to deceive. John Randolph Price, a New Age leader, said that “there are more than half a billion<br />

New Age advocates on the planet at this time, working among various religious groups.” It is<br />

likely that the New Age movement will be the vehicle that will dilute the major religions enough,<br />

so that they will be able to find enough common ground to join together in a new World<br />

Religion.<br />

THE WORLD CHURCH<br />

Just as there have been signs that the political powers of this world are coming together in a<br />

New World Order, so it has been with the Church. The establishment of a World Church would<br />

seem to go hand-in-hand with a World Government. We will go back to the early history of man,<br />

and follow the history of the church, and what its relationship may be to the World Church.<br />

In the Bible, according to the book of Genesis, Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem, and<br />

Japheth. Ham had a son by the name of Cush, and Cush’s son was called Nimrod, and was<br />

known as the “mighty hunter.” It was Nimrod who attempted to build a tower that would reach to<br />

Heaven. God confused their language, so they couldn’t understand each other, and they were<br />

scattered over the face of the Earth. Nimrod (purported to be the founder of Masonry) established<br />

a religious system, with the help of his mother and father, to control the people through political<br />

methods. This was the beginning of the occult, which became known as Baal (Satan) worship. A<br />

common practice was to sacrifice babies.<br />

Nimrod’s great-uncle Shem became so enraged over Nimrod’s activities, and with the help of<br />

a group of Egyptians, killed him, chopped his body up into little pieces, and sent the pieces to<br />

different cities as a warning to those who dabbled in the occult.<br />

Nimrod’s mother, Semiramis (who had married her son Nimrod), took over the religion, and<br />

proclaimed Nimrod a god. She gathered all of Nimrod’s pieces, except for his penis, which she<br />

couldn’t find. She created the symbol of the obelisk and established phallus worship. She<br />

claimed that an Evergreen tree sprouted from a tree stump, which she said indicated the entry of<br />

new life into the deceased Nimrod. Every year on the anniversary of Nimrod’s birth, said to be<br />

on December 25th, she would leave gifts at this Evergreen tree, which was the origin of the<br />

Christmas tree.<br />

The religion was pushed underground. Those joining had to take oaths of secrecy, and had to<br />

tell their priests everything they did wrong. In this way, via the ‘confessional,’ they could<br />

blackmail anyone who didn’t yield to their will. Semiramis became known as the ‘Queen of<br />

Heaven’ and was symbolized by the figure of the Moon. Nimrod, her son/husband, was now<br />

called Baal, the Sun God, or the ‘Divine Son of Heaven.’ Statues were produced showing<br />

Semiramis holding the baby Nimrod.<br />

When Babylon fell, the religion grew in Egypt and Pergamos (in Asia Minor), where<br />

Semiramis became known as Isis, and Nimrod became known as Horus (or Osiris) the Sun God.<br />

In Deuteronomy 4:19, Moses warned against Sun worship. In other lands, forms of Baal worship<br />

became dominant among various religious practices. In China, Semiramis was called ‘Sing Moo’<br />

(‘Holy Mother’); in ancient Phoenecia, she was called ‘Ashtoreth,’ and in Asia Minor, ‘Diana.’<br />

So, God established a nation of Jews, called Israel, and gave them laws to live by. They were<br />

to be the light to a world ravaged with sin, but they too became caught up in idol worship. Even
