The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in the kings palaces. Proverbs 30:28
If the false prophet’s ‘New World Religion’, with its fusion of apostate churchmen and esoterics, was being launched into the twentieth century by this circle of comrades, to be sure, the AntiChrist’s autocracy was escorting the destroyer. Westcott himself Writes of his hopes for a ‘New One World Government’,
[O]ur hearts are moved when statesmen or students speak with glowing hope for the coming union of nations…91
The one world reign of the AntiChrist is also the dream today of former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, Robert Muller.
By the year 2000 we will be fully in the business of making a new world…narrow nationalism will shrink and countries will become like Vermont and California are now. 92
Hort would agree, calling America as an independent nation, “a standing menace to the whole of civilization.” He wished, “the American union may be shivered in pieces.” 93 Hort’s ‘Apostles’ “had hoped that the developments in the social sciences would before long make possible an equitable and frictionless society.” 94
This trial marriage of religion an government took place Between Westcott, Hort and Lightfoot, as ‘helpmeets’-and their Consort in the Eranus Club, Arthur Balfour, upcoming Prime Minister Of Great Britain. Balfour, “inspired by reports of human levitation” Went on to take the leadership role in the Ghostly Guild’s baby, the S.P.R. 95 The Dictionary of National Biography cites him as saying, “bring metaphysics back” and recalls his open declaration of his love for contacting ‘the dead’ and “in our power to communicate with them.” 96
Again we see historians pairing the Theosophical Society and The S.P.R.. The Occult Underground cites one historian who,
…saw the early 1880’s as a period filled with portents. The many organizations he saw founded- Hyndman’s Democratic Federation, The Theosophical Society, The Vegetarian Society, The Society for Psychical Research [S.P.R.], The Anti-Vivisection movement –he characterized as ‘tending toward the establishment of mystical ideas and a new social order.’ 97
Arthur Balfour, who was a member of Hort’s Apostles, Westcott’s Eranus, as well as President of the S.P.R., soon became the Prime Minister of England and instrumental in the first League of Nations. New Age planner Vera Alder writes recently:
The embryonic World Government is potentially already There founded essentially upon the League of Nations. 98
The temporal power and authority which can follow a league With seducing spirits is the subject of Luke 4:5-7.
And the devil taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. Luke 4:5-7
To fulfill this requisite-“worship me,” Balfour not only headed the S.P.R., holding séances in his home, but initiated a group called ‘The Synthetic Society’ whose goal was to create a ‘one world religion’. He invited Frederic Myers of the S.P.R. to join and together they created “The preamble of all religions.” It included the dogma, “departed spirits can communicate.” 99
‘Synthetic Society’ membership was reportedly dominated by proponents of Hegel’s dialectical philosophy, which in practice became Marx’s dialectical materialism. 100 These strange bedfellows, communism and occultism, are uncovered in The Fabians, a book detailing their interconnection in England. According to its authors, Edward Peace and Frank Podmore were instrumental in the genesis of both the S.P.R. and the various Marxist societies of London. Peace Referred to the work of Westcott, Hort and Sidgwick’s ‘Ghostly Guild’ and his own Marxist activities as “our common work.” 101 Is there, perhaps, an unconscious understanding among these people of the alliance between Satan and those who would seek ruling power and authority?
…and the dragon [Satan] gave him his power and his seat and his authority. Revelation 13:2
The mortar binding fiends and ‘fellow travelers’ comes into focus in “collective ventures between the S.P.R. and the Dialectical Society.” Rather than “resort to a small group of persons called mediums” the “sought to educe supernormal faculties among members” by “thought-transference, table tilting and automatic writing.” The Fabians mentions the complicity of two S.P.R. presidents, Arthur Balfour and his brother Gerald, with the Marxist harbingers of the day. This connection between England’s Spiritualists and Socialists is futher seen in Annie Besants vitae where the Oxford Movement (of which Westcott and Hort were in sympathy), “Friends of Russia,” the Dialectical Society, and finally leadership of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society merge. 102
Hort’s crimson calligrapher’s pen jabs of “[M]y deep hatred of democracy in all its forms.” 103 “I have pretty well made up my mind to devote three or four years up here to the study of communism.” 104 Today New Age Benjamin Crème predicts, “…democracy will disappear.” 105 The dialectical dream, with its thesis, antithesis, and synthesis seems to be taking form today with the breakdown of pure Communism and pure democracy into a common world socialism. Westcott’s dreams, set forth in his book, Christian Socialism: What And Why, are coming true.
Conspiracy buffs will prick up their ears to hear, not only of Balfour’s esoteric comradeship with Westcott and Hort, but of his membership, beginning in 1881, in another ‘secret society’ with Cecil Rhodes, multimillionaire and founder of the famous Rhodes Scholarship. This society is said to be the germination for the C.F.R. (Council on Foreign Relations). This fetal C.F.R. had and inner circle of three, followed by another circle of three, and so on. 106 The C.F.R., according to ‘conspiracy enthusiasts, blends politicians and international financiers in a brew which, though “reeling like a drunkard” at times, is propelling the nation states toward a one world government. (Bush is a member, as were half (28 of 59) of the major appointees of the Reagan administration.) 107
The pet name given this sphinx is the ‘New World Order’, a phrase which peppers our daily diet at increasing rates. President Bush’s nationally televised speech before Congress on September 11, 1990, during the Iraq crisis, hailed “The dream of the new world order.” Representative Gepart’s Democratic response encored these exact words again. United Nations leader Robert Muller continues the public television news, Henry Kissinger said that the Iraq regime was not cooperating with “the new world order.” President Clinton is cooperating. As many have discovered, the Latin phrase ‘New World Order’ foots the U.S. one-dollar bill’s all-seeing-eye of Horus (impersonator of Jesus Christ in Egyptian mythology).
The New Age chorus chimes in with esoteric leader Vera Alder’s plan for “the building of a new world order.” 108 Jeremy Rifkin’s Entropy spins the new world order across the pages of his bok like a broken record. Los Angeles Times writer, Russell Chandler observes, “But New Agers believe a “New Order” is about to break out of the “old epoch of rationalism…” Editor of the Christian Research Journal 109 reiterates, “For some New Agers, the Age of Aquarius is little more than a convenient symbol for the ‘new order’. 110
The ‘religious’ community ‘faithfully’ traces the words of this slogan. Pope John Paul II’s June, 1990 speech in San Francisco booms this reprise, “Everything must change. Tolerance is the alpha and omega of the new world order.” 111 Frighteningly, the NIV changes the words in Hebrews 9:10 from “until the time of the reformation” to:
“until the time of the new world order.” NIV
Neither the Greek words for “new” nor “order” are here in any manuscript. The Greek word implies ‘an improvement’, which is expressed well in the KJV. The NIV, more than any other translation I have collated, gives numerous chilling New Age renderings. This should not amaze the reader since the “NIV follows the critical Westcott and Hort text.” And in this case, the ‘spirit’ of Westcott’s “glowing hope of the coming union of nations” and his call for “the new order” haunts the NIV. 112
Should we see as diabolical and prophetic, the inter-membership and philosophical agreement of ‘spiritual’ and government leaders? As John wrote “many false prophets are gone out into the world” and “there are many antichrists.” 113 Baker Book author, Elliot Miller, poses a thought.
As we consider the Western occult movements that have gathered momentum since the early nineteenth century, we must ask ourselves, if there might be a larger Satanic design than simply leading individual souls astray. While there is a temptation to dismiss these groups as ‘fringe’, it must be pointed out that:
- Satan’s objective is to unite the world under a man wholly given over to him, and 2. [T]he occult world is…uniquely Satan’s domain then, 3. [I]t should not be surprising to find occult movements actively engaging in promoting such a world..[I]f there are enough…correspondences at critical points, his purpose will be furthered. 114
