A Couple of Thoughts on the April 2011 Share Intl Edition

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...


A few days after March’s Japan earthquake, a portion of the April 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 was released online. I was asked for my thoughts about the magazine at that time, but I wanted to wait until I saw the other portions of the magazine that would be made available online before commenting.


Additional portions of the magazine were supposedly posted online last week, but the links have not worked until now. Therefore, I have been unable to write about it until now...


  • Today I provide a couple of my thoughts on the April 2011 edition of Creme’s magazine.


There were two main items in this month’s magazine which caught my attention.


1. The first came in the question and answer section where a reader basically asked Creme if the popular uprisings in Egypt and North Africa will spread across the globe in a more forceful way. Creme replied “yes”.


  • I thought it was noteworthy that Creme expects for there to be more popular uprisings elsewhere in the world since he communicates with evil spiritual entities who could potentially work to stoke chaos...


2. The magazine had a long section about how young people will supposedly be important players to bring change to the world.


  • The section included a peculiar passage from one of Creme’s old books which claimed that the Ascended Masters have been training young men and women since 1975, and that these young people will be elected to positions of power to enact the change that the Ascended Masters want.
  • I’ll let you decide whether or not to believe Creme’s claim… Let’s assume for the sake of argument that what Creme claims has actually taken place. This would mean that there may be some people currently in positions of power and influence that are working to accomplish the goals of evil spiritual entities (the Ascended Masters), which include the creation of a one-world economy, one-world government, and one-world religion… On the other hand, if what Creme claims is incorrect then there may not be people in positions of power and influence that are working to accomplish the goals of evil spiritual entities. Again, I’ll let you decide whether or not to believe Creme’s claim. I’m just noting some implications…


The rest of April's magazine had what you would normally find each month in Creme's magazine, which is a lot of false and unbiblical teachings. Anyway, I hope you've found this article at least somewhat useful…

Debunking Creme’s Latest Claims: Mar 2011 Share Intl Review

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 March 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) about the Egyptians’ successful ouster of the Mubarak regime last month.


  • The article began by praising the Egyptian people’s efforts to withstand Mubarak’s attempts to quell the protests and to hold onto power. However, the article quickly turned into an outlandish piece of writing when the author suggested that Maitreya was responsible for inspiring the Egyptian people to rise up peacefully against the Mubarak regime.
  • The article’s suggestion that Maitreya was responsible for inspiring the Egyptian people to rise up together peacefully against the Mubarak regime would most likely be taken as an insult by the average Egyptian who participated in the demonstrations against the Mubarak regime. The article’s suggestion implies that the weariness from 30 years of repression, discontent from high food prices, and the Tunisian people's ouster of their oppressive ruler were not factors that led/inspired Egyptians to rise up against the Mubarak regime.
  • The article is an example of how the spiritual forces of evil like to take credit for any event or phenomenon that is seen as a “positive” by many people around the world regardless of who or what is actually responsible for the event or phenomenon taking place. Humility is something Satan and his minions lack…


The reader Question and Answer section of Creme’s magazine focused on Maitreya’s alleged television appearances on American television. Creme claims the following about these appearances:


  • 4 million people, on average, watch each Maitreya interview on television
  • Maiterya has given 32 interviews in the U.S, 2 interviews in Mexico, and 0 interviews in Japan (34 total).


These latest claims make me seriously doubt that there are actual television interviews involving Maitreya taking place…


The claim that 4 million people on average are watching each Maitreya interview is hard to believe. There are only a few television news programs in America that have audiences above 4 million viewers, but it’s hard to believe that a single person could be interviewed 32 times in a little more than a year on them.


  • The most-watched cable news program in America is the O’Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, which only gets between 2 to 3 million viewers per night. If the most-watched cable news program attracts less than 4 million viewers each night it is unlikely that the alleged appearances are taking place on a cable news channel since there is not an audience of 4 million people watching at a single time.
  • The three main nightly network news broadcasts attract audiences above 4 million each night, but those news programs do not feature interviews that often. These broadcasts are focused on covering news events in the limited time they have (30 minutes minus television commercials).
  • Two morning network television shows have audiences larger than 4 million: NBC’s Today Show and ABC’s Good Morning America. However, it’s hard to imagine a person that espouses political views that are far out of the mainstream (like Maitreya would if he actually appeared on television) could be invited on these programs multiple times without drawing the close scrutiny of websites that closely monitor the political bias on cable and network news.


Creme’s claim that Maitreya has begun giving interviews in Mexico contradicts a prediction he made a time long ago. Creme claimed that Maitreya would appear on television in Japan after he appeared on television in America-not Mexico. These contradictory claims add to my doubts that actual television appearances are taking place…


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. In addition, there was more coverage about the "mysterious white horse” that appeared in Cairo and the “UFO” over Jerusalem in the magazine.


  • As I wrote last month, “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…”


This is my review of Creme’s latest magazine. I hope you found this review useful…

A Brief Comment on Egypt and My Jan-Feb 2011 Share Intl Review

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…

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.

Creme Issues Press Release about Egyptian and Temple Mount Events

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...


Some of you may have noticed that I have not written about Benjamin Creme (the official spokesmen of Maitreya-the leader of the Ascended Masters-a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”) in awhile. The reason for this is that I’ve been waiting for the latest edition of Creme’s magazine to be published online. The new edition of the magazine was supposed to be out in late January, but it seems it won’t be posted until the later part of February…


Some of you may have also noticed that I have not written about the alleged UFO sighting above the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The reason I did not write about the sighting was that I was not completely sure that what appeared was a UFO. Here is some video of the alleged sighting in case you’re not aware of what happened: Link


  • Note: I don’t make the title of these videos…


I have also not written about the appearance of a strange “horsemen” that apparently manifested in Cairo’s Tahrir Square last week. The reason for that is I was simply unaware that this event took place. If you have not seen it, here is video of the "horsemen’s" appearance (the appearance begins at 1.19 of the video): Link



A reader informed me that Benjamin Creme just issued a press release about the alleged UFO sighting above the Temple Mount and the appearance of the “horsemen” in Cairo. Creme claims in the press release that the object that appeared over the Temple Mount was one of the four UFOs responsible for producing the “star sign” of Maitreya’s coming and that the appearance of a rider on a "white horse” was a “blessing” from Maitreya.


Today I’ll critique each claim and provide you with some of my thoughts about these events.


The Star Sign

A second video of the object appearing over the Temple Mount (more specifically the Dome of the Rock) reminds me of the pictures and videos that Creme has posted on his website of the “star sign”. The object that supposedly appeared over the Temple Mount pulsates like the object appearing in the videos and in the pictures. The following is this second video (unfortunately someone uses profanity in the video so be warned) Link



The object that appeared above the Dome of the Rock in the second video appears to be smaller than the dome itself, which is a little bit less than 21 meters in diameter. However, Creme stated in April 2010 that each UFO responsible for creating the star sign was five football/soccer fields in diameter, which is a lot bigger than the Dome of the Rock. Given this discrepancy, it seems that Creme is not being truthful about either the nature of the object that appeared over the Temple Mount or the size of the UFOs creating the star sign…


The “White Horse”

In addition to claiming that the rider on the “white horse” was a blessing from Maitreya, Creme also claimed that Maitreya often appears as “the Rider on a White Horse”


“Maitreya has often appeared as the Rider on a White Horse - an age-old symbol for a teacher to come. Many now expect the return of their awaited Teacher, whether they call him the Christ, Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, Kalki Avatar or the Imam Mahdi”.


Maitreya’s false claim to represent the messianic figures expected by all the world’s major religions might shed some light into Creme’s claim that Maitreya has often appeared as “the Rider on a White Horse”. The Kalki Avatar is a messianic figure in Hinduism who is prophesized to appear as a rider on a white horse.


  • Therefore, I suspect Creme was suggesting that Maitreya has appeared as the Kalki Avatar when he says Maitreya has often appeared as "the Rider on a White Horse" in his press release.


The appearance of a figure on a “white horse” is not exactly something positive for Christians. As you probably know, Revelation 6:1-2 mentions a rider on a white horse with a bow going out to conquer:


  • Rev 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
  • Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.


Most Christians would link the rider on the white horse mentioned in Revelation 6:1-2 with the Antichrist instead of a messianic figure...


The weakness of Creme’s claim about a rider on a “white horse” appearing in Cairo is that the color of the “horsemen” does not appear to be white. I have 20/20 eyesight and a very good graphics card on my laptop, yet I don’t see anything about the “horsemen's” color that appears white-if anything the "horsemen" looks green. Here is another video of the "horsemen", which shows how greenish it looks. Link




My Overall Assessment

Overall, I am skeptical of the validity of Creme’s most recent claims since there appears to be problems with each claim. I don’t rule out the possibility that something spiritually-related occurred with each event, but I question Creme’s account of the events and Creme’s interpretation of the meaning behind the events.


If something spiritual took place in Jerusalem and/or Cairo, I do not believe these events are linked with the appearance of the horsemen in the Book of Revelation. The primary reason is that the "covenant with many" has not been confirmed yet (Daniel 9:27), so we are not yet living in a time when the seals mentioned in the Book of Revelation are opened.


If something spiritual took place in Jerusalem and/or Cairo, I suspect these events were probably orchestrated by the spiritual forces of evil to further condition people into believing in the presence of 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) and in the presence of spiritual beings on Earth.


  • It is important to note that each event took place at high-profile locations at a time when people were watching closely what was going on, especially in Egypt. Whoever orchestrated these events probably was seeking to attract people’s attention...


Creme’s quick attempt to link these events to Maitreya also suggests that these events were not inspired by God…


I don’t expect everyone to agree with my assessment, but you know where I stand on these events now.

Creme Addresses Fallibility: Dec 2010 Share Intl Review

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...


A small portion of the December 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 was published online on Christmas Eve. Today I provide a brief overview of the portion of Creme’s magazine that is available online and provide some of my thoughts on some of the claims Creme and the Ascended Master who advises Creme make in this magazine.


The magazine began with an article by the Ascended Master who advises Benjamin Creme (transcribed by Creme) about the "need" for change in the world. Interestingly, the article began by suggesting that the ongoing efforts by experts and governments to keep the current economic and financial system going would eventually fail. The article then claimed that many people are looking for a voice to express their suffering and claimed that Maitreya is that “voice” working to influence events.


  • The only thing that stands out in the article is the suggestion that the ongoing efforts to keep the current economic and financial system going would fail. Christ told us in the Olivet Discourse that we’ll see wars, rumors of wars, commotions, etc prior to His Second Coming. In order to get this type of chaos/instability the current economic and financial system probably would have to collapse. Therefore, I would not disagree with the statement that the ongoing efforts to keep the current economic and financial system going would fail eventually. However, this by no means make Creme’s Ascended Master a reliable source of truthful information. For instance, the rest of his article attempted to present Maitreya as the hope of the world, which is complete LIE. The truth is that Jesus Christ is the Savior.


A reader asked Creme whether he was infallible. Interestingly, Creme responded by saying that neither he nor the Ascended Masters are infallible. This is actually a truthful remark because Creme has made failed predictions in the past and the Ascended Masters are evil spiritual beings who have a tendency to deceive a lot.


  • I try to be extremely careful when telling you what these sources claim because they are totally fallible. In contrast, the Bible-the Word of God-is a totally infallible source of truthful information. Psalms 119:160 says: “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever” while Christ said that scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35). As a Christian, I will side with the infallible Bible over fallible sources anytime.
  • I am not infallible either. I try my best to present information and analysis that is consistent with what the Bible says. However, I am human and I make mistakes.


The magazine also featured a section on the mysterious missile launch in California back in early November. The magazine says that the Ascended Master who advises Creme claims it was a Martian spacecraft that was launched from underwater.


  • I’ll let you decide whether to believe this claim or not…


Finally, if anyone is still tracking the alleged Maitreya television tour on American television, Creme claims that Maitreya has given 28 interviews as of December 21. As of November 14, Creme alleged that Maitreya gave 27 interviews so if you’re still tracking it you can do the math…


Overall, there was nothing Earth-shattering in the sections of the magazine that were made available online. I don’t think the Christmas Eve release has any significant meaning. Nevertheless, I hope you found this review somewhat informative.

A Warning to Christians Who Warmly Accept Esoteric/New Age Teachings

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...


There are Christians who warmly accept New Age/esoteric teachings and seek to integrate them into their religious/spiritual belief system. I know such people exist as I’ve seen a series of articles and a book from a late Methodist minister who sought to integrate New Age teachings into Christian teachings and teach Christians esoteric/New Age concepts using Christian terminology.


Today’s article is intended to alert people who warmly accept New Age/esoteric teachings that some major propagators of the teachings they follow portray Satan in such a positive light that one should seriously question who is the entity behind the teachings and information they propagate. For others, this article will demonstrate that Satan practically has his own public relations campaign going on right now for the hearts, minds, and souls of people.


Helena Blavatsky

Helena Blavatsky is the founder of modern day occultism and wrote several books under the direction the Ascended Masters (a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”). The teachings found in Blavatsky’s books serve as the underpinning on the New Age Movement and was one of Adolf Hitler’s, the seventh king of Revelation 17:10, favorite books. I mentioned in the previous blog post that Blavatsky actually praised Satan in her works. This statement cannot be refuted when you consider the following things Blavatsky wrote about Satan:


“Satan is the god of our planet, and the only god".[1]


"And now it stands proven that Satan, or Fiery Dragon, the "Lord of Phosphorus"...and Lucifer, or "Light-Bearer" is in us; it is our Mind, our Tempter, our Redeemer, our Intelligent Liberator and Saviour from pure animalism".[2]


Blavatsky described Satan in the most positive light that one possibly can if one is demented enough to try to spin something as negative as Satan into something resembling a positive. If the Ascended Masters communicated these words and others to Blavatsky, which is what many claim, then the Ascended Masters are guilty of endorsing Satan, himself, as an alternative to God.


Alice Bailey

Alice Bailey was a prolific writer of New Age teachings and whose work is highly-regarded in New Age circles. Bailey wrote twenty-four books under the direction of an Ascended Master named Djwhal Khul who supposedly gave Bailey the teachings telepathically. After reviewing some of Bailey’s work, I did not find a proactive statement about a figure named “Satan”. However, Bailey did allude to Satan when she wrote about Sanat Kumara, which another name for Satan. Hannah Newman, author of the “Rainbow Swastika”, summarizes Bailey’s teaching on Sanat Kumara (SK):


Although SK's level of enlightenment earned him the right to enter into "Nirvana", he instead made the "supreme sacrifice" of turning back to creation and taking the responsibility to create us into gods. Bailey relates that he "came down" to earth in the middle of the Lemurian age, taking physical form, and although he later returned to the spirit plane, he "has remained with us ever since." (_Initiation_, p.28-29).[3]


In other words, Bailey suggested that mankind is indebted to Sanat Kumara for leaving a glorious place to help man evolve spiritually. The false teaching that Sanat Kumara/Satan helped mankind is very similar to Blavatsky’s portrayal of Satan. If an Ascended Master named Djwhal Khul gave Bailey teachings (as many claim), then we have another case of the Ascended Masters attempting to portray Satan as an individual people should show gratitude towards.


Benjamin Creme

As many of you know, Benjamin Creme is the official spokesmen of Maitreya (the leader of the Ascended Masters). Creme claims to receive most of his information from a Himalayan-based Ascended Master (I think I’m getting close to identifying the name of this individual by the way) and he occasionally receives messages from Maitreya. Creme presents the same type of information as Blavatsky and Bailey, but in a far more clear/less threatening way. Therefore, one would expect that Creme’s characterization of Satan to be far less “offensive” to Christians than earlier characterizations…


In his section outlining the teachings of Maitreya, Creme attempts to address Christian’s concern about what 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 says in regard to Satan’s ability to masquerade as an angel of light and the idea that Maitreya could be Satan in disguise. Creme’s response is to accuse Christians of misunderstanding what Satan is and to claim that Satan is symbolic rather than a literal being:


“Satan is not a man but a symbol. He symbolizes our own separative, selfish, lower nature which, in the main, we hide by rationalizing it and seeing our motives (through the fog of illusion called glamour) as love, truth, brotherhood, etc., while they are nothing of the kind”.[4]


Relatively speaking, Creme’s response seems less “offensive” than Blavatsky, who you recall openly portrays Satan as a “redeemer”. Nevertheless, Creme falsely teaches that Satan does not exist. The opposite is true…Satan does exist and is our spiritual nemesis. For instance, a symbol cannot attempt to tempt the Son of God by offering all the kingdoms of the earth to Him nor can a symbol talk. An evil spiritual being can:


  • Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
  • Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
  • Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
  • Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
  • Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
  • Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
  • Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
  • Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
  • Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
  • Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
  • Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.


Remember that Christ warned us that Satan is the father of lies.


  • Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


Given that Satan is our spiritual nemesis, you should expect him to lie about his own nature. In order for Satan to attract followers he must present himself in a completely different way than the Bible portrays him to be. The quotes included in this article show that an attempt is being made to remake Satan’s image. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who will believe Satan’s lies and ignore or even reject the truth.


Finally, if you are a Christian who warmly incorporates New Age/esoteric teachings into your spiritual/religious belief system, how can you reconcile your acceptance of these teachings with now knowing that some of the major propagators of these teachings portray Satan in such a blasphemous manner? Rhetorical question…

Could Revelation 13:4 Be Fulfilled Literarily? The Worship of the Dragon

I spent much of my weekend reviewing a lot New Age sources in hopes of uncovering something new about the spiritual forces of evil’s plans in the present and in the future. I found some interesting tidbits of information which I plan to share in the coming days. Today I want to share some things Helena Blavatsky, the founder of modern day of occultism and a woman who worked under the direction of several Ascended Masters (a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”), wrote that might explain how Revelation 13:4 could be fulfilled in the coming one-world religion of Antichrist. Revelation 13:4 states that people will worship the dragon (Satan-Revelation 12:9) and along with the beast:


  • Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?


Author Lee Penn wrote a book called the False Dawn which is an exposé on the ongoing work to bring a one-world religion. Chapter 10 of Penn’s book is about how Blavatsky’s work serves as the underpinning of the New Age Movement and how Blavatsky predicted the coming of a one-world religion. In his section about what Blavatsky wrote concerning the coming of a one-world religion, Penn cites Blavatsky’s book Isis Unveiled where she proclaimed: “religion of the ancients is the religion of the future”.[1] Penn further researched how Blavatsky characterized the “religion of the ancients” and found that Blavatsky connected the “religion of the ancients” with dragon and sun worship.[2] The following Blavatsky quote used by Penn illustrates how she found dragon and sun worship connected with the “religion of the ancients”.[3] [4]


The tradition of the Dragon and the Sun is echoed in every part of the world, both in its civilized and semi-savage regions. It took rise in the whisperings about secret initiations among the profane, and was established universally through the once universal heliolatrous religion. There was a time when the four parts of the world were covered with the temples sacred to the Sun and the Dragon; but the cult is now preserved mostly in China and the Buddhist countries. … We find (a) the priests assuming the name of the gods they served; (b) the ‘Dragons’ held throughout all antiquity as the symbols of Immortality and Wisdom, of secret Knowledge and of Eternity; and (c) the hierophants of Egypt, of Babylon, and India, styling themselves generally the ‘sons of the Dragon’ and ‘Serpents;’ thus the teachings of the Secret Doctrine are thereby corroborated.” [5]


The "dragon" is connected with Satan in another section of Blavatsky’s writings (Blavatsky actually praised Satan in her works-a topic that I may discuss more in-depth in a separate article). Thus, I do not disagree with Penn’s suggestion that Blavatsky predicted the literal fulfillment of Revelation 13:4.


I checked the works of Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme for information concerning future dragon worship. I did not find anything concerning this in their works so one wonders if this is something they want to keep quiet, if Satan’s plan has changed, or there is something else going on... However, Revelation 13:4 is explicitly clear that the dragon (Satan) will be worshipped during the End Times so the idea that there could be literal “dragon worship” cannot be ruled out.


  • Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?


I know virtually every reader already understands that Satan is going to be worshipped in the upcoming one-world religion. What I wanted to show again in this article is that this New Age/one world religious system that others and I warn about is not your ordinary set of false teachings. This religious system is so diabolical that it may encourage followers to literally worship the dragon as perhaps its most important messenger (Blavatsky) suggested that literal dragon worship could take place when the “religion of the ancients” (the New Age religious system/Babylon the Great) returns.

Relating Bailey with the Freemasons

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...


I admit that do not know a lot about the conspiracy theories relating to the Freemasons although I know a lot of people are highly suspicious of the Freemasons. However, I suspect that people who know a lot about the Freemasons may not know that New Age priestess Alice Bailey (who worked under the direction of an Ascended Master-a type of spiritual being mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”-named Djwhal Khul) had a leadership position within the Freemasons, wrote extensively about the Freemasons, and her husband Foster Bailey was a 33rd degree Freemason.[1]


Today I am simply reporting/summarizing information about what Bailey wrote concerning Freemasonry and providing some thoughts on what her statements may mean in context of what may happen in the future. You can decide what to glean and what not to glean from the information and analysis I present today.


  • For those of you who are experts on the Freemasons: I hope the information I report has some value to you.
  • For those of you who are Freemasons: I hope you consider the information I report fairly. I am merely reporting what a major author in the New Age Movement said about Freemasonry-not making my own proclamations about the organization.


Bailey wrote about Freemasonry's role in the overall Plan (Satan’s plan), including what its purpose might be in the future. Bailey suggested the following key things about Freemasonry:


1. The organization is much more occult in nature than what is generally perceived.[2] This is quite a statement because it does nothing to dispel many people’s negative view of Freemasons.

2. The Masons preserve the mysteries through their symbols and rituals[3]: This is significant because the spiritual forces of evil’s Plan is to apparently bring back the Mysteries for the one-world religion or in other words bring back the Babylonian Mystery Religion, Babylon the Great of Revelation 17. In fact, Bailey predicted that all faiths would be unified into one religion when the Mysteries were restored.[4]


  • Foster Bailey wrote that Freemasonry is a direct descendant of the world’s first unified religion.[5]

3. The organization represents the start of the spiritual hierarchy’s (the spiritual forces of evil) future effort to restore the ancient Mysteries.[6] This is an interesting statement because there is a connection between Freemasonry and the religion of ancient Babylon.


  • The following link is an article about the link that exists between Freemasonry and the ancient Mysteries, including a section on the link between Freemasonry and the religion of ancient Babylon: Link

Note: Even though I provided a link to an article it does not mean I am necessarily endorsing the entire website. I only provided the link to the article for potential educational purposes as the author of the article cites numerous sources. Please use discretion if you choose to review other aspects of the website where the linked article can be found).


Bailey predicted a transformation in the nature of Freemasonry. She wrote that Freemasonry had been corrupted through time and lost its way with its political and social causes.[7] In other words, Freemasonry was not as occultly or esoterically-driven as Bailey would have preferred. She predicted that Freemasonry would regain its old spiritual form in time for the New Age.[8]


  • I’m not an expert in Freemasonry so I can’t comment on whether this process is actually underway. If you are an expert on Freemasonry it would be interesting to hear whether you’ve noticed a change in Freemasonry back towards what it was in the past.


Finally, I scanned Benjamin Creme’s (the official spokesmen of Maitreya-the leader of the Ascended Masters) website for further information concerning the Freemasons. There’s no information concerning the Freemasons specifically on his website. However, Creme suggested in a book that the New Age initiation ceremony-the ceremony where the Mark of the Beast could potentially be given-would be based on Masonic tradition.[9]


  • I did find a couple of articles which mentioned that Creme has given lectures at San Francisco’s Masonic Center, which is owned by the local Freemason chapter. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about that piece of information…


In sum, the information I’ve reported today suggests that Freemasonry is playing a supplementary role in the future rise of Babylon the Great. The information I’ve reported also implies there is a connection/relationship between Freemasonry and the New Age Movement. How strong this connection is remains to be seen…

A False Teaching Backfires to Show that Hitler Belonged to the Spiritual Forces of Evil

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...


Adolf Hitler, the seventh king of the Revelation 17:10, is a big problem for the spiritual forces of evil. Hitler was a devout follower of Helena Blavatsky’s teachings, was initiated into/was a practitioner of the occult, and believed in the coming of Maitreya (the leader of the Ascended Masters-a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places” and an individual who Hitler referred to in private as “the messiah” who would come after him).


  • Hitler is a public relations disaster for them since he is considered one of the most evil men of all time. The spiritual forces of evil are not going to gain new followers if people found out that the teachings they promote were the teachings that Hitler believed in and tried to instill on the German nation.


I’ve noticed that the spiritual forces of evil attempt to distance themselves from Hitler in statements supplied through their human messengers by acknowledging that Hitler was controlled by an evil power while claiming that they represent the side of good or the "forces of light". For instance, a human channeler for Ascended Master Djwhal Khul (the one who telepathically gave messages to Alice Bailey to transcribe in volumes of books) reported that the high-level fallen angel said the following about Hitler [parenthesis added by me]:


“Djwhal Khul has told me that Adolph Hitler was a walk-in [a “walk-in” is a person who voluntarily surrenders their physical body to be inhabited by one of Satan’s spiritual agents] The Dark Brotherhood facilitated the shifting of one of their high ranking members into Hitler's body. Adolph Hitler was on the dark path himself before he left, but the new entity was even darker in consciousness”.[1]


It is acknowledged in this statement that Hitler was controlled by an evil power, but there is no association made between the evil power controlling Hitler and Djwhal Khul. This is one of many examples where the spiritual forces of evil attempt to deny association between them and Hitler. Nevertheless, one teaching promoted by the spiritual forces of evil undermines their denials about Hitler’s association with them. Today I’ll share with you this teaching which undermines their denials.


  • Disclaimer: I do not endorse the actual teaching that I’ll present since I am a Christian and write from a Christian perspective. I believe this teaching does not have any validity to it, is unbiblical, and is an elaborate lie that is designed to later encourage people to accept the Mark of the Beast. However, I provide background information on the teaching so that I can show you that an implication of this teaching the spiritual forces of evil promote is an indirect acknowledgment that Adolf Hitler was one of their very own agents and show you that unlike biblical teachings (which are infallible), the teachings promoted by the spiritual forces of evil are contradictory.


The writings of Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme (official spokesmen of Maitreya) mention a rating system that describes one’s supposed degree of spiritual evolution or spiritual initiation. The rating system includes ten levels of initiation or ten degrees of initiation (if you are familiar with Freemasonry you can think of it as degrees of initiation).


Bailey and Creme state that the Ascended Masters seek to prepare humanity for the first-degree of initiation, the initiation process that New Age author David Spangler referred to as the “luciferic initiation” and the initiation process I suspect is associated with the giving of the Mark of the Beast. [2] The idea that is taught and is probably going to be emphasized in the one-world religion is that people will have to opportunity to evolve spiritually, but to begin the path of spiritual evolution one must undergo the initiation process.


In an attempt to give the rating system more appeal to potential believers, Bailey and Creme teach that many major historic figures were initiates of various degrees. They claim some extraordinary figures like Shakespeare and Michelangelo were initiates beyond the third degree. They even make blasphemous claims by stating certain biblical figures and historical religious figures were high-level initiates as well.


  • For people who believe that world leaders are up to no good here’s something for you to consider: Creme wrote that the majority of world leaders today are at level 1.6 on the initiation scale.[3]
  • Bailey and Creme teach that a person supposedly becomes an Ascended Master when they achieve the fifth degree of initiation; giving them level 5.0.
  • It is taught that Sanat Kumara (Satan) is a tenth-degree initiate while Maitreya (the leader of the Ascended Masters) is a seventh-degree initiate.


The rating system teaching actually works to undermine the spiritual forces of evil’s denials about Hitler. For instance, Creme has a peculiar statement on his website about Hitler when addressing a frequently asked question about him: Creme states that Hitler was a second-degree initiate:


“Hitler was actually a fairly evolved individual, a second-degree initiate; that is, he was two-fifths of the way along the path to becoming a Master. But even when the second initiation is taken, the person is only potentially divine... Occasionally, however, there is a rotten egg in the basket. Hitler was one of these, a deeply evil personality. Because he was of the second degree, he had power and could be powerfully used, obsessed, by the forces of evil - like vibration attracted like vibration”.[4]


Although Creme attempts to distance the spiritual forces behind the rating system from Hitler, he still associates Hitler with these spiritual forces by stating he was on the path to become an Ascended Master. In addition, the Ascended Master that advises Creme made a statement (through Creme) about the initiation process that strongly implies that Hitler was working to fulfill Sanat Kumara’s (the godhead of the New Age Movement/Satan) Plan by being a second-degree initiate:


“Each initiation confers on the initiate a deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose behind God's Plan, a fuller awareness of his part within that Plan, and an increasing ability to work consciously and intelligently towards its fulfillment”.[5]


By the Ascended Master’s own logic and teaching, Hitler was someone who worked to achieve the Plan since each new initiation level supposedly increases ones understanding of the Plan and one’s ability to work towards fulfilling the Plan.


Again, let me state that I believe the rating system/initiation teaching given by the spiritual forces of evil is an elaborate lie to later get people to accept the Mark of the Beast. The teaching has no validity with me nor is it a teaching that could be supported by the Bible. However, I thought I would share the teaching because an implication of the teaching is that the spiritual forces of evil admit something that they generally deny, which is that Hitler is an individual who worked for them.

Different Voices on the Dangers of the New Age

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.

Last night I reviewed the work of a couple of other experts on the dangers of the New Age Movement to see if there is some concept that I could further expand upon in a future writing piece. As I reviewed their work I decided that it would be a good idea to share a little bit of what they’ve written so that you have perspectives besides my own about why you should be cognizant of the danger the New Age Movement poses.


  • If you are a new reader and have little idea about what the New Age Movement is I urge you to read this article and read other articles to learn more about the dangers this movement poses.


Christian lawyer Constance Cumbey owns and has researched virtually every major book published by New Age/occult writers. She has authored several books and given several lectures about the dangers of the New Age Movement. Cumbey warned in her seminal work The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow that Christians, Jews, or anyone else should not underestimate or ignore the New Age Movement, particularly figures like Benjamin Creme, and noted that there is far more work behind the promulgation of the movement than the average person believes:


The danger to both Jews and Christians should not be underestimated. Benjamin Creme's announcement of "Maitreya the Christ" is the culmination of over 100 years of meticulous planning and labor by those seeking this "Age of Aquarius." They have garnered the support of some of the most powerful and influential individuals in the world.[1]


(You can find more on Creme and Maitreya here)


A second assessment of the New Age Movement is provided by Hannah Newman, a Jewish researcher who provides her manuscript the Rainbow Swastika for free at the following website: Link. Newman argues to Jews and non-Jews that disregarding those who warn about the dangers of the New Age Movement is dangerous:


I have heard from skeptics who don't doubt the existence of a New Age conspiracy (benevolent or otherwise), and who recognize the danger to the Jewish people, but who are sure that such a movement will never have the world support to pull off its agenda. They point to the repeated postponements of New Age predictions of a World Teacher emerging by a certain date to guide mankind into a 'planetary (Luciferic) initiation', a one-world government and a "new age". These delays are actually the result of Divine veto - for now - which New Agers indirectly acknowledge and which they unable to circumvent. To attribute these glitches to a disorganized movement is dangerous, and ignores the fact that the growth of New Age influence worldwide is solidifying exponentially each year.[2]


Like Cumbey, Newman recognizes that the rapidly growing New Age Movement is a culmination of a lot of prior religious work:


The premises of New Age (NA hereafter), sometimes called the New World Order, are most clearly mapped out in a religious society called Theosophy (founded 1875 by Helena Blavatsky), which coined many of the "code words" found in this material and which remains a prime source for piecing together NA foundations. Most if not all of NA concepts predate Theosophy, as its founder freely admitted. They borrowed heavily from classical Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, with large doses of Gnosticism, astrology and other occultic power-quests. So despite the name "New" Age, we are surveying an ancient system of worship, found in various forms around the world (Babylonian, Egyptian, Norse, Atlantian, Pan/animist, American Indian, and other religions dependent on enpowerment from various spirit-guides). This is why New Age teaching is so easily adapted to so many cultures. Alice Bailey, the next major NA leader, "channeled" the extensive directives for the framework of the New Age -- what she called the New World Order -- and fully subscribed to Theosophy as well.[3]


What is the danger that the New Age Movement poses? Cumbey and Newman both recognize that a goal/The Plan is to eradicate Christianity and Judaism.


Cumbey notes:


But there is more to The Plan - they intend to utterly root out people who believe the Bible and worship God and to completely stamp out Christianity.


They have stated that they plan to outlaw all present religious practices and symbols of orthodox Jews and Christians. The Movement is working quickly and efficiently to execute its scheme to take control of the world for Maitreya.[4]


Newman notes [added by me]:


In short, they [major spiritual figures in the New Age Movement called “the spiritual hierarchy”] plan to launch (or re-open) a religious war-to-end-all-wars, without which the New World Order cannot be fully established. That is why the "worn-out Jewish dispensation", which includes a certain strain of Christianity as an offshoot, is to be outlawed and replaced by the "New World Religion". This will be mandatory and will have to be imposed ("in any way possible") for the good of all.[5]

Matthew 24:5 and Sathya Sai Baba

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...


A reader asked me for my thoughts on Sathya Sai Baba, the leader of a very large religious movement in India and a man who Benjamin Creme (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) speaks about in glowing terms. The reader also asked me how Sathya Sai Baba should be viewed in biblical terms given that Creme views him so highly.


I’ve been curious about Sathya Sai Baba for awhile since I’ve encountered his name periodically while studying the unbiblical teachings of Creme. I’ve spent some time over the past few days investigating Sathya Sai Baba to determine how this religious figure should be viewed. Today I’ll my thoughts on Sathya Sai Baba, including how he should be viewed in Christian terms.


Sathya Sai Baba has an estimated following ranging in the millions (I saw one estimate as high as 100 million people). Some followers consider Sathya Sai Baba a god-man who should be worshiped as God. Interestingly, Sathya Sai Baba promotes the unity of all religions: he attempts to incorporate religious teachings from all faiths into his own religious movement and states that his teachings are aligned with the teachings of the world’s major faiths, which he preaches was created by the same God.


  • This is consistent with New Age teachings and the teachings people are likely going to see promoted in the upcoming One World Religion, Babylon the Great.


However, Sathya Sai Baba has outwardly implied that he is the Second Coming of Christ to his followers. Sathya Sai Baba was once quoted saying the following:


"‘He who sent me among you will come again,’" and he [Sai Baba] pointed to a lamb. “The lamb is just a symbol, a sign. It stands for the voice: ‘Ba ba;’ the announcement was of the advent of Baba. ‘His name will be Truth,’ Christ declared. ‘Satya’ means Truth. ‘He wears a robe of red, a blood red robe.’” Here Sai Baba pointed to the robe he was wearing. "‘He will be short, with a crown (of hair)’ The lamb is the sign and symbol of love. Christ did not declare that he would come again; he said, "He who has sent me will come again" That Ba Ba is this Baba.[1]


Someone might need to send Sathya Sai Baba a Bible because the real Christ said that He, Himself (not Sathya Sai Baba), would come again.


  • Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
  • Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.


Benjamin Creme has a high regard for Sathya Sai Baba by comparing him to Maitreya in terms of his importance. Creme claims that Sathya Sai Baba is a “cosmic avatar”, which is the incarnation of an advanced, spiritual being at the cosmic level (I'm not totally sure what "cosmic" means but it is probably not a level on Earth), while Maitreya is a “planetary avatar” [2]. Creme claims both possess an energy called the “Christ Consciousness”, which you recall is a deceptive name for an evil energy that’ll likely prepare people for an End Times initiation ceremony that is likely associated with the giving of the Mark of the Beast (for more on this can be found in my report about 2012).[3]


One of Creme’s followers once asked him about Sathya Sai Baba’s claim to be the Second Coming of Christ. Creme argued that Sathya Sai Baba meant to say is that his previous incarnation made the decision to send Christ 2000 years ago to the world and that Christ proclaimed that Sathya Sai Baba would come again.[4]


  • This is an example of blasphemy at its highest level. The statement is completely unbiblical, but this is to be expected with Creme.


I’ve read some articles that mention claims that Sathya Sai Baba had the ability to materialize ash and golden objects out of thin air. On the other hand, there are people who believe Sathya Sai Baba performs illusionary tricks like a magician to deceive people into believing that he is a god-man. Here is a video critiquing Sathya Sai Baba’s alleged “miracles” for signs that he is performing illusionary tricks: Link



I’ll let you be the judge of whether Sathya Sai Baba is materializing items out of thin air or is using illusionary techniques to deceive people...


Overall, I view Sathya Sai Baba as a premiere example of a false Christ that the real Christ warned that we would see prior to His Second Coming in the birth pangs period.


  • Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
  • Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
  • Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
  • Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.


Creme’s high praise for Sathya Sai Baba is probably an attempt by him to draw people to Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings, which are consistent with his own and the teachings the spiritual forces of evil want to promote. Perhaps an evil spirit possesses or influences Sathya Sai Baba to deceive millions of people, but Sathya Sai Baba is not comparable to the real Christ. Even if Sathya Sai Baba is acting under his own volition, he is a man that has a major messianic complex.

More Insight into the “Spiritual Wickedness in High Places” Mentioned in Ephesians 6:12

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...


Several months ago I wrote a detailed analysis of one of the most interesting, yet relatively under-discussed chapters in the entire Bible: Ephesians 6:12.


  • Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


I wrote that “the spiritual wickedness in high places” is represented by a group of spiritual beings called the “Ascended Masters” since messengers who write under the direction of the spiritual forces of evil actually describe the Ascended Masters as beings that live in high places and beings that work as administrators of their god’s (Satan) plan.


Today I want to reexamine a detail concerning the Ascended Masters to further illustrate my point that these spiritual beings represent “the spiritual wickedness in high places” in Ephesians 6:12: the detail about them operating in "high places"


Benjamin Creme (the official spokesmen of Maitreya, the leader of the Ascended Masters) actually specified the locations of high-elevation places where he claimed the Ascended Masters lived at. The following table summarizes the high-elevation places where Creme claims the Ascended Masters have lived at[1]:


Mountain Range Name

Highest Elevation (in feet)

Andes

22,841

Atlas

13,671

Carpathians

8,711

Cascades

14,411

Himalayas

29,029

Rocky Mountains

14,440

Urals

6,217


New Age author Alice Bailey (who worked under the direction of an Ascended Master named Djwhal Khul) wrote that an Ascended Master hotspot was a secluded spot in the Himalayas called Shigatse (Shigatze), elevation 12792 ft or nearly 3900 meters.


  • I noticed that Shigatse is actually a city in Tibet and is reportedly the location where Helana P. Blavatsky (Adolf Hitler’s favorite author and founder of the modern day occultism) received her training from the Ascended Masters and worked under the direction of the Ascended Masters (here is an alleged picture of Blavatsky with a few of the Ascended Masters in human form: link).


(Who would have imagined? The Bible says there are spiritual forces in high places and there are actually evil spiritual forces that have operated high-elevation places. Again, this demonstrates that the Bible is infallible and the ongoing spiritual warfare is real.)


In addition, Creme added that the Ascended Masters also lived at the Gobi Desert and other remote deserts on Earth.


  • The messengers of evil claim that the Earth headquarters of Sanat Kumara (Satan) and his minions is located above the inhospitable Gobi Desert. They claim that Satan Kumara's headquarters cannot be seen unless they possess “etheric version” or the vision that enables you to see spiritual entities (an ability you want to avoid having at all costs).


It’s unclear how many Ascended Masters still live in these remote areas. Creme claims some of the Ascended Masters eventually moved to certain locations across the globe to “transform the world out of all recognition”.[2] In other words, the Ascended Masters are working behind-the-scenes to prepare the world for the arrival of the Antichrist.


Studying what the messengers of evil have to say about the Ascended Masters reminds me of the expression “if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck”. The Ascended Masters are “the spiritual wickedness in high places” because they match the role perfectly. They are elite fallen angels who operate in high places. Hopefully, my goose isn’t cooked for exposing them and hopefully this is the last time I ever use expressions relating to ducks.
