Peace be with you all this Holy season..........even if we celebrate it at the wrong time of year.
I was reading about the three oriental kings who were following the Nativity Star to Judea in search of the birthplace of Messiah. I don't want to get into too much discussion as to the history of their religion, their beliefs, their astrology, numerology or their ancient EASTERN prophecies that led them to the manger and the Messiah at His birth.
At first I thought to place this thread in the GT board so I could get more responses from a broader group of brothers and sisters, but with the eschatological leanings I figured rather than have it moved, I'd put it here to start.
As I was reading the Biblical origins of the 3 eastern Kings/Wise Men/Magii I began to wonder how such men would have come about Biblical prophecies and how it was God the Father would and WHY He led them to God the Son.
For a certainty these men were not Jews, keepers of the Law, and except for their acceptance of Christ Jesus, would be considered damned under that Law.
The other ancient religions all prophesy of another "messiah" coming to rescue humanity from heavenly disaster. Some of these refer to this coming "messiah" as an alien/space man, others as a religious leader, others as a group of wise men led by the "one".
We, as Christians, KNOW their is but ONE Messiah, ONE way to the Father, and He came, died as prophesied and saved us from any disaster by giving us the keys to the Kingdom, Salvation.
But another is prophesied to come in his own name, and most all Christendom, Judaism, and Islam believe this coming "messiah" to be the antichrist, the one that will oppose the TRUE Messiah, Jesus, and claim to be saviour for all, and eventually will be overcome by the TRUE Messiah Jesus.
I suppose that what i am getting at is this....................the eastern religions are based entirely off the presumption that man can achieve godhood, and even certain element of Christianity believe that we, being a part of Christ, acting in His name as we do works on earth, are His Body. Don't lose me here......... We have heard this same nonsense once, in the garden, that through the knowledge outside of the limited understanding of the 1 rule(Do not eat.....), we can become gods ourselves. We fell for this once, and apparently, the eastern religions have mostly embraced the fall, and some, while appearing good in nature(works, compassion, empathy, etc) still cling to this gnostic heresy. That if man can elevate his consciousness, he can transcend the flesh and achieve enlightenment, and ultimate enlightenment is godliness.
So.........with that said.......the blending of the Abramic faiths, the eastern pagan, satanic faiths, and the gnostic luciferian faith like Free Masonry etc has finally taken a form, commonly called theosophy or New Age.
These eastern philosophies have invade the Abramic faiths through innocent means........meditation(looks like prayer, feels like prayer, but to whom are we praying.....OURSELVES). Yoga. Same deceptions, just in physical expression. Even the martial arts are so beautifully tainted by this deceit.
Now, in 2011, the eastern blend of religions are heralding the coming of the new messiah....known to some as maitreyas....and these "wise men" masters of wisdom, are heralding the signs of his coming.
This looks like such a counterfeit of our Nativity. And these have been heralding this coming since the death of Aleister Crowley. MOF, it seems 1977 was a year for a birth......perhaps the year of it's birth, that is the a/c's birth. 1982 would also be a good yr for such a birth, as would 88. But perhaps such dates are arrivals of false "messiahs" onto the scene, but not the antichrist himself.
With the coming of winter solstice 2012 fast approaching, and the coming of the comet (?) whichever during this cycle, and the formation of the melting pot that is New Age and the leaders within it known as Wise Men and their political leadership over the globe...........Does ANYONE else smell a rat?
Sorry to dampen the Spirit of OUR season, but clearly something is going on, and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas as to the counterfeit "wise men" and their constant searching for the maitreyas star to herald his arrival.
