THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA - Scattered Seed Ministries

left with explaining why. What history or origins will you base your conviction on? To what
can you attribute the crazy staying power of a people who hold the record as the all-time
favorite target for annihilation - including several efforts at self-erasure? If you don't fall
back on some kind of Higher Power as an explanation, your rational processes will begin to
suffer from cognitive dissonance.
Of course you can always accept the humbling but satisfying answer that the G-d of Israel
lives. Not that we understand everything He has done with our people, but He is apparently
there - and involved. He's been keeping some very unlikely promises, in the face of some
very impressive opposition. He is not daunted by His own people's skeptism, or their outright
denial of His existence. His promises include dealing a final blow to "the wise men of
Babylon" who "rule the whole earth" [never achieved until this day of global culture] and "the
daughter of the Kasdim" with her "sorceries" (Jer. 50 and 51, Isa. 14 and 47). It is noteworthy
that "Helel ben Shahar", the New Agers' "light-bearer", receives judgment from G-d as the
king of Babylon (Isa. 14:3-23).
2. Restoring Your Own Jewish Spirituality
- for Observant Jews
"Have I been taught real Torah?"
You may have never questioned whether what you have absorbed is really a Jewish faith,
especially if you are in orthodox circles. But since New Agers are boasting control of the
culture we have grown up in, and even penetration into the Torah community, it's time to
investigate.
Is everything you have accepted about the nature of G-d and man, good and evil, based on the
teachings of the eternal, unchanging Torah? Is it based on teachings of Jewish leaders who
never violated Deuteronomy 4:2 or 12:32 by cancelling or "reinventing" Torah? Does your
community believe that certain Torah commandments can be disregarded by certain rabbis or
mekubalim because of their lofty spirituality?
Are your leaders teaching Torah, or are they (even unknowingly) offering a mixture of Torah
and "universal ideas" from other religions? It's true that Torah contains universal ideas, but
with clear boundaries and exclusions. Of special relevance here, we are explicitly
commanded not to "inquire" how idol worshipers "serve their gods" so that we can "do
likewise" for our own G-d. (Deut. 12:30) Is there anything in the body of today's accepted
traditions passing as "Jewish" that can be found in ancient mystery religions, but not in
Torah? Do you even know the Five Books well enough to answer that question?
(Isaiah 8:19-20, literal translation from Hebrew:)
"And when they say to you, 'Seek the mediums [channelers] and wizards [adepts in occult
mysteries] who chirp and mutter; shall not a people seek its god on behalf of the living among
the dead?' To the Law and to the Testimony, if they will not speak according to this word:
that it has no dawn [shahar]."
In other words, do not follow those leaders who refuse to confirm the fact that this is not the
"dawning of a new age" and that Lucifer is not "son of the morning". Do not follow those
who condone occult activities like communing with the dead. If you can't find such a rabbi to
teach you, then stick to "the Law and the Testimony" on your own.
