In the esoteric group, which is composed of the true spiritual esotericists found in all exoteric occult groups, in the church, by whatever name it may be called, and in Masonry you have the three paths leading to initiation. As yet they are not used, and one of the things that will eventuate--when the new universal religion has sway and the nature of esotericism is understood--will be the utilisation of the banded esoteric organisms, the Masonic organism and the Church organism as initiating centres. source: Alice Bailey, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, 1957I use this paragraph from Alice Bailey's Externalization of the Hierarchy often because I think that it comes as close as anything out there to telling us how that 666 will be implemented. The first sentence states:
In the esoteric group, which is composed of the true spiritual esotericists found in all exoteric occult groups, in the church, by whatever name it may be called, and in Masonry you have the three paths leading to initiation.If this statement is to be believed, then the churches (exo-teric) have been infiltrated by occultists (eso-teric). Bailey makes this statement back in 1957 as if it was already very widespread and it likely was.
Today every denomination has been compromised and it is probable that occult infiltration has affected almost all individual Christian churches from the smallest to the largest. The common people greatly underestimate the power of the occult to remain hidden in plain sight. We shall return to Bailey's final statement about about initiation.
Moving on to the next sentence:
As yet they are not used, and one of the things that will eventuate--when the new universal religion has sway and the nature of esotericism is understood...This is Bailey's "through a glass darkly" statement. The occultists do not fully understand what they are serving. The key statement here is "as yet they are not used."
Whatever Freemasonry and the other occult groups are doing with their degrees, bands, etc...has nothing to do with what is coming. The coming religion is a big secret even to most occultists, but wise Christians know it. The nature of occult esotericism cannot be understood until the beast rises from the abyss and Apollyon stands before the world.
Therefore, the "new universal religion" referred to by Alice Bailey can be none other than this:
Revelation 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?The final sentence gets to the heart of the matter:
...will be the utilisation of the banded esoteric organisms, the Masonic organism and the Church organism as initiating centres.The churches will be one of the places where the mark of the beast shall be implemented. Bailey calls it initiation. Initiation is exactly what taking the mark of the beast is. People, when they take the mark of the beast, will be initiated into the final world order and the mystery religion that has been lurking behind the occult for thousands of years.
This is what the NWO is all about. The NWO is capable at any moment of doing all of the things that the conspiracy theorists talk about it being able to do "at some future time." It already has total control that they say it is trying to gain.
But the NWO is not about, as Orwell stated it, "stamping on a human face forever." The NWO exists to keep the world forever on the brink. The NWO exists as the perpetual preparatory stage of the Apocalypse. When Jesus starts opening seals all of the plans of the NWO will go into effect. They are going to implement the mark and they will do it in the places that you trust the most, among them the churches. They will not round you up and bus you off to FEMA camp. It is going to happen right there at the church you know and trust.
And you need to heed this warning. There are many tools being used today that are creating within people a susceptibility to trance-like state induction. Video games, smart phones, music and video and even a big push towards various types of meditation are all being used to condition the masses and to prepare your minds to be shocked.
And their occult symbols are absolutely everywhere.
When the end time events come the psychological manipulation will probably be...mind boggling, literally. Thresholds are being lowered, tolerances are being established and the seeds of the future universal religion are being planted. Your brains are being hacked, even in the churches:
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.You are warned. The falling away i.e. apostasy is coming. I am willing to entertain the possibility of a pre-tribulation rapture, but I am not counting on it.
We are told of "souls under the altar" in Revelation 6:9. These are the early church martyrs. In verse 11 we are told that there will be future saints who will be killed as they were.
In Revelation 7:9 we read of a great multitude that "came out of great tribulation." the context dictates that these are the future martyrs spoken of in 6:9. These saints were not raptured. They were killed.
Yet 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15&17 plainly state that some Christians will survive on the earth even up until the very coming of the Lord at which time they shall be transformed as they are caught up to meet him in the air.
That event is the only rapture that I believe will ever occur.
On any account, there will be Christians who experience the entire tribulation without facing death.
I envy them and I pity them.
