The Election is Over: What About the Department
of Peace?
By
Deborah Dombrowski
Now that the election is over, Lighthouse
Trails has a question, and that is, “What about the Department of Peace?” Most
Christians have probably never heard of it. Those who have been tracking the
news through Lighthouse Trails for some time most likely have. One thing that
may happen with the new administration is that the Department of Peace will
become a reality.
Right now in Washington DC, a group of New Age lobbyists are working
diligently to get the government to establish what they are calling the U.S.
Department of Peace. The chief lobbying 
organization--The
Peace Alliance--was founded by New Age leaders Marianne Williamson and Neale
Donald Walsch. In essence, the Department of Peace, should it become a reality,
will be a means to enforce New Age based hate crime legislation.
The
legislation could very well lead ultimately to what Barbara Marx Hubbard calls
the selection process, which is based on the New Age belief in order to stop
the crises and turmoil in the world, all must go along with the plan, and
resistance of any kind will be intolerable. The spiritual reasoning behind it
is that unless humanity is enlightened to realize its own divinity, the world
will head into Armageddon, and those who are self-centered (biblical
Christians) are the only ones standing in the way from the planet being saved.
We, of course, know that God’s enemy, the devil, hates the Gospel and the
messengers of this Gospel of true peace (because of the atonement for sins by
Jesus Christ).
With
the increased voice and influence that Oprah Winfrey will most likely gain
because of the new president-elect, it seems inevitable that the Department of
Peace will come into place. Lighthouse Trails believes this governmental body
will dovetail at some point with Rick Warren’s global P.E.A.C.E. Plan. We can
say this with the utmost confidence because of Warren’s efforts to bring about
what he calls a three-legged stool reformation where government, business
(economy), and religion will come together to solve the world’s major problems.
In addition, because of Obama’s support of Warren’s P.E.A.C.E. Plan and his
support for the $845 billion Global Poverty Act (which is bound to happen now),
it’s very likely that Warren’s peace plan will get a financial shot in the arm
from an Obama administration.
But
let’s take a closer look at the Department of Peace so that when it comes to
pass, you will have a better understanding of its significance.
In
former New Age follower Warren Smith’s 2002 book, Reinventing Jesus Christ, he addresses the Department of Peace.
Only back then it was called “The Global Renaissance Alliance,” co-founded by
New Age leaders Marianne Williamson and Neale Donald Walsch. Here are Warren’s
remarks:
“Marianne
Williamson’s radical transformation from a little known author appearing on The
Oprah Winfrey Show in 1992 to best-selling author, ‘spiritual leader,’ and
co-founder of The Global Renaissance Alliance has been remarkable to say the
least. As already noted, Winfrey’s enthusiastic public endorsement of
Williamson’s book, A Return to Love:
Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, made Williamson, her
book, and the Course instantly famous.
“While A Return to Love made Williamson a key player in the contemporary
spiritual arena, a subsequent book, Healing
the Soul of America, has now brought Williamson and her ‘new gospel’
message into the political arena. The combined message of these two books is
that we, the people, can heal the soul of America and the soul of the world if
we ‘return to love’ by accepting the [New Age] ‘new gospel’ along with its A Course in Miracles-based principles.
Because of the popularity of her books and her continued favored status in the
media, Williamson has fast become the unofficial ambassador for the [New Age]
‘new gospel Christ.’
“After
the events of September 11, 2001, Williamson became one of the ‘experts’ the
media called upon to provide support to the nation and to make suggestions
about how we should spiritually respond to these disastrous events. With
everyone’s heightened concern about terrorism and the general state of the
world, Williamson and other ‘new gospel’ activists are introducing spiritual
strategies for America’s future. Suddenly, ‘spiritual politics’ is center stage
as the ‘christ’ of the ‘new gospel’ brings his updated spiritual teachings into
everyone’s living room--whether people know it or not.
“Desirous
of establishing a single, unified organization to help create peace, Marianne
Williamson joined with Conversations with
God author Neale Donald Walsch to co-found The Global Renaissance Alliance.
Alliance members include a veritable ‘who’s who’ of bestselling ‘new age’
authors and powerful ‘new gospel’ advocates such as Barbara Marx Hubbard, Gary
Zukav, James Redfield, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and many others.
“The
Global Renaissance Alliance describes itself as a ‘citizen-based network of
spiritual activists’ whose ‘mission is to make a stand in our local and
national communities for the role of spiritual principle in solving the
problems of the world.’(1) The
unspecified ‘spiritual principle’ is the ‘new gospel’ notion that we are all ‘one’
because we are all a part of ‘God.’
“Although
the organization presents itself as an alternative to ‘politics as usual,’ its
members seem to maintain the old political practice of not being very out front
about their real agenda. As expressed between the lines of their writings, one
of the obvious goals of the ‘new gospel’ and of the Alliance organization is to
completely ‘reinvent’ (if it were possible) the traditional Gospel of Jesus
Christ. While members teach that all paths lead to God, they know that there is
no place in their new spiritual world order for those who insist that Jesus
Christ is their Lord and Saviour.
“The
Alliance presents itself as a ‘grassroots’ organization of everyday folks, but
it is important to remember that the Alliance is spearheaded by a high level
group of [New Age] ‘new gospel’ advocates who appear to be operating from a
general blueprint channeled from the spirit world years ago by esotericist and
occultist, Alice Bailey, who is the author of many channeled works. Her
blueprint is continually being affirmed and updated by the recent ‘new
revelations’ received by Schucman, Hubbard, Walsch, Creme and others. In a
revealing passage in her book, Healing
the Soul of America, Williamson writes: ‘Beyond
the appearances of history, there is a great and glorious unfolding plan for
the destiny of nations. According to the mystical traditions, God carries this
plan within His mind, seeking always, in every way, channels for its
furtherance. His plan for the evolution of humanity, and the preparation of
teachers to guide it, is called within the esoteric traditions the Great Work.’

“The
significance of Williamson, Walsch, Hubbard and other very influential ‘new
gospel’ advocates choosing to demonstrate their unity and oneness at this time
through their global association cannot be overstated.
“The
amount of networking and mutual support among Alliance members is widespread as
they continue to join together in increasingly powerful ways to put their ‘new
gospel’ agenda before an anxious world that is searching for spiritual answers.
Furthering their common cause, Walsch has written the introduction to Hubbard’s
last two books, Conscious Evolution
and Emergence. Hubbard, in turn,
recommends Walsch’s and Williamson’s books in her writings. Williamson does the
same with Walsch and Hubbard. The three of them, in their mutual support of
each other, provide a strong nucleus for the Alliance’s high-powered network of
[New Age] ‘new gospel’ advocates, many of whom have bestsellers and followings
of their own.
“The
Alliance has definitely unified the ‘new gospel’ leadership over the last few
years. However, it wasn’t until after the events of September 11 that they
stepped forward in an even more significant and public way to begin introducing
their ‘new gospel’ plan for the conscious creation of world peace.” (from Reinventing Jesus Christ, chapter 6)
That
was written by Warren Smith in 2002. In 2005, the Global Renaissance Alliance
changed its name to the Peace Alliance. Williamson joined forces with people
like news icon Walter Cronkite, Senator Dennis Kucinich, and a number of
well-known Hollywood stars and singers. The Global Renaissance Alliance with
its wide array of New Age leaders was too obvious. Now, the Peace Alliance has
gathered a ‘respectable’ group of leaders, pressing forward with the same
agenda as the Global Renaissance Alliance. That agenda? According to Barbara
Marx Hubbard and a former Global Renaissance Alliance board member, to
“reorient our great social and scientific capacities in alignment with Christ
consciousness as to transform this Earth.” (from the Global Renaissance Alliance
website).
Today,
Williamson’s Department of Peace efforts (Bill HR-808) has gained the
sponsorship and support of 70 U.S. Representatives. Incidentally, every one of
them except Rep. Wayne Gilchrest of
While
Scripture instructs believers to pray for those in authority, it also exhorts
us to warn the Church of grievous wolves and false doctrines, and to defend the
precious faith. Because so many Christian figures are leading countless people
toward the New Age/New Spirituality, we are compelled to continue our warnings.
We know that salvation comes only to those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior through faith by His grace - it is this Gospel message we seek to preserve
in such dark and trying times. Thus, while the United States and the rest of
the world move closer and closer toward a false one world system and a false
christ, we will continue speaking the truth in love and boldness, exposing
areas of darkness for the sake of the saints and the hopeful salvation of many
lost souls.
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 15:57-58)
