Ephesians 6 is not a metaphor. A veteran journalist traces the spiritual rebellion from Lucifer to the United Nations — and asks whether the church is paying attention.

Dear Christian: the war you read about in Ephesians 6 is not a metaphor, and it did not end in the first century. The Apostle Paul warned that our struggle is “not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). Alex Newman of The New American has spent his career documenting how literally that verse reads when you trace the architects of the modern globalist agenda back to their actual source.

On Behind the Deep State, Newman lays out what he calls a 4,000-year war on God — a rebellion that began before human history and continues in the boardrooms, classrooms, and global institutions of our own day. It is a heavy interview. It demands a Christian’s full attention.

What follows is not an endorsement of every name Newman puts on his chart. It is an attempt to grapple honestly with what he sets out — to test the spirits, weigh the claims, and ask the harder question Newman keeps returning to: are believers paying attention?

The War Did Not Begin in Washington

Newman starts where Scripture starts. The rebellion did not begin with the United Nations or the World Economic Forum. It began in heaven.

Isaiah 14 records Lucifer’s defiance: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God… I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14). One-third of the angelic host followed him into rebellion (Revelation 12:4), and the same lie was carried into Eden — “ye shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5). Every subsequent attempt by man to throw off God’s order, Newman argues, is downstream of that same temptation. Be your own god. Cast off the cords. Build the tower.

The Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 is Newman’s archetype for what comes next. After the flood, humanity united under one language and one project: build a tower to heaven, make a name for themselves, refuse the divine command to scatter. God’s response was not merely punitive but protective. He confused the language and dispersed the nations — what Newman calls “a divine safeguard against unchecked global tyranny.” Borders, nations, and distinct cultures are not arbitrary lines on a map. They are God’s design for limiting concentrated evil.

That is why every modern push toward a borderless one-world order — economic, political, religious — should give the Christian pause. The pattern is the same. The tower is the same. Only the building materials have changed.

Marx, Owen, and the Founders of Modern Rebellion

Newman traces the modern phase of the war through specific historical figures whose stated goals were the destruction of God’s order. Two of his case studies deserve attention because they are documented from primary sources, not inferred.

The first is Robert Owen, the Welsh industrialist and founder of the failed socialist colony at New Harmony, Indiana. On July 4, 1826 — the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — Owen delivered what he called the “Declaration of Mental Independence.” His actual words are a matter of public record: “Man, up to this hour, has been, in all parts of the earth, a slave to a trinity of the most monstrous evils that could be combined to inflict mental and physical evil upon the whole race. I refer to private property, absurd and irrational systems of religion, and marriage founded upon individual property.”

Property, religion, marriage. Owen named the three God-ordained institutions of human society and called them monstrous evils to be abolished. That is not Newman’s interpretation. That is Owen’s stated platform from his own pulpit.

The second case is Karl Marx. Newman leans heavily on Richard Wurmbrand’s 1986 book Marx and Satan, in which the Romanian pastor — tortured fourteen years in communist prisons — assembled the case that Marx was not merely an atheist but a conscious enemy of the God of Scripture. Wurmbrand quotes Marx’s own youthful poetry, including lines like “I shall build my throne high overhead” and references to making a pact with “the prince of darkness.” Wurmbrand’s thesis has been disputed by historians who argue that the poetry of a young man does not prove Satanism in the man he became. That is a fair caution. But Wurmbrand’s larger point survives the methodological debate: whether or not Marx personally venerated Satan, the system he built — atheist, anti-family, anti-property, anti-nation — inverts every divine ordinance Owen had already named. The fruit Jesus told us to watch for (Matthew 7:16) has poured from Marxism in a torrent of blood across a hundred years and a hundred million corpses.

You do not need to accept every line of Wurmbrand’s thesis to see what Newman sees. The animating spirit of these movements — the will to abolish God’s order — is the same spirit Paul named in Ephesians 6.

The Lucis Trust and the United Nations

If the historical material is debatable in places, the present-day documentation is not. The single hardest fact Newman puts on the table — and the one that most Christians have never heard — is the relationship between the United Nations and an organization called the Lucis Trust.

The facts are not in dispute. The organization was founded in 1922 by Alice Bailey, a theosophist and disciple of Helena Blavatsky, under its original name: the Lucifer Publishing Company. The name was later softened to Lucis Trust, but the founders’ explanation of the original name is on the public record — they meant “light-bringer” in the theosophical sense, the same sense in which Bailey wrote that Lucifer was a liberator of humanity from the oppressive God of the Bible. Lucis Trust has held official consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 1989. It maintains offices near UN headquarters in New York and operates the World Goodwill organization, which is recognized as a UN-affiliated NGO and participates in regular UN briefings.

The UN Meditation Room — a stark chamber with a black stone altar at UN headquarters in New York — was designed with input from Bailey’s circle. Robert Muller, who served as Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and won the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1989, openly credited Bailey’s channeled “Master” Djwhal Khul as the inspiration for his World Core Curriculum, which Muller proposed should be taught in every school in every country.

None of this is Alex Newman speculating. It is documented in Lucis Trust’s own published materials and in the UN’s NGO registry. A Christian can decide for himself what to make of it. But he should at least know it exists.

The Secret Societies and the Question of Bush

Newman extends the analysis to American institutions — Skull and Bones at Yale, the Bohemian Grove gathering in California, and the genealogy of presidents and power brokers who have passed through both. Independent journalism, photographs, and a now-extensive body of insider testimony confirm that both organizations exist, that both employ explicit occult ritual imagery, and that prominent American political figures including both George Bushes and John Kerry are documented members.

What we will not do in this space is connect every dot Newman connects. The leap from “documented member of a secret fraternity” to “conscious participant in a Satanic conspiracy” is one Newman makes in his own voice, and it is the kind of leap that requires more evidence than a membership roster. What is undeniable is that powerful men gather in private to perform rituals they will not discuss publicly, in organizations whose symbology consistently mocks the things of God. That is a fact worth knowing. The interpretation Newman draws from it is his to make.

What the Christian Does With This

It would be tempting to walk away from a piece like this either dismissive (“conspiracy theory”) or paralyzed (“the enemy is everywhere”). Both responses fail the test of Scripture.

Paul did not tell the Ephesian church to ignore the principalities and powers. He told them to “put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). To stand requires knowing what you are standing against. Willful ignorance is not the same thing as faith.

At the same time, Paul did not write Ephesians 6 to inspire conspiracy charts. He wrote it to send Christians into battle clothed in truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God — and praying always. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God (2 Corinthians 10:4). Our task is not to map every cell of the rebellion. Our task is to be faithful in our own corner of it.

And to know — really know, in the way that lets you sleep at night — what the psalmist saw three thousand years ago. “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed… He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm 2:1-4).

The conspiracy is real. Its architects are not anonymous. And the Lord laughs at them.

What You Do This Week

Watch the full interview. Newman covers more than this article can. Test his claims against your own reading of Scripture and history.
Read Ephesians 6 with your family this Sunday. Verse by verse. Then ask the children to name the pieces of the armor and what each one is for. This is not a metaphor. They will face this fight.
Examine your children’s education. Newman is right that the spirit of Robert Owen lives on in modern public schooling. If the institution forming your children’s minds is at war with what God says is true, you are paying a discipleship program to undo your own discipleship.
Refuse the new-age vocabulary. “Oneness.” “The universe.” “My truth.” These are not neutral words. They belong to a different theology than the one Scripture teaches. Christians can use plain English: God, sin, repentance, Christ, salvation.

The battle is real, but so is our God. Babel rose, and Babel fell. Rome rose, and Rome fell. Every tower of pride from Eden to the present hour has come down, and every one yet to be built will come down with it. “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).

Our calling is not to win the war by ourselves. The Lamb has already won it. Our calling is to be found standing — armor on, eyes open, lamps lit — when the King returns.

Key Takeaways

Alex Newman of The New American frames the globalist agenda as a spiritual rebellion traceable through Scripture (Isaiah 14, Genesis 3, Genesis 11) — not merely a political or economic project.
The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) is the biblical archetype of one-world rebellion against God; the scattering of nations was God’s protection against concentrated tyranny.
Robert Owen’s 1826 “Declaration of Mental Independence” openly named private property, religion, and marriage as a “trinity of monstrous evils” to be abolished — a matter of public record.
Newman cites Richard Wurmbrand’s Marx and Satan to argue Marx was a conscious enemy of biblical religion, not a neutral atheist; the historical thesis is contested, but the fruit of Marxism speaks for itself.
The Lucis Trust — founded in 1922 as the Lucifer Publishing Company — holds official UN consultative status and has influenced UN spiritual and educational programs since the 1980s.
Robert Muller, former Assistant UN Secretary-General, credited Alice Bailey’s channeled spiritual “Master” as the inspiration for his World Core Curriculum.
American secret societies including Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove are documented; the leap from membership to conscious conspiracy is one Newman makes, not a fact VCA asserts independently.
Ephesians 6:12 names the real combatants: principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places.
The Christian response is not paranoia but armor — truth, righteousness, faith, the Word of God, and prayer (Ephesians 6:13-18).
Hope is grounded in Psalm 2 and Revelation 11:15 — the Lord laughs at the conspiracy of the rulers, and the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of Christ.
