As stated on the previous post, I will continue to share the truth behind this movement. It seems as though so many are embracing the concept of "world peace." As the chaos continues to increase across the globe so will the cry for peace. On September 7, 2013, Pope Francis declared the day as a worldwide day for prayer and fasting for peace in Syria and the Middle East. This is one of many recent events where world leaders or highly influential men of faith have made global cries for peace. As we continue in our research, let us be wise and discerning of the day and time of which we live.
The origins of the “Interfaith” movement (Not so Popular Approach)
The popularity of this growing movement can be traced to several sources but the most popular and clearly one of the most influential in outlining the blueprint to make this movement a success was Alice Bailey, a major proponet of a New World Order (NWO). Alice Ann Bailey (6/16/1880 – 12/15/1949) was a writer and theosophist in what she termed “Ageless Wisdom” which included occult teachings, esoteric psychology and healing. She also delved in astrological and other philosophical religious themes. She has influenced many occult and pagan believers i.e., the UFO society, self-awareness/healing propaganda that is now floating through this age. Alice Bailey’s goal was to ensure that those who believed in the one who would soon come would promote that all faiths are equal. Bailey is largely credited to have significant influence on the New Age movement in which she developed the 10 Point Plan where she claimed “first of all, He will come to a world which is essentially one world.” Obviously, this is in reference to the "lawless one" or the "anti-christ" that we find in scripture.
The outline of Bailey's 10 Point Plan or Strategies for the New Age (NWO) are as follows:
1. Take God and prayer out of the education system.
2. Reduce parental authority over the children.
3. Destroy the Judeo-Christian family structure of the traditional Christian family structure.
4. If sex is free, then make abortion legal and make it easy.
5. Make divorce easy and legal. Free people from the concept of marriage for life.
6. Make homosexuality an alternate lifestyle.
7. Debase art, make it run mad.
8. Use media to promote and change mindset.
9. Create an interfaith movement. (WOW – REALLY)
10. Get governments to make all these law and the church to endorse these changes.
As noted by the 10 Point Plan or 10 Strategies of Alice Bailey towards a new age of society, number 9 is part of the agenda to promote the equality of all religions in an effort to destroy Christianity. Alice Bailey wrote; “Promote other faiths to be at par with Christianity and break this thing about Christianity as being the only way to heaven by that Christianity will be pulled down and other faiths promoted. She said promote the importance of man in determining his own future and destiny – HUMANISM. Tell man he has the right to choose what he wants to be and he can make it happen, he has the right to determine his cause – This takes God off His throne."
Alice Bailey is considered a Prophetess of this New Age movement also known as the Age of Aquarius when all will recognize the ability to be god lies within who you are. Therefore, in order for the age of Aquarius to be fully established “God (Yahweh) must be dethroned or made equal” in essence Biblical Christianity is destroyed and no longer viewed as the dominant belief with One Creator (Yahweh). She believed that all would embrace self-illumination at the time of Aquarius.
The truth behind this movement is expressly stated by Alice Bailey “…all who see no true or basic difference between religion and religion or between man and man or nation and nation will rally around him (the anti-christ); those who embody the spirit of exclusiveness and separateness will stand automatically and equally revealed and all men will know them for what they are.” Although the movement did not gain momentum until the Roman Catholic Church started the course, the seed was planted through the works of Alice Bailey.

While Bailey clearly outlined the strategy to propel the movement forward, the Roman Catholic Church accelerated the movement. The influence of the Roman Catholic Church on the Interfaith movement is outlined below with an excerpt of the apparent fusion of Roman Catholicism and Paganism. For example, in Vatican Council II documents it states, "…In Hinduism men explore the divine mystery and express it both in the limitless riches of myth and the accurately defined insights of philosophy. They seek release from the trials of the present life by ascetical practices, profound meditation and recourse to God in confidence and love. Buddhism in its various forms testifies to the essential inadequacy of this changing world. It proposes a way of life by which man can, with confidence and trust, attain a state of perfect liberation and reach supreme illumination either through their own efforts or by the aid of divine help. …The Catholic Church rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions." With the desire to learn and explore more of the mystical aspects, the Catholic Priest Thomas Keating outlines the emerging aspects of practices in meditation of pagan faith as follows: "Contemplative Prayer is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being - to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words and emotions." [Source:Vatican Council II Documents]
In this statement alone, Keating has attempted to belittle Yahweh to an “ultimate mystery” attempting to make Yahweh equal to a mythical being or concept. In this attempt to merge Yahweh, the Creator with other pantheistic views, the image of Yahweh as sovereign is deduced to a resemblance of man. In essence those practicing contemplative prayer have learned the effects of centering prayer are ecclesial, as the prayer tends to build communities of faith and bond the members together in mutual friendship and love (sounds familiar). This movement is seeking to make Yahweh into the image of humans.
Now that Rome has entered a marriage with Pagan teachings/beliefs the New Age movement as prophesied by Bailey has come to the forefront of many who are enlightened and fully embrace this concept. This is being propelled by Catholics and the Emergent Church making this New Age concept of all faiths as equal very probable to many who are committed to this effort.
Clearly, this movement is not about world peace the implications are far more deceptive. Since the beginning, the plan to be as gods has not been destroyed or forgotten - it simply has evolved. We will begin to examine scripture on my next post. Let us work to be transformed daily - Peace and Love!
