Ideologically, the ZeitSchrift combines conservative to reactionary Christian-Puritan morality, theosophical esoteric doctrines, anti-Semitism and spreads world conspiracy theories, in particular the conspiracy-theoretical theses of Jan van Helsing , and anti-democratic, theocratic political models. In addition to the “Universal Church”, it also advertises its preliminary organization “World Foundation for Natural Science”, which was founded in 1993.
