Satan has a Plan for a One World Religion and a One World Government. How do we know this? It is revealed in Bible prophecy.

If we examine Gods Word closely and contrast its prophecies with the events transpiring around us, we come to a most astonishing conclusion: the last years of the twentieth century may well comprise one of the final chapters in the age-old battle between the powers of evil and God and His people.

The Bible envisions a period of increasing rebellion against God culminating in the Great Tribulation, a frightening time of worldwide brutality and religious apostasy. During this period, the nations of earth will be transformed into a one world political system and religion. This will be accomplished according to The Plan of the dark forces that oppose God.

In my book Rush to Armageddon I stated:

Powerful forces are swirling around mankind todayforces that are destined to bring about a profound change in both our physical and spiritual worlds. Man cannot avoid those forces, no more than he could avoid being brought forth into this world and having breath entered into his lungs.

In this present book, I closely examine these powerful forces and, with Gods help, expose their evil objectives. The Bible warned us about these forces. For example, Daniel, one of the Lords great prophets, foresaw that in the last days, Satan would install a world ruler. This ruler, Daniel said, would magnify himself above all while contemptuously disregarding the laws of God. In place of the true God, this evil ruler will honor the God of forces (Dan. 11:36-45).

Even now, a man is perhaps being groomed to be this world ruler. I do not know when he will come forth, though the time must surely be drawing near, based on current events. However, after years of research into the objectives of the New Age Movement, I am convinced of one thing: this man of Satan, called the Beast with the number 666 in Revelation, will find already in place a popularly acclaimed One World Religion perfectly suited for his style of leadership. The Antichrist will therefore find great satisfaction in assuming the reigns of the New Age World Religion.

If this statement shocks you, that is understandable. It is best for us to be very skeptical about claims that this or that group or church is the Satan-led, end-time religion prophesied in the Holy Bible. God wants us to be discerning. Whats more, having a scientific orientation and with my background as a career Air Force officer, I am not prone to hasty, ill-considered judgments or snap decisions, especially about important spiritual matters. This is why I decided to investigate for myself by thoroughly researching the New Age Movement, its roots, and its activities and goals.

What I discovered staggers the imagination. The New Age Movement has undeniably taken on the definite form of a religion, complete with an agreed-upon body of doctrine, printed scripture, a pattern of worship and ritual, a functioning group of ministers and lay leaders, and an effective outreach program carried out by an active core of proselytizing believers. Furthermore, because of its astonishing success in attracting new followers, the New Age Church now has a large and growing membership worldwide. Its avowed aim, however, is to become the only world religion.

In the free marketplace of ideas, it is perfectly acceptable that a religion strive to convert others to its belief system. This is as true of the New Age World Religion as it is for Christianity. But the horrible truth about the New Age is that its leaders do not wish to freely compete with Christianity. They seek to destroy Christianity.

New Age leaders know that only if they are able to undermine credibility in the Bible, discredit Jesus Christ, and weaken the example of Christian churches can they succeed in their ultimate objective: the ascension to power of a New Age Messiah (the Antichrist) and the establishment of a one world order. At the pinnacle of this one world order will be the religious system described in Revelation 17: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

To accomplish its insidious and perverse objectives, the leaders of this new religion have set forth a New Age Plan which they call The Divine Plan or simply The Plan, designed by none other than the master of deceit, Satan himself.

You should know, if you are a Christiana Biblical Christian who believes in the inspired Word of Godthat you are a primary target of The Plan. In fact, the only thing that stands between Satan and the successful implementation of this horrible, lawless Plan for humanity is you and millions of other determined Christians throughout the world. This is why the subversion and conquest of Christianity is the number one priority for those involved in carrying out The Plan.

As we look at the New Age with our Bibles open and plainly understand its darker side, our minds grow numb. But finally we recognize this movement for what it truly is. A sense of mounting horror grips us as we understand that this is almost certainly the end-time harlot church prophesied in the Bible. Our hearts sag because it is evident The Plan has made startling progress toward fulfillment. The New Age World Religion has already become the fastest-growing religious movement on earth.

In the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matt. 13:24-30), Jesus taught that evil would grow and grow, intermingling with the good until the time of the harvest. Evil will not gradually disappear before good, but will ever develop and ripen until its highest manifestation in the last days. When we survey the damage to souls being caused by New Age doctrines and the incredible popularity of these doctrines, it is difficult not to view this development with alarm.

However, ...God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). Basic to our sound mind is the knowledge that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (see 1 John 4:4). The rise to power of an evil Antichrist and the move toward a dominant One World Religion is no surprise to Gods people. His prophets told us everything that was to come.

What is needed today is revivala revival of the power of God on earth. Satan cannot withstand this, and his New Age World Religion shrinks before it. May each one of us be an instrument of this supernatural power. As one of Gods great twentieth-century spiritual leaders, the late pastor Gresham Machen, wrote:

God has brought His church through many perils, and the darkest hour has often preceeded the dawn. So it may be in our day. The gospel may yet break forth, sooner than we expect, to bring light and liberty to mankind. But that will be done by the...instrumentality, not of theological pacifists who avoid controversy, but of earnest contenders for the faith. God give us men in our time who will stand with Luther and say, Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise, God help me. Amen.
