Many of us must have heard about the "New age Movement".However very few of us understand what it symbolizes.Because of this, I felt it would be necessary to give a detailed description of what the New age movement represents.

New Age Movement:
1st of all lets look at the meaning of the three words new,age and movement
New:
The English word New means something or someone that comes or occurs afresh.It could also mean something other than the former or the old:e.g: a new era.

From the definitions above we can conclude that New means a change from the old(existing state of things)

Age:
Age could be defined as the length of time during which a being or thing has existed or would exist.Since we are dealing with a change of age ,It means that an age is a particular period of Time, as distinguished from others(Synonyms of age are epoch or era)

Movement:
The word movement (as used in the context of the new age)Refers to a group of people or organizations tending toward or favoring a generalized common goal.

From these 3 definitions we can conclude that:
New=Change
Age=An epoch(Period of time)
Movement=A conspiracy of people with a common objective.

Therefore, the new age movement is a conspiracy of people who are united by their objective to usher in an era of change.Put in simple English it is a group of people dedicated to introducing change.Which takes us to our next question what is the change that these people want to usher in?

To understand the change these people represent I would want us to refer to the Bible:
Gen 2:25:"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed".
Gen 3:7:"And the "eyes" of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons".

From the above verses,We can see that Prior to eating from the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve were not conscious of the fact that they were naked.This was so because Their "eyes" were covered by Gods glory.All they could see was their loving maker.They were only concerned about living for him.They strove to be more like him not seeking anything for themselves.

The crafty serpent deceived Eve and made her to want to seek something for herself.He filled her heart with pride.He showed her all the things she could do without Bearing the true Gods image and fooled her into thinking that those were the things that made her god.Believing the serpent, she decided to partake of the fruit forbidden tree and also gave some of
