundamental Christianity and fundamental Judaism. The only friend Israel has at the United Nations is the United States of America. [With a change of administration] this Scripture could be perfectly fulfilled, if we could not already count it fulfilled.

• “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” This verse speaks specifically of men and women who call themselves apostles, prophets, etc. Our world is suddenly, in the last 10 years mainly, being inundated with so-called prophets and apostles. From what was called the “Kansas City Prophets,” we now have thousands spreading religious viruses throughout the church. Any man or woman that calls themself or allows others to introduce them as a prophet or a prophetess is dangerous.
• The Lord has always had prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, and miracle workers in His church, but they were men who rejected such titles lest they gather to themselves honor that belongs only to the Lord. We are all servants and, whatever our calling may be, we have no right to exalt ourselves so that we can then demand an audience of the people. The Lord Himself exalts and debases and we give Him alone the glory. Flee for your life when someone calls themself a prophet or an apostle. They certainly fit this Scripture perfectly.
• “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” This speaks specifically of the great apostasy that we are experiencing at this very moment. “Iniquity” – or a better word is “lawlessness” – perfectly describes the present church world. The church is full of men and women who believe they are a law unto themselves and will not listen to the “unaltering truth of Holy Scripture.” You can quote the words of God that demand separation and holiness, and the people will simply say, “I’m not convicted of that,” and they believe that settles it.

This very term “iniquity/lawlessness” is a profound image of today’s church world; and because of this lawlessness “the love of many shall wax cold.” You cannot be ready for His return and the end until your will is totally surrendered to His perfect will as revealed in the Bible. If there is an ounce of “lawlessness” in you, then you must find the mourners’ bench of repentance and confess it to the King.

• “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” It is very evident that the Lord Jesus knew the struggle of the righteous in the times right before the end. Seven times the same idea was recounted to the church in Revelation two and three. “To him that overcometh,” etc., was the closing promise to all seven churches representing the church period or dispensation. The apostasy of this hour has convinced a multitude of church members to ignore the Scriptures that teach total discipleship and complete separation from the world. There are going to be some angry church members and children of compromising churches and families when they suddenly realize they have missed the Rapture and are being thrust into the Tribulation.
• “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” It is a testimony to the mercy of God that the last sign and action that He has determined before the end is the preaching of His kingdom. If you are a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, then do not fear that the devil can stop you from proclaiming the truth of the gospel. It is thrilling to me to know that our God will protect the true messengers right down to the moment of the Rapture and the beginning of the end. The last sign before the end is a man of God in the pulpit telling the lost how to be saved.

Luke 21:34-35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”

Jesus Was Not Embarrassed To Talk About The End of the World

If Jesus was willing to freely speak of the end of this age and the final judgment of a wicked world, why should we not speak freely about the same? It is unbelievable how utterly lost is this incredible message to our sin-sick world. Hope is quickly vanishing from the political world. Military experts speak of inevitable conflicts and impending dangers. The secular media is more willing to talk about the hopeless future than the church.

We must show the world that the end of this age is at hand. No, we should not set dates or try to scare people for the sake of its effect on their spiritual commitment. But, we must preach the whole Word of God, including eternal damnation and the coming judgment of God. God can no more ignore the plague of sin that grips this world than He ignored it in Biblical history. Sin always has consequences, and to preach otherwise is to be a false prophet. This is not a message of doom; it is a message of hope.

The End Is Just the Beginning

The “New World Order” that the devil’s crowd has fostered is a masquerade and imitation of the real. The real “New World Order” is the Biblical kingdom of Jesus Christ. That kingdom cannot mix with a world ruled by greed, love of money, and love of pleasure. Every principle of this present world order must be judged and eliminated. Then He will establish His kingdom to last forever.

Daniel saw this heavenly kingdom established without human hands. Listen to his description from the vision of Nebuchadnezzar which was from the Lord:

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure” (Daniel 2:44-45).

No human hands, no “Kingdom Dominion” preachers, no post millennialist will help establish this kingdom. It will be the supernatural hand of the great God and His Son, Jesus Christ. The most mindless idea I have ever heard from a religious source is the new doctrine of a manmade kingdom. The new kingdom must be established and ruled by the King of kings.

The end of the present world order is the beginning of the glory of this kingdom. After one thousand years of His physical reign in Jerusalem, the new Heaven and the new earth will be manifest to the world. John clearly shows that the old must end for the new to begin.

He stated, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:1-3).

The truth about the end of the world is one of the most glorious messages in Holy Scripture. Let’s tell the world about it!

 

The Democrats Want to Keep God from Your Children

Psalm 14:2-4 “The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.”

The fight over the Supreme Court is a fight to keep God out of public schools. It was these liberals that decreed years ago that God had to be removed from public education. How stupid can you get? Children educated to believe we came from monkeys will give us what we presently have. The Creator created us to be answerable to Him. He is God, sovereign and lofty. He inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15).

Liberal educators have turned this present generation into radicals who have no awareness of a sovereign God. I have written this article in my effort to call us back to God. It is the only hope for a sensible return to a civilized world.

The “New Age Elite,” who are preparing for the forthcoming “New World Order,” are busy changing America’s schools and maybe your child’s life. There are several key targets of these “change agents” (their own wording), and public education is a top priority. The environmental, religious, and media organizations are also special targets for their influences. They are changing America at a breathtaking pace. Here are two examples of the work of these “change agents.”

A book entitled “Becoming A Master Student” gave the following advice:

“‘You create it all’ means just what it says. Nothing in the world exists at all except as you create it in your head. You create everything. You are 100% responsible for your job. You create all the lectures you attend, you create your textbooks, and you create your instructors, classrooms, and classmates. You create the campus and the town that it is in. You create your relatives and you create your grades. Your creations don’t stop there. All those things that you are absolutely certain you do not control — the weather, wars, world hunger, the planets — you create those, too.”

The late Beverly Galyean developed three federally funded educational programs for the Los Angeles Public Schools using meditation and guided imagery. She gives the following description of her beliefs and philosophy:

“Once we begin to see that we are all God, that we have the attributes of God, then I think the whole purpose of human life is to re-own the God-likeness within us: the perfect love, the perfect wisdom, the perfect understanding, the perfect intelligence; and when we do that, we create back to that old, the essential oneness which is consciousness.”

Thousands of public school administrators, teachers, and counselors, plus many in religious schools have become “change agents” for the New World Order. They are violating the rights of millions of students and parents in this nation. Many good, honest teachers and counselors have been brainwashed without knowing it and are busy doing the enemy’s work. Unless there is a revolution of wise parental involvement, the end results of the present educational reform will be worse than the last.

Supreme Court Decreed Our Schools Godless In 1962

In 1962, the Supreme Court of this nation decreed that our public schools must operate as Godless institutions. Prayer in any Judeo-Christian design was declared unlawful. This was a sudden change from the strong Christian emphasis of the past.

American history is interwoven with the faith of the Holy Bible. Gary DeMar, in his book “God And Government” noted the following facts:

“In 1892 the United States Supreme Court made an exhaustive study of the supposed connection between Christianity and the government of the United States. After reviewing hundreds of volumes of historical documents, the Court asserted, ‘These references…add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a religious people…a Christian nation.’ Likewise, in 1931, Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland reviewed the 1892 decision in reference to another case and reiterated that ‘Americans are a Christian people.’ And in 1952, Justice William O. Douglas affirmed that ‘we are a religious people and our institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.’”

George Washington, our first president, warned America of what Godlessness in the public arena would do. These words were part of his farewell address as he concluded eight years in the White House:

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports… And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion… reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.”

The decision to remove prayer actually began on June 25, 1962. In a Supreme Court decision, Eagel v. Vitale, they overturned the ruling of all lower courts and appeals courts and effectively outlawed a simple prayer in a public school. This nation immediately started down the road of swift decay.

Let’s look at a few statistics of what immediately happened. In 1962, the SAT total scores of American students stood at an average of 980 points. By 1980, that average had fallen to 890. This decline averaged approximately 5 percentage points each year for 18 years. It had been basically stable for the previous 10 years before 1962 and improved slightly after 1980.

Morality took a nosedive. Aged 15 female students had a 4.6 percentage rate of premarital sexual activity in 1962. In 20 years, there was a 200 percent increase; and since 1982, it has multiplied far beyond those figures. Older females experienced an even greater decline of morals. The following statistics are for ages 16 through 18 in the same timeframe: Age 16: 7.1% to 23.1%. Age 17: 13.2% to 34.8%. Age 18: 22.6% to 54.0%.

Birth rates for unwed mothers soared, abortions escalated, sexually transmitted diseases for children and teenagers exploded, and suicide rates went out the ceiling. In 1962, there were approximately 350 cases of gonorrhea in teenagers per 100,000 total teen population. By 1985, these cases had increased to 1,175 per 100,000.  The rate of gonorrhea in children (age 10-14) increased over 200% in that same timeframe.

The liberal American educators and judges should be hauled into court for what they have done to the children of this nation. They are nothing less than criminals who have cost our nation billions in lost revenues and taxes for these failed programs. They have cost American parents billions in subsidizing the broken lives of their children, not counting the damage to these young people themselves. How can an honest parent, educator, or religious leader not be furious?

Proverbs 4:1-3 “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.”

Present Education Reform

The present education reform is worse than the previous. Now they are purposely using destruction to help them accomplish their desired results. Listen to these words from an article in “Outcomes,” the official publication of “Outcome-Based Education.” This is part of a letter that was sent to Dr. William G. Spady [known as the father of Outcome-Based Education (OBE)] by a friend and comrade in this effort to promote Outcome-Based Education. Dr. Spady first describes the letter:

“The letter does not clarify a vision of what the paradigm may embody but it does clarify the excitement, confusion, ambiguity, fun, and hope that the paradigm generates.”

Note that he admitted the “confusion” and “ambiguity” this reform generated. Now, let’s read the entire letter that Dr. Spady printed in his article. Remember, friends, this is official garbage from their own hands:

“When I heard you (John Hillary) speak two years ago in Des Moines to the Iowa Success Network, your emphasis was on how to construct the product. Last week you talked more about how the curriculum might impact changes in student/teacher behavior. Both times you seemed to be struggling with the difficulty of embracing change, pushing against what is and what might be, sympathetic to why these changes are so difficult to make. I seem to hear you saying two things that I agree with: OBE will never work if it invades the culture of the school, and it will never work if it does not!

I guess our job as a ‘change agent’ is to survive within the ‘confusion we keep promoting’ because it might be the most appropriate atmosphere for building consensus. I used to think that changing attitudes would change practices, but I’m convinced that changing practices gets things done. That’s the mix that I think is so critical; embracing contraries without feeling that either must be compromised at the expense of the other; knowing when to push, when to pull, and when to let go; understanding why things don’t get done; and setting the stage for others to do the things they believe are important.

And all the while, it may seem that others are moving at glacier speed while we are holding on for dear life riding this tiger (OBE). I often wonder if others see a different scenario: we are in charge of some carnival ride that they’re forced to take while we sit on the sidelines and turn up the speed of the ride. Funny how different these images are. Others may have a good argument if our only explanation is ‘we’re making things better by making them worse.’ Sometimes I have my doubts. Understanding other perspectives is probably the key to continuing the discussion (and surviving the process!).

A quick fix the OBE paradigm doth not generate!” — excerpt from a letter to Dr. William G. Spady regarding his “Outcome-Based Education” (Special quotations, underlining, and emphasis added.)

New Word In Education: “Paradigm“

No word being used by educators is more revealing than the word “paradigm.” It is a prime New Age word and has been used by the “all is god” crowd for years. They have talked endlessly of a paradigm shift in preparation for the “New World Order” or “Crystal Kingdom” as Jose’ Argulles would call it.  They purposely promote this idea as a mental shift from western to eastern thought or the change from traditional Christianity to eastern mysticism. This idea describes the essence of the New Age Religion.

The National Association of Partners In Education (NAPE) published an article in their newsletter entitled “A Call For A Paradigm Shift.” They clearly described what they mean by this word. Read carefully:

“‘Paradigm’ is a word that has been given a lot of space in the media lately. The distinction that the word ‘paradigm’ refers to has been, for the most part, misunderstood. It has been described as everything from the current ‘buzzword’ to, more generously, ‘a filter through which to look at reality.’ Unfortunately, those descriptions and definitions are superficial and inaccurate, concealing power inherent in paradigms. A paradigm is not a ‘filter,’ but is the fundamental structure of knowing from which reality is constituted. When there is a paradigm shift, the way the world (and ourselves) occurs is altered. When the present paradigm has been fulfilled and used up all the actions to find new, better or different solutions do not make any difference.” — (NAPE, APRIL 1991).

Please note the primary definition of “paradigm” as they described it, “the fundamental structure of knowing from which reality is constituted.” That’s the most honest definition I have read of this word. We are talking about a totally new mindset or mental concept of the realities of life. No longer are we to think of the fixed truths and values at the very heart of western civilization, but we are to move to a new evolution of created realities.

In our American past, inventions and new vistas were discovered and formed out of existing truths and by scientific facts of discovery. Everything had a firm foundation. Now our New Age Educators want to move us into a fantasy world we create with our minds. It’s all an illusion of eastern mysticism that will lead those in its web to the bondage of spiritism. It is clear and simple “occultic stupidity.” Let’s prove this with some of their New Age programs.

Pumsy, The Dragon

The promoters of this curriculum boast that it is now in 40% of our elementary schools. It is labeled as a self-esteem program, but clearly promotes a paradigm shift in children’s thinking. A teacher in Fort Mill, SC, told a student who protested, “I don’t need Pumsy, I’ve got Jesus,” that, “Jesus and God can’t be with you all the time, so you need to call on Pumsy, who will never leave you.” This teacher was an open believer in Pumsy and even taught the children to use crystals and other New Age practices.

Most teachers and counselors who promote Pumsy are subtler, and because of their subtlety, are even more dangerous. This program is New Age to the core. Here is a letter sent home to the parents by two of the teachers in Fort Mill: (Please remember that most schools do not inform the parents in this open fashion.)

“Dear Parent,

 This letter is to update you what we are doing in the Pumsy Program.

Unit 1 is called ‘Pumsy Decides.’ In this unit, we are introduced to Pumsy the dragon and her friend whose name is Friend. We become acquainted with different parts of Pumsy’s personality. She has a wonderful ‘Sparkler Mind’ that is like sparklers on the 4th of July. It is bright and quick, and it runs and plays. This is where all her wonderful, bright ideas come from. When Pumsy is in her Sparkler Mind, she feels good about herself.

Pumsy also has her ‘Clear Mind.’ It is like a pond — still, quiet, clear, and safe. This is where her peacefulness comes from. When Pumsy is in her Clear Mind, she feels good about herself. There is another part of Pumsy’s mind. She calls it her ‘Mud Mind.’ When she is in her Mud Mind, her mind is like a puddle of mud. She can’t think clearly. She feels confused. She doesn’t feel safe. She doesn’t feel good about herself, or good about others or good about anything.

When Pumsy is in her Mud Mind, she waits and waits. She waits for something good to happen to her so her Mud Mind will go away. She doesn’t know yet that she doesn’t have to wait.

Friend (an unseen character in the program) knows about Mud Minds. What he knows about Mud Minds is how to make them go away. He knows how to do it all by himself. Pumsy says to Friend, ‘Will this bad feeling ever go away? Will I ever feel good again? I am so tired of waiting and waiting for something to happen to make me feel better.’

Friend says to Pumsy, ‘Pumsy, you don’t have to wait for something to happen before you can feel better about yourself. You can make it happen!’

The decision Pumsy makes is to learn how to get out of her Mud Mind all by herself.

With the help of Friend, Pumsy begins to learn how to use her Clear Mind and her Sparkler Mind to get herself out of her Mud Mind. She acquires some basic skills that will help her to feel better about herself, better about others, and better about things in general.

The positive theme for this unit is ‘I CAN CHOOSE HOW I FEEL.’

Another letter will come home at the beginning of the next unit.

Best Wishes,

Please research this whole idea of affective education that is clearly presented in this letter. This idea originated with Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, two psychologists who have now been thoroughly discredited by some of their own peers. This is called self-actualization and was never to be used with children according to Maslow himself. William Carlson was a right hand to Carl Rogers and helped promote this faulty idea. He now heads an organization called “Ethno psychology,” and is dedicated to ending this entire approach to education.

Matthew 2:18 “In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.”

Mark 9:36-37 “And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.”

Outcome-Based Education

This is the “grand” idea that is now full steam across America. It sounds extremely innocent. We all want “outcome” or well-educated graduating seniors. It is promoted with millions of dollars from the top industries in our nation. To criticize this idea is like stepping on a train track in front of a locomotive going 100 mph.

The educator I mentioned earlier, Dr. William G. Spady, is a prime mover. In a lengthy article published in “OUTCOMES,” Spring 1992, he described this educational approach. Here is a statement he makes at the beginning: (Please remember what educators are saying when they use the word paradigm.)

“Third, our educational system needs a new theoretical and operating paradigm, and a growing consensus of prominent opinion leaders, business executives, and educators in supporting the notion. They see that a new restructured paradigm of education must be implemented if either the nation or public education is to survive the already evident flood of internal and external economic, social, and political problems making daily headlines.” 

In this article he discusses three stages of reaching the desired goal. He spoke of Traditional Outcome-Based Education, Transitional Outcome-Based Education, and Transformational Outcome-Based Education. The goal is always the last of the three. The first steps are methods to reach the ultimate. In fact he says,

“The irony about Traditional OBE is this: It characterizes almost all of the OBE implementation currently underway in local districts in the U.S. and Canada, and it is highly effective in improving student achievement in school. Yet it is NOT, strictly speaking, OUTCOME-BASED.” — Ibid, p. 15.

He calls this the starting point. Why do they choose to introduce this idea in stages? One reason — It would start a revolution to do it otherwise. We must be brainwashed to the idea slowly; and as we lose our will to resist, then the ultimate can fill our tax-supported schools.

Listen to these words read on National Radio by Marlin Maddoux:

“I want to read something to you, and it comes out of a magazine called The Quarterly Journal of the Network for Outcome-Based Schools. It’s called Outcomes, Vol 9, No IV, Winter 1990-91. Now, to me, what it’s talking about is going into the school district and convincing all of these people to change their ways and start doing it the new way. It seems that their mission is to transform society; first they’ve got to transform the public school systems across America. And, of course, the problem is people who continue to hold the western views in values. And so, as I read this, you’ll find that they’ve got to be converted to some kind of eastern mystical thought.

And this is Outcomes-Based Education! Remember, if you are a school board member, teacher, whatever, and they come in after you to get this into your schools; they send in some pretty high-powered people who know what they are doing.  This is an article called, ‘Paradigm Change, More Magic Than Logic.‘  John Hillary writes it.  And he says,

‘Many observers argue that we are in the middle of a revolutionary change in the patterns and processes of human endeavor.’

Then he starts talking about a shift in the way we think about our culture, our core processes, our worldview, and so on. Then he says,

‘First Order Change. You may have never heard of this, but First Order Change (Traditional OBE) does not challenge your contradictive established context of organization. Now, that can be a company, it can be anything, but this is education.’  

So, he’s talking about the local school, the board, and the national system, all of us out here. So he says,

 ‘People are not usually threatened, either personally or collectively by this type of change.’ He says, ‘The deeper changes that frustrate leaders and threaten followers are planned Second Order Changes (Transitional OBE). These changes intentionally challenge widely shared assumptions, disintegrate the context of organization and, in general, reframe the social system. This, in turn, generates widespread ambiguity, discontinuity, anxiety, frustration, confusion, paranoia, cynicism, and anger, as well as temporary dysfunction.’ 

Now, this is what they want to do to your school system and to the parents. This is the same thing that the cults use in converting people to their religion. Let me go on [with John Hillary’s remarks]:

‘The mission purpose of the organization includes the underlying blueprint encoded in the heads and hearts of members that rationalizes both the culture and core processes.’

In other words, what we are dealing with here, this man is saying, is long-held beliefs, worldviews and all of this. So, we’ve got to go against that. I’m skipping through this. I’m gonna come back on a later program and read more, but just a few more. He says,

‘Least disruptive changes in core processes that do not call into question the existing culture or organizational paradigms, these are first order changes. The most disruptive changes, second order on the other hand, call into question the entire context of organization. Paradigm change is therefore not only traumatic in and of itself, but also challenges other attributes and disintegrates the relationship among all domains. The eventual outcome of such change is transformed or renewed organization.’ 

Now, this is what they are trying to do. Let me go on just a little more. It says,

‘During second order change, the organization must face and hopefully pass through a period of widespread psychological ambiguity, social disconnectiveness, and general confusion.’

Now, is that the Rev. Moon? No! It’s a guy pushing Outcome-Based Education in your public school. He goes on to say,

‘The requisite disintegration of the existing culture and paradigm disrupts the organization’s frame of reference. During this time there is little or no clear and consistent context to guide the thinking and behavior of members. In social systems, this condition produces dysfunction, anxiety, frustration, equilibrium and systematic chaos. Thumbs & Nelson defines such organizations as have devolved to a reactive state.’ 

Now, this is the state, according to this man, that Nancy Stable (a guest on Marlin’s radio program who is leading opposition) is in. Reactive against it. And he is saying to the people that are doing this,

‘Don’t worry about it. This is all going to take place.’ 

I could read – I just don’t have time – but Planned Second Order Change, he talks about that, but here is a little more:

‘Many restructuring efforts have failed and the organizations have gone back to the future when unable to endure the psychological consequences of Second Order Change. It’s therefore imperative that leaders of Planned Second Order Change support people as they individually and collectively let go of the way it has always been and open themselves up to the chaos that must precede a return to new stability.‘ 

Now, folks all you gotta do is add to that a few chains and some bamboo stuff under the fingers and few beatings and so on and basically you’ve got the same kind of thing that changes the mind of a prisoner. But then, the underlying eastern mystical thought comes out. Listen to what the man says. Here it is:

‘Western man tends to be captivated by scientific rationality. We have learned to operate as if there is order to everything. It is only recently that we’ve begun to acknowledge a better balance between the sensible and the supersensible.’ 

One more paragraph, listen:

‘And so to the degree that a vision of schooling calls into question the paradigm, the purpose and the culture of the organization; Second Order Change becomes the agenda in order to enable the transformation of our schools, boards of education, superintendents, principals, department chairs and teachers must individually and collectively master the context within which they work and face challenges that require more leadership than management, more magic than logic (Transformational OBE).’ 

That’s frightening! That’s frightening!”

Colossians 3:20-21 “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.”

Many Other Educational Programs of New Age Deception

These two ideas and the data to show their plans give you some understanding of what these educators (???) have in mind for our nation. I said to our former Charlotte/Mecklenburg Superintendent, Dr. John Murphy, “Why don’t you just go back to traditional cognitive education?” I shared with him how our Christian schools have proven that we turn out well-educated students with high marks of academic success. He didn’t answer because there is no answer. They cannot accomplish their goals unless they presume what Dr. Spady quotes from his friend: “We are making things better by making them worse.”

The New World Order

Children and young people are being prepared to accept with open arms a New Order of mankind. This, I believe, is to be the kingdom of the Antichrist ruled by Satan himself. When the author of a book, entitled Hidden Dangers Of The Rainbow, first began to speak, it was a small crowd who wanted to hear. One by one others have awakened, and now there is a small-sized army of concerned people. The whole idea is out of the closet, and the New Agers are determined to defeat the Bible-believers and introduce the “Age of Aquarius” to America and the World.
