"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit" (Isaiah 14:12-15) The throne has always been Satan's supreme ambition. Kabbalist theology is the most potent thing he has ever devised to attain his goal - it is an attack on the very throne of God. A broadside attack against the word of God itself. A tightly guarded secret for centuries, now, suddenly, the decision has been made to popularize it. It's propaganda will assuredly "weaken the nations" towards Satan's ancient ambition of displacing God. It is Satan's "replacement theology." It replaces the old fashioned fear of God, accountability to God for our lives, and reverence towards a personal God, with the idolatry of pantheism and humanism. A replacement of Apostolic exclusivism and national patriotism with utopian one world universalism. A replacement of the Bible as the absolute spiritual authority by a system of extra-biblical knowledge and intellectualism purporting to be superior to even the Bible. Everything man calls "Humanism" is going to take a back seat to this. Here is the very epitome of Humanism. It takes up where New Age occultism leaves off. Here, to the brainwashed masses who chafe at the Bible, and at the very thought of a personal God who is going to require accountability for their sinful lives, is the answer. And is the world ever ripe and ready for it! It is an intellectual system that attempts to wrest control of the universe from God and give it to humanity. To be more specific, to the Kabbalists, who's mission, they believe - as elite custodians of this perverse theosophy - is to guide the rest of the world into this ultimate form of Humanism. Our poor deceived Dispensationalists and Pre-tribs are in for a shock, they believe Jewish Kabbalists are "the people of God" - what they don't know is Kabbalism believes themselves to be not only "the people of God" but "the God people!" Deceptively packaged as ancient Jewish wisdom; Humanists of every stripe, the Eastern Religions, New Agers, Masons and the secret orders, practitioners of witchcraft, Trinitarians, and Dispensationalists of every variety will eventually submit to the Kabbalist's claim to preeminence in religion and occultism. This "strong delusion" (2 Thes. 2:11) plays a major role in the apostasy preceding the man of sin (2 Thes. 2:3). Up till now the Babylonian wine (Rev. 14:8) has been dispensed to the world indirectly, under many guises; now with the advent of worldwide Kabbalist "learning centers," they will drink it straight from the cup! The "Pop goes the Kabbalah" article in the recent issue of TIME magazine (the fall of 1997) shows Kabbalists wearing solid white garments. Here's something we should sit up and take notice of! The world has been accustomed, for several thousand years now, of seeing Rabbis dressed in solid black. Here, we have something new indeed! Rabbis depict themselves in the ancient symbol of sackcloth by the wearing of solid black - why the sudden switch? Their writings indicate that they believe the long period of exile, indicated by their wearing of black, is about over. The long-awaited unity of the Kabbalist Godhead - the exiled "Shekhinah," the female god of the Kabbalah, with the male God of the Kabbalah - is imminent. Kabbalist Rabbis, by the practice of ceremonial sorcery, seek to magically alter events of the world - mainly the lessening of opposition to the Kabbalist agenda and the hastening of the appearance of their Messiah (whom we know is the antichrist). The Talmud dictates the wearing of white clothes when an enemy of God has perished. Occult timing and world events have led Kabbalists to believe that their spiritual enemies have been defeated; opposition to their plans has weakened to such a point that it is time to come out of the tightly guarded secrecy the Kabbalah has been shrouded in for centuries, time to put on white garments, time for "Pop goes the Kabbalah!". They believe their Messiah is near, the Kabbalist-led occult world utopia is just around the corner. Jesus Christ gave the response to Kabbalist propaganda in Matt. 23:15. It is straight out of Hell. And those who are proselytized by it are the "children of Hell." The Pharisees are the original Kabbalists.
