Summary
It’s Wayback Wednesday with another episode drawn from our archive of programs going back to 2009. This week, we feature author Constance Cumbey and her research into the New Age movement’s hijacking of evangelical Christianity.
Originally released October 18, 2009
THERE IS no greater threat to the Christian church in America today than the New Age movement. Why? Because it’s just a repackaged version of the old lie, “ye shall be as gods”.
Sadly, this lie has wormed its way into our churches. Too many believers are unaware of the many faces this lie presents, from contemplative prayer to political activism where temporal power is justified as a means to an end.
Constance Cumbey has been sounding the warning since the publication of her groundbreaking book, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, and she shares with us some of the evidence that leaders among the New Age and prominent evangelicals have been working together behind the scenes for decades.
Read Constance’s blog to keep up with her research.

| 0:00.0 | New Age Evangelicals now on a view from the bunker. |
| 0:08.1 | The New Age movement shares much of its theology and most of its goals with Adolf Hitler. |
| 0:14.7 | That sounds like an outrageous claim, but we'll discuss that and go in depth as to why that's true over the next hour. |
| 0:19.4 | Our guest is the author of |
| 0:21.6 | the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, a groundbreaking book published in 1983. Also the author |
| 0:26.8 | of a planned deception, the staging of a new age Messiah. She hosts my perspective at |
| 0:31.7 | program on the MicroEffect Internet Radio Network, and she has her own blog at cumbie dot blogspot.combe. Constance Cumbi, |
| 0:39.8 | it is an honor and a pleasure to talk with you. Well, thank you. Nice to be here. |
| 0:44.7 | The book, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, released in 1983, published in 83. My wife, as is true in |
| 0:53.3 | most things, is way ahead of me on things like this. |
| 0:56.3 | She read your book just about the time it came out. |
| 1:00.0 | I'm coming late to the party, and maybe that's why I feel so much alarm at what is happening here. |
| 1:07.5 | And by that, I mean the convergence of the New Age movement and evangelical |
| 1:11.2 | Christianity. Is the alarm warranted, or am I just slow to catch on to something that... |
| 1:18.0 | You should be feeling alarm, and it's not just happening now. It's been taking place for some |
| 1:24.3 | time. I think, if anything, we slowed it down. |
| 1:29.3 | Jeremy Rifkin wrote a book back in 19, I think it was probably 79, 78, 79, called |
| 1:38.1 | The Emerging Order, Got in an Age of Scarcity. And Rifkin is a hardcore New Agers, New Ager. You name it, he's into it. And he said |
| 1:48.8 | that the new order would be introduced, that the evangelical church would be a primary tool |
| 1:55.7 | to bring the new world order to birth, and that it would be accomplished through a change in religious |
| 2:01.8 | paradigms and that they would shift from a fallen dominion theory to a stewardship ethic |
