Before I begin today’s article I want to make a brief comment about yesterday’s article following the official announcement that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has resigned. The article I wrote yesterday about what to watch for after Mubarak resignation seems quite relevant again. The Egyptian protesters can celebrate tonight but the situation is still very fluid and will remain so over the next several days. We will need to watch what happens inside and outside of Egypt closely because there is a lot at stake now…
Now here is today’s article…
Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...
Excerpts from the January and February 2011 edition of Benjamin Creme's (the official spokesmen of Maitreya, the leader of the Ascended Masters-a group of spiritual beings referred to as the “spiritual wickedness in high places” in Ephesians 6:12) magazine have finally been posted on his website. As I typically do, I provide a review of the new edition of Creme’s magazine.
The Ascended Master who advises Benjamin Creme had an article (transcribed by Creme) which hyped Maitreya as a messianic figure who will supposedly bring mankind together. This evil spiritual being went as far as to say that Maitreya would lead the effort to “save” the world.
- I’ve noticed a theme after critiquing countless articles authored by those who promote the coming of a positive “New Age” under Maitreya. The main message that is typically found in these unbiblical articles is that salvation can be achieved by man himself. These unbiblical articles deny that there's a need for a Savior like Jesus Christ. These articles deny that Maitreya is a savior-not because they’re trying to tell the truth (Maitreya DEFINITELY IS NOT a savior; he’s a dangerous entity)-but because they are trying to persuade followers that mankind can save itself primarily through its works, which is a message that the Bible refutes (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The reader Question and Answer section of Creme’s magazine did not have a lot of information contained in it-simply because Creme gave very short answers.
- Creme was asked whether he expected a breakdown in the European Union (E.U.). He stated that he thinks it’ll happen eventually… Unlike Creme, I think a breakdown in the E.U. is unlikely because it’s difficult to envision an End Times scenario without the European Union intact in some form and a breakdown of the E.U. would seemingly undermine the spiritual forces of evil's plans for a united Europe. I could see a member like Greece leave the E.U. in the future, but not the complete disappearance of the E.U...
- Creme stated in a response to a question that he expects UFOs (which some prominent Christian and non-Christian researchers conclude are actually evil spiritual entities attempting to lead people astray and is a view I agree with) to become more widely accepted by the public over the next few years.
- Creme implied that his Ascended Master characterizes the health of the global economic and financial system as “precarious”… Given how indebted the United States is and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe, I would not disagree with this general assessment of the global economic and financial system’s health. The global economic and financial system is not nearly in as good of shape as many people in the media portray it to be.
As usual, the magazine included new photographs of the “Star Sign” and included letters from readers around the world describing strange, personal experiences that they suspect could have been influenced by the Ascended Masters.
- The Bible tells us to beware of lying signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24, Revelation 13:13-14, and 2 Thessalonians 2:9). In contrast, Creme’s magazine seems to encourage its readers to actively search for signs and wonders by publishing stories of readers who sought signs and wonders and found them. The contrast further strengths my view that people should not seek signs and wonders…
Finally, if anyone is still tracking the alleged Maitreya television tour on American television, Creme claims that Maitreya has given 31 interviews as of January 17, 2011. Here are a couple of other recent allegations Creme has made regarding the alleged television appearances:
- December 21, 2010: 28 interviews
- November 14, 2010: 27 interviews
This is my review of Creme’s latest magazine. There is not a lot of new information that can be gleaned from this month's magazine excerpts. Nevertheless, I hope you found this review useful.
