The CIA Plan to Compromise Christianity
One of the most erroneous teachings pervading the churches today is the teaching about "the Antichrist." If you listen to many so-called "Bible Teachers," your mind will accumulate a body of fiction that will take years of real Bible Study to extract. Whether you are watching the Thief in the Night series done in the 1970s, the Lalonde Brothers Tribulation series promoted by Jack van Impe or the Tim LaHaye/Jerry Jenkins Left Behind series, you will do nothing more than accumulate a body of fiction that bears no relationship to the teachings of the Bible. In fact, some teachers like Olaf Hage argue that this version of future history was generated by alleged Satanist and Director of Central Intelligence, Allen Dulles (pictured to the right), and his minions at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to control the thinking of the Conservative Christian Community. Their objective was to convince these Christians that Jesus Christ was coming back in the latter quarter of the 20th Century. Once they did that, Christianity would become skewed toward prophecy and less toward living the Christian life.
Once the CIA developed their new theology, they fed it to professors at some of the major conservative seminaries and other Bible Colleges. These professors would then share these teachings with their students. One of the students who received this information was Hal Lindsey, author of the 1970 New York Times best-seller, The Late Great Planet Earth. This book became the foundation for much of the prophetic teaching in Evangelical, Conservative, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches. After this book was released, people in these circles began carrying around Lindsey's book along with their Bibles. It was not long before Rev. Lindsey became one of the more prolific writers in the Christian world. His early books sold in the millions. Before long, the Conservative Christian Community had begun to lose its focus and center its ministries on prophetic subjects.
Much of the "end of the world" teaching coming out of the churches in the late 20th Century brought a lot of fear to the Christian community. This came to a head when Dr. Gary North and others warned about a major computer system crash the media simply called "Y2K." They argued starting in 1996 that because computer systems had only two digits for the year (e.g. 1996 was input at "96"), but when they reached 2000, the computers would read zeros. As a result, companies all over the world dug out every computer programmer they could find and put them to work correcting the defective computer programs. Most companies finished their work by the middle of 1999. Microsoft and Apple send Y2K compliant fixes to their software in July of 1999. Y2K proved to be a non-event and many ministries folded because people were no longer interested in supporting prophetic ministries.
The prophecy teachings had gotten Christians centered on themselves and having that special edge on life. When the prophecy teachings did not work out, conservative ministries were obliged to either embrace the neo-liberalism of Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and others teaching the "purpose-driven" doctrine, or start teaching the "prosperity gospel" of E.W. Kenyon through the various televangelists working through Trinity Broadcasting Network like Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and a host of others. Instead of living the Christian community concept, the CIA gospel convinced Christians to be self-centered.
Learning the Truth
When Christians begin to learn the truth about the Antichrist spirit, they often go into shock. Almost everything they have been taught in their conservative Christian churches has been proven to be false. The worst part is that they have fallen prey to the very spirit they thought they knew "everything about." While they were looking for some evil end-time world leader, they did not realize that the Antichrist was right in their church, sometimes standing in the pulpit. Their pastor was turning out to be one of the many Antichrists that the Apostle John warned about.
Let us start at the beginning. Nowhere in the Bible is there a teaching about there being just one Antichrist, and
furthermore, it is not, nor will it ever be a human being. It is a spiritual
being, an evil and insidious being, corrupting and being
corrupted. It lurks in the background of the Christian community, searching
for any opportunity to weave its way into the fabric of as many Christian lives
as it can. When you read about these evil beings in the books of I John and II
John, you learn quickly that these beings search for individuals with leadership
potential. Once they have acquired a target, they find ways to possess them, and
then use them in leadership positions in the churches, communities, and
governmental entities. Once they have inserted themselves into leadership
positions, they begin the process of taking the place of Jesus Christ into the
lives of Christians.
How do they do this? They employ the Nicolaitane Doctrine identified by Jesus Christ in Revelation 2:6, 15. This evil doctrine teaches that there are two classes of Christians: the "exalted leaders" and the common people. The "exalted leaders" do all the ministry, while the commoners sit in the pews and received the gems of wisdom the "exalted leaders" hand out. The Nicolaitane system places the "exalted leaders" on the proverbial pedestal while the commoners are obliged to finance the entire operation. The "exalted leaders" live deliciously while the commoners are expected to give sacrificially to "support their ministries." The goal of the "exalted leader" is to replace Jesus Christ in the lives of the commoners. When the commoner has problems, they are to call upon the "exalted leader" and ask him what they should do. Before long, the church creates a dependency relationship between the commoner and the "exalted leader."
The Bible teaches that Christians are supposed to have a personal relationship with G_d the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. When they need direction in their lives, they can count on the Holy Spirit to gently guide them in the direction they need to go. The Antichrist "exalted leader" wants you to follow them and obey what they tell you. They also want you to part with your money so they can live their exalted lifestyle. Some of the Antichrist ministries show themselves when they collect millions and then build multi-million dollar homes and offices. They further show themselves for what they are when they engage in gross sin such as extra-marital relationships and even homosexuality. Remember, a Christian follows Yeshua the Messiah. If you are following an Antichrist, it is time to break off the relationship and confess your sin to the LORD. He will forgive you and His Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. |
