The Moses Code Movie Blasphemy and The Big Shift
Update: Since this article was published, the original movie trailer for the Moses Code was removed without explanation from both YouTube and the MosesCode.com website. They have replaced the original with a different one that does not contain the blasphemous, “I AM” statements referred to in this column. I look forward to their explanation as to why they felt they needed to remove it.

A movie will be unveiled on April 5 that should get a prize for honesty in blasphemy. Unlike the emerging church celebrity authors and speakers who shuck and jive when asked direct questions about God, salvation, and truth, The Moses Code is produced by those who will tell you right out what they believe. What they do believe is breathtaking in its Satanic audacity. In the original movie trailer, now removed mysteriously from YouTube and the MosesCode.com site, promoters of The Moses Code cheerfully announce that I AM is something all of us can say. Towards the end of the original clip, one young man looks up and into the camera and tells viewers, “I am the way, the truth, and the ‘light’.” The website says the following:
For the first time a major spiritual film release is being combined with a worldwide prayer vigil focused on shifting the planetary consciousness.
Join millions of people from every corner of the globe in learning the most powerful manifestation tool in the history of the world. Then on one momentous day we’ll use the code to promote peace and compassion for all beings through over 1000 gatherings worldwide.
This is the chance for humanity to use the Law of Attraction to create peace on the deepest level.
Coming on the heels of The Secret, the New Spirituality teachers featured in The Moses Code are in hopes that by teaching everyone about the power of declaring themselves God, they can help along the “Shift” in planetary consciousness that everyone is talking about today.
The Shift is the name of another movie under production featuring New Spirituality gurus like Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson, alongside leftist environmentalists like Al Gore and religious figures such as Archbishop Desmond TuTu. Their message is the same, as though it was taken from the same script.
“A massive worldwide phenomenon is in progress, offering seeds of great hope for the future…We are in the middle of the biggest social transformation in history, THE SHIFT.”
Working on the Evangelical end of things, emergent author Brian McLaren is also promoting a Big Shift, calling his nationwide tour, The Deep Shift Conference. A heretic who does not believe in hell and who rejects the penal substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, McLaren is taking his Shift Experience to Willow Creek Community Church in April where he will be teaching youth workers and pastors from evangelical churches across the country about how they need to change their ministries to accommodate the Big Shift in thinking.
Emergent authors Phyllis Tickle and Tony Jones are also on board promoting a big spiritual shift. They prefer to call it the “Great Emergence”. Speaking at the Zondervan sponsored National Pastor’s Convention this week, Phyllis and Tony have titled their speech, not surprisingly, “The Great Emergence.”
What is emerging is another Jesus and another gospel. The Big Shift that all of the New Spirituality gurus are buzzing about marks the advent of the worldwide apostasy that is now upon us. Just as the Lord assigns roles to fulfill in His Church, the enemy assigns roles for his purposes. Over the two decades of researching the New Spirituality teachers and the inroads they have made into evangelical churches, it is evident to me that deception comes in many forms today on many different levels. Whether it is the spiritual bubble gum from Joel Osteen that serves to deceive the shallow masses or whether it’s the quasi-intellectual postmodern poison served up to college students by men like McLaren, Rob Bell, Tony Jones, Doug Pagitt, Dan Kimball and so many others, it’s all deception working towards the same end.
It is one thing to identify the counterfeit Christ of Marianne Williamson or the latest New Age author on the Oprah Winfrey Show (Eckhart Tolle is her latest protégé ), but what happens when authors published by the big “Christian” publishers are saying the same things? What happens when our celebrity emerging church leaders are using the same language, calling for the same things, and promoting the same false doctrines that redefine Christ and the Scriptures as the New Spirituality authors?
Compare these two quotes. One is from a popular emerging author and speaker who spoke at a conference with men like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren and regularly rubs shoulders with those in the new Evangelicalism. The other quote is from one of the world’s leading New Spirituality heretics. Can you tell which is which?
Quote 1
“The first of these five untheorized observations is that New Light embodiment means to be “in connection” and ‘in-formation’ with other Christians. Deeper feeling and higher relating go together. The church is fundamentally one being, one person, a comm-union whose cells are connected to one another within the information network called the Christ consciousness. New Lights offer up themselves as the cosmions of a mind-of-Christ consciousness. As a cosmion incarnating the cells of a new body, New Lights will function as transitional vessels through which transforming energy can renew the divine image in the world, moving postmoderns from one state of embodiment to another.”
Quote 2
‘Third Jesus’ can be seen only when we move into a new human awareness that will carry us beyond tribe, prejudice and even beyond our religious systems. As a Christian, I welcome his insights into my Jesus and his provocative call to me to enter the ‘Christ Consciousness’ and thus to become more deeply and completely human.”.
The first quote is from emerging author Leonard Sweet who spoke at the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, attended by thousands of evangelical leaders from across the nation. It’s from his book, Quantum Spirituality, in which he thanks New Agers Willis Harmon, Matthew Fox and Ken Wilbur, to name a few, for their influence on him.
The second quote is from John Shelby Spong, in a book endorsement for Deepak Chopra’s brand new book, The Third Jesus, which is a brazen introduction of the cosmic Christ of the Big Shift everyone is talking about.
Both authors are talking about the same Christ-consciousness. They are describing the same thing—one from inside of evangelicalism, one from outside. Both popular author Rob Bell and occultist/New Spirituality teacher, Barbara Marx Hubbard, speak of being co-creators with God. Bell tells us in his latest Nooma video, “Open”, that creation is unfinished and that God needs us to be fellow creators with Him to finish the job
.…we have to understand that Jesus took very seriously the creation poem Genesis, that the Bible begins with. And in this creation poem God creates, but God creates things that are capable of creating more, and so God creates trees but then gives trees the ability to create more. God creates animals and plants and fish but then empowers them to create more. And then God creates people, and gives them the ability to create more. So everything in creation is essentially unfinished, God leaves the world unfinished, and invites people to take part in the ongoing creation of the world…
Hubbard’s occult “Christ” in her channeled book, The Revelation, instructs us about our participation as co-creators of the world.
“Those of you who hear these words are to carry on the commandment given to John two thousand years ago. You are not only to prophesy the end, the tribulations, and the New Jerusalem, you are to act it out. You are to discover the blueprint and become co-creators with God. You are to see the first fruits of the NEW BEGINNING.”
Yes, there is a Big Shift underway. The two spheres that were once irreconcilably opposed to one another, (Evangelicalism and New Spirituality) are coming together. The overlap has begun. But millions of evangelical Christians in the pews are distracted. They haven’t researched these issues. They don’t know their Bibles. They accept without question whatever Zondervan or Thomas Nelson put out. They watch the DVD’s their church screens like Rob Bell’s Nooma videos and they don’t catch the language. It is slippery. It is subtle, but the enemy is getting bolder with each passing day. There is a lack of sobriety and vigilance, and now the enemy is walking boldly in the front doors of our churches and Christian colleges.
At bottom, the New Spirituality blasphemers like the producers of The Moses Code are more honest than the emergents when they state openly that they believe they are the way, the truth and the life. At its core, their message is the same as many within the emerging “conversation”. The Bible is not a product of “Divine fiat”, Rob Bell says, “it’s a human product.” (Christianity Today, 11/1/04) The end result? We become God in our own minds. We can make things up as we go. Where does it all end? Rob Bell ends up promoting doctrines of demons—that we are co-creators with God, or rejecting the existence of hell, or the atonement, like Brian McLaren. That’s where it all ends. When you abandon a high view of Holy Scripture, your rebellion will take you places you never dreamed you would go. At some point, God blinds those who willingly believe a lie. With the full counsel of God in our hands, we are without excuse if we choose to participate in the Big Shift. The Shift is here, but those who serve the risen, ascended and glorified Lord Jesus Christ will stay separate. They will reject the anti-Christ doctrine of “oneness” of the New Spirituality and they will stay faithful at all costs.

Thank you so much for staying on top of this stuff! I have noticed over the last several years, an unsettling feeling when I see the direction many “bible” churches are headed. I could never put my finger on it but what you describe is exactly what I have noticed. I had Willow Creek tagged 6 years ago and thought, “something is just not quite right there.” Thank you for your research, your time and your passion for the truth. I am in the process of further investigating Eckhart Tolle becasue many of my friends have been asking me if I think his book is “good”. I know he is new age but it is so difficult to find a Biblical perspective on all this stuff because it is so new.
Anyway, may the Lord bless you as you pursue Truth and work to share it with others. Satan is moving in and it is even more difficult that ever to discern his schemes from the Truth.
Thanks again for all you do.

Oh yes…Lighthouse is a great site…disliked completely by false teachers.
I have purchased the book by Eckhart Tolle ” A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”.
He spends a lot of time trying to dismantle the ego, a concept that is central in “A Course in Miracles”. “A Course in Miracles” was written by a jewish woman who took “dictation” from a “Jesus” who said that the Bible was full of error. In reality she was a channeler channeling a demon.
Tolles book is another New Age book that is using scripture out of context to validate its searching “within” for the answers.
I am going to read and review this book next month.

Hi Kim, another shocking book racing out of Christian Bookshops is “The Shack.”
In it we have female god, a Trinity that become gods on earth, no resurrected jesus and many more falsities to lead gullible Christians into Eastern Mysticism.
Lifeway Christian Bookshops exclude most Pentecostal writers and yet have dozens of Emergent Church writers and this book on their shelves.
Figure that one out.

Kim,
As always, thanks for your discerning information and diligent research.
The book Leigh mentioned, “The Shack” is hugely popular and some people I admire have considered it quite impressive. Which makes me wonder, where is their discernment? Why, oh why are so many so easily deceived into thinking any of this stuff is of God?
Tim Challies did a great review on the book at http://www.challies.com/archives/book-reviews/the-shack-by-william-p-young.php

Hi NWP…
I friend sent me this article and i had to post it…
I read the book review and some of the comments. I hadn’t heard of it before. From the comments on Amazon it seems as though many truths are blended into the book making it hard to discern the truth…but the references to a female God? This should knock people over with the heresy.

KIM: I have purchased the book by Eckhart Tolle ” A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”.
RA: Well, we finally agree 100% on something. This book needs to be discussed and refuted at length. Go for it.

Alot of you arn’t ready for this global shift, as of a son of a very religious family background I’m starting to realize that religion is actually wrong and keeping us from really finding the truth about ourselves. I havn’t seen the movie yet but i understand that it doesn’t matter what race, color, religion or beliefs you have. Our true essence is Love and light, and we are made of Energy. We are gods it even says so in the bible. We have a right to choose as a whole our destiny and bring peace and love to everywhere. That movie gives us the know how which i can’t wait to see it. I’m also a big believer in Jesus’s teachings, if you look back what Jesus was really talking about and search for yourself. You’ll find that he was trying to lead people away from religion because it kept them from knowing who they really are. He did miracles because he knew how to access a certain energy which we all have. This is called the (life force) or known as chi or ki. Really open your minds up and step out of that box from what you’ve been taught all your life.
Listen very closely to what Mr. Tolle is saying and you’ll understand .
Here is something else you’ll have to look up (Quantum touch) This is the proof that we all have the ability to assist others in Healing. Exactly what Jesus was teaching and died on the cross for over 2,000 years ago. Like i said expand your minds a little bit and look away from Religion not that i’m saying religion is a bad thing. The real truth is inside of us all.
Energy, light
Peace and love to all

“We are gods it even says so in the bible.
Could you please show me where it says that in the bible?
“You’ll find that he was trying to lead people away from religion because it kept them from knowing who they really are. He did miracles because he knew how to access a certain energy which we all have.”
No! He did miracles and taught and did everything He did to prove and fulfill the prophecies in the O.T. about himself! To prove that he was and is indeed the Messiah that was spoken of by the prophets of old.
This is all about HIM! You have fallen for the deception that got mankind in trouble in the first place. The lie that we are gods.
Exd 34:14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord , whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
Deu 4:35 “To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.
Deu 4:39 “know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
1Ki 8:60 “that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other.
Isa 45:5 “I am the Lord , and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me,
Isa 45:14 Thus says the Lord : “The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours; they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will plead with you, saying: ‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other, no god besides him.‘”
Isa 45:18 For thus says the Lord , who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord , and there is no other.
Isa 45:21 “Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the Lord ? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me.
Isa 45:22 “Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
Isa 46:9 “remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
Dan 3:29 “Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”
Dan 11:37 “He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
Mat 22:29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Mat 27:54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son* of God!”
Luk 4:34 “Ha!* What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God.”
Luk 18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

I think the Bible says it all with Jesus entering only one Church and that is to tell them that this is wrong. This was the beginning of the Christian firebrands distorting the word of God. ‘In the beginning there was the word…’ No emotion, no forced rhetoric. NO ATTITTUDE. God didn’t SHOUT the world into existence. Yet each time these new-agers are on TV it seems they’re reading from a movie script where every action word is EMPHASISED.
