THIS WORD

A New Christ For A New Age?

"In Palestine for the Piscean era He needed to demonstrate His divinity and power...for Aquarian men and women He will demonstrate His perfected humanity", says author Mary Bailey in the June 1998 issue of "The Beacon", the bi-monthly magazine of the Lucis Publishing Co.. "If we look for the Christ as He was two thousand years ago, we will fail to recognize Him when He reappears to continue His work in the Aquarian age", she continues.

Bailey is not uncommon today as there are thousands of people who believe that the Jesus Christ of the Bible was only one Christ for His age; and that there were other Christs for past ages, and will be other Christs for future ages. However, we as christians should know that this is deception, for the Bible teaches that there is only "one Lord Jesus Christ".ICor.8:6 Further, the Bible teaches that there are not different Christs for different ages, but that "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus".ITim. 2:5
Bailey states further,"He is coming to establish the principles and values, including the techniques on which life must be based during the Aquarian age".

The deception by this teaching should be clear, for Psalms 100:5 declares "His truth endures to all generations". The principles and values for life have already been given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ when He came the first time. And those that He gave endures to all generations; no new principles and values need to be given.

Bailey confirms,"He will no longer be confined to a small area of the planet, or to the teaching function which seemed to be His main avenue of service in Palestine, He will be seen and heard worldwide over radio and television evoking recognition and response from perceptive minds and hearts".

Although Bailey believes in what she says, the fact of the matter is, is that she is terribly deceived. There is no new Christ for a new Age, there is only one Christ, who has come to give His life for our salvation, and His blood for the washing away of our sin.

In fact, when you add all of her characteristics together:him being different from the Christ of the Bible, him establishing new principles and values for living, and him being seen and heard giving out his message all over the world by way of television and radio, the actual face of this "Christ" gets very familiar.

Could she not be referring to the Antichrist?

When one examines the New Testament Scriptures about the Antichrist and look at Bailey's characteristics of this "Aquarian Christ", the only logical conclusion is, certainly.
