If you’ve ever read any of Chuck Pierce’s so-called prophecies, you will have undoubtedly noticed that the man seems to have a vocabulary all his own, using words which, to the uninitiated, make absolutely no sense at all — at least in the Christian context in which Mr. Pierce chooses to frame his words.
I’m talking here of words like shift, atmosphere, earth realm, energy, alignment, pillar and so on. Many of his writings also seems to place an unusual emphasis on colors, sounds and vibrations.
It is tempting to just dismiss him as a nut and not give him a second thought. I probably should have done that, but I’m a curious person. So I decided to try and figure out what, exactly, Chuck Pierce is trying to say. More importantly, I wanted to know where it’s all coming from.
Finally, I figured it out.
Chuck Pierce is a Kabbalist.What is Kaballah? Well, the short answer is this: a New Age form of Jewish mysticism.
If I have time at some later date, I’ll go into the subject in greater detail. In any case, you need to know that much, if not most, of what Chuck Pierce claims to be “Words from the Lord” is actually rooted in 1) Kabbalah, and/or 2) Astrology.
Let me give you just one example, taken from his latest “prophecy,” made on May 2, 2008. Mr. Chuck Pierce calls it “A KEY PROPHETIC WORD!”
Here’s an excerpt:
“I have come to make room for you to ascend to a new height. Extend your wings. Then extend them again. Stretch them to the left and the right. It is time for you to take flight! I AM coming down and cutting through the atmosphere that has been too thick for your vision to progress. I will take you through and over.”
Now, from Kabbalah 365, Daily Fruit from the Tree of Life:
“Although the air of the earthly atmosphere is thick in volume and mass, the mystery wisdom of the spirit realm still manages to enter this world because of the birds. For when the birds are in flight, their flapping wings cut through the thickness of the atmosphere, enabling in the moment for the mystery wisdom of the spirit realm to come through to our world.”
Oh, there’s more - much more.
Check out this statement from Chuck Pierce:
“I am sorting out those situations that are presently confining you. I am coming in with a sorting instrument to begin to sort that which has kept evil in your midst working against My best purpose for your life. I will sort out the confusion that is around you. I am sending help now. What you need will be sorted out and your path will be rearranged.“
Obviously, the operative word here is “sort.” Interestingly, Kabbalah has a thing or two to say about sorting:
“The Kabbalah is the quickest way to increase the brain capacity you actually use because the Kabbalah is a filing system. Your mind serves as a mail sorting room, where thousands of pieces of mail flow in to be sorted. The items that cannot be ’sorted’ are swept into a pile, which we call the subconscious. Kabbalah gives you ten slots (Sephiroth) to sort the incoming mind processes in to, and making things manageable!” - The Universal Kabbalah
“When we begin to study Kabbalah, we slowly learn to sort out our desires in order of coarseness. When the sorting is done, we determine which of our desires we can begin to correct.” - The Path of Kaballah
Not convinced? That’s okay, because relatively speaking, these little snippets are nothing. I just thought I’d take a brief look at the latest from Mr. Pierce. But there’s a lot more where this came from, and it’s much less subjective. This was really just a “shot across the bow,” if you will.
So please, be patient. There much to be said about Chuck Pierce’s teaching of Kabbalah, Astrology and Numerology under the guise of Christianity.
Chuck Pierce and Kabbalah: Month of Nissan from http://wyattroberts.blogspot.com/
In the first of our series of articles about Chuck Pierce and his promotion of Kabbalah, we take a look at the month of Nissan/Nisan.
According to Chuck Pierce, all months have some sort of spiritual (mystical, actually) significance. This, he claims, is because God created each month that way. Like much of what Mr. Pierce claims, however, that’s not in the Bible. So where did he come up with that idea? Quite simply, he got it from Kabbalah. Consider the following from the Sepher Yetzirah, one of the central texts of Kabbalah. On the month of Nisan, it says:
“God produced He [Hei], predominant in Speech, crowned, combined, and formed Aries in the world, Nisan in the year, and the right foot of man.”
Notice the emphasis on 1) the power of speech, 2) astrology (Aries is the Ram), and 3) the right foot. According to Kabbalah, each month is connected to some human sense or expression (sight, hearing, movement, etc.), an astrological zodiac sign (Aries, Leo, Gemini, etc.), as well as a part of the body (stomach, spleen, etc.).
It might interest you to know that Chuck Pierce follows this precise pattern in explaining the so-called significance of the Hebrew months. Here’s a summary of what Chuck Pierce has to say about the month of Nisan/Nissan:
“This month [Nisan] represents the annual renewal of God’s HEI plan…the month to decree, by speech, your future…This is the month of the RAM…where you put your best foot forward –the ‘right foot’ month.”
Keep in mind, Chuck Pierce made these statements specifically about the month of Nisan. Need more convincing? Here’s more:
MONTH OF REDEMPTION Kabbalah: Nissan is referred to as “the month of the redemption.” Pierce: This is the month of redemption.
ARIES/RAM/ASTROLOGY Kabbalah: “The Book of Formation says, ‘He crowned the letter Hei and created with it Aries in the world…’” Kabbalah: “God produced He [Hei]…and formed Aries in the world…’” Pierce: “This is the month of the RAM or (lamb). Look for your RAM in the bush.”
POWER OF SPEECH Kabbalah: “God produced He [Hei], predominant in Speech…” Kabbalah: “This world, created by the letter hei of Nissan, is one that is founded upon verbal communication.” Kabbalah: “Sense: Speech. — The sense of speech implies ones ability to express his deepest feelings…” Pierce: “This is the month to decree, by speech, your future. SPEAK FORTH your expected end…”
MIRACLES Kabbalah: Nissan is a month of miracles (nissim)….according to our sages, nissei nissim [means] ‘miracles of miracles.’” Pierce: This is the month of the beginning of miracles–BELIEVE!
RIGHT FOOT Kabbalah: “God produced He…Nisan in the year, and the right foot of man.” Kabbalah: “Controller: right foot. Just as “speaking” means “to lead,” so does one’s walking with one’s right foot, the foot of trust and confidence Pierce: “This is the “controller” month where you put your best foot forward–the “right foot” month.”
EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE Kabbalah: There are deep unsolved emotional residues bubbling up this month…Sad situations are shouting for help at this time. Kabbalah: It is going to be a month full of fire, meaning there is a strong energy pushing us forward, a drive to leave existing situations for a new reality, and new ideas and thinking. Kabbalah: These days provide us with the environment we need to work and build a positive consciousness to remove any negative actions we did and harmed in this life time or previous reincarnations, Pierce: Decree that all anxiety, fear, doubt, anger, frustration, guilt, jealousy, and envy from past iniquity in your life will be removed. Pierce: He paid for you by His BLOOD, so you could be released from any prison that is holding you. Pierce: Cut ties with any immorality that has been a part of your bloodline, or the land where you are the steward.
At the risk of stating the obvious, this is not a coincidence. Chuck Pierce is systematically and deceptively integrating New Age mysticism, in the form of Kabbalah, into Christianity — and the folks at Elijah List have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
So there you have it. That’s the month of Nissan according to Chuck Pierce, the Kabbalist. Only eleven months to go.
Until I get around to my next post, you might want to research this on your own. Here are some of the links I used for this article:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/yetzirah.htm http://www.inner.org/times/nissan/nissan.htm https://www.kabbalah.com/k/index.php/p=life/astrology/aries http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/6345 http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/4045
Pierce is part of the so called Super Apostles and Super Prophets of the Kansas City Prophets that ascribe to William Branham's Latter Rain Heresy of the 1940's. This movement actually believes they are elevated "prophets" who have the Old Testament "Office of the Prophet" (different than common, New Testament prophecy that Paul tells all Christians to "be ambitious for". This little article on Pierce's lies and deceptions in the name of Jesus Christ is nothing compared to the other scandals and fakery practiced with straight faces by these non Biblical false prophets. But, because of the ignorance of a lot of modern day Charismatics, they buy this Elijah List stuff hook, line and sinker, to their deception.
Pierce and his cronies, C Peter Wagner, Che Ahn, Rick Joyner, Cindy Jacobs et all, are known for their long record of false prophecies and windy, flattering words that actually end up harming the Christians that believe them. This group had a strangely ritualistic laying on of hands last month of their money-making boy, Todd Bentley, in Lakeland Florida. Conveniently missing this nearly demonic ceremony were Pierce (this scandal of his theft of the Kabballah in his monthly prophesies had just come out) and Bob Jones and Paul Cain (who both had been recently unveiled for their apostasy and lying prophecies surrounding Todd's demonic angel "Emma".) But, once the hoopla dies down, Pierce will be back, despite never repenting of stealing from the Kabballah for years and tricking sincere Christians with this lying deception. Right after this article came out in May, Pierce reverted to a more normal "prophecy" of the month -- but then this author did some research and found out Pierce had recycled his summer 2008 prophecy from 2004!
This man is a liar and dangerous to the body of Christ. He needs to be solidly and soundly rebuked. This scandal cannot be dismissed, ignored or overlooked -- though Pierce is keeping a low profile until September when he hopes this will all blow over. He is banking on the short memory spans of sincere Charismatics.
A good idea.
I probably should have done that, but I’m a curious person. So I decided to try and figure out what, exactly, Chuck Pierce is trying to say.
OK, fair enough.
Finally, I figured it out. Chuck Pierce is a Kabbalist.
Yup, he's a nut.
Kabballah is not “New Age”. It has been part of Jewish tradition for millenia. True Kaballah is still practiced by Hasidic Jews.
That isn’t to say that some new-age religious types haven’t added kaballah teachings to their fusionist, new age religious practices
