FALSE ESCHATOLOGY ARISING!

COSMS, CODES, AND CRYPTOLOGIES, Part 4

Eschatology is changing. 

Scripture no longer seems sufficient to many believers who are now beginning to incorporate the added elements of mythology, science fiction, technology, apocrypha, ancient occult prophecies, ghost stories, Freemasonry, fables and pure fiction. All of these additions go far beyond Scripture and result in creating an entirely new theology, particularly a new hybrid eschatology about the Lord's return. 

This new eschatology theology is Hollywoodized. It is very dramatic and exciting. It includes speculations about the return of extraterrestrials, space aliens, mythological creatures, Nephilim, star wars, and other fantastic events and strange entities. This new eschatology seems more like reading Marvel Comics, or listening to Art Bell's old Coast to Coast radio program, or watching The Avengers and other recent Hollywood films of its genre. 

Quantum Physics, new theories about the space/time continuum, and newly emerging technologies are rapidly being incorporated into biblical prophecy. There are wild speculations abounding about human hybrids. And there is increasing credence in the old Mayan prophecies about the significance of the year 2012

All of this is changing popular End-Time Biblical Prophecy scenarios. Many sincere believers, who formerly would have shuddered to think of adding in occult prophecies to the what the Bible already tells us, now seem entranced by the mixture. They are captivated by these dramatic imageries.

But is all this biblical?
Is this what Jesus told us about His return?

THE EMERGING ENIGMA BIBLE

By Gaylene Goodroad

COSMS, CODES, AND CRYPTOLOGIES, Part 3

...[O]nce someone decides they can cherry-pick verses at will,
change the meaning of these texts to fit his theories
and use random hermeneutical methods,
anything can be “proven.”

—Pastor Gary Gilley*

 

ENIGMA: A saying, question, picture, etc., containing a hidden meaning.**

The study of “cosmic codes” and related occult methodologies did not originate with Chuck Missler, but from the ancient sages and Jewish mystics who generated the occult body of mystical writings called the Kabbalah.

Missler acknowledges this fact himself in Chapter 10 of Cosmic Codes called, “The Skipping of Letters.” He favorably examines the teachings of a few of these Kabbalistic  scholars—men such as 12th century Rabbi Moses ben Nachmanides, and 18th century rabbi, Eliyahu ben Shlomo or Vilna Gaon. Who are these men and what did they teach? According to the Jewish Virtual Library:

Nachmanides had a strong mystical bent. His biblical commentaries are the first ones to incorporate the mystical teachings of kabbalah.[i]

Christian apologist John Weldon, in Decoding the Bible Code, reports that Rabbi Vilna Gaon “was subject to strong occult influences” such as “mysticism, mystical revelations, ‘angels, and other celestial beings,’ the dead, and out of body experiences.”[ii]
