ISS:Tex Mars of the Southwest Radio Church speaks out about Earth Day

   There's something very tragic and sad but it's something you need to
know about.

   There's something very incredible that's going to be occurring n
April 22, 1990. It's called Earth Day, 1990, and it is the latest and
greatest New Age extravaganza. All over the world people will be
meeting in various locations and invoking various spirits on behalf of
Mother Earth, the earth goddess, Gaya, the Greek earth goddess from the
past.

   They say "Save our environment. Stop world pollution. Let us all be
together in unity and harmony as one. Let us protect the sacred soil of
our planet. Let this be a planetary day."

   This sounds so good; this sounds so wonderful. It seems so pure to
protect "Mother Earth." But is it pure? Is it harmless? Is it helpful?
Or is this simply a diabolical - literally an evil plot dreamed up by
Satan and his demons?

   Are people being lured into participating into nothing more than a
massive planetary devil fest?

   You'll remember the Harmonic Convergence of Aug. 16-17, 1987. They
met at various locations around the U.S. - new agers - thousands of
them around the globe. They went to Peru, to Egypt; many went right
here to what they call sacred locations where the supposed energy
forces came in around the universe - our planet. They went to Enchanted
Rock in Austin, TX. They were in Seattle - all over the United States
New Agers met. Some "ohmed;" some chanted; others had witchcraft
ceremonies, incantations to spirit guides. My understanding from what I
read is that some actually cried out "666 come forth and seize dominion
of this globe."

   We've also had other devil festivals. We had World Day of Healing.
We had World Meditation Day. You'll remember Live Aid, and the song "We
Are the World." And they're going to continue.

   The plan of the New Age masters is to raise our consciousness as
human beings. All of this is connected with Mystery Babylon. Read
Revelation 17 and you'll understand about Earth Day because there we
see pictured in all her horror the Mystery Babylon Woman. The whore of
Babylon. There she is astride a beast, drunken with the blood of the
saints and the martyrs of Jesus.

   This is a picture that our Lord showed the Apostle John of the last
days' world church of Satan. There are two churches in the last days:
the church of the Living God, the only God there is, Jesus Christ, who
died for us and loves us. But there is another church, the worldwide
church of Satan, and Revelation 17 says it is Mystery Babylon connected
with the beast.

   There is a woman because the Babylonians and all of those false
pagan religions worshipped a mother goddess. They said she was
literally the earth and she was impregnated by the sun god, Baal. But
it all began with Nimrod in Babylon. Nimrod, the mighty hunter
according to Genesis who built the Tower of Babyl with his goddess
queen, who was the first woman goddess.

   They believe the earth and stars are sacred; that all is god. There
is no personal god but all of us are god: the earth is god, the sun is
god and so we have the earth goddess, Mother Earth. That's where the
saying came from - you've heard of Mother Nature as well.

   Earth Day is coming up and we're told to protect our environment.
Shouldn't we protect our environment? Oh my goodness, yes! My wife,
Wanda, and I have lived in our home for a number of years. It's not the
fanciest home in the world and it's not a mansion or palace. It's
modest in terms of what others consider a home. But that home is
special to us. God put us there; He gave us a home. He takes care of
you and I if we follow him as Christians.

   And we like to keep our home clean. Why? Because we're proud of our
home. It's good to take care of the things God has given us. He has
given us this earth and of course we should take care of it. But if you
put all your interest in on any material things - if protecting,
preserving and conserving Mother Earth is more important to you than
the spiritual things, then you have a real problem.

   Some day all these material things will fade away but the spiritual
things will last forever.

   Those past New Age celebrations were like nothing compared to this
Earth Day. This news release was put out by the Los Angeles Times -
there are some big folks involved in Earth Day 1990.

   A major fund-raiser, in fact he's been called the fund-raising czar
of the world, Roger Craver, is putting all these things together.
They're going to get millions of dollars in a kitty to push this
campaign.

   A Log Angeles public relations consultant, Josh Beran, said "We're
going to organize this like the movie 'Batman' so that when Earth Day
arrives on April 22, everybody will know about it. Earth Day can be the
booster rocket for the next 10 years in making people change behavior."

   Would you like to change your behavior to do what the devil wants
you to do instead of God? We're on the threshold of the seventh
glorious - I should say unglorious - millennium of man. I believe we're
heading to the millennium of Jesus Christ.

   This is going to be the decade where we see a one-world order, a
one-world religion, a one-world economy and an antichrist. Satan
certainly has plans to bring everything to a head. Certainly all the
signs are there of these last days.

   One of the people involved in this Earth Day campaign - the
chairman, Dennis Hayes, says "We want to change the world." He's an
attorney from San Francisco.

   They've already got 33 nations around the world participating in
this Earth Day. They've got Boy Scouts. They've got Girl Scouts.
They've got Hollywood stars. This is from the New York Times, Oct. 23,
1989: Here are some of the entertainers involved in promoting Earth
Day: Morgan Fairchild, Candice Bergan, Norman Lear...

   You remember Norman Lear. He bankrolled this People for the American
Way. They're the people going around trying to keep the Christianity
and prayer out of the schools.

   I have an article here from USA Today, 1-9-90: Ted Danson says, "The
entertainment industry must do our part."

   Others are going to be participating in a two-hour Earth Day show on
ABC.

   There are so many involved in this. The Walt Disney chairman,
Michael Eisner, and his wife, Jane, are participating. They're going to
pitch in a lot of money and use Disney studios.

   I used to love Disney movies, but I don't know with movies like the
"Dead Poet Society, " where a teen-ager takes a gun and blows his
brains out. I feel sorry for kids today. Do they really have a chance
when we see this occultism all around the suicide messages like "blow
your brains out. What does it matter?" They're gold this in Satanic
rock albums.

   And in all these slasher movies and such that have pictures of gore
and bloodshed. It means a lot. God wants you to stay on here every day
of your life in good health as much as you can according to His will.
He doesn't want you to terminate your life. He wants you to accept Him
and witness to others of His love for you, that He has saved you for
all eternity.

   The devil will lie to you. He's a liar. Jesus said he's the father
of liars. God will make you an eternal creature - a happy person for
the rest of your life. God wants to hear about your problems. Turn to
Him in your prayer.

   President George Bush has already endorsed Earth Day. Reading in the
Associated Press, it says there's going to be an Earth Day celebration
and President Bush is pushing a bill to go before Congress because he
has already "Given the administration official blessings to Earth Day
1990 with a proclamation supporting the nationwide activities involved
in Earth Day."

   It's going to be approved because the U.S. Congress, the Senate and
the House won't deprove by April 22, Earth Day. They know it's going to
be all over the TV networks and splattered across the front pages of
magazines. They want to get in on the act and show they're doing
something for the environment.

   Mikhail Gorbechov has also said he will tape a special message which
no doubt will be aired on national television in America - all around
the world through satellite TV they'll be broadcasting this Earth Day.

   You may ask "What does it hurt to clean up the environment?" Well
I'm in favor of cleaning up the environment. All of us as Christians
are in favor of cleaning up the environment. But this isn't what the
Satanists and the New Agers want. This is only a beginning.

   If they can get people involved in all these big world gala
festivals they believe this consciousness can be raised and there can
be a quantum leap into this New Age kingdom. That's what they're all
about. That's what their true goal is - a one-world order. Will there
be such a kingdom? Will all the world have one mind? Turn to Revelation
17 and you will see where the Bible talks very clearly where there will
be basically a one-world mind.

   About a year and a half ago, the New Age had a huge, world-wide
celebration called the Global Mind Line. The Global Mind Link was
getting all of mankind's minds together in a network of consciousness
to bring in the New Age World Order so all of the world, except the
Christians, could be of one mind.

   When we turn to rev. 17:12-13, we see something interesting. Here's
what God told us about the vision he had given to the Apostle John.

   John said "And the 10 horns which thou sawest are 10 kings, which
have received no kingdom yet but have received power as kings one hour
with the beast. These (the rulers of the earth in the last days) have
one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."

   After the people of this world come together in harmony, unity, love
and peace, they're of one mind and of one accord. That's exactly when
they will turn to the beast - all of their strength and power goes to
the beast. The antichrist.

   Rev. 13:1 says "The beast who rises up out of the sea." And in Rev.
13 we see that this beast's power will encompass the earth. "All the
world shall worship the beast except those whose names are written in
the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

   Part II

   Until Christ comes there is going to be a great tribulation period
when Satan has a field day. We know he can't touch you or me as a
Christian unless God allows, as we learned in Job. "All things work
together for good, " the Bible clearly speaks. But this Earth Day has
such "good intentions." They want to heal the world...clean up the
environment. We all want to live in clean surroundings. It's important
to have a clean environment. But there is a difference between those
who want to clean up the environment and those who want to use this as
a tool for a grand plan. They call it The Plan - to bring in a
one-world order.

   We see in Romans and elsewhere in the Bible there is a distinction
between the creator and his creation. Paul tells us the pagans of his
day worship the creation instead of giving thanks to God who created
the creation. There's a great confusion because the New Age world
religion teaches that this planet is a holy, sacred, divine entity
whereas the Bible teaches there is a personal God who loves you, the
New Age preaches, because it is a Satanic, false doctrine - another
Gospel, we see in Gal. 1:8 and 2 Cor 11:4, the New Age teaches this
earth literally is sacred. That she is Mother Earth.

   So when they're talking about Earth Day and the New Age, they're the
organizers and promoters, although there are many innocent people who
have jumped into it - and they believe for good purposes. and they're
being used by the New Age.

   If you're going to get involved, you're falling right into the hands
of Satan. You're going into it for a good reason - to clean up the
environment. But Satan has a hidden agenda.

   In the New age, the earth is sacred. She is divine and we are all
part of her. She is Gaya, the Great Earth Goddess restored. That means
Mystery Babylon. That was the religion - they worship the old earth.
Witchcraft today is the old earth religion. So worshipping the earth is
simply nothing more than witchcraft and that's expressly prohibited. We
see that throughout the Bible - in Galatians, Deuteronomy, and many
other places. We could talk on and on about how God has passed judgment
on those who practice witchcraft and the worship of the Earth as a
deity.

   This religion - worship of the earth - began in Babylon. We see in
Rev. 17 that it will be restored in the last days. It is restored and i
believe Earth Day has a part in that.

   I was reading a book by a Catholic Dominican priest, Matthew Fox: I
will have to hasten to say that a number of Catholics are upset at
Matthew Fox, as they should be. and certainly all of us who are
Christians should be upset with the teachings of Matthew Fox. He has a
book out called the "Coming of the Cosmic Christ." That's not Jesus.
The subtitle of Matthew Fox is "The Healing of Mother Earth and the
Birth of a Global renaissance."

   What he actually says, this New age priest, is that Mother Earth has
been nailed to the cross. He said we have crucified Mother Earth and
it's time to resurrect Mother Earth.

   This is very sad. We're counterfeiting. It's Jesus who died on the
cross for your sins and my sins, not Mother Earth.

   So these things have come about - his belief in a Cosmic Christ, a
planetary Christ (not Jesus Christ) - have come about simply because
many people no longer believe in the unvarnished word of god.

   Well I'm speaking for southwest Radio church today, as speaker and
host, and not only that I'm speaking for God because it's God's word
that teaches us that Jesus is alive. That Jesus is the only God there
is. Our Bible teaches this very clearly. It teaches there is no such
thing as a Cosmic Christ. There is only Jesus The Christ. The god of
this earth. The Bible is the inerrant word of God.

   What is a Christian fanatic? Simply that we believe in the
unvarnished word of God and that God rules over the affairs of men. And
that this New Age is something that's going to pass away because Jesus
is going to come again.

   I just wanted to assure you that God's word preaches that the earth
is simply God's footstool and Heaven is His throne. It is not divine;
there will be a new heaven and a new earth. All these things shall pass
away. There will be a great fire and ferment and heat and there will be
a new earth someday, and Jesus Christ will reign for a thousand years.

   Recently I was reading in Time Magazine about this Earth Day. "Let
Earth Have its Day." And they mentioned in here that there is a
115-member American board of directors organizing this Earth Day. This
board includes prominent environmentalists, politicians, religious
leaders, labor officials, business executives, celebrities, journalists
- there are representatives from over 33 countries. The communications
director is quoted as saying "We're organizing neighborhoods, regions,
special constituencies. Our slogan is "Earth Day 1990: Who says you
can't change the world?"

   According to Time Magazine, six national labor unions have already
endorsed the event. And even President George Bush has endorsed it. And
there is a legion of entertainers and movie stars and other politicians
who have endorsed these Earth Day things.

   One man who used to push commonest causes has told his fellow New
Agers, "This is the way we can get in. I used to tell people to think
red. Today I tell them 'think green, not red.'"

   The commonists, the New Agers, the occultists, believe this false
campaign of their to clean up the environment - many of them don't care
to cleanup the environment; they simply want you to worship the Mother
Goddess Earth instead of Jesus Christ.

   The official logo of Earth Day is two triangles abutted together,
one green, one white. Inside these two triangles which constitute a
diamond there is a globe.

   To Satan the triangle is a symbol of the unholy trinity: The mother
goddess of Babylon, the father god of light (who in their minds is
Lucifer) and then there is the son, the third member of the unholy
trinity.

   Wanda, my wife, has a book "New Age Lies to Women" which talks about
everything you'd want to know about the goddess religion. She points
out what Gaya is all about - this earth goddess that the Earth Day is
pushing.

   Example: New Age personalities such as Marilyn Stone and Matthew Fox
and others ... On April 6-10, 1988, celebrated Gaya in a large
conference held as "The re-emergent Earth Goddess." She is, said New
Realities Magazine and New Age Magazine, the goddess of the living
earth. They said the importance of the ecological movement is that it
is all designed to worship the green goddess. The goddess of the earth.
In a book called "The Women's Spirituality" book author Diana Steen,
who is a goddess New Ager, explains "The goddess is alive. Magic is
afoot."

   It's the goddess and the horned god that most witches worship today.

   Recently in Seattle on a TV program the witches were saying "Why do
these people like Tex Mars criticize us?" One of the witch supporters
said "I am a witch and we never harm anyone. We simply love and protect
Mother Earth."

   And the host turned to me and said "Tex, are you persecuting these
witches? They say all they want to do is promote love of mother earth."
And I said "Ken, if they're so innocent and harmless, why do the
witches right here in this audience worship the horned God and invoke
the goddess in their ceremonies and rituals?"

   And he turned to the witch and said "Do you worship a horned god?
And do you invoke the name of the goddess in your rituals?" And the
witch smiled and said "Well, yes, we do call up and worship the horned
god, but that's not Satan."

   There may be some people fooled by that, but anyone who's read our
Holy Bible knows the identification of satan. He's really probably not
any horned God as the witches worship. But Satan is simply a spiritual
being, very advanced, very intelligent. He has you in his sights, and
we don't have any chance at all without God's word.

   In 1970 they had the first Earth day. Now 20 years later they're
having the second. The first symbol was the peace sign with a U.S. flag
inside. This was very, very sad. The peace sign is nothing more than a
satanic circle. What does the circle mean to Satan? It's his lie that
he is an eternal creature who will reign forever. That he will cast his
throne above God in the stars. Well that's a lie. Read Isaiah. 12 and
14 that Satan's boasts will amount to nothing for he will end up in the
pit.

   Now inside this satanic circle is the cross turned upside down. And
the bars of the cross are twisted and broken toward the earth - worship
of the earth and of the devil who is thought to be under the earth by
so many.

   The upside down cross mocks the crucifiction of Christ.

   Our whole million in our life is to serve Jesus and spread His word.
Get rid of these peace signs. They don't mean peace. It's an affront to
Christ.

   Some of the leaders of earth Day are the very people who gave us the
Harmonic Convergence - the great New age festival of a couple of years
ago.

   In a magazine called "A magical blend, " July, 1989, Hose R. Guales
was interviewed. He is deeply involved in this Earth Day and says it is
going to create an image in people's mind. "Whoever controls the image
controls the mind."

   Rev. 13 tells about an image - the image of the beast.

   He says "Operating out of Hollywood is very important for this New
Age celebration because Hollywood is the image capital of the world.

   He said "This is a campaign for the earth. The equivalent of World
War. We need that right now."

   So he's in Hollywood working full-time with some of the people who
put together the Academy Awards and they're involved in an organization
called earth celebrations 2000.

   These people are serious. They literally believe the earth is a
goddess and we need to cleanup the environment.

   How do you understand the New Age? Go to your Bible. Go to Jesus.
The New Age is simply a lie. Now they're not calling Earth Day the New
age. The New Age is not a popular name any more because they know
Christians have been alerted to the dangers of the New age. Now we're
going to see more and more of the environment. The earth. The green.
Because this is where the New Age is headed along with this goddess
movement.

   The most important thing to remember is Jesus Christ is alive. He
can give you the strength to overcome anything that comes your way. And
some day 1 :16-17, the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a
shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God and the
dead in christ shall rise first and we which are alive and remain shall
be called up in the clouds.....

   Can you believe being with the Lord in the air? How glorious that
will be! I believe it because it says so in the word of God.
