Last time, we focused on commonalities between the New Age, Dominionism, and New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). The one main connection is that all three of these groups believe that, due in large part to humanity’s efforts, a new age will dawn leading to the coming of a person known as “the Christ,” Maitreya, or Jesus. Unfortunately, their efforts will simply bring us to the point where the Antichrist, not Jesus Christ, will step up onto the world’s stage and rule humanity as the final human king first revealed in the book of Daniel. Antichrist will oversee what many Bible scholars refer to as the Revised Roman Empire.
These groups, because of their common ideology, may actually wind up working together toward their shared goal. It’s easy to see NAR welcoming anyone from the New Age into their midst because the true Gospel is rarely, if ever preached with clarity. It’s all about signs, wonders, and manifestations of God and any seeker can join in.
So we’re getting to a point where we may see more cooperation between these three groups, but what about now? What is happening throughout the world that may be laying the groundwork for what’s coming?
Since the election of President Donald Trump, the haters, led by the media, politicians, and celebrities, have unleashed unprecedented attacks on him and his family. They have done everything possible to bring him down and/or nullify his presidency. Yet, in spite of this, Trump has persevered and made some great gains for America and Americans.
Unfortunately, President Trump has been surrounded by Dominionists and NARapostles/prophets from the beginning. When we see a photo of Trump in the Oval Office encircled by people laying their hands on him and bowing in prayer, we understand that these individuals are largely Dominionists, proponents of NAR, or Kingdom Now ideology. What this means is that their basic intent is to not only improve the situation in America, but to fully subdue the powers and principalities in the spiritual realm in order to bring about a massive change in the world so that Jesus can return. This belief in spiritual warfare runs rampant within NAR and Kingdom Now. These people believe that as we literally take on the powers of darkness directly (and subdue them), in the power of Christ, victories are gained, ground recovered, and the battle is being won.
Interestingly enough, most who are seriously involved in the New Age believe the same type of thing, but use different terminology. Instead of the power of Christ and prayer, they believe in the power of the Christ consciousness and the power of positive energy. It’s an important distinction yet in many ways, it’s simply two sides of the same coin where New Age and NAR are concerned.
Another thing that both groups speak of is the travail that will occur prior to the peace that is coming to this earth. But biblical Christianity also speaks of the fact that the worst time on earth will yet occur in the future, called The Tribulation (Matthew 24), which is brought to an end by the physical return of Jesus and begins 1,000 of actual peace throughout the world because of His rule.
Dominionists, NAR, and Kingdom Now people all believe people within Christendom must work to subdue the world for Jesus and it involves a great deal of effort on our part. This effort will of necessity include many manifestations of God (they believe), empowering those who come to Him for the purpose of fighting the enemy of our souls in the spiritual realm. It’s really an absolutely absurd belief when all is said and done. Prayer is certainly powerful, but only as it is used to align our thinking, desires, and will with God’s.
