An Understand the Times/Lighthouse Trails Special Report
(Booklet Form)

According to Bible prophecy, a one-world
religion that will offer the promise of peace throughout the world is
going to commence prior to Christ’s return. To most, this global body
will seem like a wonderful thing and very possibly will be a
pseudo-Christianity (coming in the name of “Christ”); however, contrary
to how the masses will view it, it will actually help establish and set
up the antichrist and his one- world government.

In order for this to happen, all religions must
come together in an ecumenical plan. Today, as part of this Satanic
scheme, the evangelical/Protestant church is being drawn seductively
into the Roman Catholic church, largely through what we call “The Jesuit
Agenda.” Incredibly, while the evidence is obvious to some, the
majority of proclaiming Christians are not at all aware it is happening.

So, what should we expect if we are in the time
when such a system unfolds? First, many who once were Protestant and
evangelical will become ecumenical and eventually assimilate with the
Roman Catholic church. Second, all religions will unite in solidarity of
purpose. Understanding the Jesuit Agenda is essential if we are to
understand how this worldwide deception will come about.

 Who are the Jesuits?

Since its foundation, the Catholic papacy has
been zealous and often brutal in its endeavor to establish the kingdom
of the Pope (of whom it is believed within the Catholic church is headed
by Jesus Christ). In fact, the Pope has been referred to as the “Vicar
of Christ.” This determination was witnessed during the Inquisition
where countless thousands, if not millions, died cruelly for resisting
Rome. Foxe’s Book of Martyrs describes many of these atrocities.

While many believers in Christ during the
Reformation period attempted to spread the truth that God’s Word was
truly God’s Word and could not be squandered and kept hostage by the
papacy and the Catholic Church, it was not long before the Counter
Reformation was founded to bring the “Separated Brethren” back to the
“Mother of All Churches.”

This Counter Reformation was largely headed by
Ignatius Loyola, the man who founded the Jesuit Order in the mid 1500s
and launched an all-out attack against those who dared stand against the
papacy and Rome. This excerpt from Foxe’s Book of Martyrs gives us an idea of the nature and determination of this Counter Reformation:

The emperor Ferdinand, whose hatred of the
Bohemian Protestants was without bounds, not thinking he had
sufficiently oppressed them, instituted a high court to prosecute the
reformers upon the plan of the Inquisition, with this difference, that
the court was to travel from place to place and always to be attended by
a body of troops. This court was conducted chiefly by Jesuits and from
their decision there was no appeal, by which it may be easily
conjectured that it was a dreadful tribunal indeed.

This bloody court, attended by a body of
troops, made the tour of Bohemia. They seldom examined or saw a
prisoner, for the soldiers were permitted to murder the Protestants as
they pleased and then to make a report of the matter to them afterward.1

You see, the Jesuits were commissioned by the Pope to do whatever it took to end the Protestant Reformation. The 1540 Constitution of the Jesuits states:

[L]et whoever desires to fight under the sacred banner of the Cross, and to serve only God
and the Roman pontiff, His vicar on earth, after a solemn vow of
perpetual chastity,- let him keep in mind that he is part of a society,
instituted for the purpose of perfecting souls in life and in Christian doctrine,
for the propagation of the faith . . . Let all members know, and let it
be not only at the beginning of their profession, but let them think
over it daily as long as they live, that the society as a whole, and
each of them, owes obedience to our most holy lord, the pope, and the other Roman pontiffs, his successors, and to fight with faithful obedience for God. (Emphasis added.)

While most Christians think that the Counter
Reformation is a thing of the past because we are not seeing
Inquisitions today, this movement continues until today and with renewed
effort through various avenues of the evangelical/Protestant church. In
a way, it is more insidious than the Inquisitions, because now it has
infiltrated Christianity and is being disguised as the “new”
Christianity. (Rick Warren promotes it as the “new” or second reformation.)
But disguised or not, it is the Jesuit Agenda, and it is bringing about
ecumenism and a one-world religion. And at the same time, it is
attempting to destroy the message that so many died for –  the message
that Jesus Christ is not found in a wafer and a cup of juice to be
re-crucified day after day but has died once and for all for the sins of
man and offers a salvation that is an entirely free gift, unearned to
those who believe on Him (Hebrews 7:27; 10:11-14).

 Who Was Ignatius Loyola?

After a serious injury in the military and
during a lengthy rehabilitation, Ignatius Loyola (b. 1491, d. 1556)
turned his focus from “military enthusiasm to ghostly fanaticism.”2
 Ignatius assumed the name and office of Knight of the Virgin Mary,
seeing himself as Mary’s favorite. Ignatius wanted to start a new order,
The Society of Jesus (or the Jesuits) and presented the idea to the
Pope. He told the Pope that the idea had been inspired by heavenly
revelations. At first, the Pope hesitated, but when Ignatius added a
fourth vow (in addition to the regular poverty, chastity, and
obedience), “absolute subservience to the pope,” promising to do
whatever the Pope wanted and go wherever he wanted, the Pope agreed and
sent the new order out to “invade the world.” While other monks of other
orders sought to separate themselves from the world, the Jesuits went
out into the world and obeyed whatever command the Pope gave. Often this
was to win the world with the sword. No violent act was withheld if the
order came from their top “general.”3

In time, the Jesuits entered the education
system, especially that of the Protestants. The Jesuit maxim was: “Give
us the education of the children of this day – and the next generation
will be ours.”4 The Reverend W. C. Brownlee, D.D. stated: “They
pretended to be converted and to enter into Protestant churches.” One
Jesuit even boasted that the Jesuits were successfully able to imitate
the Puritan preachers. They used trickery and deception to become “all
things to all men.” Within 48 years, there were eleven thousand Jesuits
around the world, quite a large number for back then. 5

By 1773, the order was abolished because of
their horrible reputation of bloodiness, deception, and immorality.
However, they were reinstated fully in 1814 by Pope Pius VII. Even by
this time, the influence and infiltration into the United States by the
Jesuits was significant.

In 1857, the Reverend W.C. Brownlee, D.D. compiled a book of a translated document called Secret Instructions of the Jesuits (found on the Boston College Libraries website, for one). While Catholic sources say that the Secret Instructions of the Jesuits
is an untrue document, there is enough evidence to indicate that it is
true indeed. Naturally, it is so indicting against the papacy and the
Jesuit Order that one can understand from a human point of view why
Catholic sources would say the document isn’t true. But the facts are
that the Jesuit Order was performing brutal cruel acts to bring the
world to “Christ” and the Mother Church and that they were infiltrating
every area of society to do so. This cannot be denied. Brownlee’s book
would be a worthwhile read for those who wish to understand more of the
history of the Jesuits. 

The Jesuit Oath

It is said that the ancient Jesuits took the
Jesuit Oath. This has been refuted by Catholic sources as a true oath
taken by Jesuits of the past; nevertheless, there is evidence enough
that the oath did exist to include excerpts of it in this report. We
have taken these excerpts from a book titled Political and Economic Handbook by Thomas Edward Watson published in 1916, and found in the Harvard College library:

I do declare from my heart, without mental
reservation, that the Pope is Christ’s Vicar General and . . .  He hath
power to depose Heretical Kings, Princes, States  . . .  that they may
safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I will defend
this doctrine. . . . I do further declare the doctrine of the Church of
England, of the Calvanists [sic], the Huguenots, and other Protestants to be damnable and those to be damned who will not forsake the same.

I do further declare that I will help,
assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness agents in any place
wherever I shall be; and to do my utmost to extirpate [exterminate] the
heretical Protestant doctrine, and to destroy all their pretended power.
(p. 437)

In another version of the Jesuit Oath, the
Jesuit is asked to promise that he will make “relentless war” against
“all heretics, Protestants” and to “hang, burn, waste, boil, flay,
strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics” (found in U.S. House
Congressional Record, 1913, p. 3216).

The Jesuit Agenda Today

While we are not saying that Jesuits today are
murdering Protestants if they don’t convert to Catholicism, we are
saying that the determination and efforts to convert Protestants back to
the Mother Church still exist. Basically, while the methods may have
changed, the plan and objectives have not. The following quote from an
article titled “Essay on Popery” by Rev. Ingram Cobbin M.A. (taken from one edition of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs) is insightful:

The Jesuits, though at times expelled or
pretendedly so from Rome, have been its awful emissaries to augment its
power.  The intrigues and deceptions of these men would fill volumes,
and the conveniency of their creed to deny or affirm anything, or assume
any profession as it may serve their purpose, is too well known to need
recapitulating here.  These men have at times assumed so much that
every papal state has alternately ejected them; and large numbers are
now in this country—doubtless many under false colours —waiting the most
favourable opportunities to corrupt the rising generation, and, as much
as possible, restore the dark days of former ages.  The Jesuits are
unchangeable.

The Jesuits were driven in the past to bring
back the lost brethren, and they are driven today with the same vision.
Today, that vision is part of the pope’s Eucharistic Evangelization,
drawing people to the Eucharistic Christ. The Eucharistic Evangelization
is discussed at length in Another Jesus: The Evangelization of the Eucharistic Christ and in several articles on the Understand the Times website.

Jesuit (Mystical) Spirituality and the Protestant/Evangelical Church

So if the methods of converting lost or
prodigal souls back to Rome have changed, what is the method to
accomplish these goals today? It is largely through what is called
Jesuit Spirituality. A 2002 book titled Contemplatives in Action: The Jesuit Way
reveals how the Jesuit order has had and continues to have a “great
influence” in people around the world. It attributes this “vitality” to
“its spirituality” which has also “evoked fierce loyalty and fierce
opposition.”6

What is the spirituality of the Jesuits that
was so controversial? By their very roots, Jesuits are proponents of
mystical prayer practices. The founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola,
created “spiritual exercises” that incorporated mysticism, including lectio divina. Today, millions of people worldwide practice the “Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola.”

One Jesuit priest who resonates with the mystical spiritual outlook is Anthony De Mello (d. 1987), author of Sadhana: A Way to God. De Mello is often quoted today by contemplative and emerging authors and embraced the mysticism of Hinduism. He stated:

To silence the mind is an extremely difficult
task. How hard it is to keep the mind from thinking, thinking,
thinking, forever thinking, forever producing thoughts in a never ending
stream. Our Hindu masters in India have a saying: one thorn is removed
by another. By this they mean that you will be wise to use one thought
to rid yourself of all the other thoughts that crowd into your mind. One
thought, one image, one phrase or sentence or word that your mind can
be made to fasten on. – Anthony de Mello, Sadhana: A Way to God (St. Louis, the Institute of Jesuit Resources, 1978), p. 28 (cited from A Time of Departing, by Ray Yungen, p. 75).

Ray Yungen explains that Sadhana “is very open in its acknowledgment of Eastern mysticism as an enrichment to Christian spirituality.”

It doesn’t take a long search to find De Mello
within the evangelical/Protestant camp. In fact, Richard Foster, one of
the pioneers of the evangelical spiritual formation (contemplative)
movement wrote the introduction to one of De Mello’s books, The Sacrament of the Present Moment. In A Glimpse of Jesus, popular contemplative author Brennan Manning quotes De Mello. Amazon shows that De Mello’s book, The Sacrament of the Present Moment is
cited in 82 books, some of which are written by some of
evangelicalism’s most popular authors: John Ortberg, Richard Foster, Jan
Johnson, Philip Yancey, and Calvin Miller – incidentally all these are
contemplative advocates.

Another example of Jesuit influence in the evangelical/Protestant church is the Be Still
DVD, where Richard Foster quotes 18th century Jesuit priest, Jean
Nicholas Grou as saying: “O Divine Master, teach me this mute language
which says so much.” This “mute language” Grou speaks of is the mystical
“silence” practiced by contemplatives and mystics throughout all
religions.

One of the key figures in the “new” progressive Christianity today is Leonard Sweet. Sweet has partnered on a number of occasions with Rick Warren and speaks at evangelical events frequently. In Sweet’s book, Quantum Spirituality, he states:

Mysticism, once cast to the sidelines of the
Christian tradition, is now situated in postmodernist culture near the
center. . . . In the words of one of the greatest theologians of the
twentieth century, Jesuit philosopher of religion/dogmatist Karl Rahner,
“The Christian of tomorrow will be a mystic, one who has experienced
something, or he will be nothing.” [Mysticism] is metaphysics arrived at
through mindbody experiences. (p. 76)

How fitting that Sweet would quote a Jesuit priest’s prediction about the “Christian” of the future.

Tony Campolo, another popular figure in the evangelical church, reveals something quite interesting in his book, Letters to a Young Evangelical. In the book, he explains the role mysticism had in him becoming a Christian. He explains:

I learned about this way of having a born-again experience from reading Catholic mystics, especially The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. (p. 30, see “Coming to Christ Through Mysticism,” Oakland )

For skeptics who may need further evidence that
Jesuit Spirituality has come into the evangelical/Protestant church,
consider this. In 2006, Baker Books, one of evangelicalism’s top book
publishers, released a book titled Sacred Listening: Discovering the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola written by James Wakefield. A publisher description of the book states:

Central to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits),
the Spiritual Exercises is a manual used to direct a month-long
spiritual retreat. Now adapting these time-honored Exercises
specifically for Protestant Christians, James L. Wakefield encourages
readers to integrate their secular goals with their religious beliefs
and helps them reflect on the life of Jesus as a model for their own
discipleship.7

Wakefield’s book, devoted to the Jesuits and
Ignatian Exercises, should be proof enough that the Jesuit Agenda has
entered the Christian church and that mysticism is the tool by which the
Jesuit Agenda is largely being brought into the lives of countless
evangelicals and Protestants. Is it any wonder Wakefield’s book found
praise within the Jesuit community? Armand M. Nigro, professor emeritus
at the Jesuit school, Gonzaga University, said:

As a Jesuit for 62 years, I have been formed
by the Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, our principal founder. I
rejoice, then, at the long-awaited publication of Sacred Listening. It will be for its readers, I hope, a classic manual for spiritual growth in genuine mystical prayer. (on back cover of book)

Incidentally, Eugene Peterson, author of The Message wrote an endorsement of Wakefield’s book on the front cover.

These are just a few of a great many examples
where the “Jesuit Spirituality” has come into the Protestant church;
thus this new modern (post-modern) mystical method to accomplish the
goals of the papacy is working.

If Protestants and evangelicals can be convinced to practice mysticism (i.e., contemplative), this conditions them
to begin embracing Rome and even all religions. It’s important to
understand that mysticism is the bridge that unites all the religions of
the world. In order to unite them, there would need to be a uniting,
common denominator, so to speak. That common uniting medium is
mysticism. Thomas Merton recognized this. In a conversation he was
having with a Sufi master, the topic of Christian atonement arose. The
Sufi master said this was an area they could never agree on, to which
Merton replied:

Personally, in matters where dogmatic beliefs
differ, I think that controversy [atonement] is of little value because
it takes us away from the spiritual realities into the realm
of words and ideas . . . in words there are apt to be infinite
complexities and subtleties which are beyond resolution. . . . But much
more important is the sharing of the experience of divine light, . . . It is here that the area of fruitful dialogue exists between Christianity and Islam.8 (Emphasis added.)

Tilden Edwards, co-founder of the Shalem Institute (where Ruth Haley Barton
was educated), would agree with Merton. He said, “This mystical stream
[contemplative prayer] is the Western bridge to Far Eastern
spirituality” (Spiritual Friend, p. 18). And in a New Age book titled, As Above, So Below,
the author states (quoting Aldous Huxley) that “the metaphysical
[mystical] that recognizes a divine reality” is the “highest common
factor” that “links the world’s religious traditions.” And even
evangelical-turned-emerging author Tony Campolo recognizes this
commonality in mysticism when he states: “Beyond these models of
reconciliation, a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common
ground between Christianity and Islam” (pp 149-150).

Incidentally, when we say all the religions of
the world uniting, we include the New Age movement (perhaps one of the
largest “religions” in the world today). New Agers believe that in order
to enter into an age of enlightenment (or Age of Aquarius), the world
needs to become “vibrationally sympathetic,” meaning that a sufficient
mass (critical mass) of people will need to engage in mystical prayer.9

The Counter Reformation Continues

Jesuit influence in the world today is
everywhere: in the business world, in education, in government, and yes,
in the evangelical/Protestant church.  According to Contemplatives in Action: The Jesuit Way,
there are over one million people living in the United States alone who
have graduated from Jesuit high schools, colleges, and universities
(Introduction, p. 1).

While there have often been tensions between
the Pope and the Jesuit Order over various issues, the current Superior
General of the Jesuit Order, Adolfo Nicolas Pachon, reassured the Jesuit
commitment to Rome when he stated:

The Society of Jesus was born within the
Church, we live in the Church, we were approved by the Church and we
serve the Church. This is our vocation…[Unity with the pope] is the
symbol of our union with Christ. It also is the guarantee that our
mission will not be a ‘small mission,’ a project just of the Jesuits,
but that our mission is the mission of the Church.”10

Where Else in Evangelicalism is the Jesuit Evangelism Showing Up?

Earlier this year, Understand the Times released an article titled Jerry Boykin and the Calvary Chapel Connection.
It was a difficult article for many to read. People do not want to
think that Christian leaders and pastors they have trusted for years
would be so foolish as to associate with and promote someone who is part
of a group that wants to bring the “lost brethren” back to the Mother
Church. But the fact is that a high officer in the Vatican’s Jesuitical, “Knights of Malta” was a featured speaker at a Calvary Chapel sponsored Preach the Word prophecy conference.

Another example, and I believe an important
one, has to do with one of the most well-known and influential
evangelical organizations in America. Robert Siciro is a Protestant
turned Catholic Paulist priest, and he is one of the featured speakers
in the very popular Truth Project by Focus on the Family.
While the Paulist Order is not a Jesuit Order, it has basically the
same objective as the Jesuit order with regard to winning souls for the
Catholic church. According to one Catholic source , the Paulist order is “A community of priests for giving missions and doing other Apostolic works, especially for making converts to the Catholic faith.” Robert Siciro is  President of the Acton Institute,
an ecumenical think tank where, incidentally, there are scores of
articles  by or about those in the Catholic faith, including a number of
Jesuits. Now, through the Truth Project, thousands and thousands of
evangelical/Protestant Christians have been introduced, by way of proxy,
to the Eucharistic Evangelization.

The Fatima Plan

For those who are not convinced that we are
headed toward a one-world religion for “peace,”  take a trip some time
to Fatima, Portugal where annual pilgrimages bring people from the
religions of the world  to pray to “the queen of heaven,” also called
“our lady of Peace.”

Pope John Paul II was dedicated to Mary and
especially “Our Lady of Fatima.” He believed this entity saved him from
an assassin’s bullet on May 13, 1981, on the anniversary of the
so-called apparition’s appearance (to have first occurred in 1917).

People from all around the world have been
coming to Fatima to pray to “Our Lady.” At a gathering for “world peace”
in Fatima, Jesuit priest Jacques Dupuis  stated:

The religion of the future will be a general
converging of religions in a universal Christ that will satisfy all. The
other religious traditions in the world are part of God’s plan for
humanity and the Holy Spirit is operating and present in Buddhist, Hindu
and other sacred writings of Christian and non-Christian faiths as
well. The universality of God’s kingdom permits this, and this is
nothing more than a diversified form of sharing in the same mystery of
salvation.11

Fatima is just another avenue through which the Jesuit Agenda is being accomplished.

In Summary

Perhaps the best way to understand the Jesuit
Agenda that undermines biblical Christianity is to recognize the move
toward a so-called “social gospel” that unites the religions of the
world for the cause of peace. Like mysticism, this social gospel is a
vehicle through which all religions will be united. Who would have
believed this could have happened to the Protestant evangelical church?
But we have already been warned in Scripture that Satan’s ministers are
“transformed as the ministers of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:15).

Rick Warren has been one of the many pied
pipers of this move to unite through “good works.” Called “America’s
pastor,” Warren has become the evangelical/Protestant spokesperson for a
one-world religion. His Purpose Driven model has become the battle cry
for let just all get along and do good. We can work together as one for one common purpose – peace in the world.

Willow Creek has helped to escalate this global
religious body through their Global Leadership Summits, where they are
“bringing people together from all nationalities to complete our shared
Kingdom assignment in the Church and beyond”12 (emphasis added). Warren and Hybel’s  global agenda is moving full force throughout the earth today.

Rick Warren and Bill Hybels – protégés of Peter
Drucker, by the way – have advanced the Jesuit Agenda by leaps and
bounds. Many of these “new” Christianity, new reformation leaders have
ignored the prophetic warnings of Jesus Christ’s soon return based on
the signs we see from Bible prophecy. Instead, they promote the
establishment of the kingdom of God with all the world’s religions.

The emerging church movement, which has been
widely propagated by Warren, Hybels, and a host of other Christian
figures, has been used by Satan to quickly bring about this worldwide
deception by introducing mystical experiences and the social gospel to
an entire generation of young people. Sensual experiences that tickle
the flesh of the postmodern generation are often the same ones that Rome
has used in the past to convince the faithful that they have
encountered the God of the Bible. History reveals that history is
repeating, and the same tools of delusion are being used over and over.

Those who shine the light on the Jesuit Agenda
are considered to be conspiratorial crackpots. The prophets of the past
when they exposed the Babylonian worship by the leaders of Israel were
also deemed to be crazy, as have been Bible-believing Christians since
Christianity began. One of those was John Huss  (1372-1415). John Foxe
describes what happened:

[Huss] compiled a treatise in which he
maintained that reading the books of Protestants could not be absolutely
forbidden. He wrote in defense of Wickliffe’s book on the Trinity; and
boldly declared against the vices of the pope, the cardinals, and clergy
of those corrupt times. He wrote also many other books, all of which
were penned with a strength of argument that greatly facilitated the
spreading of his doctrines. . . . 13

Eventually Huss was arrested, and when he was
brought before the council (of the papacy), he was mocked and called “A
ringleader of heretics,” to which he replied:

My Lord Jesus Christ, for my sake, did wear a
crown of thorns; why should not I then, for His sake, wear this light
crown, be it ever so shameful? Truly I will do it and willingly.14

At 43 years of age, John Huss was burned at the
stake, singing hymns during the brutal execution. Why was he called a
“ringleader of heretics”? For standing up for biblical truth against the
Pope and Rome.

Discerning Christians should be asking many
questions. But one question that stands out foremost is: why are so few
saying anything about the Jesuit Agenda? Do they see it but are afraid
to speak? Or do they see it and are part of it?

Speaking of questions, Jesus asked one: “[W]hen
the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).
Will He find it in the pastors and theological professors? Will He find
it in your own church? Or will He only find those who have remained
silent?

Just as God raised up others to carry the torch
of truth after Huss was eliminated from this earth, God will and is
raising up others today who are willing to risk all to stand for the
truth and speak against the lies.

To believers who are standing fast, look up, for “your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for
because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children
of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them. . . .  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools,
but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be
ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
(Ephesians 5:6-11, 15-17)
