In
the last book of the Bible, Jesus Christ gives His Last warning before He
returns the second time. This Last Day warning is found in chapters 13, 14,
16, 17 & 18 of the Book of Revelation. Jesus warns His people about how
the whole world will be deceived into worshipping Satan, symbolized as the
Seven Headed Dragon attacking a woman, a symbol of the True Faith.
In
Revelation 13:4, 8, 9 Jesus' prediction about the worship of Satan throughout
this world may be read: "And they WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast? Who is able to make war with him? ... And all that dwell upon the earth
SHALL WORSHIP HIM, WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB
SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. If any man have an ear, let him
hear."
The
Apostle John wrote: "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have
heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby
we know that it is the last time." 1.John 2:18.The Apostle Paul warned:
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped: so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God." 2.Thessalonians 2:3,4. There are various ways
our Lord has made known to His followers how to detect Satan who is the
invisible head of a partly religious and partly political movement. Revelation
13:18 warns it would be branded with the number 666. In Revelation 17:5 our
Lord describes this satanic movement that is antichrist in a symbol of a lewd
beautiful woman. And upon her forehead was a name written, "MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
The
very last warning our Lord is now giving the deceived world is found in
Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT
OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, AND THAT YE RECEIVE
NOT OF HER PLAGUES."
There
are three distinct messages symbolized as three angels in Revelation 14.
Revelation 14:6, 7 is calling the world away from the worship of the Dragon,
to worship God who created the heaven, earth, and the sea, and the fountains
of waters. In Revelation 14:8 it tells how Babylon the Great is fallen and how
she has made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
However, in Revelation 14:9,10 we read the most solemn warning ever given to
the world, of which most are completely ignorant. Satan is hardly ever
mentioned in many Christian circles, much less how he is predicted in
Scripture to lead most to lose their salvation.
"And
the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship
the beast and his image, and receive his MARK in his forehead, or in his hand,
the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb." Revelation 14:9,10. God reveals that all nations
have already been deceived by "Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots
and Abominations of the Earth." And our Lord is calling His people out of
Babylon. But, the question to most is, what is Babylon? This is the whole
purpose of this book. It is to lay wide open for all to see what the sins of
Babylon the Great are, and who she is, and who this mysterious scarlet colored
beast is that she is riding on, as described in Revelation 17:1-8.
While
we study the history and the nature of "Babylon the Great (and of the
Beast that is carrying her)," we will learn that there was, is, and
always shall be in this world, avowed worshippers of Lucifer. Some will be
shocked to learn that Luciferians have lived and died in promoting the worship
of Lucifer through Babylonian, Egyptian and Druid Witchcraft, and are
determined to overthrow all religions and governments. Their goal is to unite
the world into a One World Government, and exalt Lucifer as the only god of
this world!
As
we continue to study the nature of "Babylon the Great," we will
study the philosophies of "Wicca" Wicca is the modern version of
Babylonian, Egyptian, and Druid Witchcraft with millions of both male and
female members. We will learn how apostles of Lucifer in the past and present
are using Secret Societies, Communism, International Banking, Christian
fronts, social issues to further their plans. We will learn how these modern
day witches are ever determined to overthrow the worship of Jesus Christ and
Christianity by using subliminal warfare (Mind Sciences), and physical force.
This Luciferian plot to destroy all religions and all governments, so that a
One World Luciferian Government may be established, is coming today, in what
is known as "The Aquarian Age," or "The New Age Movement."
In Latin it is called Novus Ordo Seclorum (New Order for the Ages). But its
real, concealed name is The Illuminati. And, it will be shown that it was from
the Secret Order of The Illuminati, that Communism was derived!
We
will study the origin of the number 666, and who today is branded with it. We
will study the Mark of the Beast with whom no true follower of Jesus will
identify. We will take a journey through documentive history starting with
Lucifer's rebellion in Heaven, and continue to expose through history how
Lucifer was worshipped, both ignorantly and openly, through the astrological
systems of Sun worship. After the camouflages have been removed from paganism
that reveal it was in reality Satan who was worshipped as the Sun-god, then we
shall remove all the camouflages Lucifer is hiding behind today, through false
systems of Christianity, and through an international political movement for a
One World Government.These two symbols, "Babylon the Great" and the
Beast that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit, will be carefully studied and
understood later on in the book. However, before the ordinary reader can
comprehend any of these things, we must go back into history to the time of
Adam and Eve, and to the time of Noah and Nimrod.
The
origin of lies traces to Lucifer (Genesis 3:4). And the origin of false
religion also began with Lucifer. In Isaiah 14:12-15 we read: "How art
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most
High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit."
It
has been Lucifer's plan from ancient times to gradually unite this entire
world into a One World Government that would reject its Creator and worship
Lucifer instead. Lucifer before his fall was the most exalted angel next to
Christ. The "son of the morning" stood in the presence of God with
Christ. He was the covering Cherub, the lightbearer for God. However, Lucifer
began to think of himself as equal in splendor and wisdom to God. He began to
think he also deserved worship from the Lord's servants, and began to plot
against the Lord of Heaven. Lucifer, the covering Cherub, did set his face to
overthrow the worship of God. Lucifer did not at once reveal his covetousness.
If he had exposed all of his plans to the Universe, where sin and rebellion at
that time were not known, he would not have gained much following.
Lucifer's
plot to overthrow the government of Heaven would take long and careful
planning. Little by little, Lucifer began to find others whose sympathy he
could gain by criticizing how the Lord managed the affairs of the Universe.
Lucifer tried to make the God of Love, the Lord of the Sabbath, appear to be a
selfish tyrant. Lucifer, assuming the guise of godliness, led many Heavenly
Beings to come over to his side by misrepresenting God's character, as if God
Himself were the Evil One. Lucifer sowed seeds of murmuring, complaining and
strife which germinated into rebellion, and caused divisions among the angels
of Heaven. Lucifer tried to weaken the unity of Heaven, thinking this would
weaken the power of the Almighty. However, only one third of the Heavenly host
chose the side of the god of confusion. The whole Universe chose only two
sides; there was no middle ground. There was war in Heaven between Christ and
Lucifer. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9.
The
very plans Lucifer tried to execute in Heaven, he is now conditioning the
people of the world to accept. Just as Satan, or Lucifer, concealed his real
plans from the angels in Heaven in the beginning to overthow the worship of
God, so is Lucifer trying today to overthrow the True worship of God among the
inhabitants of this world. Just as Satan did not suddenly expose his real
plans that would have demanded the worship of him by Heavenly Beings, so has
Satan camouflaged the worship of himself among earthly beings, through a
world-wide network of gods and goddesses, and later through false systems of
Christianity.
Sun
worship was the greatest rival religion of the worship of Jehovah in the Old
Testament. It was through Sun worship that the worship of Lucifer was
camouflaged throughout this world. Those who obeyed the pagan precepts were
actually bowing their knee before the Devil, not gods as they thought.
"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16.
As
the angels of Heaven chose sides before Lucifer was cast out of heaven, so
will the people of this world join into two distinct groups before the end of
this age. The line of distinction, which will be studied in detail in the
closing chapter, will be drawn by the Mark of the Beast foretold in Revelation
13: 11-18 and 14:6-13.
The
Luciferian plot to overthrow the worship of Jesus has always worked in secret,
using camouflages to remain hidden. It has not come upon the world suddenly,
but little by little. Likewise, we must also trace this history of the great
Luciferian Conspiracy little by little. We will expose how primitive man was
deceived into worshipping Lucifer, then bring the reader down through the
centuries and show how Lucifer is being worshipped in these modern 1990's.
To
begin this study, let's take a closer look at the name "Lucifer"
itself. The name "Lucifer" in Latin means "Light-Bearer"
and may also mean the planet Venus, which is the "morning star at
dawn"[2]. In Greek mythology, Lucifer was personified as a male figure
bearing a torch[3]. Hence, we have the origin of the Light-Bearer of the
Olympic Games. The Greek transliteration of the name of this incarnation of
Lucifer in the myth was Teitan. In middle English his name was Titan, which
also meant "Sungod"[4]. .A distorted record of the rebellion of
Lucifer and that of the rebel giant Nimrod has been preserved in Greek
mythology. Titan (Teitan), the personification of Lucifer, was the ancestor of
a race of giant humans here on earth who were overthrown by the Olympian
gods[6]. Hence, the word titan today means "one gigantic in size or
power." And, the word titanism today in our language means "spirit
of rebellion; or a defiance of and revolt against the established order or
authority"[6].
As
Lucifer was the chief leader that led the angelic host to rebel against God,
so did Nimrod cause the early descendants of Noah to rebel against God.
Flavius Josephus, the ancient Jewish historian, wrote about Nimrod and how he
seduced the people of his day to rebel against God, and was first to teach the
arts of masonry, while building the "Tower of Babel." From the book
"The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus", we read the following:
"
... Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God.
He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength
of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his
means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which
produced that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into
tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from fear of God, but to bring
them into a constant dependence on his own power. He also said he would be
revenged on God, if he would have a mind to drown the world again, for that he
would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! And that he
would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers!
"Now
the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to
esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower,
neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work.
And by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high,
sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it
was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to
be less than it really was." (The Complete Works of Flovius Josephus,
Whiston, Kregel Publications, 1960, 1978, p.30.)
Nimrod
tried to unite the whole known world of his day into a One World Government
that would be anti-God or Antichrist. But God wanted the sons of Noah to
eventually replenish the earth by traveling abroad the earth and settling in
colonies. This would have kept in check the wickedness that has always derived
out of the cities. In the beginning, it was not intended that man be crowded
together in large cities. This tower of Babel, the building of which Nimrod
supervised, was to have two great significances. The city of Babel would
become the metropolis of the world and unite its inhabitants under the
dictatorial rule of Nimrod. And its tower was to be a monument to man to stand
as a symbol of the wisdom of its builders.
By
building the city of Babel, Nimrod hoped to prevent the people from scattering
abroad into colonies as the Lord intended. While in the midst of this
building, when the tower reached an height that it could today be called
"skyscraper," our Lord came against it. In Genesis 11:3-9 we read:
"And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And
they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face
of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have one language; and this they began to do: and now nothing
will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go
down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face
of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name
of it Babel (confusion); because the Lord did there confound the language of
all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face
of all the earth."
Nimrod,
who also built Nineveh, was worshipped by its early inhabitants under his
deified name "Ninus." He was first to incite people to war with
their neighbors after the confusion of tongues had scattered the early
descendants of Noah over the earth. Trogus Pompeius, who wrote of Ninus,
states that the first King of Nineveh caused the people to war against
themselves. Alexander Hislop compiled this statement written by Trogus
Pompeius, the ancient historian, in his book The Two Babylons, p. 23:" 'Ninus,
king of Assyrians,' says Trogus Pompeius epitomised by Justin, 'first of all
changed the contented moderation of the ancient manners, incited by a new
passion, the desire of conquest. He was the first who carried on war against
his neighbours and he conquered all nations from Assyria to Lybia, as they
were yet unacquainted with the arts of war.'"
Hislop
goes on to quote another ancient historian named Diodorus Siculus and shows
how Trogus Pompeius and Siculus both agree with each other.
"
'Ninus, the most ancient of the Assyrian kings mentioned in history, performed
great actions. Being naturally of a warlike disposition, and ambitious of
glory that results from valeur, he armed a considerable number of young men
that were brave and vigorous like himself, trained them up a long time in
laborious exercises and hardships, and by that means accustomed them to bear
the fatigues of war, and to face dangers with intrepidity.' " Loizeaux
Brothers, Neptune, NJ, 1916.
Hence,
Nimrod (Ninus) was celebrated at Nineveh, which he built, as a War-god, and
his epics as a hunter, a warrior, and his death were later imitated in the
Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and American Indian Mysteries.
His Egyptian name was Osiris[7]. To the Romans, he was also worshipped as Mars
(which means "The Rebel"), from which our name March was derived.
He
was Zernebogus to the Anglo-Saxon, which means: "The Seed of the Prophet
Cush"[8]. But, Nimrod's ancient Babel name was Merodach, which means
"To Be Bold, or Rebel"[9]. So here we find the real meaning of these
two gods found in Scripture: "Bel (The Confounder) is confounded,
Merodach (The Rebel) is broken in pieces Jeremiah 50:2)." We will study
more of the origin of the name "Bel" later.In the Babylonian myth of
Tammuz, or Thammuz (the equivalent to the Egyptian god Osiris, who actually
was Nimrod, the ringleader in the great apostacy against our Lord, was ordered
to be killed by a certain king. The reason given for his death was that Tammuz,
the incarnation of the Sun-god, tried to promote the worship of Astrology to
this certain king. However, this king ordered him to be put to death.
Maimonides, another ancient historian, had read deeply into the learning of
the Chaldeans. He describes this myth, quoted by Hislop in The Two Babylons,
p. 62:
"When
the false prophet named Thammuz preached to a certain king that he should
worship the seven stars and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, that king ordered
him to be put to a terrible death. On the night of his death all the images
assembled from the ends of the earth into the temple of Babylon, to the great
golden image of the Sun, which was suspended between heaven and earth. That
image prostrated itself in the midst of the temple, and so did all the images
around it, while it related to them all that had happened to Thammuz. The
images wept and lamented all the night long, and then in the morning they flew
away, each to his own temple again, to the ends of the earth. And hence arose
the custom every year on the first day of the month of Thammuz to mourn and to
weep for Thammuz."
Now,
in the worship of the Sun-god among the Mexicans, they believed that for the
Sun-god to bestow life on the world, he needed also to receive life from it
[10]. To show the reader the murderous character of Satan displayed in people,
and what human beings can be led to do by his false religious spirit, we will
explore some of the reasons behind the rites of human sacrifices.
To
the ancient Mexicans, the heart was the seat and symbol of life, and bleeding
hearts of men and animals were presented to the Sun-god to maintain him in
vigor and enable him to run his course across the sky [11]. Now, when the
Israelites turned their backs from worshipping the Lord, they adopted the
worship of the pagan gods from their neighbors. And they too were led by pagan
high priests to sacrifice human beings. "They joined themselves also unto
Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices of the dead. Thus they provoked the Lord to
anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. And they
served their idols which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto DEVILS and shed innocent blood, even the blood
of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of
Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood." Psalms 106:28, 29, 36-38.
The
ignorant Israelites were not sacrificing their children to gods, as they
thought, but unto devils. Paul, over 1000 years later, said the sacrifices of
the Gentiles which the Israelites adopted were actually "Sacrifices to
Devils." "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice,
they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils." 1.Corinthians 10:20.As history has documented,
that greatest object in pagan worship was the sun, who was symbolized all over
the world as a heavenly bull [12]. The pagans displayed the cosmic god in
their arts as a bull standing on its hind legs with a tail, hoofs and horns,
with a man's head and arms, with a threeprong pitchfork in his hand. So the
ancient cosmic symbol of the Sun-god, with hoofs, a tail, horns and a
pitchfork, is where we today get our symbol for Satan as having hoofs, a tail,
and horns, with a pitchfork in his hand.
In
pagan philosophy, lightning was the manifestation of their god's wrath and an
agent of his punishment. The thunder was the voice of his warnings [13]. In
ancient Greece, thunder and lightning were believed by the worshippers of Zeus
to be manifestations of his presence. Any spot struck by lightning became
sacred. The very name "Zeus" (skt. dyaus, "The Bright
Sky") identifies him as the god of the sky and its phenomena [14]. In
Rome he was worshipped as Jupiter, in Scandinavia, Thor, and in Canaan, Baal,
the Storm god.
Lightning
from the sky separates into branches; hence, the lightning bolt found in the
hand of the supreme god of the sky was stylized into a pitchfork. This was a
symbol for his power, as he who controls the lightning bolt. Besides Satan's
personation of Christ just before Jesus' Second Coming, what other power of
God is the second beast of Revelation 13:11-17 going to counterfeit through
lying wonders? "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." And this is still
future.
The
prince of the power of the air is also the prince of darkness. Just as the
pagan was deceived by Satan in ancient times, so is the Christian in modern
times. And, if man can learn how to bring electricity down from the sky and
harness its energy, how much more could Satan, a supernatural being, who is
even called in the Bible "The Prince of the Power of the Air"
(Ephesians 2:2), able to cause destructive storms! And not only this, but also
give his followers secret knowledge how to do the same to their enemies.
Because the Sun-god was believed to have this power and would also give it to
his followers, if they were obedient, or would zap his enemies with his bolt,
the pagans worshipped their gods through fear. In Bible Truth, it is the
goodness of God that turns an evil person to worship Him (Romans 2:4). But in
pagan belief, it was the anger of the Storm god, his hatred for man, his
unmerciful attributes, that made the pagans bow before him. Not through love,
but through fear. Their whole worship revolved around winning the evil one's
favor by pacifying him through sacrifice and appeasement.
The
main features behind the pure demon worship of ancient Babylon can be seen
today by the open worship of the Yezidis of Kurdistan, Armenia, and the
Caucasus. In their pagan worship they believe it is "Melek Taus,"
who is the Devil, that was the co-creator of the world [15]. Their religion
today is the worship of both Good and Evil, or Christ and Satan. They have
adopted some heretical elements of Christianity, and some precepts of Islam.
They regard Jesus as an angel in human form and recognize Muhammad as a
Prophet with Abraham. They practice circumcision and baptism. Instead of
Christ as the creative agent of the Godhead (Ephesians 3:10), they regard the
Devil as the creative agent of the Supreme God, and seek even today to
(appease) him as the author of evil. They also avoid mentioning the name of
the Devil in fear of offending him [16]. We will study another religious
movement that has the dualism of good and evil to be worshipped from today's
Rock Era a little later. This study should be particularly interesting for
people who called themselves Christians during the epidemic of the Beatle
hysteria.
The
Yezedis, like most pagans, believe their destinies are not determined by a
good, loving, kind and gentle God, but by the Evil One, who has no mercy, who
delights in destroying mankind. They believe that the good God will forgive no
matter how they regard him. But, it is the Evil One whose favor they must
secure. He, as the destructive deity, must be pacified by offering him
sacrifice, penance, and worship. Is this not similar to how multitudes who
call themselves Christians are led to worship the Lord of the Scriptures? Is
it not pictured by erring priests and pastors that God is a vengeful God, who
is ever waiting to cast the unrepentant into a burning place of torment, or
sent the repentant to purgatory, so they may be tortured by fire until they
suffer enough to be purified for Heaven? Is it not screamed, dramatized and
shouted to congregations about how gruesome are the tortures of them who are
now, so they say, in Hell, the burning place of torment?
There
is hardly a Christian denomination that doesn't teach the doctrine of Life
After Death or Immortality of the Soul. But the Bible clearly states that no
one lives on after death. "For the living know that they shall die: But
THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING, neither have they any more a reward: for the
memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their
envy, is now perished: neither have they any more a portion for ever in any
thing that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5,6.If the wicked are
tormented in Hell Fire as taught by most Christian priests and pastors, when
the wicked die, would they not have some knowledge of the torment they are
supposed to be experiencing? "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might: For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grove, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes 9:10.
If
the righteous go to Heaven after death as taught in most Christian churches,
would they not be praising the Lord? The Bible says: "The Dead Praise Not
The Lord, Neither Any That Go Down In Silence." Psalms 115:17.
If
man goes to Heaven at death like most Christian churches tell their members,
wouldn't these righteous people have some thoughts or ideas where they are?
The Bible says: "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in
that VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH." Psalm 146:4.Some go to the gravesites
to talk to their dead friends or relatives, but the Bible says: "His sons
come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low but he
perceiveth it not of them." Job 14:21. "For in death there is NO
REMEMBRANCE OF THEE, IN THE GRAVE WHO SHALL GIVE THEE THANKS?" Psalms
6:5.
Jesus
plainly stated that the dead are still in the graves at His Second Coming, not
in Heaven: "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
is, WHEN THE DEAD SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF GOD: AND THEY THAT HEAR
SHALL LIVE." ... "MARVEL NOT AT THIS: FOR THE HOUR IS COMING, IN
WHICH ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, AND SHALL COME FORTH;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." John 5:25,28,29.
Both
the wicked and the righteous are still in their graves. However, there is a
Hell Fire where the wicked will surely be destroyed. But this is still future.
This hell fire comes from Heaven, not from some secret place where the dead
are now receiving their punishment. The Devil is not in charge of some secret
place called Hell that is under the earth where all the wicked have been
thrown. Nor does the Devil run around with his pitchfork, sticking and burning
the wicked both day and night. The fire will be from Heaven and will destroy
the wicked and also the Devil himself. Revelation 20.
Peter
foretold Christ's Second Coming would be in fire: "The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering to
us-word, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the
which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall
MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE
BURNED UP." 2.Peter 3:9, 10.David foretold Christ's Second Coming 1,000
years before Jesus was born. In Psalm 50:3-5, we read: "Our God shall
come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall
be tempestuous round about Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and
to the earth, that He may Judge His people. Gather my saints together unto me;
those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
Paul
also foretold that Jesus would be a consuming fire to those who have rejected
the Gospel. 2.Thessalonians 1:7-9, "And to you who are troubled rest with
us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not
the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His
power." In Isaiah 29:6 we read: "Thou shalt be visited of the Lord
of hosts with THUNDER, AND WITH EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT NOISE, WITH STORM AND
TEMPEST AND THE FLAME OF DEVOURING FIRE."
The
doctrine of the wicked being thrown into ever burning fire cannot be found in
either the Old or New Testaments, but it is found on the pages of Sun worship.
The Hell Fire Jesus plainly described in Scripture has two time periods. There
are two different times fire and brimstone shall rain from Heaven. The first
shall be at Christ's Second Coming. But the consuming fire that finally
destroys the Devil, his angels, and the wicked will not be until after the
1,000 years described in Revelation 20:1-6, 9, 10. This is when the wicked
will be raised from the dead, and Satan will make a last effort to destroy the
New Jerusalem: "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire CAME
DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURED THEM. AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED
THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE
FALSE PROPHET ARE, AND SHALL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND
EVER." Revelation 20:9, 10.
This
whole earth is going to be covered with fire. Fire is a purifying agent. And
it will be fire that our Lord will use to purify the earth of its pollutions
caused by Satan and man for 6,000 years.
In
the book of Malachi we read the following: "For behold, the day cometh,
that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord
of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." Malachi
4:1.The Lord destroyed everything in Noah's day by water; that was just a
shadow of the earth when it shall be covered by fire. Peter saw this was to
come and said in 2.Peter 3:5,6, "For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of
the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed
with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the
same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men."
As
stated before, there are two periods of this Hell Fire predicted by both the
Old Testament Prophets and by the New Testament Apostles. And, there are also
to be two resurrections. In Revelation 20:1-9, it plainly states the
resurrection of the wicked and their destruction will not happen until the
1,000-year millenium is over. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him
up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till
the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years." We will study more of this very important doctrine later.
Now,
among the first inhabitants of the earth, Lucifer's first lie was "YE
SHALL NOT SURELY DIE (Genesis 3:4)." And, this same LIE of the Devil has
been used from Adam and Eve's day to our present time today. Here lies the
origin of the foundation of the falsehood of immortal soul, reincarnation, all
forms of Spiritualism, Astrology, Black Magic, Necromancy, Purgatory and Hell,
the burning place of torment. The whole system of the Mystery of Iniquity is
based on this lie of the Devil, "Life after Death." But the Bible is
very clear: "THOU SHALT SURELY DIE." Genesis 2:16, 17.
Man
does not continue to live after death as most have been deceived into
believing. "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know
not anything." Ecclesiastes 9:5. As stated before, the myths about
"Life After Death" can be traced in the legends of Nimrod who became
the great god of the Assyrians and Babylonians [17]. At Nineveh, Austen H.
Layard, from the British Museum, uncovered the ancient city and discovered
over 25,000 tablets describing the ancient history of the Assyrian Empire
[18]. Layard found inscriptions at Nineveh that said it was Ninus who built
the city [10]. The word "Nineveh" itself means "The Habitation
of Ninus"[20]. But it has been discovered that the name Ninus was just a
deified name the early Assyrians called Nimrod, because the Bible itself says
it was Nimrod who built Nineveh (Genesis 10:11). Nimrod (Ninus) was said to
have been killed, according to the inscriptions, but his "spirit"
became immortal and flew up to the Sun and he became "Beelsamon,"
"Lord of Heaven"[21].
In
all forms of witchcraft, as in all modern forms today, the doctrine of
"Immortality of the Soul" was the center of their whole pagan belief
and worship. Pagans believed that when they died they took possession of one
of the stars in Heaven. The ignorant pagans, like multitudes of Christians
today, believe that the spirits of the dead are "ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." Hebrews
1:14.
If
the reader has ever read into the history of any nation, the history of the
people shows that their whole culture was surrounded by the belief in
"Life After Death," "Reincarnation," and communicating
with the dead. Multitudes of pagan traditions, worldwide, have their origin in
the Legends of Nimrod.The Babylonians taught that the fate of everything was
dependent on the sky. The Babylonians, as most ancient people, believed that
each mortal, like the gods, had his own star in the Sky [22]. Here we can
begin to see why primitive men believed their chief gods inhabited the planets
and named the planets as the homes of their gods. Saturn (the Roman god of
crops) is believed to be the star-god Stephen said the ancient Israelites
worshipped in their apostasy under the name of Remphan [23]. "Yea, ye
took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the Star of your god Remphan, figures
which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
Acts 7:43, see also Amos 5:26.
This
will also help us to understand the cosmic religion of Astrology, and how
Astrology ties in with Sun worship. Astrology was actually the origin of the
pagan sciences and pagan symbols. John, in the book of Revelation, was given
this sacred number 666 of Astrology to identify who this beast is (see
Revelation 13:1-11, and 18) that Jesus warns not to be identified with
(Revelation 14:9,10).
In
the ancient Babylonian astrological system, it is the Sun-god who is the ruler
and main god of the zodiac. And all the gods of heaven (the stars) were
considered offspring of the sun. According to pagan philosophy, all the star
gods you have heard about in school were actually manifestations of the heat,
fire and light which flowed from the sun. It was believed that it was the
Sun-god who was the source of all things, and all the other gods were but
emanations of the sun, "flesh of his flesh." Therefore, all the
manifestations of the gods of nature were just manifestations of the one god,
the Sun, whose worship by primitive man was in reality to Satan. Even
Lucifer's name means "Day Star," the "Illuminated One," or
"Shining One"[24].
The
Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and American Indians, like the
Babylonians, all believed that their gods were just representations of the one
god. The ancient people, shortly after the flood, had a knowledge of the True
God of Noah, Shem, and Abraham. But the worship of the True God of Noah, Shem,
and Abraham soon became perverted into idolatry by the larger population when
Nimrod tried to unite the whole world into a One World Government. And this
anti-God movement shall be attempted by some modern Nimrods in our time!
Both
history and the Bible reveal that the greatest mystery to mankind has always
been the Universe. And Satan, the Prince of the Power of the Air, used man's
curiosity about the heavenly host to cause man to worship them instead of
their Creator. "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the
Lord and served Baalim (the Sun-god)." Judges 2:11.
The
word Baalim is a term to describe the whole system of Sun worship. Augustine
said in his book, The City of God, that all the learned pagan doctors declared
that all the chief gods of the Greek-Roman world were 'one and the same love,'
and that all the stars were part of love and had rational souls [25]. All the
chief gods of Greece and Rome were the same gods worshipped in Babylonia,
Assyria, Egypt, Persia, and North and South America [26]. Only the names were
different, like their languages and cultures were. It was from Babylon (Babel)
that Sun worship started. And, it is also where all ancient and modern nations
today receive their system of Astrology [27].
In
pagan philosophy, the stars controlled the affairs of the human race. Hence,
the science of Astrology claims to interpret the will of the star gods. The
chief star gods of the pagans were the gods of Astrology, which were believed
to be just emanations of the one god, the Sun-God [28], the ruler of the
Zodiac. Astrology is the foundation of all the pagan sciences of the occult,
whose author is Lucifer, and his spirit guides are his angels. Spiritualism,
which is just another name for Witchcraft, is today, among the young, the
biggest rival of Jesus Christ. It will be through Spiritualism that men and
women will come with all manner of lying wonders that will gather the whole
world under Satan's banner. "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here
is Christ, or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and
false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:23,24.
Spiritualism
(Witchcraft) will deceive the whole world into accepting a strong delusion
that will bring Satan to finally use his crowning deception that will cause
most to lose their salvation. Lucifer, this Old Serpent, called the Devil,
will personate Jesus Christ just before the real Christ comes the Second Time.
This will be Satan's last effort to destroy mankind. However, students of the
Bible, who have made Scripture their only standard to judge between truth and
error, will not be fooled into worshipping Satan as Christ. For the satanic
movement to unite the world under one banner and Christ walking upon this
earth again is a complete contradiction of Scripture. But to actually
understand any of this, the reader must not be ignorant of Satan's devices; so
we need to examine what the Bible says Spiritualism or, what Witchcraft is.
This we will study in Part II of this Chapter.

Little
do young Rock and Rollers know they are deceived by an unseen host of agents
of the Devil. The Bible warns it will be demons, using people as their
instruments, that will lead others into rejecting the True Christ. "For
they are the spirits of DEVILS, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:14. There is absolutely
nothing romantic about Satan. He will give some power to work miracles, but
this is his way of deceiving. Just as God uses man to lead others to Him, so
does Satan. However, unlike God, once Satan has used a person for his own
purposes, Satan will cast away all whom he has used to deceive others, like a
man casts away his trash into the trash can. So to help a Bible student avoid
falling into any of Satan's traps, one can learn from the Scriptures and from
those whom Satan has already used, how not to become another one of his
victims.
To
start, we need to study again the first deception at the Garden of Eden. As we
stated before, the Devil uses camouflages to keep his worship hidden. The Sun
and Nimrod were only a front used by Lucifer to get multitudes to bow before
him. However, the first camouflage he used to deceive Adam and Eve was the
serpent. The very thing Satan used to deceive Adam and Eve became eventually
one of the most sacred symbols of Sun worship! Instead of the serpent as being
a symbol of Satan and deception, as the Bible instructs, the serpent became a
symbol of the "Great Benefactor and Healer" of mankind. The serpent
was worshipped as the "God of Healing" and
"Life-Restorer." "YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE," Genesis 3:3,
was Lucifer's first lie to our first parents. The serpent, the god of healing,
was generally represented in the pagan arts entwined on a stick, staff or a
stock of a tree [1]. Here we find the origin of the strange symbol that the
American Medical Association (AMA) uses today. This medical insignia was
originally the symbol of the Egyptian god Hermes, who we will see in a moment
was Nimrod's father, Cush. And it's here we find the origin of the word
hermetic.
This
ancient word found in classical literature actually derived from the ancient
Egyptian god of medicine. This name is actually Chaldean and the Greeks and
Egyptians adopted this god from the Babylonians. The very word hermetic means
the hidden knowledge of magic, occult sciences, etc [2]. Not only was the
serpent worshipped by the ignorant pagans as "The Great Benefactor"
for mankind, the serpent ironically enough was worshipped also as "The
Great Enlightener." What did Satan say to Adam and Eve besides, "Ye
shall not surely die?" In Genesis 3:5 we read: "FOR GOD DOTH KNOW
THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOE THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE
AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."
In
The Two Babylons, by Hislop, p. 227, we read the following:
"Along
with the sun, as the great fire-god, and, in due time, identified with him,
was the serpent worshipped. In the mythology of the primitive world, says
Owen, 'the serpent is universally the symbol of the sun. In Egypt, one of the
commonest symbols of the sun, or sun god, is a disc with a serpent around it.
The original reason of that identification seems just to have been that, as
the sun was the great enlightener of the physical world, so the serpent was
held to have been the great enlightener of the spiritual, by giving mankind
the 'Knowledge of Good and Evil.' ' " The ancient Mayans of the Yucatan
in Mexico worshipped the serpent god under the name of Can. Can means
"serpent" in the Mayan language, as Can or A-Can was the ancient
Sumerian and ancient Scottish word for serpent. Here we find the origin of our
word canny, shrewd or serpent-like. The Babylonians worshipped Can the serpent
and Vul, the god of fire. The Romans simply combined the two words into
'Vulcan," the Roman god of fire from when also comes our word
"volcano" [3]. This seems to be how the Mayans and Mexicans named
their gods. They too combined two words to describe their serpent god. "Kulkul"
means "beautiful bird," and "Can," serpent. Hence, "Kulkulcan,"
which means "Bird Serpent" in the Mayan language. This is the exact
same meaning for Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican pagan messiah in central Mexico
[4].
Interestingly
enough, the cosmic symbol for Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent! Here is
another interesting observation. The origin of the word "Vatican"
also derived from two words. The Latin word "vatic" or "vatis"
means "prophet or soothsayer" [5]. The combined word,
"Vatican," appears to mean "divination by the serpent"!
The symbol for Astrology is often shown in pagan arts as a serpent in a
circular position with his tail in his mouth. This represented eternal life.
There
is the strong evidence from Scripture that the serpent originally had wings
and flew, instead of having legs as the evolutionists say. The Scriptures
reveal it was a curse for the serpent to travel on his belly as he does now.
"And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy
belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."
Genesis 3:14.
Hence,
that feathered serpent that has been displayed in pagan arts and worshipped as
the god of healing, is none other but "that Old Serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Revelation 12:9.
While
Satan changed the image of the serpent into something to be adored and
worshipped, the goat, from antiquity, symbolized the Devil. The goat, known
for its agility, stubborn character and having its own way, is what
Astrologers say people are who are born under the sign of Capricorn, the
He-Goat. Witches in the Middle Ages were widely reputed to worship the Devil
in the form of a goat [6]. During the Middle Ages there was a widespread witch
panic that produced witch hunts and witch trials. Witches were often charged
with poisonings and other injuries as well as murder. The charge of murder
might have been derived from making a wax image of a hated person and
consuming it over a slow fire or sticking it with pins. African witchdoctors,
Haitian experts in Voo-Doo, and American Indian medicine men indulged in this
Satanic Black Art. The Middle Ages witch trials record how multitudes of
witches confessed, under torture, that they held local meetings called covens
to adore their master, make plans to execute the diabolic will, and partake in
bestial rites. In southern Europe the site where the witches met was called a
synagogue; in Germany it was called a blocksberg [7]. These meetings usually
took place at midnight. It was brought out during the trials that witches
claimed they came to their meetings by being carried by the Devil: others were
able to fly by anointing themselves with oils from the bodies of murdered
infants; still others rode broomsticks, or a cow or a goat. At the rendezvous
Satan appeared as a black animal, often a goat, or as a man with cloven feet
[8]. There are many different sects in modern witchcraft today; however,
modern day witches do not believe that the Devil exists. They are not Satanist
old women with long black hair and a wart on their nose.
A
Christian will be shocked to know that ancient Witchcraft has been revived and
modernized among the young people today. And, it is the religion of some of
those who control the wealth of the world! Their covens (churches) are today
Federally recognized tax exempt churches, and enjoy the same rights under the
protection of the law as do the Christians. And, believe it or not, there are
millions of both male and female witches here in the United States alone.
Witchcraft is the biggest rival religion of Christianity in England and
America [9].
It
is interesting enough, however, that these modern witches exalt the horn gods
and the pagan goddesses such as the Egyptian pagan trinity Osiris, Isis, Horus,
which originated in the worship of Nimrod (the Sun), his wife Semiramis (the
moon), and Tammuz (the Morning Star).Like their pagan brethren, modern day
witches are ignorant to the fact that these gods do not exist. Even though
they claim the Devil does not exist, they too are in reality bowing their knee
before him. They exalt the gods Satan hid behind to deceive the ancient
nations. Pan or Bacchus is another god the witches exalt and worship. It
depends on what coven they belong to. Anyway, how was this ancient pagan god
displayed in pagan art? He had a man's head with horns and cloven feet!
Now
witchcraft, as stated before, has been modernized. Modern day witches who
worship the gods of cosmic forces claim now to work magic and cast spells for
the general good of the community. This kind of witchcraft is called white
magic. Those who practice casting spells that injure people practice what is
known as Black Magic.
However,
most of these modern day witches claim to be good witches as in The Wizard of
Oz, and unlike medieval witchcraft that made an image out of wax to stick pins
in it so the person the wax image looked like would die, these modern day
witches claim now that this wax image is used to heal people. This revised and
modern form of witchcraft is called today Wicca, which is the feminine form of
an Old English word, "Wicce," meaning -- "Witch" [10]. The
main feature of Wicca is, however, nature worship. Just as the ancient Baal
worshippers in Babylonia believed it was the cosmic Star gods that were
responsible for pouring out the rain from Heaven and caused fertility among
the plants and mankind, so do these ignorant people in these modern witch
covens teach their little ones these things.The word Baal, so often seen
throughout the Old Testament, was used to describe a god. The word means
"Lord" or "Master" [11] and in the Bible it was the name
for the Sun-god.
Now,
kings of pagan nations often were considered the incarnation of the Sun-god,
and to identify with the Sun-god the kings would adopt the name of his god as
Jezebel's father did in 1.Kings 16:31. His name was "Ethbaal" which
means "with Baal" or "Baal's man" [12].
Just
as ancient Sun-kings pretended to be the ancient incarnation of the Sun-god,
so does modern witchcraft teach that the High Priest is the personification of
the horned god Pan, or Osiris. And, the High Priestess of these covens, like
ancient Sun worship, is the personification of Isis, Diana, or one of the
other names this pagan goddess has throughout the world. Baal worship was
basically a fertility cult that taught its followers that the Sun-god and
Moon-goddess controlled the seasons, brought fertility, etc. Here we find the
origin of the beliefs of Wicca.
Witches,
ancient and modern, take off their clothes during their meetings as a symbol
of freedom, and so the power they say they receive from their gods can freely
flow from their bodies. A circle is drawn to contain and concentrate the power
the witches claim to receive through lewd dancing and chanting. On nights of
the full moon and other festivals, the High Priest of witchcraft performs a
ritual known as "Drawing Down the Moon." This is taught to new
members to explain how the High Priestess becomes the incarnation of the
Moongoddess [13].
Witches
believe that the build-up of power is achieved much more readily when the
participants are naked, and when a certain sexual tension is present. When
these witches reach the power they want charged in their atmosphere, they
begin to cast their spells. They claim the spells should always be for the
good; an evil spell, they say, rebounds threefold upon the head of its
creator. After their spells are cast, the witches settle down to a ceremony
that is similar to the holy communion held for the Egyptian god Osiris.
However, instead of a round disk wafer that was an Egyptian symbol of the sun,
some modern day witches make cakes in the shape of a five pointed star called
the Pentagram. This to the occultist is one of the most powerful weapons in
magic. The Pentagram symbolism is based on that of the number five which
according to Astrology, stands for the living world of nature, such as Air,
Fire, Water, Earth, and the Spirit of their god and pagan goddess who used the
elements, according to witchcraft, to create the Universe.
The
number five in Astrology also represents the four directions and the center,
for the five senses (smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing). Witchcraft, like
all forms of Spiritualism, teaches man is a microcosm (miniature universe);
man is the ruler of nature, and as the miniature image, the potential master
of all things [14]. So, the Pentagram (five pointed star) with one of its
points projecting upwards is imagined in Witchcraft as a man's body with arms
and legs extended, and is a symbol of the dominance of the divine spirit. It
is used as a magical weapon for invoking good influences and keeps the evil
spirits at bay, say those who practice white magic.
Many
of our youth reject the religion of the Bible, and now worship the created
things instead of the Creator through this new modern form of Witchcraft
because Witchcraft today is attractive and has taken on a brighter look.
Instead of the satanic evil looking people of the Middle Ages, the witches of
today have been, for the past century, portrayed as good people, who fight
against the evil forces of this world, such as "Wonder Woman," with
her sign of white magic (the Pentagram) displayed on her forehead. But to
distinguish the bad witches from the good witches, say the occultists, a
reversed Pentagram with two points upward is a symbol of Black Magic, and of
those who do worship the Devil. The two points of the star pointed upwards
suggests the horns of the Devil symbolized as a goat attacking the Heavens
with his horns [15]. This five pointed star which has two points upward was,
and is today, worn as an amulet by open Devil worshippers, and by many modern
day magicians and wizards. Originally this evil sign was worn to show Satan
that they had chosen him as their leader [16].
Is
this not chilling and frightening to know that multitudes of women of high
fashion may not be aware that when they wear that little gold chain around
their neck, with this five pointed star with two points upward, they are
showing they have chosen the Devil's side, and seek his protection? Is it not
chilling to know that they who call themselves Freemasons, and the ladies who
call themselves "The Order of the Eastern Star" display this evil
sign in their lodges? We will study even more shocking truths about the origin
and purpose of these Secret Societies in the next chapter.
As
stated earlier, there are many sects of modern witchcraft today, and many
variations found in their rituals. In some covens the cakes they use in their
communion are made into the shape of a crescent, which is the symbol of the
Moon-goddess. These cakes, by the way, are made of salt, honey, wine, meal,
oil and, in some covens, blood. They are eaten in honour of the Egyptian god
Horus [17] or whatever god the coven exalts.
In
ancient witchcraft the cakes were round with a cross drawn on them that
represented the first letter of the name of the ancient dead and risen pagan
messiah "Tammuz," who was the incarnation of the Sun-god and the son
of the Moon-goddess (the Queen of Heaven). Even the Israelites, when they
turned from the worship of our Creator made these same cakes that honoured the
pagan queen of Heaven and her god-child Tammuz. In Jeremiah 7:18 our Lord
condemned this ancient ritual in the worship of these cosmic gods. "The
children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead
their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink
offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger."
Today,
the Roman Catholic Church dedicates these same cakes to the Virgin Mary whom
they ironically call the Queen of Heaven [18]. These cakes are called by Roman
Catholic "Hot Cross Buns" [19]. The name of this pagan goddess the
Israelites worshipped and dedicated these cakes to is found in Judges 2:13.
Her name to the Israelites was Ashtaroth. To the early Romans her name was
Venus, the goddess of love.
Witchcraft
is just another word for Spiritualism, but the modern word used to cover-up
the evil name of Witchcraft so it may be taught in Colleges is
"Parapsychology." Now, to understand this other abomination found in
both ancient and modern Witchcraft, the reader must understand that it was the
Sun-god and Moon-goddess who created the whole Universe, according to these
witches. To honour this pagan belief, a ritual called "The Great
Rite" is strictly observed among these socalled "good" witches.
Since the High Priest in a coven is believed to be the incarnation of Pan, the
Sun-god, and the High Priestess is the incarnation of the Queen of Heaven, the
Moon-goddess, these two mimic the myth in the creation of the Universe by the
Sun-god and the Moon-goddess when they perform "The Great Rite"
ritual, which is engaging in sacred prostitution.
This
is justified by the witches on the grounds of fertility, because after all,
they say, Wicca is a fertility cult [20].
To
try to understand any of this perversion so you can teach others how to avoid
it, the reader simply needs to realize that this abominable practice of sacred
prostitution found today in modern witchcraft is nothing new. All ancient
heathen worship of the Sun-gods had within its philosophies Phallicism. What
is Phallicism? It is the veneration and worship of male and female sex organs.
The union of male and female organs is symbolized in witchcraft as a point
within a circle, and also as two triangles uniting to make a
"Hexagram" [21] better known today as the "Star of David."
The truth is, King David of Israel never carried this emblem that is now the
symbol of Israel. This emblem was adopted from witchcraft by some Jewish
priests who had explored deep into the Babylonian religion during their
captivity in Babylon. From here sprang witchcraft in another garb called the
Cabala.
The
Mexican Indian, centuries before seeing a white man, had the Hexagram as the
symbol of their phallic worship of the cosmic gods. Often the Hexagram is
displayed as a symbol of the 7 planets that serpentine their way through the
Zodiac. The Sun in the center is displayed in a circle with a point in its
center.
Usually
before these modern day witches partake of the cake and wine to honour Horus
or Pan, as we examined in part one of this chapter, a ceremony for any new
initiates into their coven is performed. This involved blinding, binding, and
whipping new members for the purpose of purification. However, this ceremony
is not as brutal as in medieval covens; they are good witches, so the whip
they use now is said to be of embroidered silk. However, those present with
sadomasochistic tendencies might be satisfied. The following five-fold kiss
bestowed by the High Priest or Priestess on the feet, knees, genitals, breasts
and lips of a new member speaks for itself [22].
In
Man, Myth and Magic, An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Supernatural, Vol. 14,
p. 1867, Cavendish, we read the following:
"Only
three pieces of magic can be performed at each meeting, they claim, and the
spells should always be for the good; an evil spell rebounds threefold upon
the head of its creator. Sometimes the spell is cast telepathically: for
instance, in the case of a spell cast to cure a person of a bad leg the
witches would stand silently and 'will' the leg to heal. On other occasions
they might use a doll, or 'fith-fath,' to represent the sick person - bathe
the doll's leg with a healing potion, or the high priestess might 'bind' the
spell, wrapping her girdle around the blade of her athame in a special
way."
How
popular has this modern witchcraft become? In the September 12th, 1982
Arkansas Democrat "Family Weekly," Georgia Frontiere appeared on the
front page. Georgia inherited the Los Angeles Rams when her late (sixth)
husband drowned in the riptides off the Florida coast in April 1979. He was
72. But what we really are interested in bringing to your attention is her
openness about being able, says she, to talk to her dead husband's spirit, and
how she dabbles in the occult. On page 11 of the Sept. 12 issue we read the
following: "Georgia gives Nolan Cromwell on unasked for raise ... and
Georgia, who dabbles in the occult (she says she's talked to Carroll's
spirit), mysteriously waves a hand at half-time over Haden's injured leg,
which is believed to be broken.
'I
thought for sure she was nuts,' Haden says. 'Then, incredibly, after the
doctors told me they were sure it was broken, the X-rays were negative.'
"
Why
are more and more people coming out publicly and admitting to be connected
with Spiritualism? About 25 years ago they would be afraid to make such
statements for fear of public ridicule and harm. However, most Christians
never heard of the Fraudulent Mediums Act of 1951 which only applies to those
who obtain money from the public under the pretext of possessing supernatural
power. This allows those who really can perform these lying wonders to
practice their arts legally in the open for the first time in hundreds of
years [23].
Most
witches, because they believe in the immortality of the soul, teach that every
human being has a spirit guide that they can contact for advice. This is also
where the Psychics claim their advice and information comes from. These
departed souls, they say, are the spirits of loved ones, ancient Indian
Chiefs, or Egyptian, Hindu, or Chinese Sages, or Wise Men from past ages.
These spirits, they say, have much wisdom because the spirit guides have
experienced many reincarnations and have mastered the lessons they were meant
to learn while on earth, and now have the power to benefit the livng [24].As
we already read from Scriptures, the doctrine of "Life After Death,"
or the belief in an immortal soul is a lie from the Devil. But the miracles
and spells that some witches have are very real. They may not know it, but
they receive their power from Devils who, after they use them to deceive other
humans, will destroy the very ones they have used.
However,
a person who has chosen the teachings of Jesus Christ, and made His Spirit a
guide through a knowledge of the Scriptures, knows that these spirit guides
are not spirits of past Sages, but spirits of devils impersonating them. And,
the believer who has chosen the God of the Bible is promised protection from
those who practice Voodooism and spell casting. In Numbers 23:23 we read:
"Surely there is no ENCHANTMENT (Witchery) against Jacob, neither is
there any DIVINATION against Israel."As established earlier, the ancient
pagans believed that when they died their souls flew up to the Heavens and
took possession of one of the stars. The chief gods of the Zodiac, which were
but emanations of the Sun-god, all HAD A SACRED NUMBER. Space does not allow
us to examine all of these numbers in Astrology. However, to help us
understand why this mysterious number 666 was given to John the Apostle in
Revelation 13:18, warning us not to be identified with it, it is necessary now
to examine some ancient pagan numerology.
Ancient
Astrology teaches that one of the sacred numbers of the Chief god of the
Zodiac (the sun) was the number one. The Sun symbol, we saw earlier, was a
Heavenly Bull and a serpent. Since Babylon was the birth place of Astrology
and the rest of Idolatry, we will see how this Babylonian system of gods and
goddesses spread throughout the ancient world and has penetrated into modern
culture today.Originally, the letters of the various alphabets had, and still
have to some extent, a numerical significance. The English language has lost
track of this, for there are no numbers that identify with each letter of our
alphabet. But, the first letter of the alphabet in many languages still
carries with it a reference to the Sun-god (one) whose main symbol was either
a serpent or a bull. Take, for instance, the first letter in the Hebrew and
Chaldee alphabet. It was a symbol of a bull [25].
The
Greek word aleph (alpha) is the name of the first letter in their alphabet,
and it means bullor ox. It is interesting to note that the ever-revered
bullgod of the Orient (the elephant) has the same root (eleph) in his name,
and almost every Hindu temple has its phallic idol to commemorate the
lifegiving qualities of their god (one). So to honour the Sun, the god (one),
the Heavenly Bull-god, the first day of the week [26] (Sunday) and the first
of everything was dedicated to the bull-god as sacred. The first day of the
month, the first day of the year, the first born son and the first fruits of
the harvest and of the flocks, were kept sacred and dedicated to him.
Indeed,
most Christians cast away the original day of the worship described in Genesis
2:1-3 (before Jews were ever heard of) for the observance of Sunday, the first
day of the week! We will investigate this mystery later.
The
number 2 in ancient Astrology is considered a female number and a symbol for
the Mother goddess who, according to pagan belief, is the second member of the
godhead. However, pagan philosophy teaches that the number 2 was thought upon
as an evil number. In ancient paganism, women were considered as evil and the
cause of death. Some scholars claim that our very word, evil, is eve-il.The
name of the second letter of the Hebrew Chaldean alphabet is Beth, a feminine
proper name which means house. The moon, which is the symbol of the Mother
goddess, is ever considered as the monthly house of the Sun in Astrology.
The
number 3 is a sacred number identified with the pagan godhead of Baal, Ishtar
and Tammuz. Sometimes the number 3 represented a triple aspect of the Sun-god
as the ruler of Heaven. While the sun appeared in the sky it was symbolized as
a Heavenly Bull. The Serpent was the symbol of the sun in the spiritual realm
of things." However, when the sun sinks into the Western ocean at the end
of the day and spends the night in the realm of darkness and the dead, he then
becomes the fish god, Lord of the Underworld. The Fish-god to the Babylonians,
Assyrians, and Philistines was Dagon. This name Dagon, like Kulkulcan of the
Mayans, is derived by combining two words. Dag means Fish, and On means Sun.
Hence, the part man and part fish gods worshipped in the Old World. To the
Romans he was Neptune who was ever displayed in ancient Roman arts as part
man, part fish, with a pitchfork in his hand. It was during a festival to
celebrate the capture of Samson and to give thanks to Dagon for delivering
Samson into the Philistines' hands that Samson pulled down the house in which
the Philistines were celebrating, on himself and three thousand Philistines.
Judges 16:23-31.
It
is an interesting observation that the High Priest of Dagon wore a robe and a
mitre that resembled a fish. This mitre the pagan priests wore is the origin
of the mitre the Popes and Cardinals wear today. This mitre that resembles a
fish head was worn centuries before the birth of Christ by pagan High Priests
of Dagon [28].
In
India, their trinity is based on the 3 phases of the Sun-god. When the sun
rises in the East, he is Brahama, when he gains his meridian, he is Siva, and
when he sets in the West, he becomes Vishnu. This explains why the gods of the
orient sometimes were displayed with three heads and three pairs of arms on
one body. Many pagans believed in the three aspects of the Sun-god, who has 3
phases in which he travels across the sky. Hence, the number 3 in Astrology
represents the trinity in Witchcraft.The number 4 is the sacred number in
Astrology for the Sun as Ruler of the four quarters of the Universe, or the
four divisions of the Zodiac, the four seasons, and the four directions. It is
interesting to note the name of Tammuz, where the cross originally came from.
It was originally the initial T in Tammuz, which was known as the sacred Tau.
The cross was a symbol of the sun worshippers centuries before Jesus was born.
The number 4 itself is little more than a cross. Take away the angular bar and
we have a cross. As the reader probably has observed, no Catholic will pray a
prayer or worship God until he makes the four directions across his head and
body to resemble it. That which is now called the Christian cross was
originally the mystic Tau that the Chaldeans used to sacrifice a first born
child to the Sun-god [29]. And, it was this very thing that was used to
crucify Jesus on. No greater insult could Satan give to Christ than to
sacrifice Him on his own symbol of heathen worship.
We
have already explored some of the reasoning behind the number 5 in Astrology
such as the 5 pointed star (Pentagram), but it is the number 6 that should
capture our close attention. The hidden meaning and symbols represented by the
number 6 are so involved that an entire book could be written about this
number and its origin. Here again, we explore the worship of the serpent,
because the number SIX has ever been connected with the serpent.
It
is interesting to note that man and the serpent, along with the other land
animals, were created on the sixth day (Genesis 1:24-31). The words used to
say SIX, sex in Latin, seis in Spanish, seks in Norwegian, shest in
Portuguese, sechs in German and sas in Chaldean-Hebrew, as in most languages,
start with the letter S. The letter S derived, believe it or not, from a
pictograph of a cobra, erected in its striking position. The hissing sound of
the letter S represented the voice of the serpent. We can note that snake,
serpent and Satan begin with the serpent letter S. On the heads of cobras
there are usually distinct markings in the shape of letters. They are V, U and
0. Hence, the ancients invented names for different serpents with these
letters, such as the U in Uraeus. That was the Egyptian name for their sacred
Asp, which ever appears on the forehead, or crown, of the Pharoah, who claimed
to be the vicar, or the earthly incarnation, of his god [30].
The
O occurs in the Greek Ophis, the name of the serpent whom the Gnostics
worshipped. During their celebration of their Lord's Supper, they let a snake,
whom they called Ophis, crawl over their bread. They became known in history
as the Ophites [31].
In
the Greek numerical system the symbol S is called the sigma, and was
originally the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. It was also represented as
the number six. However, today the letter S, or sigma in Greek, has a number
significance of 200. With the dropping of the sacred sigma from the sixth
position in the Greek alphabet, it appears the Ethioptic and some other
alphabets did the same thing with their 6th letter. This has been one of the
most baffling mysteries to people who have studied into the origin of the
alphabets. No one seems to know why the ancients did this. The Z or Zeta, used
everywhere to stand for 7, fell into the 6th position, and is used in the
mysteries of the occult for both 6 and 7. Remember this, because it is
important to know to be able to unlock secret symbols that hide, or add to,
the number 666. Why should so much importance be attached to this number 666?
The answer is found in Revelation 13:17,18, that no man might buy or sell
unless he identify with the Mark of the Beast, or the Name of the Beast, or
identify with the number of his Name, 666. This prophecy is still future, but
if the reader is found identified with these things he or she will be
destroyed by Christ Himself. (Revelation 14:9,10). We will find the origin of
this number of doom, 666, shortly.
The
numbers 6 and 7 are often interchangeable. This confusion is probably where we
get our expression today, "At sixes and sevens," a term meaning
confusion. The Greek numerical system is certainly "At sixes and
sevens" when it comes to these two numerical symbols. When we study the
origin of the number 7 we see that the number 7 stood, from the time of
Babylon on, for the Giant Serpent of the sky [32] whose 7 heads were a symbol
of the 7 fatecontrolling planets which serpentine their way through the Zodiac
in the Babylonian astrological system. Here we begin to see why the Apostle
John, in the book of Revelation, symbolized Satan and his astrological
religion as a seven headed serpent (Dragon), attacking the woman, which is a
symbol of God's True Church. "And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold A GREAT RED DRAGON, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, and
seven crowns upon his head." Revelation 12:3.
The
Scriptures themselves show that the cosmic seven headed Dragon is a symbol of
Satan. "And the GREAT DRAGON was cast out, that OLD SERPENT called the
Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9.Now in
Revelation 17:1-5 we observed earlier that Mystery, Babylon the Great, the
Mother of Harlots is riding a Seven Headed Beast. However, this is not a
Dragon (Devil), but a beast which in symbolic language represents a
"Political Power." See Daniel 7:1-8, 17, 23 and 24. We will study
more about how a beast in Bible prophecy is a symbol of "Political
Power" further on.
It
will also be shown later on that this beast from the bottomless pit with seven
heads and ten horns is Satan's last political movement that will try to unite
the world under one banner.As we already established, the serpent was ever
displayed in the pagan arts as an emblem of the Sun-god. It is eye opening to
learn that even many of the names used for the Sun-gods actually add to 666.
For instance, all the avatars (incarnations) of the Sun-god, which were ten,
according to the Hindu belief were called Buddhas or Rasees of the Siun, or
Sun. The Greek word to describe the Buddhas, or Rasees, is Xiuv. This means
Wisdom of the Sun, or Solar Wisdom. In the ancient Greek language, this word
to describe avatars of the Sun added to 666 [33].
X=600
I=10 U=6 N=50 with a total of 666
We
will see more names of pagan gods that add to 666 as we go on. But first, we
need to know more about the origin of the number 6, how some of our letters
today derived from this number, and how letters were used in the Babylonian
mysteries to hide the number 666.
We
have noted that S is the initial of most words used for SIX. In several Greek
dialects, the S was replaced by F which the Greeks called Bau, Vau, etc. If
you take away the cross bar on F, it too resembles a snake in striking
position. There is a very striking resemblance between S, F, and V. It can
never be understood why the occultists used these letters in their mysteries,
unless the reader remembers the S, F, and V represent the number SIX. V is the
6th letter in the Hebrew-Chaldean family of alphabets. F replaces it in
Western alphabets and it must be noted as stated before, like 6 and 7, F and V
are ever interchangeable. Take for instance "knife" and
"knives."
Another
letter that is a serpent symbol in Greek was the letter M. This letter
represents, in the mysteries, the number 12, and is the 12th letter of the
Greek alphabet. M is frequently used for the letter S because it is just a
sigma on its side.
Now
if M is but a sigma on its side and refers to the second 6, or 12th, letter,
it would appear significant that the symbol for the letter following the sigma
should be nothing more than a Z or Zeth on its side. In the mysteries of
paganism the second six (M) or the number 12 stands for the Zodiac. As we have
seen, the dropping of the sacred sigma as the sixth letter numeral causes the
Z to drop back into the sixth place. However, like the letter S, the Z also
resembles a hissing sound, so the ancients never lost the significance of the
number 6.
Now
since history says our letters F, M, S, V, and Z derived from the ancient
pictures of a serpent in his striking position, and have the numerical value
of SIX in most other alphabets, we now might be able to understand the
symbolic language.
Just
as a number in our present numerical system has place values, such as 6
written alone equals six, two sixes together equals sixty-six, and three sixes
together would equal six hundred sixty-six, so did the ancient learned doctors
of witchcraft use the letters S, V, Z or the other serpentine letters to hide
the number 666. Just as Freemasons have secret signs and grips to let each
other know they are Masons, so did the learned doctors of witchcraft let each
other know who they were by camouflaging this sacred number 666. Only the
learned pagan knew the significance. The number 666 was written in serpentine
letters like SSS, VVV, ZZZ = 666. They also arranged the letters different
ways; sometimes they would turn them upside down or sideways. The SSS
sometimes could be seen with a line drawn through the middle of all three S's
and turned sideways. This is the origin of the popular amulet called the
Oriental cross.
Another
way the number 666 was hidden which can be unmasked, is in learning the origin
of the trident sign. Earlier we learned that the Sun-god's weapon was the
lightning bolt and it was stylized into a pitchfork. The pitchfork had three
prongs to it, hence, we have today the trident sign, which by the way is used
to symbolize the number 666 also.
Beware
of these schemes to deceive, for it is still not clear how this number of
doom, 666, will keep God's people from buying and selling. It is not only the
Mark of the Beast, which we will study in the last chapter, that will prevent
God's people from buying and selling, but also the number of his name (666).
Revelation 13:17, 18.However, we can trace the origin of the number 666. And
this number of doom is derived out of Astrology. The Zodiac is a narrow band
about 18° width making a complete circuit of the sky around the earth. As we
noted before, this was symbolized in pagan arts by a serpent with his tail in
his mouth forming a circle. This represented to the occultist endless time or
eternal life [34].
As
we established earlier, astrology taught that the fate of mankind was ever
decided by the position of the stars. Now the chief gods of the Zodiac were
the 7 planets who serpentined their way through the 36 rooms of the Zodiac.
The 7 planets travel through the narrow band of the Zodiac at varying speeds.
The Zodiacal band itself was divided into 12 houses, one for each month of the
year, and each house was divided into three rooms, making 36 rooms in all, one
for each 10° of the Zodiacal circle" [35]. Here we find the origin of
our present time-keeping. Believe it or not, the dial of a clock is derived
from the 12 houses of the Zodiac. Thus the Zodiac was a Heavenly Clock with
which today we measure time. Here's another interesting fact: It was not by
chance that our ruler has 12 inches to a foot. Both of these systems of
measuring time and length were based upon the 12 houses of the Zodiac. It was
not by chance we have 12 units to a dozen. Here we can find the origin of the
"Chance of Fate." It is not by chance that the original Roulette
wheels have a 360" circle with 36 divisions of 10" each, with a
blank or zero division to represent the 5 days beyond the 360 days in a year.
It
is not by chance that there are 36 numbered cards in a 52 card deck. One card
each represents the 52 weeks with 12 face cards, four Kings, four Queens, and
four Jacks, and four suits, that represent the four seasons. Why do you
suppose fortunetellers use a deck of cards to predict the future? Because the
deck of cards is derived from Astrology! Burn them!
It
is not by chance that our present townships are composed of 36 square miles,
for several writers point out that the ancients divided the earth according to
the divisions in the sky. Just as truly as our 12 inch ruler was once a symbol
of the 12 house Zodiac, so is our 36 inch yardstick based upon the 36 rooms
into which the heavenly houses were divided.
Now,
the entire remainder of the sky outside of the Zodiacal band was also divided
into 36 constellations, 15 on the south side and 21 on the north side. A god
of each constellation was appointed to rule over one of the 36 rooms of the
Zodiac. Every star in the sky was considered as a god and the abode of
departed spirits and was included in a constellation, over whom was appointed
a god who ruled over a Zodiacal room. Each Zodiacal house god rules over a
month of the year, and the 7 planetary gods regulated, according to Astrology,
the affairs of mankind by their relative positions in the various rooms of the
Zodiac. Over them all ruled the Sun-god (The All-Seeing Eye), who was
considered the central fire from which each had sprung. As you will recall,
the learned doctors of paganism believed that all the other gods were but
emanations of the one god, the Sun-god.
Now
1, 6, 12, 36, 111, and 666 were the most sacred numbers in Astrology. Priests
of Sun worship used the numbers mathematically by the way the stars travel
across the sky to predict future events. They invented magic charts to perform
this most popular form of divination. Like the Roulette wheel, the charts were
divided into 36 numbered divisions. There were 6 columns in all directions
with the numbes 1 to 36 placed inside the entire chart. Any direction you add
the columns, they add to 111. There are six squares in each column and 6 x 111
= 666. If you add all the numbers from 1 to 36 they will also add to 666. So
you see, the number 36 was a sacred number that identified with the 36 room
gods of the Zodiac, and the number 666 was a summary number of the Sun-god,
because it was his sacred number as the Ruler of the Zodiac.
Most
will agree that this is very interesting, but there is still another, deeper
deception the Apostle John, in the book of Revelation, was told to warn the
people of the world about. This is the number of the Beast that will cause the
world to worship Satan under a false system of Christianity. "Take heed
lest any man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many." Mark 13:5,6."Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a
man; and his number is Six hundred three-score and six." Revelation
13:18.
The
Hebrew-Chaldean, Latin, Greek and Arab languages have a numerical value for
the letters of their alphabets. Take for instance the original Roman Numerals.
They were I V X L C D. And if you add these Roman Numerals themselves, along
with their numerical values we get:
I=1
V=5 X=10 L=50 C=100 D=500 with a total of 666
The
letter M was not in the original system, it was added later. Now the pagans
had a custom of adding their names according to the value of their letters of
their own alphabet. As their languages are different, so were the values of
each of their letters in their alphabets. The I in Roman Numerals equals 1; in
the Greek language, however, the I has a value of 10.
The
new Testament was originally written in the Greek language, and an ancient
Greek name for Satan in its transliterations as we examined earlier was Teitan.
And if you add Teitan in its Greek numerical values for the letters we get:
T=300
E=5 I=10 T=300 A=1 N=50 with a total of 666
Now
since the Sun-god, the Heavenly Bull, brought both light and darkness as he
rose from east to west, he was worshipped also as both good and evil. He was
worshipped not only as a good and evil god, but both male and female. The
reasoning behind this heathen philosophy is that the Sungod was believed to be
the source of all things. So since there is good and evil, and male and
female, the Sun-god had to be good and evil and double-sexed, because men and
women were created in the image of their god. And since everything derived
from the Sun-god, the ancients believed that the soul of man was a divine
spark that returned to the central fire (the sun) from which they originally
came. And since the pagans believed the stars were but emanations of the sun,
all the Star-gods were believed to be once men [36], that had visited this
planet.
This
could explain why Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican and Aztec messiah, was pictured in
their arts as a good man who was a great benefactor of mankind. He visited the
earth to teach the arts of civilization, and promised his followers he would
return, but he was pictured also as an evil serpent which devoured mankind.
The
American Indians, both in the North and in the South, considered the bird and
the snake as sacred. The bird, because of its power of flight, contained the
spirits of the dead, and was associated with lightning. Both lightning and
birds of prey can be seen to descend sharply from above and strike with lethal
effectiveness [38].
Hence,
the mythological time-cycle bird of fire was called the Phoenix not only by
many Indian tribes of North America, but also by the Egyptians and the
Phoenicians. Sometimes called Benu by the Egyptians, the Phoenix was
worshipped as the bright and morning star. The morning star to the Egyptians
was the nocturnal representation of the hidden Sungod Osiris, or his soul. The
Phoenix was known as "The One Who Ferries Osiris" [39].
In
the earliest texts, the morning star and Orion, the ruler of the sky, are
often compared. For some, gods with a similar name seem to be confused with
the morning star, like Athtar, who was worshipped as the god of vegetation, as
was Tammuz [40]. However, this name Athtar, according to Mythology of All
Races, means Lucifer [41].
Now,
it just so happens that one of the old spellings of Phoenix is Phenex or Fenex
in Greek transliterations. Like the name Lucifer, Phoenix means "Shining
One" [42]. And if we add FENEX in its Greek value we get:
F=6
E=5 N=50 E=5 X=600 with a total of 666
It
depended on what area of the world the pagan lived as to what type of bird was
called the Phoenix. To the Egyptian, it was the heron. To the Babylonians,
Assyrians, and Hindus it was peacock. To the North American Indian, it was the
Eagle. To the Central and South American, he was the quetzal.In China, Japan
and India the phoenix is the peacock and the symbol of the sun. In Bali, the
peacock is a symbol of the entire sky [43]. The pagan believed that when he
died his spirit (soul) would become immortal and take possession of one of the
stars in Heaven from whence he originally came [44]. It is significant that
the Peacock Throne made at Delhi, India, in 1628 is supported by 12 pillars,
one for each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac. It is eye opening to discover the
Peacock Sun-bird, a symbol of Lucifer, the god behind all false gods, pictured
on a Roman Catholic Church window, encircled by the Zodiac. In the church of
St. Maurice at Reims, France, we find a woman (probably the Virgin Mary)
pictured in a sun-halo and crowned with seven stars. In one hand she holds a
peacock, around which stretches a circular band having on it the 12 signs of
the Zodiac. Another shocking observation regarding the Roman Catholic Church
is her exaltation of her Pope when in procession, as he is carried on his
portable throne. During this procession, two grooms carry large fans of
peacock feathers in such a way that the seated Pope seems to have two wings on
his shoulders which are constantly in motion and they make him appear as if he
is flying.
In
ancient Rome and Greece, heaven was considered filled with eyes, the eyes
representing the stars, the stars representing the homes of the dead. The god
Argus was said to have hundreds of eyes [45]. These eyes of Heaven were
represented by the eyes found on the peacock feathers.June, Queen of Heaven to
the Romans, had a peacock as her sacred bird [46]. The peacock or Phoenix has
long been connected with the Zodiac. The Yezidis, the open Devil worshippers
we mentioned earlier, to this day have seven stone images of peacocks which
they say represent the 7 planets and which they call Seitan, which is merely
the Arabic spelling for Teitan or Satan.
In
Hinduism, the Ramayana relates that when the god Indra transforms himself into
an animal, he becomes a peacock. In India the peacock was believed to have a
thousand eyes in its feathers and had power to kill snakes [47]. This sacred
bird that symbolized the heavenly host is known to have been kept in Babylon
for religious purposes. Aristotle mentions the peacock bird, and a reference
in a play by Aristophanes may imply that a Persian ambassador brought a gift
of peacocks. Alexander the Great imposed heavy penalties on those who killed
Indian peacocks. The birds were depicted on Greek coins. They were sacred to
Hera and a myth relates how the goddess set the hundred eyed Argus to guard
her husband's mistress, Io, after Zeus sent Hermes to charm and kill Argus.
Hera used the giant's eyes to ornament the peacock's tail [48]. In Java, the
peacock was associated with the Devil [49]. In Mosul in northern Iraq, there
is a sect of Yezidis who hold that the Devil is not evil, and call him the
Peacock Angel. The worshippers of Satan could have chosen no better animal to
represent the heavenly host as the proud ruler of the year, and god behind all
gods.
It
is interesting to note that the very symbol of the proud ruler of the
universe, according to heathen belief, is used as a symbol for the NBC
Television Network! And CBS Television Network uses the "All-Seeing
Eye," which was the symbol of the Sungod [50] the Ruler of the eyes
(stars) in heaven. Also, ABC Television Network uses the Sun-disk as a symbol
of their organization.
It
is very important that the reader have some knowledge of the various religions
that derived out of Astrology so that he may understand the esoteric mysteries
found in the goals and purposes of Secret Societies. However, before we begin
to study the Secret Societies which we shall examine in the next chapter,
there are a couple of more important facts about astrology and spiritualism
the reader should be aware of.
Astrology
teaches that this world is to pass through a time period about 26,000 years.
This is the length of time it takes, according to astrology, for the Earth to
pass through the influence of each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Each
Great Month or Sign is figured about 2,100 years."'
Hence,
the entire time period of Twelve Months having about 2,100 years each, is
known to astrologers as The Great Year. This Great Year is divided by seven
ages: Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces and Aquarius [52].
During
this so-called Great Year, or 26,000 years, astrology claims to have predicted
the evolutionary progress of man from century to century. The starting point
for the seven continual Ages began 10,000-8,000 BC, which was known as the Age
of Leo. From the book "The Compleat Astrologer", Parker, we read the
following:
"The
earliest Month of which we have real knowledge was that of Leo (10000 - 8000
B.C.): The Lascaux cave paintings show the Leonine creative influence but the
thought-motivation behind the effort is Aquarian in spirit. The Age of Cancer
(8000 - 6000 B.C.), witnessed the earliest development of settled farming and
constructed dwellings - both of which are Capricornian in essence. During the
Geminian Age (6000 - 4000 B.C.) the founding of the earliest libraries comes
under Sagittarius. Perhaps the most striking polarity of all was in the
Taurean Age (4000 - 2000 B.C.), for the Egyptians were much preoccupied with
death and the afterlife, themes strongly related to Scorpio. The war-like
Arian Age expressed its polarity with Libra in the magnificent beauty and
balance of Greek Architecture (2000B.C. - Birth of Christ)." (The
Compleat Astrologer, Parker, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1971, p. 44.)Now,
according to Astrology, we are living in the Age of Pisces (O - 2000 A.D.).
The Age of Pisces is considered the Christian dispensation. Pisces was
symbolized in Astrology in the form of a fish because the Mother goddess Venus
and Cupid hurled themselves into the river Euphrates and became fishes after
being terrified by the giant Typhon [53]. Hence, we find the real origin of
the fish symbol that some erring Christians display to show they are
Christians.
Spiritualism
teaches that during this evolutionary time table of the 26,000 years, Masters
of Wisdom, or Christs, were to arise. Some were to
be founders of great religions, say occultists, and they would have a variety
of titles such as Mahatmas, the Hierarchy, the Great Ones, the Secret
Brotherhood, the Inner Government of the World, the Great White Lodge of
Masters of the Wisdom. One of these socalled Masters was Koot Hoomi, who is
said to have inspired a witch named Alice Bailey [54]. She claimed to be one
of these Masters [55].
She
was the author of many occult books, one of which was Discipleship in the New
Age. In her book she states the following:
"We
stand now on the verge of a similar but still more momentous event - the
appearance of the fifth kingdom, as a result of the planned activity of the
New Group of World Servers, working in collaboration with the Hierarchy of
perfected souls, and under the guidance of the Christ Himself. This will usher
in the New Age wherein five kingdoms in nature will be recognised as existing
side by side upon earth." Discipleship in the New Age, Bailey, Lucis
Publishing Co., 1944, p. 32.
Bailey
goes on to say that this New Age we are entering into will call for a
universal New World Religion [56]. This philosophy is based on the theory
found in Astrology that this world is entering into the Age of Aquarius.
Hence, the reader may look at this song found among Rock 'N Rollers in a
different light. For "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius"
was written by disciples of this New Age Movement to help promote the idea of
a One World Government and a One World Religion.Now, Aquarius is also known as
the great coming New Month. In the book The Compleat Astrologer, Parker, p.
44, we read the following:
"In
the Age of Aquarius, we may conjecture that man will consider a system of
WORLD GOVERNMENT, which will involve the organizational characteristics of
Leo."
Alice
Bailey told her brethren that Christ Himself would usher in this New Age.
Bailey goes on to say how this New Age will call for a New World Religion. In
her book Disciples in the New Age, p. 38, we read the following:
"The
Workers in the Field of Religion form this group. Their work is to formulate
the universal platform of the NEW WORLD RELIGION. It is a work of loving
synthesis, and it will emphasize the unity and the fellowship of the spirit.
This group is, in a pronounced sense, a channel for the second Ray of
Love-Wisdom, that of the World Teacher - an office held at present by the
Christ. The platform of the NEW WORLD RELIGION will be built by the many
groups working under the inspiration of the Christ and the influence of the
second ray and these - in their totality - will constitute this sixth
group."Reader, be not deceived! The Christ here that Alice Baily is
referring to is NOT JESUS OF NAZARETH! Spiritualism does not deny the
existence of Jesus, but they do deny Jesus was God Manifested in the Flesh.
And as we continue to follow the history of the Great Luciferian Conspiracy,
the reader will see how Spiritualism uses Christianity to destroy
Christianity. We may examine this fact by reading the writings of another
disciple of this New Age Movement who called himself Levi. In his book The
Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Levi shows how Spiritualism is trying to
unite Christianity into its ranks which untold millions have already been
deceived by:
"The
Christ is son, the only son begotten by Almighty God, the GOD OF FORCE and God
omniscient, God of thought; and Christ is God, the God of Love. " Levi
goes on to say:
"Christ
is the Logos of Infinities and through the word alone are thought and Force
made manifest." (The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Levi, DeVorss
& Co., Publishers, 1964.)Spiritualism teaches that Jesus was just one of
the Masters that would come into the world. And the word Christ in
Spiritualism is a principle (Logos) and does not refer to any particular
person [57]. Jesus was just another avatar [58] among modern day occultists.
Again,
we quote from The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, by Levi, as
follows:"What relationship existed between Jesus of Nazareth and the
Christ? Orthodox Christian ecclesiastics tell us that Jesus of Nazareth and
the Christ were one; that the true name of this remarkable person was Jesus
Christ. They tell us that this man of Galilee was the very eternal God clothed
in flesh of man that men might see his glory. Of course this doctrine is
wholly at variance with the teachings of Jesus Himself and of His
apostles." (The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Levi, De Vorss &
Co., Pub., 1967, pp. 35, 67.)Contrary to what Levi said in his book, there are
numerous Scriptures found in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testament that
supports the doctrine that Jesus was God Himself clothed in a human body.
"And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto
the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
1.Timothy 3:16.
Jesus
Himself said in John 14:8,9, "Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the
Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME
WITH YOU AND YET HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH
SEEN THE FATHER; and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?"
Here
is another truth the Scriptures call to attention. "Who is a liar but he
that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the
Father and the Son." 1.John 2:22. "And every spirit that confesseth
NOT that Jesus Christ is come IN THE FLESH IS NOT OF GOD: and this is that
SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world." 1.John 4:3.
Spiritualism
teaches that at the beginning of every Age there has been a Christ to usher
them in. Jesus was the Christ who according to Astrology ushered in the Age of
Pisces (O - 2000 A.D.). Today, Spiritualism calls Christ "The God of
Force." Little do these modern Luciferians know that the Christ of the
Holy Scriptures, the Lord of the Sabbath, foretold through His Prophets how
Spiritualism would try to unite the world into a One World Luciferian
Socialistic Government. The Apostle John was given a vision from our Lord
Jesus of Nazareth, that symbolized this New Age Movement as the Beast that
ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit. Revelation 11:7; 17:3, 7-14. While
Daniel, the Prophet, was given a vision of this
New
Age Movement almost 700 years before the Apostle John of Revelation received
his vision. Daniel even used the same language modern Luciferians and
occultists use today to describe it. In Daniel 11:36-39 we read the following:
"And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against
the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for
that which is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his
fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify
himself above all. But in his estate shall he honour the GOD OF FORCES: and a
god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold and silver, and with
precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong
holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory;
and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for
gain." In the following chapters of this book, we will understand more of
the meaning of this prophecy, and we will learn what other names this New Age
Movement is coming under.

To
trace the origin and purposes of Secret Societies, we need to go back again to
the book of the beginnings (Genesis) to Adam and Eve's fall. The book of
Genesis showed us how Satan caused a serpent to deceive Eve, then later
managed to get the very instrument used to deceive to be worshipped and
adored. Now in this chapter we will study the bait Satan used to actually
induce the first humans to commit their deadly mistake, and how Lucifer has
used this same bait to deceive others.What did the Father of Lies say unto
Eve? "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Genesis
3:5.Here is the Truth about how multitudes are swept into the high ranks of
Witchcraft to be used by Satan to deceive others. It was by creating a desire
to obtain forbidden knowledge that Adam and Eve were swept from the protection
of God, and lost eternal life, not only for them but also their offspring.
Satan implanted in Adam and Eve a desire to be like gods, knowing good and
evil. This covetousness produced self-exaltation in the minds of the earth's
first couple, and it is this very thing that led to Lucifer's own fall in
Heaven.
Man,
from the time of Adam and Eve, has ever strived to progress forward into the
knowledge of the secret things of the Universe. As with Adam and Eve, Lucifer
tries to kindle a desire to explore what God has not made known to us. The
Bible reveals to man there are secrets of the Universe the Lord does not want
to reveal to man. It is not because God is selfish, as the serpent implied,
but because of the evil heart in man - he can't be trusted with them. Look at
the condition that man has created for himself in the world today. He is
constantly in fear, world wide, because of his evil inventions that could
destroy the world. He is plagued day by day with the threat of war, crime, and
national ruin within his own country. It was Christ who created the Universe
and all that is in them. John 1:1-3, 14; Ephesians 3:9; Hebrews 1:1,2. Jesus
is the owner, and it's His right to judge what knowledge man can or cannot be
trusted with. Saith the Lord: "The secret things belong unto the Lord our
God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children
for ever, that we may do all the words of this law." Deuteronomy
29:29.How were these secrets about the Earth's history revealed? Saith the
Lord: "Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secret
unto His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7. For those things that were to
be revealed to us, God chose people that he knew he could trust and would
faithfully carry out His prescriptions. These people were called Prophets.
They were to write down and record what was revealed to them by Visions and
Dreams.
Saith
the Lord: "And he said, hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a VISION and will speak
unto him in a dream." Numbers 12:6.However, as there is a Mystery of
Godliness (1.Timothy 3:16) so is there a Mystery of Iniquity (2.Thessalonians
2:7). And, as the Lord has His Prophets, so has the Devil. "For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles
of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works." 2.Corinthians 11:13-15.Now, one of the clear ways to test a
prophet is found in Isaiah 8:20: "To the Law and to the Testimony if they
speak not according to this word, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN
THEM." If a man or woman claims to receive a vision or a dream from the
Lord, but contradict the teaching in the Law (Torah) which means the first
five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), or
contradicts the teachings found in the Testimony (the rest of the books of the
Bible), it is because the Lord has not sent them. Another way the Lord has
given His people to detect a true or false prophet is found in Deuteronomy
13:1-5: "If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and
giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass,
whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou
hast not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words
of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you,
to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he
hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God which brought you out of
the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust
thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to to walk in. So
shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. "
As
stated clearly above, the Lord said there are some people who can predict
something to happen (give a sign), or can work wonders, but at the same time
could be trying to lead us into the worship of one of these religions of
Satan's we have been examining. Can we not today, in our time, observe such
things? Here is another way the Lord gives His people knowledge and
understanding to see who is being led by the Holy Spirit, or being used by the
Devil. "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied
visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. And by a
prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he
preserved." Hosea 12:10, 13. A true prophet's ministry will tend to
preserve the people.
When
a man or woman claims to receive a message from the Lord about something to
happen, but it doesn't, the Bible warns: "But the prophet, which shall
presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak,
or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath
not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing
follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not
spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be
afraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
A
genuine prophet of God is distinguished from a false prophet according to
Scripture by his life, Doctrines, Predictions, and who he or she worships. If
a prophet predicts certain events to happen and only some of the events come
to pass, it is because he is not receiving messages from the Lord. A genuine
prophet of God, according to Scripture, is never wrong in predicting future
events, because the messages he is receiving are from the One who knows the
end of things from the beginning. A prophet who foretold something to the
Lord's people in ancient times, but that prediction did not come to pass, was
to be killed for deceiving the people.
Now
here is another important note from the Scriptures to remember in testing
prophets: "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son
or his daughter to pass through fire or that useth divination, or an observer
of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with
familiar spirits (spirit guides), or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that
do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these
abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from thee." Deuteronomy
18:10-12.
The
God of the Bible says He communicates to His Prophets through VISIONS AND
DREAMS. He does not reveal messages through Astrologers, Palm Readers, or
through cards, or by crystal ball visions. This is prophecy by divination. He
does not reveal messages through a magician, sorcerer, or psychic. The Lord
does not reveal messages through a hypnotist, called a charmer in Scripture.
The Lord does not relay messages through spirit guides which the psychics,
mediums and witches claim to be ancient sages or wise men. "The dead know
not any thing." Ecclesiastes 9:5. The Lord does not communicate through
wizards (male witches), or necromancers, "For all that do these things
are an ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD." Deuteronomy 18:12.
As
we tried to show you in the last chapter, Astrology is the basic foundation of
Witchcraft. In Isaiah, the Bible foretells what will happen to Astrologers and
people who trust in them. Unlike Astrology, the Bible predictions have never
failed: "Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels, Let now the
Astrologers, the Stargazers, the monthly Prognosticators, stand up, and save
thee from these things that shall come upon thee, behold, they shall be as
stubble: the fire shall burn them: they shall not deliver themselves from the
power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at nor fire to sit
before it." Isaiah 47:13,14.
"Remember
the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else, I am God, and
there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I
will do all my pleasure. " Isaiah 46:9.
Our
Lord, from ancient times, has revealed the mysteries of the Godhead and what
he desires us to know about the Universe, and its future, through His Holy
Prophets. However, instead of believing these words: "Believe in the Lord
your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye
prosper," 2.Chronicles 20:20, Satan has led man away from the Gospel by
keeping him interested in the secrets of the Universe. While abandoning the
most ancient book we have about the world's history the Bible, men are led to
think there is Truth beyond Bible Truth and have invented false sciences which
totally contradict the Scriptures. The way out speculations and pure guess
work used to support their findings leads them to eventually lose hold on what
little faith they had in God, to even reject that there is a God.When the Jews
were deceived into worshipping the cosmic gods of nature and were sent into
captivity by the Lord to Babylon as a punishment for their idolatry, certain
Jewish priests, while in Babylon, studied deep into the ancient Babylonian
mysteries (Witchcraft). These priests produced what became a philosophy called
the Cabala, Cabbala, or Qabbalah (some of the English spellings of a Hebrew
word whose more correct transliteration is Kabbalah), whose meaning is
"Receiving," or "that which is received." The Cabala's
central doctrine, say the Cabalists, deals with the unfolding of the hidden
and unknowable God into the fullness of the manifest God, known by his works
[1]. In other words, they try to explain that which is hidden that the Lord
has not revealed. The scientific name for this science is Metaphysics.
The
word Cabala actually derived from the Hebrew verb, kabel which means to
receive and implies that the Cabala was received, in the form of special
revelations, by a few of the elect, who were especially chosen for the
privilege, because of their saintliness [2].
This
Jewish movement didn't catch on among the Jews as a whole until about nine
centuries after the resurrection of Christ. It reached its height in Spain
when a Cabalist's Bible called the Zohar was published [3]. The Zohar was
compiled by Moses de Leon at the end of the 13th century. He incorporated into
the Zohar, which means "book of brightness," the doctrines of the
infamous Gnostics and Neoplatonists [4] that the soul is immortal and its
attachment to the body is unfortunate, but temporary. Cabalists believe in
reincarnation and that God supplies all knowledge. They claim that the
Scriptures contain important symbols that, properly analyzed, reveal secrets
concerning the creation of the Universe. They believed that these secret
combinations of words and symbols could be manipulated to achieve magical
results [5].
Unlike
ancient Witchcraft, the Cabalists believe that the Godhead consists of 10
emanations of the one God. However, these Jewish Cabalists do not believe that
these emanations are gods, as paganism teaches, but a complex organism
consisting of ten emanations, potencies, or focal points, called the Sefiroth.
These ten aspects, stages, or manifestations of the Living Deity, the World of
Emanation, or World of the Sefiroth, is not the Universe (stars), say
Cabalists, but the Godhead in its existent aspect [6].It is mind boggling to
try to understand any of this nonsense; however we ask the reader to keep
patience, for the reader must have a little knowledge what the Cabala is so he
can understand the philosophies behind the Secret Societies. It is from the
Cabala that modern Witchcraft and the Secret Societies say they draw many of
their crafts.
Like
Witchcraft, the Cabala teaches that man is a microcosm (miniature universe),
and has both male and female elements in the Godhead. The female element of
the Godhead is found in one of the ten emanations (Sefiroth). The Shekhinah,
they say, is the female element because it is the passive aspect to the Deity,
the manifestation of the divine power which vitalizes all creation
[7].Cabalists say man has spiritual intercourse with God through the Shekhinah.
From Hasidic Prayer, by Louis Jacobs, page 61, we quote the following:
"But
of Moses of the Zohar does say that he had intercourse with the SHEKHINAH!
Tishby has, however, shown that there are, in fact, many passages in the Zohar
in which erotic symbolism is used for man's relationship with God and not only
with regard to Moses." Jacobs goes on to say: "For instance, the
Zohar states that when a man cannot be with his wife, for example, when he is
away from home, or when he is studying the Torah, or when she has her periods,
then the Shekhinah is with him so that he can be male and female."
Another
sacrilegious claim of the Cabala is also found in their philosophy about the
10 emanations (Sefiroth). Cabalists claim that the 10 Sefiroth is the Tree of
Life from which the Universe emanated or came into existence, and that man can
unite himself with, or become, the One 'by rising through the spheres,'
spiritually climbing the ladder of the Sefiroth to reach God [8]. In magic,
the adept (an expert) must experience and master all 10 Sefiroth in order to
achieve supreme perfection and power, for the Tree of the Sefiroth is believed
to be a cosmic diagram, the basic pattern which shows how the Universe is
arranged and how its phenomena are connected. And since man is a miniature
replica of the Universe (microcosm) and of God, man is capable of spiritually
expanding himself to become God [9].Is not this blasphemous language nothing
but an echo from Eden? "YE SHALL BE AS GODS," Genesis 3:5. The
Cabala teaches that man can reach the magnitude of the Omnipotent God. Who
would dare make such a statement? As we saw earlier, his words are recorded in
Isaiah 14:12-15.Like Roman Catholic Church doctrines, there are enormous
amounts of blasphemous claims against the God of Heaven that can be found in
their literature. However, space does not allow us to venture too far into
this diabolical scheme to deceive. But to summarise what basically the Cabala
is, it can be summed up in one word, MAGIC, and its roots are found in
Babylon. Cabalistic magic is mainly arranging numbers and combining Hebrew
letters and their numerical values into magical squares and anagrams [10].
The
Cabalists claimed Moses used magic to bring the plagues against the Egyptians.
However, it wasn't Moses who caused the plagues to fall upon the Egyptians, it
was God Himself. There will be more unveiling of the Cabala and how multitudes
have been deceived by it as we study into the doctrines and purposes of the
Secret Societies. However, before we study the origin and purposes of the
Secret Societies, we need to examine an ancient mystical name given to schools
or groups that taught Babylonian mysticism. They were known for centuries as
the Illuminati. And they called Babylonian mysticism ILLUMINISM.
The
Encyclopedia Americana, p. 698, says The Illuminati is a name taken, or given,
to various groups of individuals existing during the past 2,000 years, who
believed in and taught a doctrine of illumination or inner light (Illuminism)
[11]. However, this mystical name derived from its original source at a much
earlier time. The Western equivalent to this Eastern mysticism is Hermeticism
and Gnosticism, which we will also examine as we go on.
The
Illuminati taught living a life of purity and service would open their
so-called inner senses so that they would obtain spiritual sight or
Clairvoyance, known as the Third Eye, become Seers, and be able to converse
with angels and with dead saints [12]. The individual who became spiritually
or intellectually enlightened in the ancient Babylonian Mysteries was
initiated into the mysteries when qualified, and called an Illuminated [13].
In
France, under the name of Illumines, another Witchcraft school appeared in
Picardy in 1623, but only continued a short time because of the repressive
measures taken by the Papacy. However, another sect of Illumines appeared in
the south of France about 1722 AD and continued until 1794. They traced their
origin to the Gnostics [16].
Here
is an interesting note. It is from a sect of the Illuminati who existed in the
15th century that the Rosicrucians, an international Secret Society, claim
their modern fraternal order originated. They also continue to claim that it
actually derived out of the Egyptian mysteries before that time. Rosicrucism
is a mixture of both Christianity and Witchcraft.
The
number 13 in Witchcraft plays a very important part in the practice of
Witchcraft as we saw earlier. And so it does in this fraternal Order of the
Rosicrucians. Here from one of their own publications, "The Rosicrucian
Cosmo - Conception," by Max Heindel, we read the following:
"The
Order is not merely a secret society; it is one of THE MYSTERY SCHOOLS, and
the Brothers are Hierophants of the lesser Mysteries, Custodians of the Sacred
Teachings and spiritual power more potent in the life of the Western World
than any of the visible Governments, though they may not interfere with
humanity so as to deprive them of their free will."
Heindel
goes on to say,
"Like
all other Mystery Orders the Order of Rosicrucians IS FORMED ON COSMIC LINES:
If we take balls of even size and try how many it will take to cover one and
hide it from view, we shall find it will require 12 to conceal a thirteenth
ball. The ultimate division of physical matter, the true atom, found in
interplanetary space, is thus grouped in twelve around one. The twelve signs
of the Zodiac enveloping our Solar System, the twelve semitones of the musical
scale comprising the octave, the twelve Apostles who clustered around Christ,
etc., are other examples of this grouping of 12 and 1. The Rosicrucian Order
is therefore also composed of 12 Brothers and a 13th."
We
will come back to the Rosicrucians in a moment, but let's go on and take
another look at some other Mystic Schools who adopted this name
"Illuminati." There were other little sects of Illuminism recorded
in history like the Illuminati of Avignon and the Illuminati of Stockholm; but
none of them became a threat to freedom, liberty of conscience, and
Christianity like the Illuminati of Bavaria. This Secret Order was founded May
1, 1776, by one Adam Weishaupt, a professor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt,
Germany, and an ex-Jesuit priest." Weishaupt, and his Order of
Illuminati, we shall study in the next chapter.
Now,
the Rosicrucians, who claim also to be illuminated or Enlightened, say that
Thutmose III of Egypt was the founder of their Secret Order. He erected two
obelisks bearing a record of his achievements. One of these obelisks is now
located in Central Park in New York [18].
According
to the Rosicrucians, after Thutmose III died, his son Amenhotep took up his
father's work in their Brotherhood about the end of September 1448 BC. He was
succeeded by his son Thutmose IV, who ruled from 1420 to 1411 BC. Then came
Amenhotep IV, with whose history all the Rosicrucians are greatly concerned.
He was the Great Master in the family of the founders, and the one to whom
they owe their philosophies and writings used so universally in all their
Lodge work throughout the world. He was born in the Royal Palace at Thebes,
according to the Rosicrucians, in 1378 BC [19].
To
qualify to be initiated into the mysteries, the new initiate had to want to
become an expert (adept) in Astrology, Magic, Sorcery, Fortune-telling,
Necromancy, etc., which, by the way, is an abomination unto our Lord
(Deuteronomy 18:10-12).On this side of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there
were various other schools of these mystics besides the ones we already
stated, who were given, or assumed, this name Illuminati, on the grounds of
having superior knowledge of God, and of divine things which they claimed to
be able to perform. The Rosicrucians and the Illuminati's first cousins were
the infamous Gnostics, from whom Simon Magus borrowed his mysteries and mixed
them with Christianity. Another group of Gnostics found in the book of
Revelation were called the Nicolaitanes (Revelation 2:15), who were followers
of one Nicolas, a deacon in the time of Paul, who fell into licentious
doctrines and practices [20].
Another
such school for higher learning of Witchcraft was found in Spain around 1520
AD, and was called in the native language Los Alumbrados. It continued for
about a century, then disappeared as victim of the Spanish Inquisition.
Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), almost
became a victim of the Spanish Inquisition himself when the Roman Catholic
Church got wind of his connection with the Alumbrados. But he was acquitted
before the Inquisition Court with an admonition [21].
However,
there are some who hold today that the Illuminati is a front for the Roman
Catholic Church to unite the world under her banner again. And, it was this
same Ignatius Loyola who founded the Illuminati [22]. But, we will learn from
history that it was not Ignatius Loyola who founded the Order of the
Illuminati in Germany which has continued since 1776 AD. It was Adam Weishaupt,
an ex-Jesuit.Now, coming back to the Rosicrucians who also used the name
Illuminati for their Order: The reason the Rosicrucians look back to the reign
of Amenhotep IV was because he was the last of the Great Pharaohs of Egypt and
Hermes Trimegistus the Prophet, was born during his reign. There is much
confusion in ancient and modern learned circles about who Hermes actually was.
Scholars of mythology said he was just a myth, as was Mercury, his equivalent
to the Romans. His Egyptian equivalent, say some scholars, was the Egyptian
god "Thoth." The god Thoth or Hermes, was the moon god, who was the
god of time and of its divisions. He was the measurer and the god of
measurements. He was also the conducter of the dead, and god of human
Intelligence, to whom are attributed all the productions of human Art. To the
pagan Egyptians, all the literature of Egypt is attributed to Hermes. All the
writings that relate to the different sciences, mathematics, astronomy,
medicine, and music of the Egyptians were called by the Greeks "The
Hermetic Books."
In
Greek mythology, Hermes was known as the son of Zeus and Maia. He was the god
who invented dice, music, geometry, the interpretation of dreams, measures and
weights, the arts, letters, etc. He was also regarded as the patron of public
treaties, as the guardian of roads and writing. Thoth to the Egyptians was
considered a great king, a teacher of mankind, who had left books of magic and
mystery behind him. Numerous books of such a sort once existed in Egypt.
Clement of Alexandria claimed he knew of 42 so-called Hermetic fragments which
could be found in the works of Stobaeus, Cyrillus, Suides and Lactantus.The
Hermetic Books fall into two groups. The first deals with Astrology, Alchemy,
etc.; while the others are dialogues describing the soul's regeneration in
terms like the Cabala. This is the blasphemous doctrine that man can reach
perfection through his own efforts by journeying through the higher spheres of
knowledge, then after death, become God. Tradition says the Egyptian mysteries
were a key to a complete knowledge of the Universe and man. And this so-called
knowledge was preserved in these Hermetic Books which were believed for
centuries to be written by Hermes Trismegistus. These books were universally
accepted among the doctors of occultism as authentic books of Hermes until the
early 17th century, when they were proven to be a fraud. They had actually
been written as late as the second and third centuries AD, by a succession of
anonymous Greeks living in Egypt.
However,
even though these Hermetic Books were not directly from Hermes, as the
occultists said, there are still some interesting facts to learn about who
Hermes was, this legendary god of wisdom. To start, we need to take a deeper
look at the other gods of the Orient who were the Eastern equivalent to the
Western god Hermes. They were known in history as Nebo (Nabu) and Eel.
Alexander Hislop, who spent years tracing down ancient gods to Babylonian
origin, has some very interesting facts compiled from the ancient past in his
book The Two Babylons. In this book Hislop states the following: "If
Ninus was Nimrod, who was the historical Eel? He must have been Cush; for Cush
beget Nimrod, Gen. 10:8, and Cush is generally represented as having been a
ringleader in the great apostacy. But again, Cush, as the son of Ham was
Hermes or Mercury; for Hermes is just an Egyptian synonym for the "son of
Ham." Now, Hermes was the great original prophet of idolatry; for he was
recognized by the pagans as the author of their religious rites, and the
interpreter of the gods."(The Two Babylons, Hislop, pp. 25, 26.) To the
occultist, tradition says the Egyptian Mysteries were a key to a complete
knowledge of the Universe and of man. But the truth is, Egypt received its
knowledge of the ancient Mysteries from Babylonia. In the traditions of the
ancient writers, Ninus is said to be the son of Eel who Gesenius the ancient
scribe identifies as Nebo, the Babylonian prophetic god. And Hyginus, another
ancient scribe, shows that Nebo was Mercury. And, Hyginus tells how a similar
legend was written about the confusion of tongues as stated in the Bible.
Hyginus is quoted by Hislop:"For many ages men lived under the government
of Jove (evidently not the Roman Jupiter, but Jehovah of the Hebrews), without
cities and without laws, and all speaking one language. But, after that
Mercury interpreted the speeches of men (whence an interpreter is called
Hermeneutes), the same individual distributed the nations, then discord
began." (The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 26.)
Now
the pagans often named places, cities, and towns after their chief gods. A
mount called Nebo east of Jordan over against Jericho, in Moab, part of the
Abarim range, with a top called Pisgah, is where our Lord told Moses to view
the land which he couldn't enter because of his transgression, Deuteronomy
32:49. The word "Nebo" means height [23].The word "Baal"
means Lord, but the name "Eel" means "The Confounder"
[24]. The ancients often got the two names Baal and Eel mixed up as do modern
scholars today. The Scriptures themselves show that Baal and Eel were two
distinct gods with TWO distinct names. In Jeremiah 50:2; 51:44 we read:
"Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard;
publish and conceal not; say, Babylon is taken, Eel is confounded, Merodach is
broken in pieces, her idols are confounded, her images are broken in
pieces." "And I will punish Eel in Babylon, and I will bring forth
out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not
flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall."
Now,
Eel the Confounder or, in other words, the god of confusion, was himself to be
confounded by the destruction of Babylon, the origin of all pagan religions.
The name Babylon itself means "Confusion" [25]. Today, the city of
Babylon is just as it was predicted to be, and now is a symbol of religious
confusion throughout the world which will, in these last closing days, unite
under one banner.To the Romans the god Eel, who actually was Nimrod's father
Cush, was worshipped as Janus, the two faced god, the god of gods. Hislop
quotes Ovid, another ancient scribe who wrote of a hymn dedicated to
Janus."From whom all the other gods had their origin is made to say of
himself: 'the ancients... called me Chaos.'" This god Chaos' name is used
in our language today to mean confusion. The symbol of this god of confusion
was a club, and Hislop goes on to say the following:"..that symbol is a
club; and the name of a 'club in Chaldee comes from the very word which
signifies 'to break in pieces, or scatter abroad.' He who caused the confusion
of tongues was he who 'broke' the previously united earth, Genesis 11:1, in
pieces and scattered the fragments abroad. How significant then as a symbol,
is the club, as commemorating the work of Cush as Eel, the Confounder? That
significance will be all the more apparent when the reader turns to the Hebrew
of Genesis 11:9, and finds that the very word from which a club derives its
name is that which is employed when it is said, that in consequence of the
confusion of tongues, the children of men were scattered abroad on the face of
all the earth. The name of Cush is also 'Khus' for 'sh' frequently passes in
Chaldee into s; and Khus, in pronunciation, legitimately becomes Khawos, or,
without the digamma, Khaos." (The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 27.)In Isaiah
46:1, it appears that Nebo and Eel are synonymous. "Eel boweth down, Nebo
stoopeth." And the symbol of this god (the club) is called the hammer in
Scripture. "How is the HAMMER of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!
How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations." Jeremiah 50:23.
Hence, it was Eel and Baal, or Cush and Nimrod, who caused the inhabitants of
the earth to be scattered all over the earth by introducing Astrology, Magic,
Necromancy, etc., building an antichrist society that would change "the
glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man and
to birds and fourfooted beasts and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave
them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves, Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen." Romans 1:23, 24.
Now
look at the name "Hermes," from whom these Secret Societies and
occult fraternities say they draw their philosophies. The word Her, says
Hislop, in Chaldee is synonymous with Ham, or Khem [26] the burnt one. This
name formed a foundation for covertly identifying Ham with the Sun, and so
deifying the Patriarch after whose name the land of Egypt was called [27]. The
Scriptures themselves state that Egypt was founded by Ham. "Israel also
came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the Land of Ham." Psalms 105:23,
27, Hislop goes on to say:"Her is the name of Horus, who is identified
with the Sun (Bunsen, Vol. I, p. 507), which shows the real etymology of the
name to be from the verb to which I have traced it. Then, secondly, 'Mes' is
from Mesheh for, without the last radical, which is omissible (see Parkhurst,
Sub Voce, p. 416], Mesh, 'to draw forth.' " The 'Iho Babylons, Hislop,
Loizeaux Brothers, p. 25.What all this means is "Mes" was used by
the ancient Egyptians to show the genealogy of the name applied. This will
explain the Egyptian names of Kings of Egypt such as Rameses, which means
"The Son of Ra," who was the Egyptian Sun-god, whose incarnation was
"Osiris." Hence, "Hermes" or "Her-Mes" means
"The Son of Her," or Ham, who was Cush [28]. "And the sons of
Ham: Cush, Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan." Genesis 10:6.
Now
it was really Cush who was worshipped as Hermes, Eel, Nebo, Mercury, etc.,
that was generally represented by the ancients as their god who was the author
of Astrology, Magic, Spiritualism, etc., on this side of the flood. Here are
some more astonishing facts about modern Secret Societies that even most of
their own members are not aware of.Like the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons trace
their origins to the Hermetic writings. And, ironically enough, the Freemasons
admit that it was Nimrod along with Hermes (Cush), who founded their order.
The following will be taken from an authorized publication of Freemasonry
called An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and Its Kindred Sciences, by Albert G.
Mackey 33", p. 322:"HERMES" * IN ALL THE OLD MANUSCRIPTS &
RECORDS WHICH CONTAIN THE LEGEND OF THE CRAFT, MENTIONIS MADE OF HERMES AS ONE
OF THE FOUNDERS OF MASONRY."
Mackey
goes on to say:
"He
found one of the two pillars of stone, and found the science written therein,
and he taught it to other men. There are two persons of the name of Hermes
mentioned in sacred history. The first is the divine Hermes called by the
Romans Mercury. Among the Egyptians he was known as Thoth. Diodorus Siculus
describes him as the secretary of Osiris; he is commonly supposed to have been
the son of Mizaim, and Cumberland says that he was the same as Osiris. There
is, however, much confusion among the mythologists concerning his
attributes."The second was Hermes Trismegistus or Thrice Great, who was a
celebrated Egyptian legislater, priest, and philosopher, who lived in the
reign of Ninus, about the year 2670 (BC). He is said to have written thirty
six books on theology and philosophy, and six upon medicine, all of which are
lost. There are many traditions of him; one of which, related by Eusebius, is
that he introduced hieroglyphics into Egypt. This Hermes Trimegistur, although
the reality of his existence is doubtful, was claimed by the alchemists as the
founder of their art, whence it is called the Hermetic science, AND WHENCE WE
GET IN MASONRY, HERMETIC RITES AND HERMETIC DEGREES."Now in the same
volumes of An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences, by Albert
G. Mackey, Vol. 2, p. 518 we read who this other founder of Freemasonry
was:"NIMROD." THE LEGEND OF THE CRAFT IN THE OLD CONSTITUTIONS REFER
TO NIMROD AS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF MASONRY."
It
was indeed NIMROD who was first to teach the arts of masonry! Now here lies a
key to understanding the mysterious rituals of Freemasonry. Just as the women
who worshipped Thammuz were led to weep for the god because in the myth all
the images wept for him, so does the Freemason mimic the myths of the Sun-gods
during their Hermetic Rituals. Just as the Roman Catholic is taught to mimic
the death of Jesus Christ during Holy Week, so does Freemasonry imitate most
of the myths of Baal worship. Here from their own publications we will learn
the real purposes and goals of the leaders of Freemasonry.In the Booklet,
"The Masonic Report," published by C.F. McQuaig, a former 32nd
Degree Mason, with an Introduction from James D. Shaw, a former 33rd Degree
Mason and past Master of all Scottish Rite Bodies, we have now one of the
complete studies into the Secret behind Freemasonry. These former high ranking
Freemasons now EXPOSE Freemasonry for what it actually is, in hope that
deceived Masons will see who is really the hidden teacher of their mysteries,
and choose Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and will openly withdraw
from it. Space won't allow us to examine the entire booklet; however, we will
examine Masonic books the booklet quotes, and also other Masonic books that we
have ourselves. After the reader has examined these things from their own
literature, the reader will learn that Freemasonry is nothing less than
WITCHCRAFT! All this will be completely exposed in the part 2 of this chapter.

Freemasonry,
says Albert Pike 339, is a continued effort to seek light. Albert Pike was a
Confederate general during the Civil War who was honoured among Masons in the
South as a great Confederate hero. He was honoured also among Masons as
"The Prince Adept, Mystic, Poet, and Scholar of Freemasonry." In the
South he was almost considered a god-man, a genius, a hero among multitudes.
Pike, also a well known American poet, was born in Boston and studied at
Harvard. From 1833 to 1836, Pike was the associate editor, and then
proprietor, of The Arkansas Advocate. His best known poems were "To the
Mocking Bird," "The Widowed Heart" and "Dixie."
Little did the people of Arkansas understand who they were naming their parks,
streets and a county after, when they used the name Albert Pike. And
ironically enough, in Tennessee and Arkansas, a tourist will find lakes and
towns named after Nimrod. Albert Pike made his mark before the war in Arkansas
as a lawyer and writer, but as a Confederate Brigadier General, he was,
according to the Arkansas Democrat of July 31, 1978, a complete
"WASH-OUT," not a hero. Yet, Gen. Albert Pike is the only
Confederate general with a statue on federal property in Washington, DC. He
was honoured, not as a commander or even as a lawyer, but as Southern regional
leader of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The statue stands on a pedestal
near the foot of Capitol Hill. Albert Pike states in his book Morals and
Dogma, which is a Bible of Freemasonry, that:"Masonry is a search after
Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah. In that
ancient and little understood medley of absurdity and philosophy, the Initiate
will find the SOURCE OF DOCTRINES; AND MAY IN TIME COME TO UNDERSTAND THE
HERMETIC PHILOSOPHERS, the Alchemist, all the Anti-Papal Thinkers of the
Middle Ages and Emanuel Swedenborg." Morels and Dogma, Pike, p. 741
All
a reader needs to do is glance at the pages of Masonic books and he will see
this same philosophy taught from the Cabala we examined earlier. Here from
Martin Wagner's book Interpretation of Freemasonry, p. 27, we read the
following: "The Temple is a glyph for the universe, the MACROCOSM, and
for the MICROCOSM (THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN TEMPLE), sometimes referring to the
one and sometimes to the other. The details given in the ritual concerning
Solomon's Temple, its artizens, apprentices, fellowcrafts, masters, pilasters,
etc., are related to conceal the real Masonic meaning, or give an apparently
rational explanation to the ceremony. These things are the rubbish of the
temple under which the REAL MASONRY IS CONCEALED." Quoted in Masonic
Report, McQuaig, p.14Masonry uses symbols of the Bible to hide the real
Masonic meaning behind their Hermetic Rites. They just use the name Solomon
for their Temples. The truth is, Solomon, the King of Israel, was not a Mason,
nor did he ever have any connection with Freemasonry. The real reason
Freemasonry uses the name Solomon is to hide the real NAMES OF THE SUN-GODS
FROM THREE DIFFERENT NATIONS. Again, from An Interpretation of Freemasonry, by
Martin Wagner, p. 97, we read the following:"This name Solomon is not the
Israelitish king. IT IS NAME IN FORM, BUT DIFFERENT IN ITS MEANING. IT IS A
SUBSTITUTE WHICH IS EXTERNALLY LIKE THE ROYAL NAME. THIS NAME IS A COMPOSITE.
SOL-OM-ON THE NAMES OF THE SUN IN LATIN, INDIAN, AND EGYPTIAN, AND IS DESIGNED
TO SHOW THE UNITY OF SEVERAL GOD-IDEAS IN THE ANCIENT RELIGIONS, AS WELL AS
WITH THOSE OF FREEMASONRY." Quoted from the Masonic Report, McQuaig, p.
33.
Freemasonry
Lodge meetings at this present day are usually held in the upper chambers of
their lodges. The worshippers of Baal (the Sun-god) erected their idols and
altars on top of hills, among sacred groves, or on the roofs of houses. Now in
another authorized Masonic publication we read the following:"Lodge
meetings at present day are usually held in upper chambers, and the reason for
this custom is that 'Before the erection of temples the celestial bodies were
worshipped on hills and the Terrestrial ones in valley's.' " General
Ahimon Relon, by Daniel Sickles, p. 75. Quoted in Masonic Report, Mcquaig, p.
15.Here again from an authorized Masonic publication, more shocking
information about these Masonic Lodges, and the secret meaning of G.A.O.T.U.,
from The Master's Carpet, by Edmond Ronayne, past Grand Master of Lodge 639 in
Chicago, on pages 301-302 we read the following:"The Lodge room then is
brought before us as a symbol of the Universe, GOVERNED BY THE SUN-GOD, and
its cubical form expressed in the language of the ritual is made to represent
the united power of light and darkness, and the constant conflict which is
supposed to be always going on between them. In other words THE LODGE ROOM IS
THE REAL HEAVEN (IN MINIATURE), WHERE THE GOD OF NATURE THE G.A.O.T.U. -
ALWAYS PRESIDES, WHERE HIS SYMBOL IS ALWAYS DISPLAYED, WHERE HIS WORSHIP IS
ALWAYS PRACTICED, and when the good Mason dies he is simply transferred from
this lower heaven of this Lodge below, to the mount Olympus of the craft,
called the Grand Lodge above." Quoted from Masonic Report, McQuaig,
p.15.Now here we see who this god of nature, the G.A.O.T.U., really is. It is
the Sun-God! And just as the Witches hold their meetings at night, so does the
Freemason meet at night. Here from Symbolism of Freemasonry, by Albert G.
Mackey 339 p. 157:
"Darkness,
like death, is the symbol of initiation. It was for this reason that all the
ancient initiations were performed at night. The celebration of the mysteries
was always nocturnal. The same custom prevails in Freemasonry and the
explanation is the same." Quoted from Masonic Report, Mcquaid, p.18.In
the Hindu religion, the Sun-god, as in many others, was worshipped as we saw
earlier as a Trinity. The Trinity was formed because of the three phases of
the sun's course. At sunrise the Hindu worshipped his Sun-god as Brahma, at
noon he was Siva, and at sunset, he became Vishnu. Now, the high priests of
Sun worship pretended to be the incarnation of the Sun-gods, and so do the
Worshipful Master, the Senior Warden and the Junior Warden of these Masonic
Lodges. Here from Freemasons Guide, by Daniel Sickles, on page 66 we read the
following:
"The
Worshipful Master represents the sun at its rising, the Senior Warden
represents the Sun at its setting, and the Junior Warden represents the Sun at
Meridian." Quoted from the Mosonic Report, McQuaig, p.18.In Baal worship,
which is Witchcraft, it is taught that the god of nature, the Ruler of the
Zodiac, the Sun, was both male and female. Now the three gods of the Trinity,
or three great lights (sun, moon and stars) were symbolized as the geometric
symbol which the Greeks called the Delta, or the Triangle [1].The Egyptian
pyramids to the Sun are solid figures on a triangular square with sloping
sides meeting at an apex. The male and female elements of the Sun-god were
symbolized, as we saw earlier, by two pyramids or triangles: The male
symbolized as a triangle pointing upward, the female pointing downward. As we
saw earlier, the pagans combined the two to form what is called the Hexagram.
This is one of the most evil signs of Witchcraft. It is used in magic to
control spirits (demons). It is used by witches to cast a spell, to charm, or
injure a person or his property [2]. One of the most common uses for this
symbol is the Star of David in the Jewish faith. This six pointed star
commonly used by the deceived Jews is called the Seal of Solomon among Masons
[3]. And the five pointed star called the Pentagram, that witches get in the
center to cast their spells, is also a Masonic symbol. They call the Pentagram
the Blazing Star [4].Now keeping in mind that Freemasonry is astrological in
all areas as this will help us see other deceptions as we go on. All Star
worship, as originally taught by the Babylonians, says man's soul is immortal,
and at death he had a place in Heaven among the stars. However, the chief gods
of the Zodiac were the Seven Stars:1. Sun 2. Moon 3. Venus 4. Mars 5. Jupiter
6. Mercury 7. Saturn
The
Morning Star, which is the East Star (the Phoenix, or Venus to the Romans),
was the nocturnal representation of the hidden Sun-god Osiris, or his soul
according to Egyptian mythology. He was called "Athtar," the East
Star, among the Arabs, which actually meant "Lucifer," the
Illuminated One. The Masons have adopted the name "The Blazing Star"
to describe this symbol which the evil sign of Witchcraft (the Pentagram)
derived with its two horns (points) attacking Heaven.Albert Pike says in his
book Morals and Dogma, on pages 15 and 16:"Our French Brethren place this
letter Yod, in the centre of the Blazing Star. And in the old Lectures, our
ancient English Brethren said, 'The Blazing Star or glory in the centre refers
us to that grand luminary, THE SUN, which enlightens the earth, and by its
genial influence dispenses blessing to mankind." Pike goes on to
say,"They call it also in the same lectures, an EMBLEM OF PRUDENCE. The
word Prudentia means, in its original and fullest signification, Foresight;
and accordingly, the Blazing Star has been regarded as an EMBLEM OF
OMNISCIENCE, OR THE ALLSEEING EYE, which to the Egyptian Initiates was the
EMBLEM OF OSIRIS THE CREATOR. With the Yod in the centre, it has the
kabalistic meaning of the Divine Energy, manifested as Light, creating the
Universe."The pyramid with the ALLSEEING EYE as the cap stone, which is a
symbol of the EYE OF LUCIFER, can be found on the back of an American Federal
Reserve Note for One Dollar. We will study how this satanic occult sign became
an emblem of the United States monetary system in the next chapter. Very few
Americans know that more than 50 of the signatories of the Declaration of
independence were either Masons or Rosicrucians, and were much into the
esoteric (secret) sciences such as Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, Cabala, etc.
Our own Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were both expert astrologers
(occultists) [5].
As
we saw earlier, the ancients often used animals and birds to represent their
chief deities in their myths. The "Phoenix" to the Egyptian was a
species of the Heron family with long crest feathers. The name Phoenix to the
Egyptians, as to other pagan nations was a name that symbolized the Sun-god
under the names Ra and Osiris, and in later times was also their embodiment in
the planet Venus, which is the Morning Star, or East Star. The name Phoenix,
as we pointed out earlier, means "Shining One" [6] and so does the
name "Lucifer" [7]. However, it was the Eagle (Sumerian symbol)
which took flight daily across the vault of Heaven and traversed the celestial
dominion of the stars and constellations, descending toward the Rising Sun
from the storm clouds of Adad. The Eagle was a symbol of the Sun-god as the
Spring and Morning Sun, victorious over the powers of Darkness and the
Underworld through which he passed nightly [8].
As
several times throughout this book, we have tried to show that it is Satan
(Lucifer) who is being worshipped through a camouflage of pagan gods
symbolized as humans, animals or birds. It was Lucifer who was the original
"Light Bearer" (Isaiah 14:12).Now this sacred bird of light, the
Phoenix, who was also symbolized as a peacock and heron, is also worshipped
today among the American Indians as the Eagle. Very few Masons, like the Roman
Catholics, understand the religion they blindly serve. They're told to do
things they don't understand and they do them without questioning why. And so
is it among the Protestant circles. They never think to check the words their
Pastors have told them with the Holy Scriptures themselves, as the Bible
clearly states: "Prove all things: hold fast that which is good."
1.Thessalonians 5:21.Very few Masons know that Albert Pike, this highest
authority of Freemasonry, The Prince Adept, Mystic, Poet, and Scholar of
Freemasonry, was himself also the head of the Palladist, another Secret
Society which openly worshipped Lucifer and was bent on destroying
Christianity, replacing it with the worship of Lucifer himself. Albert Pike,
the head of the Freemasons, was also an Apostle of Lucifer! Here from the
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, Vol. 12, p. 204, we read the
following:"The latter group, with which we are mainly concerned, was
known under the alternative names of LUCIFERIANS and PALLADISTS. They were
said to adore LUCIFER, the equal and foe of ADONAI, Jahweh. He was in their
view the God of Light, the good principle, while Adonai was THE GOD OF
DARKNESS, THE EVIL PRINCIPLE. In sort, he was Satan himself. This worship was
founded on a dualistic philosophy and was a sort of topsy-turvy Christianity.
The name of Palladists is derived from a palladium which they were said to
revere, namely the BAPHOMET or grotesque idol, the worship of which was one of
the articles of accusations against the "Knights Templars" in the
14th century. It was alleged that the Baphomet was preserved in secret through
nearly five centuries after the suppression of the order and ultimately
carried by one Isaac Long in 1801, together with the skull of the last Grand
Master, the unhappy Jacques du Molay, from Paris to Charleston in the United
States of America. These relies were averred to have there become the sacred
objects of a society which was a development of Freemasonry.
"The
head of the society, we are told, was one ALBERT PIKE, under whose influence
it spread all over the civilized world."After Albert Pike's death,
Adriand Lemmi transferred this Luciferian Secret Society from Charleston to
Rome. And it was reported that the most foul, cruel and obscene rites, along
with the adjuration of Christ and his religion, accompanied by the appearance
of Satan himself, were all part of the ceremonies that took place during their
meetings. See Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, Vol. 12, p. 204.From the
beginning of this book, we have to show the reader that there is a spiritual
conflict between God and Lucifer, and Christians and Luciferans. We have tried
to show through history how Satan has indeed been working little by little to
condition the world into worshipping him through various camouflages. Just
like Lucifer tried to overthrow the worship of Adonai (Jehovah) in Heaven, so
does Lucifer have him a Worldwide Conspiracy working today, behind the public
eye, that is bent on destroying the Christian religion, and establishing a
Luciferian Government on this earth, lust as Christ commissions His people to
go and preach the Gospel to every kindred, tongue and nation, so does Lucifer
have his apostles who are as determined to promote their god through
"spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12. Just as our
Lord gives His people the "Spirit of Prophecy" (Revelation 19:10),
so does Lucifer give his people the "Spirit of Divination" (Acts 16
:16). This gospel of Lucifer is IIluminism, and is the foundation of the
various Secret Societies.
If
the reader has any doubts about Albert Pike's involvement in the Luciferian
Conspiracy, let his own words in his own book, Morals and Dogma, help convince
you. Here from page 787 is how Pike slowly instructs unsuspecting Masons about
the importance of the Eagle, which is another emblem of Freemasonry, and from
ancient times a symbol of Lucifer."A great Black Eagle, King of Birds. He
alone it is that can fire the Sun, material in its nature, that has no form,
and yet by its form develops color. The black is a complete harbinger of the
work: it changes color and assumes a natural form, out whereof will emerge a
brilliant Sun." On page 102 of Morals and Dogma, Pike said the following:
"The
true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh (God) reversed; for
Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the
personification of Atheism or Idolatry. For the Initiates, this is not a
PERSON BUT A FORCE, CREATED FOR GOOD, BUT WHICH MAY SEAVE FOR EVIL, IT IS THE
INSTRUMENT OF LIBERTY OR FREE WILL. They represent this Force, which presides
over the physical generation, under the MYTHOLOGIC and HORNED FORM OF THE GOD
PAN; THENCE CAME THE HE-GOAT OF THE SABBAT BROTHER OF THE ANCIENT SERPENT, AND
THE LIGHTBEARER OR PHOSPHOR, OF WHICH THE POETS HAVE MADE THE FALSE LUCIFER OF
THE LEGEND."Now, on page 321 of Morals and Dogma, Pike says the
following:"Lucifer, THE LIGHT-BEARER! STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS NAME TO GIVE
TO THE SPIRIT OF DARKNESS! LUCIFER, THE SON OF THE MORNING! IT IS HE WHO BEARS
THE LIGHT AND WITH IT SPLENDORS INTOLERABLE BLINDS FEEBLE, SENSUAL, OR SELFISH
SOULS? DOUBT IT NOT!"
Just
as the Word of God is a Light that shines through the darkness (ignorance) of
this world, so is there a counterfeit Light called Illuminism that actually
derived from the name Lucifer. For "Lucifer," as we have already
seen, means "The Illuminated One," or "Shining One."
Speaking about this counterfeit Light (Illuminism), Gerald B. Winrod, D.D.
states in his booklet, Communism In Prophecy History America, p. 37:
"As
divine illumination is experience in the soul of the believer through contact
with the Holy Spirit, so also there is a counterfeit light that poisons human
thought and produces decay. There are 'seducing spirits' that impregnate human
minds with 'doctrines of devils.'"There is a white light of spiritual
illumination. But there is also a black light of demonic iilumination. Satan
himself is transformed into an angel of light.... Illuminism is black magic.
Jannes and Jambres manipulated these powers in the days of Moses. The attack
is as old as sin on the planet."Luciferians teach, it is Christ who is
the imposter and the Evil One, while it's Lucifer who is the Good God. Like
modern Witchcraft, Luciferians do not believe that Satan exists. They do not
believe Satan and Lucifer are the same god.
Another
Apostle of Lucifer, like Albert Pike, who was equal in the knowledge of the
Hermetic Sciences (Witchcraft) was one Aleister Crowley. We will examine more
shocking facts about Albert Pike later on. Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) wrote
many books on magic. He was violently against God and Christianity, and saw
himself as a Messiah of a new religion. He was a member of the Hermetic Order
of the Golden Dawn headed at that time by a Samuel Liddell Mathers, who later
expelled Crowley from their Secret Society. This Secret Society, which exists
today, taught the use of magical weapons and practiced ceremonial magic mixed
with drugs and sex.As a child, Crowley was brought up in a Christian
environment where he learned of the warning about the Beast of Revelation, and
its number of doom, 666. However, this warning took just an opposite effect on
him. Because of his terrible behaviour as a child, his mother said to Crowley
that he reminded her of the Beast of the book of Revelation that came out of
the depths of the sea, with horns on his head, blaspheming God. Later as
Crowley developed a deep seated hatred for Jesus Christ, he became ever more
zealous in trying to destroy Christianity. To show his rejection of God and
the Bible, not understanding what the beast symbolized in the Bible, his
ignorance led him to proclaim that he was the Beast 666, and finally found a
name that he could use that would add to that number 666. The name he used was
"THE WILD BEAST," which in Greek, "TO META OHPION," adds
to 666 [9].Like Ahab and Jezebel in the Bible, he made an all out effort to
promote the Mysteries of Sun worship. He held according to Crowley, meetings
with what he called a Secret Chief (familiar spirit) called AIWAZ. This Aiwaz
helped in writing one of his books called The Book of the Law [10], where
Crowley summed up his magical philosophy with his motto: "DO WHAT THOU
WILL SHALL BE THE WHOLE LAW" [11].
In
Crowley's book, Magick in Theory and Practice, he states the
following:"The Devil is, historically, the God of any people that one
personally dislikes. This has led to so much confusion of thought that The
Beast 666 has preferred to let names stand as they are, and to proclaim simply
that Aiwaz -- the solar-phallichermetic "LUCIFER" is His own Holy
GUARDIAN ANGEL, AND "THE DEVIL" SATAN OR HADIT OR OUR PARTICULAR
UNIT OF THE STARRY UNIVERSE. THIS SERPENT SATAN, IS NOT THE ENEMY OF MAN, BUT
WHO MADE THE GODS OF OUR RACE, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL; HE BADE "KNOW
THYSELF!" and taught Initiation. He is "THE DEVIL" OF THE BOOK
OF THOTH, AND HIS EMBLEM IS "BAPHOMET;" the Androgyne who is the
hieroglyph of arcane perfection."Crowley goes on to say, "... But
moreover his letter is Ayin, THE EYE; he is Light, and his ZODIACAL IMAGE IS
CAPRICORNUS, THAT LEAPING GOAT WHOSE ATTRIBUTE IS LIBERTY."Now, it was
this same Aleister Crowley who helped establish an Order of Rosicrucians in
San Jose, California. And Crowley is numbered among other magicians and
sorcerers such as Emanuel Swedenborg, Sir Richard Kelly, Eliphas Levi, Alice
Bailey, and that pot-smoking medium named Madame Blavatsky (founder of the
Theosophical Society which we will study in a moment) as one of the leaders of
modern Spiritualism today.
Because
the books Aleister Crowley wrote were exposing the secrets of the occult, in
1912 Crowley received an unexpected visit at his flat in Victoria Street,
London, from one Theodar Reuss, a high ranking German Freemason, and also an
agent of the German Secret Police. Reuss had come over from Germany for the
express purpose of meeting Crowley and accusing him of giving away magical
secrets [12]. Among the occultists, giving away secrets is a crime punishable
by death, as it is in Freemasonry. And since there is very little difference
between any of these Secret Societies, this vow of secrecy applies to all
occultists.
Now
this Theodar Reuss was not only a high ranking German Freemason, but belonged
to another Secret Society called ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS, or Order of the
Templars of the East, that the infamous pot-smoking Madame Blavatsky and Karl
Relier an associate of Blavatsky, founded in 1902 [13].Now, special attention
should be given to this "Ordo Templi Orientis," for it centers
around much of the Antichrist movement among our young people today! The Ordo
Templi Orientis claimed that it could communicate in nine Degrees the secrets
not only of Freemasonry, but of the Rosicrucians, The Illuminati, the Order of
the Holy Grail, the Knights of the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Sepulchre [14].
Blavatsky and her associates claimed they were the key which opens up all
Masonic and Hermetic secrets, namely, the teaching of sexual magic (Phallicism),
and this doctrine of sexual magic would explain, without exception, all the
secrets of Nature, all the symbolism of Freemasonry, and all systems of
religion [15].
So,
since Crowley was very learned in these areas and was revealing these things
to the ordinary reader in his books, Reuss was sent to tell Crowley:
"Since you know our hidden sex teachings, you'd better come into our
Order." Crowley agreed, and after a journey to Berlin, he was transformed
with due ceremony into the Supreme and Holy King of Ireland, Iona, and all
them Britons that are in the Sanctuary of the Gnosis. And he gave himself the
magical name of BAPHOMET [16], which we saw is just another name for Lucifer.
Now,
this Order of the Templars of the East, or Ordo Templi Orientis, in the 1960's
had a Lodge operating under the name of "The Process Church of the Final
Judgment" in Los Angeles [17]. This same "Process Church of the
Final judgment" attracted a male Witch that had studied deep into magic,
warlockery, hypnotism, astral projection, Masonic lore, scientology, ego
games, subliminal motivation, music, and whose religion was like the Yezidis,
Gnostics, and the Palladists, of whom Albert Pike was once a leader, as we
studied earlier, and which was a mixture of both Satanism and some elements of
the Bible. This religious leader and revolutionary claimed he was both Satan
and Christ [18]. His name is Charles Manson. Ironically enough, Manson studied
Witchcraft while he was in prison at McNeil Island Penitentiary in Washington
[19].
On
March 21, 1967, Manson left prison. He was thirty-two years old. At first he
went to the Bay area and hung around the Berkeley and the Haight-Ashbury
district, where he met his first disciples (Mary Brunner and Lynn
"Squeaky" Fromme). He was introduced to LSD, experienced an
hallucination, and thought he was Christ. When the leader of the
"Family" was arrested, he was booked as "Manson, Charles M. aka
Jesus Christ, God" [20].
Before
the slayings that were to become known as the Tate-LaBianca murders, Manson
and his Family moved to Santa Barbara and Topanga Canyon, where they supported
themselves by theft (especially of credit cards) and drug
dealing."Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor during the Tate-LaBianca
trials, in his search for a motive for the barbaric slayings, found that the
motive was centered around a bizarre religious belief and rock music. Also
centered around the infamous Charles Manson Family were found very well-known
names in Hollywood and rock music circles.In his book, Helter Skelter,
Bugliosi said Manson had an obsession for the Beatles' music, according to
former inmates. While he was in prison, the Beatles song, "I Want To Hold
Your Hand" became the No.1 song on the record charts in lanuary 1964.
Manson's fanatical interests while in prison were scientology, his guitar, and
his interest in the Beatles songs. But he told numerous people that, given the
chance, he could be much bigger than the Beatles [22].
Manson
believed that the Beatles were modern day prophets that were giving their
messages through their music. Manson would quote, verbatim, lyrics from the
Beatles songs, finding in them a multitude of hidden meanings. He would also
use his interpretation of Revelation chapter 9 to support his own views [23].
Now here lies the bizarre reasoning behind the mass murders he and his Family
committed. We are not interested in studying the bloody history of the actual
killings, but how these young human beings could be led to do such things.
First
of all, the reader must remember that the basic foundation to all Witchcraft
is the belief that man will continue to live after death (immortality of the
soul). That man is, as it were, stuck in a body, but it is only temporary,
because he has a soul that will live in Paradise at death. This first lie,
"Ye shall not surely die," as we studied earlier, is not a new
doctrine, but is as old as this first lie. To help a Bible believer understand
why the chapter 9 in the book of Revelation was more viewed than the 13th,
14th, 16th, 17th or 28th chapters by the Manson Family we have to know the
significance behind the occultist doctrine of the number 9.In ancient pagan
numerology, the number 9 is the number of the circle, which was a symbol of
infinity or immortality. Take the zodiac, for instance. As we saw earlier, it
was a 360° circle. Now the numbers 36 and 360, both important to astrologers,
would add to 9 if their components were separated and added: 3+6=9 3+6+0=9.
Much medieval magic revolves around the number 9. It was considered one of the
most potent of numbers because it was composed of the all powerful 3 that
represented the Trinity: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9. The number nine was sacred to the
pagan goddess [24] of death, the underworld and Hell, the burning place of
torment. Witches believed that they could be reincarnated nine times
[25].Charles Manson believed and taught that death was only a change.
"The soul or spirit can't die," he said. Death was "a fear that
was born in man's head and can be taken out of man's head, and then it would
no longer exist" [26].
Ancient
pagans believed that death was a blessing, for at death they would shed this
mortal body and become a ghost. It was recorded that the Aztec Indians in
Central Mexico sacrificed 20 thousand human beings a year without the
slightest guilt of conscience. Even the victims themselves would line up with
little resistance to be sacrificed to the Sungod. Some believed it was a high
calling to die for the Sun-god because in their myth, the Sun and the Stars
killed each other at night. Huitzilopochtli (the Aztec Sun-god) was reborn
every morning. The bloody sacrifices of the Aztecs were believed necessary
because the Sun-god was nourished by human blood. Most of the wars carried out
against their neighboring tribes were to get unwilling victims to
sacrifice.Charles Manson taught his disciples that they were living in the Age
of the Armageddon and the word he used for this Great Battle was "Helter
Skelter." He taught his followers that the battle of Armageddon would be
fought by a race war between the blacks and whites. There are two keys to
understanding this ignorant man's murderous propaganda, and his false
interpretation of the book of Revelation. One, the number 9 in Witchcraft, as
we have seen, identified with death, Hell (fire and brimstone), and also the
immortal soul. Hence, Manson's whole religion was based on his interpretation
of Revelation chapter 9. The second key to understanding the Manson madness
was the revolutionary propaganda from the Beatles songs. John Lennon of the
Beatles can be quoted as saying, "Christianity will go. It will vanish
and shrink. I needn't argue about that: I'm right, and I will be proved right.
We're (the Beatles) more popular than Jesus now..." St. Louis Globe
Democrat, Aug. 5, 1966, quoted from The Death of a Nation, Stormer, Liberty
Bell Press, 1968, p. 67.
What
came to pass about the Beatles and John Lennon's tragic death is public record
but Christianity is still here, and will continue until Christ's Second
Coming. Saith the Lord: "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that
are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful." Revelation 17:14.A
decade after the Tate-LaBianca murders, it was reported that evil propaganda
messages were found in some Beatles songs. This article appeared in the San
Antonio Light, Monday, February 1, 1982. The headline read: "Backward
masked Satan promos found on some Rock'n Roll Records." Evil messages
were not only found in the Beatles' music, but also in other rock groups, such
as Led Zeppelin, Queen, Black Oak Arkansas, and the Electric Light Orchestra.
This subliminal technique of hiding satanic messages is known as
"Backward Masking." Messages that cannot be heard when played
forward are implanted in the songs. This backward masking of messages can only
be understood when the record is played backwards. This is done by placing the
speed of the turntable in neutral position, then spinning it by finger
backwards at a speed where the voice of the group is distinguishable. The Led
Zeppelin song, "Stairway to Heaven," played backwards can be heard
to say: "MY SWEET SATAN.... THE ONE WILL BE SAD WHO MAKES ME SAD, WHOSE
POWER IS SATAN." Forward the lyrics say, "YES, THERE ARE TWO PATHS
YOU CAN GO BY; BUT IN THE LONG RUN THERE'S STILL TIME TO CHANGE THE ROAD
YOU'RE ON."
The
Black Oak Arkansas song, "The Day Electricity Came to Arkansas,"
contains the backward message, "SATAN, SATAN, SATAN, HE IS GOD."
Although the Beatles songs do not mention the name Satan in their White Album,
still it is the Beatles song, "Revolution No. 9," with which Manson
was obsessed. Charles Manson, a satanist himself, believed that the Beatles,
as modern day prophets, were telling Manson through their songs what he was to
do and what was going to cause the Battle of Armageddon [28]. Manson's
disciples also believed that the Beatles songs were speaking to Charles
Manson, especially the songs in their so-called White Album. For instance, in
the song "I Will," can be heard: "And when at last I find you /
Your song will fill the air / Sing it loud so I can hear you / Make it easy to
be near you." Manson interpreted this to mean the Beatles wanted him to
make an album too. He firmly believed that he was Christ and the Beatles were
looking for him. Manson told his followers that the Beatles knew that Christ
had returned to earth again and that he was living somewhere in Los Angeles
[29]. Here is confusion. John Lennon, as we saw, was antiChrist.
In
the Beatles' White Album is a song called "Honey Pie," which can be
heard: "Oh honey pie, my position is tragic / Come and show me the magic
/ Of your Hollywood song." The song goes on to say: "Oh Honey Pie
you are driving me frantic / Sail across the Atlantic / To be where you
belong." In January and February of 1969 just after the White Album was
released, Manson and his disciples tried to contact the Beatles through
several telegrams, letters, and through telephone calls to England, to invite
the Beatles to cross over the Atlantic and join him in Death Valley. However,
they were without success [30].Manson told his followers that in the Beatles
White Album were found the messages that would "set up things for the
revolution" he believed was the Battle of Armageddon. There were actually
five songs that Manson and his disciples took, more than the others found on
the album, that they believed were messages directed to him. They were:
"Blackbird," "Piggies," "Revolution 1,"
"Revolution 9" and "Helter Skelter" [31]. In the song,
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night / Take these broken wings and
learn to fly / AIl your life / You were only waiting for this moment to
arise." Manson interpreted this to mean that the black man was going to
arise, overthrow the white man, and take his turn. And the Beatles, according
to Manson, were trying to cause them to start a race war. We will come back to
this revolutionary propaganda in a moment.
To
understand this satanic delusion, we need to see how Manson butchered the Holy
Scriptures to support his prophecy of Helter Skelter (Armageddon). In
Revelation 9:1, we read:"And the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star
fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit." Now Manson's interpretation of the bottomless pit is a
cave underneath Death Valley, where his chosen people (the Family) would go
during the Negro Revolt (Helter Skelter), that he said the Hopi Indians knew
about [32]. Manson said his Family were the original Christians reincarnated,
and that the Romans had returned as the Establishment. Hence, Manson and his
chosen people would remain in this secret paradise underneath Death Valley
until his chosen people grew to the number 144,000. Manson told his disciples
that the bottomless pit has a golden city with a river of milk and honey that
runs through it, and a tree that bears twelve kinds of fruit, a different
fruit each month. You don't need to bring candles, nor any flashlights, down
there because the walls will glow, and it wouldn't be cold or be too hot. And
there would be warm springs and fresh water, and people would already be down
there waiting for him [33].
The
first four angels of Revelation, chapters 8 and 9, Manson interpreted to be
the four Beatles and the Locusts (insects) were describing the Beatles also
because "They had hair as the hair of women" Revelation 9:8. Out of
the mouths of the Four Angels (Beatles) "issued fire and brimstone."
In Revelation 9:17, the fire and brimstone CAME OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF THE
HORSES, NOT THE FOUR ANGELS as Manson mis-interpreted. This fire and brimstone
represented the lyrics, according to Manson, the power of the songs of the
Beatles [34]. Their "breastplates of fire" were the electric
guitars. Their shapes "like unto horses prepared unto battle" were
their dune buggies. The Horsemen who numbered two hundred thousand thousand
and who would roam the earth spreading destruction, were the motorcycle gangs.
And the Fifth Angel, according to Manson, was himself [35].Now in Revelation
9:4 it talks about "the SEAL OF GOD in their foreheads." Manson was
asked what this meant and he said that this meant there would be a MARK on
people that only he would be able to see, and the MARK would designate whether
they were with him or against him [36].And in Revelation 9:11 we read:
"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his
name APOLLYON. " Abaddon means "destroyer." Manson, who
believed he was both Christ and Satan incarnated, believed that this applied
to him, for according to Manson, he was "the king, which is the angel of
the bottomless pit."
The
Beatles song "Revolution 9" contains a segment that, played
backward, has another message. The repetition of "number nine, number
nine" in reverse says, "Turn me on dead man." "Revolution
1," as given on the jacket insert, reads: "You say you want a
revolution / Well you know / We all want to change the world... / But when you
talk about destruction / Don't you know that you can count me out."
However, when you listen to the record itself, immediately after
"OUT" you hear the word "IN" and Manson took this to mean
the Beatles once undecided, now favored the Revolution. Now later on in the
song, the lyrics say, "You say you got a real solution / Well you know /
We'd all love to see the plan." To Manson, the meaning of this lyric was
obvious: Manson was to sing out and tell the TUNE-IN people how to escape the
Armageddon (Helter Skelter) [37].
In
"Revolution 9," the listener hears whispers, shouts, snatches of
dialogue from the BBC, bits of classical music, mortars exploding, babies
crying, church hymns, car horns and football yells-which, together with a
chant of "Number 9, Number 9, Number 9," build to a climax of
machinegun fire and screams, followed by the soft and obviously symbolic
lullaby of "Good Night" [38].Manson said this was the Beatles' way
of prophesying the battle of Armageddon, which Manson believes is a race war.
In the background of all this noise on Revolution 9, Manson heard the oinking
of pigs and a man's voice saying, "Rise." This to Manson was the
Beatles' way of telling the black man that now was the time to RISE and start
the Armageddon. Manson told his followers that the race war would start by
Blacks going to the rich piggy districts and murdering them, cutting bodies
up, smearing blood, and writing things on the wall in blood. These
superatrocious crimes would cause the white man to start the war. The
statement Manson made signed his own guilt decree. On the walls of the places
where the murder victims were found, written in blood were the words, DEATH.TO
THE PIGS, RISE and HELTER SKELTER [38].
The
whole plan of this revolution and terrorism was to incite the white man into
starting another civil war. The question is, was all this an isolated plan of
one crazed lunatic, or was Manson himself just a pawn in a much larger circle
of hidden instigators that want to provoke revolution, riots, race wars, and
anarchy?John A. Stormer, author of the seven-million-copy best seller, None
Dare Call It Treason, has written another book called The Death of a Nation,
where he has documentive proof that the riots of the late 1960's were
Communist inspired:
"The
Riots, Looting, sniper attacks on police and massive civil disturbances which
have racked American cities since 1964 are part of the Communist program for
destroying America's ability to resist."In February 1967, FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover told a committee of the U.S. Congress: 'Communists and other
subversives and extremists strive and labor ceaselessly to precipitate racial
trouble and take advantage of racial discord in this country. Such elements
were active in exploiting and aggravating the riots, for example, the Harlem,
Watts, Cleveland, and Chicago.' " Quoted from The Death of a Nation,
Stormer, Liberty Bell Press, 1968, p. 24.Now, another question should be
asked. Who are the Communists? Where did they actually come from? Did they
just appear out of thin air? Or are they too just another pawn for a much
larger circle of hidden instigators that want to provoke revolution, riots,
race wars, and anarchy? As we continue to study the Great Luciferian
Conspiracy, the reader will learn that Luciferian fronts designed to destroy
all controlling governments and religions are the real hidden instigators of
all the Communist Parties of the world, and Communism actually derived out of
Spiritualism (Witchcraft)! And the diabolical scheme of the Manson Family and
the riots of the sixties are only a shadow of what Lucifer's plans are for the
future. The whole world is to be thrown into riot and Revolution by these
conspirators, as a way to frighten the inhabitants into a one world
government. Just to show what people can be led to do by a false religious
spirit, Susan Atkins, one of the murderers of Sharon Tate and a member of the
Manson Family Conspiracy, with her puppy-dog eyes and childish manner, told a
jail inmate that she helped kill Sharon Tate, and said: "YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A REAL LOVE IN YOUR HEART TO DO THIS FOR PEOPLE" [40].
What
could lead these people we just read about to train their consciences to
accept these murders and social upheavals they tried to cause? The real source
and blame can be placed on those whom Satan used during the 18th, 19th and
20th centuries who were responsible for reviving the sciences of Witchcraft.
Manson, and the Communist Party, are products of the writings of Emanuel
Swedenburg, Adam Weishaupt, Sir Richard Kelly, Eliphas Levi, Karl Marx, Madame
Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, Margaret Murry, Gerald B. Gardner, just to name a
few. We will examine this more as we continue.To show the reader how
Witchcraft is gaining control, on October 31, 1971, Leo Martello, long an
activist for civil and gay rights, organized a "Witch-In" in New
York's Central Park. He finally obtained a permit from the Parks Department to
stage his demonstration with the determined efforts of the New York Civil
Liberties Union. Martello shortly after formed what was to become the Witches
Anti-Defamation League, devoted to securing religious rights for Witches [40].
Then later, Isaac Bonewits, a self-proclaimed male Witch, and a number of
other occultists formed the AADL, the Aquarian Anti-Defamation League, we
often hear about. This organization is dedicated to fighting legal battles on
behalf of pagans and occultists [41].
As
stated earlier, Witchcraft is the biggest rival of modern Christianity. The
average gullible Christian has no knowledge of what is happening all around
him, even within his own church, about how Spiritualism is a very serious
threat. However, we are determined to bring these things out in the light for
all to see. But to do this, the reader must have a complete understanding of
what these Secret Societies actually are.Like Witchcraft, Freemasons are bound
by oaths and obligations under the pain of death if they should prove
willfully guilty of violating any part of their solemn oaths or obligations.
One of their obligations is toward their brother Mason. In the Masonic Hand
Book, on page 183 we read:"Whenever you see any of our signs made by a
brother Mason, and especially the grand hailing sign of distress, you must
always be sure to obey them, even at the risk of your life. If you're on a
jury, and the defendant is a Mason, and makes the Grand Hailing sign, you must
obey it; you must DISAGREE WITH YOUR BROTHER JURORS, IF NECESSARY; BUT YOU
MUST BE SURE NOT TO BRING THE MASON GUILTY FOR THAT WOULD BRING DISGRACE UPON
THE ORDER. IT MAY BE PERJURY, TO BE SURE, TO DO THIS, BUT THEN YOU'RE
FULFILLING YOUR OBLIGATION, AND YOU KNOW IF YOU LIVE UP TO YOUR OBLIGATIONS
YOU'LL BE FREE FROM SIN." Quoted in The Masonic Report, McQuaig, p. 9.
During
the Tate-LaBianCa trials - with Susan Atkins testifying to how good it felt
when the knife went into Sharon Tate -- Manson was flashing Masonic hand
signals to the judge [42]. We made a statement a little while back that
Freemasonry is nothing less than BAAL WORSHIP. So that there will be no more
confusion about this, we will now let the Masons say so themselves. Here from
The Master's Carpet, by Edmond Ronayne, on page 247 we read the
following:"So then Because OUR ANCIENT BRETHREN -- 'THE OLD
SUN-WORSHIPERS' -- MET ON THE HIGHEST HILLS TO WORSHIP BAAL, OR THE SUN-GOD,
AND FREEMASONRY BEING THAT SAME WORSHIP REVIVED, IT MUST NECESSARILY FOLLOW
THAT MASONIC LODGES MUST BE HELD IN THE HIGHEST ROOMS OF BUILDINGS, TO CARRY
OUT THE COINCIDENCE." Quoted from The Mosonic Report, McQuaig, p. 15.Many
of the lower Degrees of Freemasonry in America and England will urge that the
things we have exposed about Freemasonry thus far are false, because they have
been led to believe that Freemasonry is a Christian organization. But the
higher Degrees of Freemasonry should know that nothing could be further from
the truth. Now it is true that in Christian lands the Bible is placed with a
Square and a Compass on the altar of their Lodges. However, like the name
Solomon, the Bible is just a symbol in Freemasonry, not a standard of
measuring truth. Here again from Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma, page 11, we
read the following:
"The
Holy Bible, Square, and Compasses, are not only styled the Great Lights in
Masonry, but they are technically called the Furniture of the Lodge; and, as
you have seen, it is held that there is no Lodge without them. This has
sometimes been made a pretext for excluding Jews from our Lodges, Because they
cannot regard the New Testament as a Holy Book. The Bible is an INDISPENSABLE
PART OF THE FURNITURE OF A CHRISTIAN LODGE, ONLY BECAUSE IT IS THE SACRED BOOK
OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. The Hebrew Pentateuch in a Hebrew Lodge and the
Koran in a Mohammedan one, belong on the Altar; and one of these and the
Square and Compass, properly understood, are the LIGHTS BY WHICH A MASON MUST
WALK AND WORK."Reader, the truth is, Freemasonry has nothing whatsoever
to do with the Bible. It is just used as an ornament to attract Christian men
into the lodge in Christian lands. In a book, Digest of Masonic Law, on pages
207 through 209 we find a statement that says this:"MASONRY HAS NOTHING
WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE BIBLE, THAT IT IS NOT FOUNDED ON THE BIBLE, FOR IF
IT WERE IT WOULD NOT BE MASONRY, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE." Quoted from
The Masonic Report, McQuaig, p. 2.Now that the Masonic Books have established
that Masonry is the pagan religions of the world under one banner, what about
the God of the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ? Is he worshipped in any of these
Masonic Lodges? From The Masonic Hand Book, page 184, we read:"Whether
you swear or take God's name in vain don't MATTER SO MUCH. OF COURSE THE NAME
LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOU KNOW, DON'T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, BUT MAH-HAH-BONE --
O, HORROR! YOU MUST NEVER, ON ANY ACCOUNT, SPEAK THAT AWFUL NAME ALOUD. THAT
WOULD BE A MOST HEINOUS CRIME... UNMASONIC -- UNPARDONABLE." Quoted from
The Masonic Report, McQuaig, p. 2.
Now
here we start to see the real colors of Freemasonry. Again, from the Masonic
Hand Book, page 74, we read the following:"When a Brother reveals any of
OUR GREAT SECRETS; WHENEVER, FOR INSTANCE, HE TELLS ANYTHING ABOUT BOAZ, OR
TUBALCAIN, OR JACHIN OR THAT AWFUL MAH-HAH-BONE, OR EVEN WHENEVER A MINISTER
PRAYS IN THE NAME OF CHRIST IN ANY OF OUR ASSEMBLIES, YOU MUST ALWAYS HOLD
YOURSELF IN READINESS, IF CALLED UPON TO CUT HIS THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR, PULL
OUT HIS TONGUE BY THE ROOTS AND BURY HIS BODY AT THE BOTTOM OF SOME LAKE OR
POND." Quoted from The Masonic Report, McQuaig, p. 3.Does the reader need
to go on and on through the doctrines of Freemasonry to see for himself that
Freemasonry is anti-Christ, and it speaks as a dragon? However, we want to
make clear to the reader that most Masons do not know these things that have
been shown to you, until they reach the highest degrees of Freemasonry. The
pattern of deception in Freemasonry is the very same pattern of deceptions
found in Witchcraft. There are lower and higher Degrees of knowledge in
Witchcraft too. The lower class worship at first a system of a godhead with a
mother goddess and a pagan saviour of the world. In Egypt, the godhead of Sun
worship was Osiris (the Sun), Isis (the Moon), and Horus (the Star). In
Babylon, they were Baal, Ishtar, and Tammuz. In Mexico, they were Teotl,
Coatlicue, and Quetzalcoatl. All these gods derived from the first King in the
world, the first builder of cities (mason), and his wife known in history as
Semiramis. Nimrod and his wife Semiramis are where all the Sun-gods and Moon
goddesses can be traced and so is it with the religion of Freemasonry.
We
have already seen that even Freemasons admit that the founders of their Order
were Nimrod and Hermes (Cush). But even some chief adepts of these systems of
idolatry are ignorant of this fact. However, when the initiate finally reaches
the highest level of pagandom and of Masonry, he discovers from the learned
Doctors that these gods that he was taught to worship do not exist. Initiates
are taught to worship these gods at first because within the worship of these
gods are knowledge of secret sciences of the Universe, and the worship of
these gods will teach to the student of Freemasonry the discipline of a close
knit civilized society which is beneficial to mankind.
Masons
are purposely deceived at first, then as they progress through the higher
Degrees of Masonry (which is nothing less than learning more about the satanic
power of Witchcraft), they are gradually conditioned to accept the Luciferian
doctrine that it is Lucifer who is really the god behind all gods. To see this
is true, we will go back and quote again a statement by Albert Pike.Pike,
writing about the pagan Trinity of the Angle-Saxons, states the
following:"Our northern ancestors worshipped this Triune Deity; Odin, the
Almighty Father; Frea, his wife, emblem of the universal matter; and Thor his
son, the Mediator. But ABOVE THESE WAS THE SUPREME GOD,'THE AUTHOR OF
EVERYTHING THAT EXISTETH, THE ETERNAL, THE ANCIENT, THE LIVING and AWFUL
BEING, THE SEARCHER INTO CONCEALED THINGS, THE BEING THAT NEVER CHANGETH.'
" Morals and Dogma, Pike, p. 13.Above all the gods, Pike says there is
another. Now since we have already seen statements found in authorized books
on Freemasonry that this other god is not Jesus Christ, it should not be hard
for the reader to believe the shocking truth we are now about to show. Pike
knows that these cosmic gods of astrology do not exist, and he plainly states
how ignorant they are that worship them. From Morals and Dogma, Pike, page
375, we read the following:
"In
all the histories of the gods and heroes lay couched and hidden astronomical
details and the history of the perations of visible nature; and those in turn
were also symbols of higher and profounder truths. None but the RUDE
UNCULTIVATED INTELLECTS COULD LONG CONSIDER THE SUN AND STARS AND THE POWERS
OF NATURE AS DIVINE, OR AS FIT OBJECTS OF HUMAN WORSHIP: AND THEY WILL
CONSIDER THEM SO WHILE THE WORLD LASTS: AND EVER REMAIN IGNORANT OF THE GREAT
SPIRITUAL TRUTHS OF WHICH ARE THE HIEROGLYPHICS."To show that most Masons
do not know the true purpose of Freemasonry and its god, here again from The
Masonic Report, on page 5, McQuaig says:"That the figures and schemes for
the knowledge and properties of Nature ARE PRESERVED IN MASONRY, but not the
pseudo-Masonry of the majority of the craft members."From a Masonic book
called Black and White, Hartmen, p. 62, we read: "FORTUNATE IS THE MASON
OR PRIEST WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE TEACHES. BUT OF SUCH DISCIPLES THERE ARE
ONLY A FEW" Quoted from The Mosonic Report, p. 5.Now, the Blue Lodge
Masonry is a deliberate hoax especially designed to deceive Masonry's ignorant
masses into believing that they know something about the secrets of Masonry,
when in reality they know nothing whatsoever.
Albert
Pike expresses this in his book Morals and Dogma on page 819:"The Blue
Degrees are but the outer or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are
displayed there to the Initiate, BUT HE IS INTENTIONALLY MISLED BY FALSE
INTERPRETATIONS. IT IS NOT INTENDED THAT HE SHALL UNDERSTAND THEM; BUT IT IS
INTENDED THAT HE SHALL IMAGINE HE UNDERSTAND THEM. THEIR TRUE EXPLICATION IS
RESERVED FOR THE ADEPTS, THE PRINCES OF MASONRY. THE WHOLE BODY OF THE ROYAL
AND SACERDOTAL ART WAS HIDDEN SO CAREFULLY CENTURIES SINCE, IN THE HIGH
DEGREES, AS THAT IT IS EVEN YET POSSIBLE TO SOLVE MANY OF THE ENIGMAS WHICH
THEY CONTAIN. IT IS WELL ENOUGH FOR THE MASS OF THOSE CALLED MASONS, TO
IMAGINE THAT ALL IS CONTAINED IN THE BLUE DEGREES; AND WHOSO ATTEMPTS TO
UNDECEIVE THEM WILL LABOR IN VAIN, AND WITHOUT ANY TRUE REWARD VIOLATE HIS
OBLIGATIONS AS AN ADEPT MASONRY IS THE VERITABLE SPHINX, BURIED TO THE HEAD IN
THE SANDS HEAPED ROUND IT BY THE AGES."From the very first deception in
the Garden of Eden unto this present day, Satan has caused man to err from the
True God by keeping him busy in seeking things that lead away from God. By
kindling a desire in Adam and Eve to go outside the law of God, Satan caused
Adam and Eve to lose eternal life. It was self indulgence and self
glorification that led Eve to seek this mysterious knowledge of good and evil.
Satan
told Eve by taking the fruit of the tree of knowledge, her eyes would be open
and she would become as gods. In other words, she would reach the great
heights of wisdom. Her curiosity was aroused and Satan kindled a desire in her
to want to know about this forbidden knowledge. This same voice has been
preserved and heard through the mouths of the Adepts of Freemasonry, and all
other Secret Societies and religions that teach Babylonian precepts. This same
trap that made Eve fall into a snare of the Devil is used the same way today.
This same forbidden knowledge Satan used on Eve is today called the Mysteries,
to the occultists. In the Bible, it's called "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." Revelation
17:5.Very few Americans know what part Secret Societies have played and are
playing in Lucifer's attempt to establish his total rule on this planet. This
is and has been a gradual attempt to overthrow Christianity and Jesus Christ.
As we stated before, what Lucifer tried to do in Heaven, this world now is
experiencing. Instead of a struggle only between Lucifer and his angels, and
Christ and His Angels, the conflict is now between Christ and His people who
have His Spirit, and Lucifer and his people, who are possessed by him and his
devils. Satan is pouring out his power to his human agents to work miracles
and lying wonders without measure, to deceive and destroy the very elect of
God if possible."Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for
the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time." Revelation 12:12.Satan has been hiding behind
these Secret Societies to further his plans in his conspiracy to condition the
inhabitants of this world to accept his rule. But this is only one of his
fronts. We will lay wide open, as we did Freemasonry, an even more diabolical
scheme to cause inhabitants of this world to lose their part in what Christ
promised in Scripture. As we continue to follow history, we will see how
Lucifer will deceive the very elect if possible.
Very
few loyal Americans know what part Freemasonry has played in helping Lucifer
establish his total power and rule in this world. American Freemasonry has
become a mass movement. In many small towns of the South and middle West,
almost every white male Protestant gentleman belongs to a Masonic Lodge [43].
And sharp distinctions are drawn between those who belong and those who do
not. Masons refer to non-Masons as "Protanes" [44]. With millions of
members, tens of millions of dollars of assets and property and billions of
dollars worth of insurance in force, this should give the reader understanding
about how much power is behind this Secret Society. The Rosicrucians alone
spend $500,000 a year seeking recruits through newspapers and magazines. The
advertisement promises to open the door of success, prosperity and popularity.
All the mysteries of life and death, reincarnation, extrasensory perception
and the secrets of the ancient mystical schools will be revealed to those who
return the advertisement's coupon to the Rosicrucian headquarters in San Jose,
California. After the reader sends in the coupon and asks for further
information about the Rosicrucian organization, he is sent a booklet entitled,
"Mystery of Life," which lists very familiar names in history who
were identified as Rosicrucians, such as Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, and
Rene Descartes."Now the reader has seen from authorized publications of
these Secret Societies that they do not exalt or worship the Christian God of
the Bible, but exalt the pagan gods of astrology and teach the mysteries of
the occult, which is Witchcraft. It should not be too hard now for the reader
to understand why we have today these signs of Witchcraft mingled within our
own United States governmental symbols. Now that the reader is aware of the
paganism in these Secret Societies and how their own members are deceived into
believing that they are Christian organizations, it should not be hard to
realize how the inventor of the occult, the god of these Secret Societies,
used deceived Masons and Rosicrucians to help establish this country.
Benjamin
Franklin, himself an expert in occultism, joined one of the first American
Lodges of Masonry, and published an edition of Anderson's Constitution in
1734. George Washington joined the Fredricksburg Lodge of Masonry in Virginia
in 1752. Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, and John Paul Jones wore the apron of
Masonry, and so did Benedict Amold [46]. A plaque on the wall that surrounds
the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas lists the names of those who died in the Texas
Revolution in February and March of 1836. The plaque was dedicated by the
Freemasonry Order in honour of Masons who gave their lives there. Among the
names are Col. William Travis, James Bowie and David Crockett.Since there have
been, from the start, Masonic Presidents, Governors, Senators, and Congressmen
making our laws and governing the affairs of our Nation, it should not be too
hard for the reader to understand how a pagan goddess that Witchcraft exalts,
that the Roman Catholic Church worships as the Virgin Mary, is standing on top
of the Capitol of the United States of America.It was not by chance that the
Capitol Building itself was designed after the rotunda, or dome, of St.
Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. James Hoban, believe it or not, was a
Catholic Freemason who designed the Capitol of the United States and was the
chief founder of the Federal Masonic Number 1, in the District of Columbia
[47].
Now
here are some more astonishing facts. Has the reader ever wondered how the
strange structure called the Washington Monument came into being? Well, in the
myth of the Egyptian god Osiris, which derived out of the legends of Nimrod,
Osiris was said to have been killed by a rival god and cut into 14 different
pieces. After cutting the body of Osiris into 14 pieces, this rival god threw
all of the parts of Osiris along the Nile. Isis, his wife, found all the
pieces but one, his genital member. Now remember, Osiris was worshipped as the
Creator, the Impregnating Force of the Universe, so the mother goddess Isis
moulded with her hands an image of the dead god's phallus, and set up one to
be venerated as a monument to Osiris [48]. Hence, the origin of Phallicism. So
in the Temple services of the pagans, a coffin with an image of Osiris'
phallus in it became part of the worship of the Sun-god. This same phallic
image has been passed down through history to us today. Its name is the
obelisk, which even a small child should have seen many times. Gross darkness
are the deceptions of Satan! The obelisk, the sacred phallic symbol of Osiris
(Nimrod), is now standing in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, with a cross
erected on top of its pyramid. And it's also standing 555 feet high in
Washington, DC. And this is the origin of the church steeple!It was not by
chance that the Pentagram (5 pointed star) was chosen to represent states in
the American Flag. It was not by chance that the Pentagon is shaped after the
center of the Pentagram that Witches and Warlocks get in the center of to cast
their spells. It was not by chance that crimson, white and blue, three of the
four colors of Witchcraft, were chosen to become the colors of the flag. It
was not by chance that the Eagle (the ancient symbol of Lucifer) was chosen to
become a symbol of the United States.Washington, Jackson, Monroe, Polk, Andrew
Johnson, Garfield, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Harding, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Truman and Ford were all Freemasons. President Harding was only a
1st Degree Mason in his hometown Lodge. But when he was elected President, he
quickly advanced from 1st to 32nd Dregree. Harry Truman once served as Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Eisenhower and Kennedy were not Masons,
but L.B. Johnson took the 1st Degree in a Lodge in Texas, though he did not
continue [49]. Gerald Ford is a high ranking Mason today.
Other
well known personalities in America who have been members of a Masonic Lodge
were John Jacob Astor, Irving Berlin, Luther Burbank, Henry Clay, Thomas E.
Dewey, Henry Ford, Barry Goldwater, Samuel Compers, J. Edgar Hoover, Charles
Lindbergh, General Douglas McArthur, Andrew Mellon, General John J. Pershing,
Will Rogers, Sigmund Romberg, John Philip Sousa, Mark Twain, and Chief Justice
Earl Warren, who by the way investigated the mysterious death of Kennedy which
still remains mysterious.
It
would not be unusual in any single year for the majority of state Governors,
United States Senators, and Representatives to be members of Freemasonry [50].
However, it is quite evident that most of these loyal Americans were not aware
of the real satanic character of their fraternities. What our founding fathers
designed to protect American citizens from both governmental and religious
tyranny was, and is still today, a shield against any religion using
legislation to force its beliefs on others, as did the papacy during the
Middle Ages.
America,
during the brutal Inquisitions, was still a wilderness and became a haven for
Bible-believing Christians. This wilderness land that was later to be called
the United States hid God's Bible-believing people from the persecuting power
of the Dragon, which in Prophecy is a symbol of Satan and Satan's religion.
The Roman Catholic Church was a false religious system that caused the
Protestants to flee from the Old European countries, to come to America. This
was foretold in Revelation 12:14:"And to the woman were given two wings
of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face
of the serpent."In the next chapter we will study in detail how the
papacy for 1260 years, as foretold, cast the Truth to the ground. And in this
next chapter we will see how the Bible foretold Communism and how Communism,
like Freemasonry, derived out of Spiritualism.

"The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his
angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the
testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."Blessed is he
that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to
the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For
without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the
bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is
athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of this prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words
of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this
book." Revelation 1:1-4; 22:12-19.
Of
all the books of the Bible, the book of Revelation is the one in which our
Lord Jesus promises a blessing upon those who take the time to read it,
understand it and obey the truths found in it. This book is a Testimony from
Christ Himself, not from the Apostle John. The Apostle John was only the
faithful penman who wrote down these things for Jesus to give us hope,
instruction in righteousness, and to unmask Satan's deceiving schemes in the
human affairs of this world. All through the Bible you will read, in the
beginning of the first chapter of each book, the name of the faithful writer
who wrote the book under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, such as the book
of Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or the Gospels. However, Jesus, speaking about the
book of Revelation, says: "The Revelation of JESUS CHRIST" Most of
the prophecies of this ancient book, written about 95 AD, have already come to
pass. In this volume, we will only study the prophecies that concern us today.
We will learn about the three great powers that Lucifer will use to cause the
whole world to unite in our day, under one banner. These three great powers we
will learn about from the prophecies are the Roman Catholic Church, The
Illuminati, and American Protestantism. It will be these three powers that
will bring Lucifer's great Conspiracy to its final stage.To begin this study,
we must turn to Revelation Chapter 17, and study it in detail. Here is the
Prophecy:"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven
vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee
the iudgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the
kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the
earth have been mode drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me
away in the spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a
name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. AND I SAW THE WOMAN DRUNKEN WITH THE BLOOD OF THE
SAINTS, AND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS OF JESUS: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst
thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, AND OF THE BEAST THAT
CARRIED HER, WHICH HATH THE SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS. The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go
into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names
were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when
they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is a mind
which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other
is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the
beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which
have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the
beest. These have one mind, and shall give their power unto the beast. These
SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB AND THE LAMB SHALL OVERCOME THEM: FOR HE IS LORD
OF LORDS, AND KING OF KINGS: AND THEY THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED, AND
CHOSEN, AND FAITHFUL. AND HE SAITH UNTO ME, THE WATERS WHICH THOU SAWEST,
WHERE THE WHORE SITTETH, ARE PEOPLES, AND MULTITUDES, AND TONGUES. AND THE TEN
HORNS WHICH THOU SAWEST UPON THE BEAST THESE SHALL HATE THE WHORE, AND SHALL
MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED, AND SHALL EAT HER FLESH, AND BURN HER WITH FIRE.
FOR GOD HATH PUT IT IN THEIR HEARTS TO FULFIL HIS WILL, AND TO AGREE, AND GIVE
THEIR KINGDOM UNTO THE BEAST UNTIL THE WORDS OF GOD SHALL BE FULFILLED. AND
THE WOMAN WHICH THOU SAWEST IS THAT GREAT CITY WHICH REIGNETH OVER THE KINGS
OF THE EARTH."
Now,
let's back up and read a few verses at a time and search the Scriptures for
the interpretation. Verses 1-5 picture a lewd woman with whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornication and she also has made the other inhabitants
of the earth drunk with the wine of her fornication. This woman was seen in
vision as sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns. The lewd woman was also arrayed in purple and scarlet
colour, decked with gold and precious stones, pearls, having a golden cup in
her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. And on her
forehead was a name written - MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The
Scriptures themselves will show that this is not a real woman here described,
but a symbol of the astrological religion of Sun worship that we have been
studying about. However, there is somewhat of a parallel between this prophecy
of this lewd woman and the real life of Semiramis who was the wife of Ninus
(Nimrod). It was Semiramis who in history was worshipped in Egypt as Isis, or
to the Babylonians as Ishtar, or to the Israelites as Ashtaroth, or in India
Isi, or in Rome Cybele, or in Mexico Coatlicue, All the crafts of the occult
can be traced back to this evil family of Cush (Hermes), Nimrod (Baal) and
Semiramis (Ishtar). As Scripture states, Nimrod was the son of Cush who was
the son of Ham, who was the son of Noah. Genesis 10:6,8.
Now,
in the legends of Nimrod, who was Ninus to the Assyrians, it is stated by
ancient historians that Ninus, the husband of Semiramis [1], was killed as we
have already seen, by a rival god, and cut into several pieces. Both the
Babylonian god Tammuz and the Egyptian god Osiris were worshipped as the
personification of the Sun-god. And, according to their legends, were killed
by a rival god. In the Babylonian version, Tammuz was killed by a
"certain king" for trying to introduce the religion of Astrology.
Who could this "certain king" be that killed this ringleader of
apostasy? Who opposed the worship of the God of Noah and Shem? Hislop says
these legends of Tammuz' and Osiris' deaths can be traced through history to
Nimrod and Shem, Shem is the Biblical lineage from which Christ was born and
Shem in the Egyptian myth was the rival god named Set or Seth or Typhon [2],
who was worshipped as the god Shom by the people of India [3].
So
you see, all the legends of the Sun-gods can be traced back to the Babylonian
religions. Hence, Bacchus to the Phoenicians, Hercules to the Assyrians,
Dionysus to the Grecians, Attis to the Romans, Krishna to the Indians of
India, Quetzalcoatl to the Mexicans, Balder to the Scandinavians, Pan-ku to
the Chinese and Pan to both the ancient and modern Witchcraft cults, are just
photocopies of Nimrod as we have already stated many times.The various
goddesses throughout the world also derived out of the legends of the first
goddess, Semiramis, who was the wife of Ninus (Nimrod). It was Semiramis (Ishtar
to the Babylonians), who was a witch herself, that established the Rite of
Sacred Prostitution that witches today call "The Great Rite."
Semiramis was worshipped as the Great Mother Goddess, the Queen of Heaven, the
goddess of all impurity, the goddess of Love and Sex, and also of War, and as
Athena, the goddess of Wisdom. It appears that it is this version of the Greek
goddess who is standing on top of the rotunda of the Capitol of the United
States. Another tradition in Greece has this pagan goddess as Aphrodite, the
goddess of exciting sexual desires.
During
the French Revolution, which we will study later, the revolutionaries banned
all Christianity and burned Bibles. The worship of God was forbidden and the
Jacobin Clubs had legislated within the laws of their new government that the
Christian God of the Bible was a false god. In place of the Bible and the
worship of Jesus they exalted this same goddess who was also known as the
goddess of Reason and of Liberty. This same goddess is standing in New York
Harbor as a gift from France.Now, in Revelation 17:2, we read the following:
"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her
fornication." What is the interpretation according to the Bible the
meaning behind "wine of her fornication?" Turn in your Bibles to
Ezekiel the sixteenth chapter and we will learn the interpretation thereof. In
Ezekiel 16:1-14 the Lord symbolically describes his chosen people as an
unwanted baby, on whom the Lord took pity and raised up into a beautiful,
prosperous kingdom. However, when the Israelites turned their backs on the
Lord and turned to idolatry, the Lord called Israel a "harlot."
"But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the HARLOT
because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy FORNICATIONS on every one that
passed by; his it was." Ezekiel 16:15.
Before
the Israelites went into the Promised Land, the Lord told Moses to instruct
them: "I am the Lord your God. After the doings of the land of Egypt,
wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan,
whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their
ordinances." Leviticus 18:2,3.However, anyone who has ever read the Old
Testament has learned that the Israelites mingled with the people of Canaan
and learned their customs. They took the heathen customs and mingled them with
the sacred things of God. Even before they entered into the land of Canaan,
when Moses went up Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments, the Israelites
fell into idolatry [3]. This may also be seen when Joshua died, Judges 2:8-10.
After Joshua died, we read in Judges 2:11-14 the following: "And the
children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim. And
they forsook the Lord God of their Fathers, which brought them out of the land
of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round
about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. And the anger of the
Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers
that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round
about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies."
The
problem of the pagan influences penetrating into the ranks of Israel was
because the leaders of Israel allowed pagan customs, little by little, to
creep in among the sacred things of God. In Ezekiel 22:26 we read: "Her
priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have
put no difference between the holy and profaned, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my
Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."It was the mingling of pagan
philosophies within the sacred ordinances and commandments of our Lord that
led Israel to finally abandon the worship of the True God, and bow down and
worship images that were symbols of the cosmic gods of Astrology. And so is it
today. The whole world has been intoxicated with "the wine of her
fornication" which means, deceived by the seducing religion and doctrines
of the astrological religion of Sun-worship.You might ask how that could be.
Well, in the book Beware Its Coming - The Antichrist 666, published by W.F.G.
Inc., we read:
"In
the legend of the Tauric Goddess Diana, it is said that every stranger who
landed on her shore was sacrificed on her altar. Have you ever wondered what
the Christmas Tree has to do with the Birth of Christ? Or the ornaments you
place on the tree, or the meaning of the word, 'YULETIDE?' Or where the
tradition of the mistletoe came from and how it became a symbol of Christmas?
Reader, they have nothing whatsoever to do with the birth of Jesus, but are
some of the traditions observed to honor the birth of pagan godchild Tammuz.
There is no Scriptural evidence that supports the Birth of Christ as being
December 25th; but history says December 25th was kept thousands of years
before the Birth of Christ, in honor of the pagan Messiah. Another name for
Tammuz, the pagan god-child, was 'Baal-bereth,' which means: 'Lord of the
Fir-Tree.'
"The
Sun-god, the Mother goddess, and her son, according to Babylonian mythology
were mystically changed into trees. This is the origin of burning the Yule
Log. Nimrod deified as the Sungod was symbolized by a big fir tree stripped of
all its branches and cut almost to the ground. But the great serpent which
symbolized the life restorer, whose name is Aesculapius, twists itself around
the dead stock and lo, at its side a young tree - a tree of an entirely
different kind, which is destined never to be cut down by hostile power; even
the palm tree, the well known symbol of victory. People of Aryan stock who
believed that the oak tree was a symbol of Zeus or Jupiter, believed that this
Branch was of Mistletoe which grew on the oak tree, and to be kissed under the
mistletoe would insure fertility. The Branch was a name given to the Christ,
Isaiah 11:1 - 'AND THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE, AND
A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS.'
"Now
take the word 'Yuletide.' The word yule is as Babylonian as Tammuz. The word
yule is the Chaldee word for infant or little child, and the 25th of December
was called by the pagan Anglo-Saxons,'Yule-day,' or Child's Day. The pagan
Egyptians, and the Persians both observed the 25th of December as the birthday
of their god.
"In
Germanic Mythology, they too, had a supreme god to whom they gave sacrifice.
These warlike people promised their god, whose name was TIWAZ, that if he
would give them victory over their enemy, they would give to their god all the
spoils of the battle. Like the Babylonians, they believed their gods could
transform themselves into trees. If the god answered their prayers, they took
their dead victims along with the spoils of war, and dragged them to their
sacred grove, and there hung them on their sacred trees. Such offerings have
been recovered from the bogs in Germany. This beget the origin of hanging
ornaments from the Christmas Tree."Little sheep of the Lord's pasture, it
is impossible to ignore the pagan Festival of Christmas. The World is
commemorating the Birth of Christ, not Tammuz. There is an advantage during
the Christmas season to preach the real Jesus of the Bible. However, we should
keep ourselves from the vanities of the pagan Festival, not to mention the
cost, and the deaths caused by lighted Christmas Trees."There is,
however, an opportunity during the Christmas Season with its beautiful music,
to make others aware that Christ is no longer a helpless babe in a manger, but
is the Saviour of the world, the King of kings, Lord of lords. Many who think
the Bible and its message is foolishness can be reached during the Christmas
Season where it would be almost impossible to talk to them at another time.
Even the Christmas Tree can be used to teach the children a great lesson. The
children should be taught that it is a historical fact that placing bulbs,
tinsel, and lights on a Christmas Tree is pure pagan heathenism."This
pagan custom got its start from killing enemies and hanging their heads and
their spoils from pagan sacred trees. It would not be a sin if an evergreen
tree was set up in the church during the Christmas Season if it was done to be
an object lesson. If the parents would take the money they spend each year on
Christmas trees, bulbs, lights, and expensive presents, and give the money as
an offering to advance the preaching of the Gospel, would not the Lord be
pleased with such a self-sacrifice?"
There
are more shocking facts about pagan customs that have been adopted into
Christianity that will be revealed as we continue. In the book of Job, we
read: "If I beheld the Sun when it shined, or the moon walking in
brightness; And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed
my hand: This also were an iniquity to be punished by the Judge: For I should
have denied the God that is above." Job 31:26-28.Hence, the symbolic
interpretation applied to this Harlot found in Revelation 17:5 (Mystery,
Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots) is Satan's great religious system
with its many various sects, that taught the world to obey the precepts of the
astrological worship of the Sun, Moon, and the Stars.The Bible says in I
Corinthians 10:11,12: "Now all these things happened unto them for
ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the
world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall." The records of the history of Israel are types that will repeat
themselves until Christ comes. We are warned in the Bible to take heed to
Israel's fall, lest we fall. It appears from Scriptures that Israel adopted
all the main versions of the Babylonian idolatry in her apostasy. "Thou
has also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of the
flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. Behold,
therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine
ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the
daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. Thou hast
played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable: Yea,
thou hast played the unsatiable: Yea, thou hast played the HARLOT with them
and yet couldest not be satisfied. Thou hast moreover multiplied thy
fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea, and yet thou was not satisfied
herewith." Ezekiel 16:26, 28.
Now
it is time to see from Scripture what the symbol of the Beast from the
Bottomless Pit means that is carrying this Mother of Harlots. A Beast in
prophecy is a symbol of a "political power" or "kingdom"
as it clearly shows in Daniel 7:1-8, 17-25. Daniel saw four great beasts and
the angel said: "These great beasts, which are four, ARE FOUR KINGS which
shall arise out of the Earth." Daniel 7:17.As the Scriptures reveal, the
symbolic beasts here represent four pagan nations that would arise in sequence
taking dominion, or ruling over the whole known world at that time. These
kings were recorded in history as:1.Babylonian Empire 605 BC to 539 BC, the
Lion. 2.Medo-Persian Empire, 538 BC to 331 BC, the Bear. 3.Grecian Empire 331
BC to 168 BC, the Leopard, 4.Roman Empire 168 BC to 476 AD, the Dragon. When
Rome fell in 476 AD, it was to have Ten Nations that would arise out of its
ruins. "Thus he said, The fourth beast (Rome) shall be the FOURTH KINGDOM
upon earth which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the
whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the Ten
Horns out of this kingdom are TEN KINGS that shall arise; and another shall
rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue
three kings." Daniel 7:23,24.These Ten Nations are also recorded history
now as the prophecy of Daniel predicted hundreds of years, earlier. They were
the following:
1.Angle-Saxons
2.Franks 3.Alemanni 4.Lombards 5.0strogoths 6.Visigoths 7.Burgundians
8.Vandals 9.Suevi 10.Heruli.
After
these Ten Nations would become history, Daniel the Prophet foretold another
Little Horn (Nation) was to come up among these Ten Nations and would war with
them and would actually destroy three of the Ten Nations. They would be rooted
out of that area called Europe today. And, this is precisely what happened.
This Little Horn (Nation) destroyed the nations of the Heruli in 493 AD, the
Vandals in 534 AD, and the last of the three, the Ostrogoths, lost their last
battle with this Little Horn (Nation) in 538 AD and were eventually driven out
of Italy by 554 AD. However, it was in 538 AD that paved the way for this
little Nation to take dominion of that area that would become Europe. In
Daniel 7:8 we read about this little horn: "I considered the horns and
behold, there came up among them another LITTLE HORN, before whom there were
THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS: and, Behold, in this horn
were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." It is
a historical fact that the Roman Catholic Church destroyed the nations of the
Heruli, Vandals, and the Ostrogoths. Although it was not the Papacy who
actually did the fighting, it was the Papacy who hired mercenaries to destroy
them. For more facts about the history of the prophecy of Daniel the 7th
Chapter, may we suggest you order a copy of Beware It's Coming - The
Antichrist 666 from our catalogue which is found in the back of this book.
Now
in Daniel 7:25 it lists four things that the Little Horn (Papacy) was
predicted in prophecy to do after destroying the Heruli, Vandals and the
Ostrogoths. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and
shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time, times and the
dividing of time."To see how the Papacy has fulfilled the first
prediction Daniel described here in 7:25, all one has to do is to pick up a
local newspaper and read the words the Papacy speaks when they exalt their
present Pope. He is hailed as the Vicar of God, Christ in the Flesh. Is this
not blasphemy? All one needs to do to see how the Papacy would wear out the
saints of the most high, is to pick up an encyclopedia and read about the
inquisitions during the Medieval Age. One had merely to be accused of heresy
against papal doctrine or authority, and this was enough to burn at the stake.
It was the Papacy, not Christ, or His Apostles that changed the original day
of worship, the Seventh Day, into the holy day of the Sun-god called today
Sunday, the first day of the week. We will study this change in more detail
later on.Now coming back to the last part of Daniel's prophecy of the Papacy
as the Little Horn, Daniel said the Little Horn would continue "until a
time, times and the dividing of time." To figure the amount of time the
Papacy would commit blasphemy against the Most High, to wear out the saints of
the Most High, and would think to change times and laws, we need to read
Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6: "After the number of the days in which ye
searched the land, even forty days, EACH DAY FOR A YEAR, shall ye bear your
iniquities, EVEN FORTY YEARS, and ye shall know my breach of promise."In
Jewish prophecy a day is counted as a year, as shown above. Now in Daniel
7:25, the religious dictatorship of the Papacy was to be for a "time,
times and the dividing of time." A time in Jewish prophecy represents 360
days of the Jewish calendar. So a day in prophecy equals also one year
(Ezekiel 4:6), and since a time equals 360 days in one Jewish year, Times
would be two years or 720 days. Dividing of time equals half a year, or half
of 360 days, which would be 180 days. Now in Jewish prophecy a day is also
counted as one year as in Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34.
Here
is a better way of explaining this:
TIME
= 360 days or one year in prochecy
TIMES
= 720 days or two years in prophecy
1/2
TIME = 180 days or 1/2 year in prophecy
TIME=360
TIMES=720 1/2 TIME=180 with a total of 3.1/2 YEARS = 1260
The
starting point for the time, times, and the dividing of time, or the 1260
years of the Papal Religious Dictatorship would be when the last of the Three
Kingdoms was destroyed. This Last Kingdom was the Ostrogoths. The decisive
battle between the papal forces and the Ostrogoths was in 538 AD. It was then
that the Papacy began to claim they were the "Corrector of
Heretics"; hence, this began the tyrannical religious dictatorship of the
Roman Catholic Church [5].It was not until the year 1798 AD, that the Papacy
completely lost control to dictate its authority to the world. General
Berthier from France, during the Napoleonic Wars, was sent to the Vatican in
1798 to seize Pope Plus VI, and he was dethroned and banished into exile where
he later died."From the year 538 AD to 1798 AD is actually 1260 years, as
the prophecy of Daniel predicted. Here is a diagram of the complete prophecy
of Daniel the 7th chapter. The diagram covers a complete picture of the
kingdoms of the world that were foretold from Babylon's 605 BC takeover of the
known world, down through the centuries to the time when Pope plus IV was
dethroned.

Papacy
605-539

538 - 1798 AD
Now
that we have learned what a beast is symbolic of in Scripture, let us again
examine the 17th chapter of Revelation. As stated before, Babylon the Great
represents ALL religions that teach Babylonlan doctrines derived from the
astrological worship of the Sun-god. This covers all the pagan religions and
ALL Christian churches that have mingled heathenism with the sacred things of
God. "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye
cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils."
1.Corinthians 10:21.Now it's time to look at the Beast that ascends out of the
Bottomless Pit, that the false religious systems of the World are riding on.
In Revelation 17:7-18, we read the following: "And the angel said unto
me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation
of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And
here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one
is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a
short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth and is
of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest
are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as
kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast. THESE SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB, and the LAMB
SHALL OVEACOME THEM: FOR HE IS LORD OF LORDS, AND KING OF KINGS: AND THEY THAT
ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED, AND FAITHFUL. And he said unto me, The waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and
nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked and shall
eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to
fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until
the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth." This prophecy,
symbolizing a confederacy of false religious systems and political powers
uniting against Jesus (the Lamb), and His people, is for us who live in these
closing days of this world's history. The Key that unlocks this prophecy and
shows who this beast is that ascends out of the Bottomless Pit, and when it
makes its appearance, is in Revelation the 11th chapter. We will compare
prophecies of Revelation the 11th chapter with Revelation the 17th chapter.
In
Revelation the 11th chapter we read the following: "And there was given
me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the
temple of God, and the altar and them that worship therein. But the court
which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not: for it is given
unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two
months. And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the
two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and
devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner
be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of
their prophecy: and have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to
smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of
the Bottomless Pit SHALL MAKE WAR AGAINST THEM, AND SHALL OVERCOME THEM, AND
KILL THEM. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall
see their dead bodies THREE DAYS AND AN HALF: and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice
over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these
two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after THREE DAYS AND
AN HALF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE from God entered into them, and they stood upon
their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a
great Voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up
to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was
there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted,
and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; and behold, the
third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE NOW BECOME THE
KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon
their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and was, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee
thy great power, and hast reigned. And the notions were angry, and thy wrath
is come and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY THEM WHICH
DESTROY THE EARTH. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was
seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and
voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
This
prophecy will take us from the time the Papacy began to lose its controlling
power to dictate to the world until the Second Coming of Jesus. In Revelation
11:1-5, it says: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the
angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and
they that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave
out, and measure it not: for it is given unto the Gentiles and the holy city
shall they tread under foot FORTY AND TWO MONTHS. And I will give power unto
my TWO WITNESSES, AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND
THREESCORE DAYS CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH. These are the TWO OLIVE TREES, and the
TWO CANDLESTICKS standing before God of earth. And if any man will hurt them,
fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies: And if any man
will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." Again we see this time
period of 1260 days, which in prophecy represents 1260 years (Numbers 14:24;
Ezekiel 4:6). The periods of 1260 days and 42 months are the same. The ancient
Jewish calendar has 360 days in a year and 30 days in a month. Forty two
months equals 1260 days (years in Bible prophecy).
42
months x 30 days = 1260 years
This
prophecy is the same time period we studied in Daniel 7:25, the time, times
and dividing of time, that the Papacy was foretold to "speak greet words
against the Most High, wear out the saints of the Most High, think to change
times and laws." This time period, as we examined, started in the year
538 AD and reached up through the centuries until 1798 AD when the French army
seized Pope Plus VI, and sent him into exile where he died. Even though
another Pope was reinstated soon afterwards, the Papacy lost its control to
run the affairs of the world.
During
this time of papal persecution the Holy Scriptures were kept from the ordinary
people. The Papacy claimed only priests could interpret the Scriptures, and
when the Scriptures were read it was usually given in Latin, which the great
masses didn't understand. The suppression of the Holy Scriptures by the Papacy
was also foretold in the symbols of the two witnesses, who were also
symbolized as two olive trees, or two candlesticks. "...and I will give
power unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy a THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
AND THREESCORE DAYS (1260 years) clothed in sackcloth. These are the TWO
TREES, AND THE TWO CANDLESTICKS STANDING BEFORE GOD of the earth."
Revelation 11:3.4.
The
most popular opinion found among the Doctors of Theology is that the two
witnesses are two prophets that shall come during the Great Tribulation
Period, while some say that this prophecy of the two witnesses has a two-fold
meaning. However, the Scriptures and recorded history show that the prophecy
about the two witnesses has indeed come to pass.Jesus our Lord said: "And
this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a WITNESS
UNTO ALL NATIONS and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14. The Gospel
taught from the Scriptures was to be a witness to all nations about the loving
and saving power of Jesus Christ. It gives its hearers correction in right
doing. It gives its believers hope for the future, and the promise of
forgiveness for past sins through the sacrifice of Christ's death. "And
that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the Devil, who are taken
captive by him at his will." 2.Timothy 2:26. However, when the Roman
Catholic Church became a religious dictatorship, the Scriptures were hidden
from the vast population, and catechism was substituted instead of Bible
study. The Gospel of the Bible became mingled with the pagan philosophies of
Sun worship. The worship of the pagan Mother goddess became the idol of the
Roman Catholic Church through the worship of the Virgin Mary.' When the Gospel
became perverted through Romanism, God always had a remnant people who were
teaching the True Faith during the 1260 years the Papacy cast the Truth to the
ground. These faithful followers of Jesus were hunted down by papal
authorities as heretics and criminals.
They
were tortured on the rack, burned at the stake; and it mattered not what age
or sex, they were butchered in the name of Heaven.When those faithful servants
who proclaimed the sacred truths from the Old and New Testaments were
tortured, murdered, thrown in dungeons and had to flee for their lives from
the papal Inquisitors, the True Faith was forced to go underground. The Gospel
set forth in the Old and New Testament that had to be preached into all the
world for a witness to all nations before Christ would come again, was forced
into a state of obscurity. This is what is meant by Revelation 11:3, "And
they shall prophesy a THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS CLOTHED IN
SACKCLOTH."Sackcloth was worn by the Israelites in times of trouble and
grief. (2.Samuel 3:31, 1.Chronicles 21:15, 16; Isaiah 37:1). The sackcloth
here mentioned in Revelation 11:3 was to mourn the supression of the Old and
New Testament by the papal authorities during the 1260 years. The two
witnesses, the two olive trees, or the two candlesticks represented the light
the Scripture gives its reader.
The
Olive Tree was the Israelites' source of oil to anoint their kings and
priests. Oil has often, in Biblical language, been a symbol of the Holy
Spirit. See Zechariah 4:1-14. The Candlestick represents the illumination a
searcher of Truth receives in the heart when he makes the Word of God his
standard to measure Truth to live by. "Thy word is a LAMP unto my feet,
and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105."All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2.Timothy 3:16
"And
if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouths, and devoureth
their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be
killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their
prophecy. And have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the
earth with all plagues, as often as they will." Revelation 11:5,6.This
prophecy is a parallel with that of Jesus in Revelation 22:18,19. "For I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of this prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this
book."This will be the fate of ALL those who tamper with the sacred
Scripture. These warnings were given by God to warn men against changing or
adding to anything written in the Holy Scriptures. The Scriptures reveal God's
plan for man from the beginning of creation until Christ's Second Coming, and
also how he will provide for man after this Age. The Scriptures were given for
man as a guide throughout his life to lead him through the gates of the New
Jerusalem where he will dwell with God himself. (Revelation 21:1-4).
"And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of
the Bottomless Pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them, and
kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city,
which SPIRITUALLY is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified." Revelation 11:7.This beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit is often confused with the Papacy, but this is not a prophecy
of the Papacy since this prophecy starts near the end of the 1260 years. For
1260 years the Papacy did exactly what was foretold in Daniel 7:8, 23-25.
However, the Papacy never made war on the Scriptures, she just locked them up
in an unknown tongue.This Beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit is
another political power that was to take the place of the Papacy in France,
that Satan would use to try to destroy the word of God. Ellen G. White in her
multimillion seller, The Great Controversy, says that this beast that
ascendeth out of the bottomless pit is not the Papacy, but ANOTHER NEW
manifestation of satanic power:"The period when the two witnesses were to
prophesy clothed in sackcloth, ended in 1798. As they were approaching the
termination of their work in obscurity, war was to be made upon them by the
power represented as 'the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit.' In
many of the nations of Europe the powers that ruled in church and state had
for centuries been controled by Satan through the medium of the papacy. But
here is brought to view a new manifestation of satanic power." Ellen
White goes on to say:"According to the words of the prophet, then, a
little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would
rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God's
two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of
the Pharoah and the licentiousness of Sodom.
"This
prophecy has received a most exact and striking fulfillment in the history of
France. During the Revolution, in 1793, 'the world for the first time heard an
assembly of men, born and educated in civilization, and assuming the right to
govern one of the finest of the European nations, uplift their united voice to
deny the most solemn truth which man's soul receives, and renounce unanimously
the belief and worship of a Deity." The Great Controversy, White, Pacific
Press Publishing, 1939, pp. 239, 240. The beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit is the santanic force that caused the French Revolution and the
overthrow of papal christianity shortly before the Papacy lost Pope Plus VI as
its religious dictator. It is extremely important that the reader have some
knowledge of the French Revolution to unmask this same satanic force working
now in our time that will eventually involve the whole world.This Secret
Revolutionary Force that had its beginnings in the French Revolution is just
another tool Lucifer has, and is using to further his plan to establish his
eventual total Rule in this world. This Secret Revolutionary Force is
predicted by Scripture to unite with the Mother of Harlots, which is a symbol
of the Roman Catholic Church, Apostate Protestantism, and all other religious
movements that teach Babylonian Illuminism, or Spirtualism. This Confederacy
between the false religions and the political powers of this world is just
history repeating itself. It is another attempt to unite man under one banner
leaving the Lord out, as it was in the days of Nimrod.
We
need to look inside the history of the French Revolution and study the
subversive groups that actually caused the Revolt. History books tell us that
the French Revolution first began in 1787 or 1789 [8] depending on which book
you read. However, it was actually planned by Dr. Adam Weishaupt and the House
of Rothschild almost 20 years before the Revolution took place.Dr. Adam
Weishaupt produced the blue print for it, while the House of Rothschild
provided the money. This Apostle of Lucifer, Adam Weishaupt was born a Jew,
converted to Catholicism, then turned to Witchcraft, where he became an
expert, and founded another sect of the Illuminati. This sect of illuminati
was founded May 1st, 1776 [9]. Like Freemasonry, the Illuminati is a
Luciferian movement to preserve and promote the ancient Black Arts of
Babylonian and Druid Witchcraft. Its goals are to destroy Christianity and all
world governments, and then unite them under a one world government whose
ruler is Lucifer.
In
the Bible, our Lord chose a priestly Order of Israelites to preserve the
sacred things of God. In the Old Testament they were known as the Levites
Numbers 1:47, 54. The whole Nation of Israel was to be a nation of priests,
but because of her idolatry, our Lord only chose the children of Levi [10].The
Levites were in charge of the tabernacle of God and all that pertained to it.
No one was allowed to set-up, move, or perform any service of the tabernacle,
but the Levites. Those who even touched the Ark of the Covenant, other than a
Levite, would suffer death.Like the Levite had his ministry for the chosen
people, so had the Prophets of God. If any man claimed to be sent from God and
predicted things to come, but they didn't happen, this was to be a sign to the
Israelites that this man was not of God, and they were to kill him for
deceiving the people. Just as God foretold the future and worked miracles
among His people, so does Lucifer have his system of counterfeiting the power
of God. And, just as God chose a people that would preserve and promote His
Mystery of Godliness (1.Timothy 3:16), so has Lucifer chosen a people that
would preserve and promote his Mystery of Iniquity (2.Thessalonians 2:7).
One
such priestly order that preserved the ancient Black Arts of Witchcraft was
the Druids. There are modern day Orders of this system of Witchcraft. As the
Levites and Prophets were to Israel, so were the Druids to the Celtic peoples.
The Celts believed that they were a supernatural people from outer space, and
their magical powers were to be preserved through their descendants through
the centuries. Much modern English and American Witchcraft is modeled from the
pagan religious rites and magic of the Druids, who borrowed their crafts from
the Egyptian Sun worship, which came from the Babylonians and Assyrians.
Sacrifices were prominent in Celtic ritual; human and animal sacrifices look
place at their sacred festivals. The Druids held a dominant position in Celtic
society for it was they who invoked the magical powers to ensure prosperity
and success. Like the American Indian Witchdoctor, the Druids often fell into
trances in order to forecast events."
The
modern fraternities of Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Golden Dawn, Wicca, Church
of America, Gardinarian Brotherhood, Church of All Worlds, and Process Church
of the Final Judgment (of which Charles Manson was a member), are only a few
of the multitudes of Witchcraft groups operating today behind the public eye,
preserving and promoting ancient Witchcraft.However, it was this Witchcraft
school called the illuminati of Bavaria that was predicted to make open,
avowed war on the Bible through the "political world." This world
power, symbolized as the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit, was
predicted to destroy the Bible (Two Witnesses) in the street of a city that is
called (spiritually) Sodom and Egypt, "where also our Lord was
crucified." Revelation 11:7.8.This is not Jerusalem, as it has often been
interpreted, but Paris, France. During the end of papal supremacy in the
1700's, Adam Weishaupt began to write down his plans to destroy all
governments and religions. Atheism was to be used as a tool to destroy the
Roman Catholic Church which then was the controlling power in Europe. Adam
Weishaupt's revolutionary force was first launched under the name of the
Perfectibilists (Gesellschaft der Perfectibilisten), which posed as a
political movement to destroy tyranny and ignorance, and further the cause of
Reason, Freedom and moral virtue [12 ].Adam Weishaupt was a professor of Canon
Law at Ingolstadt, and he also was an ex-Jesuit priest. Posing at first as a
religious reformer and a liberal in politics, he attracted many to his
political movement, which was also known as Republicanism [13]. He adopted the
Jesuits' system of espionage [14], introduced Witchcraft to his followers, and
developed a fraternity within his political movement that was akin to
Freemasonry. After he formed his organization, with financial backing from the
House of Rothschild [15], he adopted the name Illuminati.
They
also became known as "Free Thinkers," "The Enlightened
Ones," or "The Enlightenment," names given before Weishaupt's
time to the 17th century French writers with an atheistic, anti-Christian
slant [16]. In Germany, before May 1st, 1776, they were the German
Rationalists, or Humanists, They, too, promoted Atheism and openly attacked
Christianity and all religions as false, foolish and weird [17]. Adam
Weishaupt taught his disciples that the illuminati are the only members of the
human race who are truly enlightened and know "what it's all about."
Weishaupt had his followers believing that they were to be the cream of the
intelligentsia, or the only people with the mental capacity, the knowledge,
the insight and understanding necessary to govern the world and bring peace
[18]. However, only a few of his chosen members actually know Weishaupt
personally, and he was regarded by those who had not seen him almost as a god
[19].
Gerald
B. Winrod, D.D., in his booklet, "Communism Prophecy History
America," compiled documentive proof of how Adam Weishaupt cleverly
concealed his identity and became the most powerful figure of his day. Winrod
explains how Weishaupt set in motion forces that actually destroyed millions
of lives, and left his mark of evil to be felt in all future generations
without even being heard of by most people. Winrod on page 45 of his book
quotes from a letter that Adam Weishaupt wrote to an
intimate
friend:
"My
circumstances necessitate that I should remain hidden from most of the members
as long as I live. I am obliged to do everything through five or six
persons." On another occasion he said: "...one must show how easy it
would be for one clever head to direct hundreds of thousands of men."
Again he wrote: "I have two immediately below me into which I breathe my
whole spirit, and each of these two has again two others, and so on. In this
way I can set a thousand men in motion and on fire in the simplest manner, and
in this way one must impart orders and operate on politics." Weishaupt
recruited into his ranks as many young men of wealth and position as possible.
Within four or five years Weishaupt's Illuminati became very powerful and even
had his members directing the affairs of Germany. Weishaupt's goal was to hide
the sciences of Witchcraft behind philanthropy, destroy Christianity with
humanism (atheism), then set up a One World Government.In Des Griffin's book,
Fourth Reich of the Rich, he shows the outline plan of Weishaupt's World
Revolution that he hoped to produce by these following statements:1. Abolition
of all ordered Governments 2. Abolition of Private Property 3. Abolition of
all Inheritance 4. Abolition of Patriotism 5. Abolition of all Religion 6.
Abolition of the Family 7. Creation of a World Government [20].
Weishaupt,
who was only 28 when he founded the Order of the Illuminati on May 1st, 1776,
did not make much progress until he met a high ranking Freemason named Baron
Von Knigge. Von Knigge was not only a high ranking Freemason, but he also had
been admitted as a Master of most of the Secret Societies of his day. Von
Knigge was, like Weishaupt and all Masters of these Secret Societies, an
expert occultist."To spread his Order and give the Illuminati higher
influence in the world, and because Freemasonry is akin to Illuminism,
Weishaupt connected with the Masonic Institution. He was initiated in 1777
into Freemasonry in a Lodge at Munich [22] that he planned to use to promote
his world revolutionary ideas. Baron Von Knigge joined Weishaupt's Order in
1780 [23], and soon became a leader, dividing with Adam Weishaupt the control
and direction of the Order. All initiates of the Illuminati were required to
take an oath to secrecy and bind themselves to perpetual silence, unshakable
loyalty, and submission to the Order. Like Freemasonry, only a few top men
within their organization actually understood their true goals. The world
accepts Freemasonry as a Great Benevolent Society, teaching the highest
possible degree of morality and virtue. Since Freemasonry enjoyed prestige and
honour, Adam Weishaupt and Baron Von Knigge planned a world take-over by using
the Fraternal Order of Freemasonry. Their plan was to penetrate into the high
levels of the Order, then take control in directing the affairs of the nations
into an eventual One World Government. However, since papal Christianity was
both Church and State, and had been the dominating power that Satan used to
control the affairs of the world in Weishaupt's time, Satan was making ready
an even worse satanical influence that would gradually unite all paganism,
false Christianity and all governments of the world, under one banner.
Weishaupt's
first step was, however, to get control of the International Order of
Freemasonry. In order to gain control of the Order of Freemasonry, Weishaupt
and Baron Von Knigge tried to sell the leaders of Freemasonry on the idea that
their Order of the Illuminati had a higher, much older and more mysterious
system than any of the higher degrees of Masonry. In its internal
organization, the Order of the Illuminati was divided into three great
classes: (1) The Nursery (2) Symbolic Freemasonry (3) The Mysteries [24].Adam
Weishaupt's plan for world take-over was to operate under cover as long as
possible, and when the gullible world finally found out it would be too late
to stop them. The Illuminati was to be a Secret Society within the Secret
Society of the Freemasons. And, to stay hidden from the vast population, Adam
Weishaupt and his co-conspirators selected for themselves code names, such as
Spartacus for Weishaupt, Von Knigge became Philo, and Herr Von Zwack was
called Cato [25].The Illuminati also tried to hide their location as they
traveled in different countries spreading their poison. They did this by using
code names to communicate where they were. For instance, Ingolstadt, Germany,
where their organization originated, was given the fictitious name of Eleusis;
Austria was Egypt, Munich was called Athens, and Vienna was Rome. The
Illuminati invented its own calendar and the names of the months were also
given code names, such as Dimeh for January, and Bemeh for February [26].
Because
of Martin Luther's rejection of the Roman Catholic Church in 1517, and the
corruption and strife within the Roman Catholic Church itself, the Papacy lost
a great deal of its authority to dictate to the world. Before Adam Weishaupt
formed his Order of Illuminati in 1776, Free Thinking or the Encyclopedists,
were already preaching a philosophy against the tyranny and fanaticism of the
Roman Catholic Church. One such voice heard in the third quarter of the 18th
century was a French author, philosopher and apostle of Free Thought (Liberty)
named Voltaire (1694-1778). Even though the Roman Catholic Church lost much of
its power before 1798 when Pope Plus VI was dethroned [27], Voltaire still
lived in an age when the press did not exist, thought was not free; and men
were not equal before the Civil Law.
Although
professing belief in a Supreme Being, or a god, he denied the existence of
Jesus Christ and the authority of the Bible [28]. He became a staunch opposer
of papal Christianity and helped to promote the Encyclopedis ou Dictionnaire
Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metier (28 vols. 1751-1772; Supplement
5 vols. 1776-7 table analytique, 2 vols. 1780), to which he was a contributor,
and which is known to us today as the Encyclopedia.
Like
Weishaupt, Voltaire, whose real name was jean Francois Arouet [29], was
educated by the Jesuits, but later turned against Catholicism and helped
promote the philosophy of Enlightenment (Illuminism) to combat papal
Christianity. From the Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology, Baldwin, we
will read where the philosophy of the Encyclopedists and that of the
Illuminists became fused into the same movement working to cause the French
Revolution:"For the Encyclopedia was more than a great dictionary of
sciences, arts, and trades; it was conceived in the spirit OF THE ILLUMINATION
MOVEMENT, and it carried the PRINCIPLES, AS WELL AS THE RESULTS, OF THE NEW
THINKING INTO THE CULTURE OF THE TIME, THUS IT BECAME AT ONCE A STOREHOUSE OF
INFORMATION AND A REVOLUTIONARY FORCE." Dictionary of Philosophy and
Psychology, Baldwin, The Macmillan Company, p. 322.There was an army of
writers used by Lucifer in the 18th century to poison the minds of the French
people against Christianity as a whole nation. Voltaire once boastingly said:
"I am weary of hearing people repeat that twelve men established the
Christian religion. I will PROVE that one man may suffice to overthrow
it" [30].
Actually
the ideas of the Enlightenment (illuminati) was a continuation of the
Renaissance, that was borrowed from the Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BC).
Weishaupt's idealism was borrowed also from such writers in the 17th century
as Descartes and Bayle in France, Grotius in Holland, Leibnitz in Germany,
Locks in England [31].In the early 18th century, writers such as Newton and
Hume in England, Diderot, and D'Alembert, like Voltaire, can all be credited
with contributing to this philosophical movement which led to the founding of
this Secret Revolutionary Society called the illuminati [32]. In the United
States, Benjamin Franklin, who knew Voltaire, was a leading figure in the
Enlightenment. And, ironically enough, the ideas of this movement formed the
background to the Declaration of independence. It was our Lord, however, that
took this confusion and molded it into a protective shield against both civil
and religious persecution,Now coming back to the prophecy about the illuminati
making avowed war on the Bible (Two Witnesses), we read in Revelation 11:9-12:
"And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see
their dead bodies three days and on half, and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice
over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these
two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after THREE DAYS AND
AN HALF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE FROM GOD entered into them, and they stood upon
their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a
great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up
in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."There may have been many minor
reasons why France became a habitation of Atheists during the French
Revolution with its 3.1/2 year "Reign of Terror," however, it
actually began because of Roman Catholic suppression of the Scriptures. Christ
was not preached as set forth in the Gospel. It was just the opposite. Jesus
was misrepresented among the vast multitudes in France, which led to
Christianity being prohibited by state law. Because of the false presentation
of the Gospel by the Papacy, the suppression of the Scriptures, the tyranny
and fanaticism of the Papacy, an army of atheists was able to gain sympathy
for their cause, and the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit was
able to make war on the Bible (Two Witnesses) and overcome it. Here we find
the reason the Papacy lost its dictatorial power. This set the stage for not
only destroying Christianity in France at that era of time, but also set the
stage for the forces of France to march into Vatican City and dethrone the
Pope when Napoleon came on the scene after the Revolution.
Writers
have hailed the French Revolution as the dawning of a new era, but it actually
was the birth of another terrible deception of the Seven Headed Dragon
(Lucifer) to destroy millions of human lives. When Lucifer saw that the
Papacy's power was coming to an end as predicted in Daniel 7:25, he simply
raised up another movement to destroy man that would continue until the
Papacy's power is restored as predicted in Revelation 13:3 which we will later
study.Now, the Illuminati movement that shall make war on the Lamb (but the
Lamb shall overcome them, Revelation 17:14) is not to become world wide until
the second beast of Revelation 13:11-17 begins to emerge and speak as a
dragon. This, as we will learn later, is the power of Apostate Protestantism
in America. But before we can understand how illuminism, Catholicism, and
Apostate Protestantism shall go forth into the world to unite them against the
Real Jesus of the Bible, we need to know what name the Illuminati are
operating under today.As stated before, Adam Weishaupt connected with the
Masonic Lodge in 1777. He posed at first among the Freemasons as a reformer in
religion and a liberal in politics. Because Freemasonry was also anti-papal,
Weishaupt's anti-papacy policies in Germany became popular immediately.
Weishaupt enrolled no less than two thousand names upon the Illuminati
registers in Germany. Among those were some of the most distinguished
aristocrats of that Country [33].It is quite apparent that the men of the
Order of Freemasonry that joined Weishaupt's Illuminati, had no idea of what
trap they had fallen into. Very few Masons understood what Adam Weishaupt's
plans were in the beginning, as very few Masons today understand what their
own organization teaches. Weishaupt penetrated into the Freemasonry
organization with all the shrewdness and subtlety that he learned from once
being a Jesuit priest.
Some
historians have written that the French Revolution was not premeditated. Some
will say that the French Revolution emerged only from a political crisis that
coincided with an economic breakdown. This economic breakdown generated unrest
and riots which even the French army could not quell. It was this, some
historian will argue, that made the people of France determined to cause a
social change, and overthrow their country.What these historians say is true
in part only. The parts of history some historians fail to see, or leave out,
is actually what caused the people in the first place to accept this spirit
(of Illuminism). As stated before, it was the suppression of the Bible, the
fanatical oppression of the Roman Catholic Church, that actually generated the
spark that eventually led the French people to reject Christianity and
publicly burn their Bibles. History records that the events that led up to the
French Revolution were caused by anarchy. The citizens became divided into a
medley of hate factions that were struggling for power, trying to exterminate
each other [34]. But before this it was the Roman Catholic Church, who
slaughtered French citizens by thousands, that kindled a hatred for
Christianity. The murderous character of the Papacy was seen in France. In
1572 AD Roman Catholics tried in one sweep to murder all of the Protestants in
France. This is known in history as the St. Bartholomew Massacre. Within the
space of one month, 60000 Protestants are said to have been slain in France.
All told there were over 75000. The Cardinal of Lorraine gave 1000 crowns as a
reward to the person who brought the news to the Vatican [35].Here the reader
may understand more clearly Revelation 11:8, "where also our Lord was
crucified." "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40.
When
the Papacy killed the Protestants in the streets of Paris, they also were
destroying the Temple that Jesus dwelt in, and saith the Lord: "YE HAVE
DONE IT UNTO ME."During the Revolution, France was reduced to a state of
moral debasement similar to that of the city of Sodom in Lot's time. She also
had the same spirit of Atheism within her as did the Pharoah of Egypt in
Moses' day. Both the sins of Sodom (licentiousness) and of Egypt (Atheism)
France was predicted to have in Revelation 11:7,8. At the closing of the 1260
years the Two Witnesses (Old and New Testaments) were to finish their
testimony [36]. And it was from here that illuminism began to emerge and
overcome Christianity. History calls this movement of Illuminism (Atheism)
"The Jacobin CIubs" [37].The Jacobin Clubs in France were the
aristocratic terrorists who spearheaded the French Revolution, which sent King
Louis XVI, on January 21st, 1793, to the guillotine. However, most historians
leave out who was really giving orders to Danton, Marat, and Robespierre, the
leaders of the Jacobin Clubs. It was the Jacobin Clubs that actually abolished
Christianity through the National Assembly, and established the worship of the
goddess of Reason, or Liberty.
The
name "Jacobin" derived from the name of the convent these
aristocratic terrorists used to secretly plot the overthrow of King Louis XVI.
The convent was called Jacobin Dominican Convent [38]. They were also known as
the Society of the Friends of the Constitution, and were soon organized in
every important town in France. They were the most wealthy and influential
people in France. They had as many as 500,000 members at the height of the
influence in 1793-1794 [38].The truth is, this aristrocratic terrorist
movement called the Jacobin Club was actually French illuminists operating
under a different name.As established earlier, Adam Weishaupt became a Mason
in 1777 for the sole purpose of using that organization as a tool for boring
into the high levels of government by simply replacing Freemasons who already
sat in these positions.With an inexhaustible talent for charlatanry, and a
well planned system of espionage, Weishaupt's disciples infiltrated into the
high levels of the governments in Germany, France, England, Belgium, Holland,
Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Italy. However, it was Baron Von Knigge
who joined the Illuminati in 1780 that gave this organization its rapid
expansion, not Adam Weishaupt.Freemasons, like all Secret Societies, choose to
remain obscure and do not like to attract attention. Because the Illuminati
was a Secret Society within the Secret Society of Freeemasonry, even though
they had penetrated into the high levels of Europe, very few indeed ever heard
of them. However, shortly before the Revolution took place in France, two hard
blows would land on the heads of Adam Weishaupt and his co-conspirators. The
Freemasons were not long in hearing rumors about the true nature of
Weishaupt's plans to capture their whole organization. When the Freemasons
began to get wind of Weishaupt's true purposes, a chief council was held to
examine the nature of the Illuminati by top ranking Freemasons. A conference
of Masons was held in 1782 at which time Weishaupt and Von Knigge attended
[40]. But it wasn't until Weishaupt and Von Knigge had a falling out that led
to Von Knigge leaving the Order, that Weishaupt began to have exposure and a
threat of internal strife within the illuminati.
A
contest between Weishaupt and Von Knigge about who was to be the Rex or King
of this Secret revolutionary movement was the real motive for Von Knigge
leaving it. After Von Knigge left the Illuminati, the hardest blow to
Weishaupt's Luciferian Conspiracy was received in 1785. One of Weishaupt's
coconspirators, named Lanze, was struck by lightning while en route from
Frankfurt, Germany to deliver documents to Robespierre, the head of the
Jacobin Clubs at that time. The documents that Lanze was carrying had
important information about the Order of the Illuminati, and its plans of not
only destroying the French government through riots and revolutions, but also
governments of the world as well [41]. This is how we today have information
about this beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit. All of the papers
Lanze was carrying fell into the hands of the Bavarian Government, and the
authorities ordered the police to raid the headquarters of the Illuminati in
Germany. Adam Weishaupt had to escape for his life [42] and all documentive
evidence that the Order of the illuminati was a dangerous international
terrorist group was brought to the attention of many countries in Europe.
However, the warnings fell on deaf ears, as they will in our day. When the
Word of God was rejected, and spiritualism took its place, France fell into a
degrading worship of the goddess of Reason. This period of time in history is
also known as the Age of Reason, or the Reign of Terror. And interestingly
enough, the Reign of Terror lasted 3.1/2 years, as predicted in Revelation
11:11: "After three days and a half (prophetic years) the Spirit of life
from God entered into them, (Old and New Testaments), and they stood upon
their feet."
The
beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit was a political power that
ascended out of Witchcraft, made open, avowed war on the Bible and
Christianity, caused the French Revolution, and is predicted in Scripture to
continue from the French Revolution, and eventually spread to every corner of
the habitable globe.To point out how the same rebellious spirit of Nimrod and
how his hatred towards the Lord of the Sabbath could be seen also in the
Illuminati of the 18th century, Uriah Smith, in his book Daniel and the
Revelation p. 285, quotes a priest of Illuminism that was a well known
comedian in France at that time: "God! if you exist, ... avenge your
injured name. I bid you defiance. You remain silent; you dare not launch your
thunders; who, after this, will believe in your existence?" Daniel and
the Revelotion, Smith, Southern Publishing Association, 1944, p. 285.In the
next chapter we will continue to show this gradual Luciferian Conspiracy to
overthrow Christianity and all governments of the world symbolized in
Scripture as the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit (Illuminati),
and how it can be traced through various names and guises starting from the
French Revolution, to our present day.
The
anarchy that was displayed in the streets of Paris through the efforts of this
Antichrist movement will be seen in this country. Ellen White, in her book
Education, p. 228, saw this anarchy was soon to become a world-wide
Conspiracy. She states:"At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away
all law, not only divine, but human. The centralization of wealth and power;
the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of many; the
combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and
claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide
dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution - All
are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which
convulsed France."

The Birth of Communism 2. The History Behind The League of the Just (a front
for the Illuminati) 3. Karl Marx writes the Communist Manifesto for The League
of the Just 4. Nicholai Lenin becomes a member of the League of the Just, who
later changed their name to "The League of the Communists" 5.
Jacobin Clubs, The League of the Just, The League of the Communists and
Bolshevism were all Illuminati fronts. 6. The plan by the modern 20th Century
Illuminists to get control of the World's Nuclear Weapons through the United
Nations.
In
1785, the Bavarian Government exposed Adam Weishaupt's plan to destroy
Christianity and control governments. However, this was not the end of the
Illuminati, as most historians have written. Weishaupt's plans were only
interrupted and dealt with as a dangerous revolutionary force in Germany. The
other nations that the Illuminati were operating in did not heed the warning
from the Bavarian Government. Just a couple of years later, the plan to
destroy Christianity and World Governments was first seen in the French
Revolution. This same revolutionary force reappeared again in Germany, called
"The League of the Just" [1], with branches in London, Brussels,
Paris, and Switzerland.Napoleon, when he came into power, would not tolerate
the activities of the Jacobin Clubs with their independent opposition, so he
completely suppressed it [2]. However, the Illuminati just operated under
other names. It was under the name of "The League of the Just" that
"Karl Marx" became a member. He was hired to update the writings of
Adam Weishaupt, written seventy years earlier. Weishaupt died in 1830, but his
revolutionary plans were carried on by a list of his successors.In 1842 Karl
Marx began to write revolutionary propaganda for the League of the Just,
hoping to cause a spirit of unrest. In 1844, in collaboration with Friedrich
Engels, and under the supervision of The League of the Just, Marx began to
write the infamous "Manifest der Kommunistichen Partei," commonly
known today as the "The Communist Manifesto," which appeared at the
beginning of 1848 [3]. Later, the Illuminati operating under the name of The
League of the Just, changed their name to "The League of Communists"
[4].
The
Communists celebrate May 1st as the birth of their revolutionary movement
because it was the birthday of the Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt. And,
it is not by chance that all Communists use the "Pentagram" (five
pointed star) as one of their insigia. And, it is not by chance that the
Communists use the term RED to describe their revolutionary movement. The
Rothschild international banking family, who for some 200 years had a great
influence on the economic and the political history of Europe, was founded by
Mayer Amschel Rothschild Feb. 23, 1744 in Frankfurt. He had five sons and the
family name derived from the RED SHIELD on Mayer's ancestor's house.It was
Adam Weishaupt and the House of Rothschild who started this partly religious
and partly political movement [5] foretold in prophecy as the "Scarlet
Coloured Beast" that shall ascend out of the bottomless pit
(Spiritualism). Revelation 17:3, 8.
In
the 1890's this world revolutionary movement added to its membership Vladimar
Ilyich Ulyanov, who changed his name to Nicholai Lenin. As the illuminati
terrorist group in France (Jacobin Clubs) caused the fall of the government of
Louis XVI, so did their later aristocractic brethren operating under the name
of Bolshevism [6] cause the overthrow of the Tsar in Russia and cause the
Russian Revolution in 1917 [7]. It will be shown later that these Communists
were financed by both European and American International Bankers.
The
ideas Lenin developed were directly from the Karl Marx Communist Manifesto,
and the ideas founded in the Communist Manifesto were directly from the
writings of Dr Adam Weishaupt, who took his orders from the House of
Rothschild. Gary Allan in his multimillion best seller None Dare Call It
Conspiracy, states the following about Marx's Communist Manifesto:"If you
study Marx Communist Manifesto you will find that in essence Marx said the
proletarian revolution would establish the Socialist dictatorship of the
proletariat. To achieve the Socialist dictatorship of the proletariat, three
things would have to be accomplished. 1. The elimination of all right to
private property. 2. The dissolution of the family unit: and 3. Destruction of
what Marx referred to as the 'opiate of the people,' 'Religion.' "
Allan
goes on to say, "Karl Marx was hired by a mysterious group who called
themselves 'The League of the Just Men' to write the Communist Manifesto as
demagogic boob-bait to appeal to the mob. In actualfact the Communist
Manifesto was in circulation for many years before Marx' name was widely
enough recognized to establish his authorship for this revolutionary handbook.
All Karl Marx really did was update and codify the very same revolutionary
plans and principles set down seventy years earlier by Adam Weishaupt, the
founder of the Order of the Illuminati in Bavaria. And, it is widely
acknowledged by serious scholars of this subject that the League of the Just
Men was simply an extension of the Illuminati which was forced to go
underground after it was exposed by a raid in 1786 conducted by the Bavarian
authorities." None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Allan, Concord Press, 1971,
p. 25.Even though Allan dates the exposure of the illuminati at another year
than what we read from a Masonic book, nevertheless, it does not alter the
fact that these things are historically true. Marx also called for the
abolition of Capitalism, which he believed was a struggle between the
bourgeoisie (the middle class) and the proletariat (the workers) [8].
Marxism
tells the poor that if they would establish a dictatorship of the proletariat,
which would set up a classless Communist society, everyone would live in
peace, prosperity, and freedom. There would be no more need for governments,
police, or armies, and all these would gradually wither away [9]. Marx said
that the ruling class would never willingly give up its power, and that
struggle and violence were therefore inevitable [10].
This
would naturally sound terrific to some poor struggling blacks, or to the
starving in the Latin American countries. But what the Communist leaders don't
tell the people is that the leaders are exempt from sharing equally the
material wealth of their nation. How many Russian leaders do you see among the
poverty stricken? The real motive behind Communism is not to distribute the
wealth of the world equally, but the Communist Party is just a front for the
super-rich as an instrument for gaining and using power. IT IS NOT THE
COMMUNISTS THAT RUN COMMUNISM. There is yet another controling power behind
communism. Communism and socialism are just arms of a more devilish conspiracy
working behind the public eye, that is not being run from Moscow or Peking,
but from New York, Paris and London.These are very serious and dangerous
times. The average gullible American has absolutely no thought what is about
to come upon him. Awake! Awake! This is a very serious and dangerous
anti-Christian movement that has been working politically and socially since
the French Revolution to destroy the sovereighty of this Nation and all
nations around the world. This beast from the bottomless pit (Spiritualism)
spread its poison first in Europe during the French Revolution, and from there
to Russia. George Washington, even though he was a deceived Freemason, was
nevertheless a loyal American, and was very aware of this International
Revolutionary force to destroy all governments and religions in his own time.
Des Griffin in his book Fourth Reich of the Rich, p. 57 explains how the
Illuminati Conspiracy crept into America even when the 13 original Colonies
were united:
"However,
before the Colonies were united, the Constitution adopted, and our Republic
established, fifteen Lodges of the Order of the IIluminati were formed in the
thirteen Colonies. The Columbia Lodge of the Order of the IIluminati was
established in New York City in 1785: members included Governor DeWitt
Clinton, and later CLINTON ROOSEVELT (a direct ancestor of FDR), Charles Dana
and Horace Greeley. The following year a Lodge was established in Virginia
with which was identified THOMAS JEFFERSON. When Weishaupt's diabolical plans
were exposed by the Bavarian government, JEFFERSON STRONGLY DEFENDED HIM AS AN
'ENTHUSIASTIC PHILANTHROPIST.""Many strong warnings were issued
about the activities of the Illuminati in America. On July 19th, 1798, David
Pappen, President of Harvard University, issued a strong warning to the
graduating class and lectured them to the influence Illuminism was having on
the American scene. President Timothy Dwight of Yale University issued a
similar warning.
"Also
GEORGE WASHINGTON sent a letter to a G.W Snyder in which he stated: 'It is not
my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles
of Jacobinism had not spread to the United States. On the contrary, no one is
more satisfied of this fact than I am."The idea I meant to convey was
that I did believe the Lodges of Freemasonry in this country had as societies,
endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenets." Fourth Reich of the Rich,
Griffin, Emissary Publications, 1979.Russia is a perfect example today of what
the illuminati plans are for the world. There are about 1.1/3 billion persons,
or about a third of the world's population, who now live under Communist rule.
However, it is estimated that only 10% of the people are actually members of
the Communist Party themselves [11]. Look at Russia today and its Communist
brethren worldwide. The Communist Party allow no political rivals, and the
voters have no real choice among candidates. The truth is that the Communist
Party itself is a highly centralized government, and only its top members make
important decisions. Most Communist countries are nothing less than open air
concentration camps. And, contrary to Marx's predictions, their conflicts,
crime and prejudices have not vanished in these Communist countries. There is
just as much centralization of the wealth of a nation for the gain of a few,
at the expense of the poor and middle class, in Communist countries as there
is in non-Communist countries. There can also be seen in Communist countries
the same national and racial hatred they were supposed to be free of.Who are
really pulling the strings today behind the Communist World Revolutionary
movement? Gary Allan's statement in his book, None Dare Call It Conspiracy,
could not state it any plainer, on page 35:" 'Communism' is not a
movement of the down-trodden masses but is a movement created, manipulated and
used by power-seeking billionaires in order to gain control over the world ...
first by establishing socialist governments in the various nations and then
consolidating them all through a 'Great Merger,' into an ALL POWERFUL WORLD
SOCIALIST SUPERSTATE probably under the auspices of the UNITED NATIONS."
None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Allan, Concord Press, 1971.It is the
International Bankers who are actually pulling the strings that control the
affairs of Communism, not the Communists. Russia, China, Cuba, Poland, etc.
are taking their orders indirectly from the super-rich International Bankers
who control the commerce of this world.
Seventy
years before Karl Marx came on the scene, Weishaupt told his disciples that in
order to achieve this One World Government, his conspirators would have to
infiltrate every agency of the governmental affairs of the nations. They first
used the Masonic Lodges as we learned earlier, to begin this task. By sitting
in the top seats of all governments, the Illuminati agents could eventually
guide the nations toward a "Novus Ordo Seclorum," which means in
Latin "A New World Order." They would accomplish this by the power
of the vote which they would have while occupying positions as
legislators.However, before the people of the world would accept the
Luciferian Government which Weishaupt, an apostle of Lucifer, hoped to
eventually achieve, there would have to be a culture change within the
societies of the people first, along with a spirit of unrest and riots in the
air. The people of the world would have to be reduced into a godless society.
Atheism was just a tool to destroy Christianity in France during the
Revolution. Weishaupt and his "Inner Circle" were not ATHEISTS; they
believed in a god. However, this god was not Jesus Christ, but Lucifer.
Communism is just an anti-Christian, atheistic force to destroy Christianity
and all world governments, by modern day Luciferians who actually control
world commerce. Saith the Lord: "For all nations have drunk of the wine
of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and the MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH are waxed rich through the abundance of
her delicacies. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so
much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in
one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with
fire: for strong is the Lord God who iudgeth her. And the MERCHANTS OF THE
EARTH shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any
more." Revelation 18:3, 7, 11.
For
the benefit of any skeptic, or reader who has been brainwashed into believing
that this Luciferian (illuminati-Communist-Socialistic) Conspiracy does not
exist today, let us look into a warning from Winston Churchill that he wrote
February 8, 1920, in the Illustrated Sunday Herald:"From the days of
SPARTICUS (Adam Weishaupt) to Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela-Kuhn, Rose
Luxembourg, and Emma Goldman, this world-wide conspiracy has been STEADILY
growing. This conspiracy has played A DEFINITELY RECOGNIZABLE ROLE IN THE
TRAGEDY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. It has been the mainspring of EVERY
SUBVERSIVE MOVEMENT DURING THE 19TH CENTURY; and now at last, this band of
extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe
and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads, and
have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
Quoted from The Missing Dimension in World Affairs, Goy, p. 92.
Revelation
16:13,14 warns about the three-fold union of the Dragon, the Beast and the
False Prophet that will unite the whole world whose names are not written in
the Lamb's book of Life, to war against Christ and His people. The first power
that will go out into the world is symbolized as the Dragon, Revelation 16:13.
It is also symbolized as the Beast that Ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit.
These TWO symbols both represent Satan and his Luciferian
(Illuminati-Communism-Socialistic) Conspiracy.Like the 18th century
Illuminists of the French Revolution, the New Age Movement (Spiritualism of
Today) is seeking to destroy Christianity by a worldwide social
transformation. Among this New Age Movement there are teachers and office
workers, famous scientists, government officials and lawmakers, artists and
millionaires, taxi drivers and celebrities, leaders in medicine, education,
law, and psychology, who are trying to condition the Christian world into
accepting this modern version of Nimrod's One World Government.
Marilyn
Ferguson, the author of The Aquarian Conspiracy who is a member of this
Luciferian plot herself, states the following in her book on page 26:"The
Aquarian Conspiracy represents the Now What. We have to move into the unknown:
The known has failed us too completely.
"Taking
a broader view of history and a deeper measure of nature, The Aquarian
Conspiracy is a different kind of Revolution, with different revolutionaries.
It looks to the turnabout IN CONSCIOUSNESS OF A CRITICAL NUMRER OF
INDIVIDUALS, ENOUGH TO BRING A RENEWAL OF SOCIETY." The Aquarian
Conspiracy, Marilyn Ferguson, J.P. Tarcher, Inc., 1980.As we learned earlier,
Communism derived out of an 18th century version of Babylonian Witchcraft
(Illuminism), and it insisted on the forcible overthrow of all existing social
conditions. Francis B. Randall, Ph.D., who has taught at both Amherst College
and Columbia University, states the following about Marx in his book, The
Communist Manifesto, on page 37:
"He
(Marx) insisted on the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions
with uninhibited abandon ... Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist
revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have
a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite! Millions have thrilled to
this most memorable of all appeals that have come down to us from the Romantic
Age." The Communist Manifesto, Marx/Engels, edited by Francis B. Randall,
Ph.D., Simon & Schuster, 1964.As we tried to show the reader before,
Communism is not a movement to help the downtrodden people of the world. But
Communism is actually being run today by Capitalists, the very people who
control the wealth of the world that Communism is supposedly fighting against.
Very few Americans know that Karl Marx was a correspondent and political
analyst for Horace Greeley, who owned the New York Times newspaper. In 1849
both Horace Greeley and Clinton Roosevelt contributed financially to the
Communist League in London to assist in the publication of the Communist
Manifesto [12]. Other contributors were the English millionaire, Cowell
Stepney, and of course Friedrich Engels, who was a wealthy German. And, up
until recently, two checks made out to Karl Marx by Nathan Rothschild could be
seen on display at the British Museum. Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin were financed
by Capitalists from America, England and Germany, to help promote the
Bolsheviki Revolution in Russia.
What
should a follower of Jesus of Nazareth do? Should we unite together and take
up arms and defend ourselves? The answer is NO, a thousand times NO. This
conflict is not a social, but a spiritual war. "For we wrestle 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.It is foretold that Lucifer will condition the
ignorant of this world into accepting a total Luciferian Rule through
Spiritualism, Catholicism, and Apostate Protestantism. In the name of Peace
and Love does this great delusion come. "And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of
this truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2
Thessalonians 2:10-12.
The
modern Luciferian One World Government plot to enslave the whole world under
socialism is attackng the world by using physical force (Communism) and by
subliminal warfare coming in the name of the New Age Movement. This is nothing
less than a mask for the super-rich who are really the ruling class and those
who control the huge secret Society of the Illuminati.The first Russian
Marxist group was formed in 1883 in the very year of Marx's death by Lenin,
who was a Russian Revolutionary exiled in Switzerland. Between 1900 and 1903
Lenin called his revolutionaries the "Bolsheviki, then later renamed
themselves" Communists, after Marx's term in the Communist Manifesto
[13].
Lenin
announced to the world before the overthrow of the Tsar in Russia the
following: "After Russia we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of
Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion
of capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit
into our hands" [14].
Since
that statement Russia, China, Mongolia, Tibet, Afghanistan, Algeria, Ethiopia,
Libya, North Korea, North and South Vietnam, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary,
East Germany, Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania, Cuba, Chile, etc, are under
Communist rule; and now Central America and Mexico are threatened with
Communist guerrillas.However, the Communist plan to overthrow the last bastion
of capitalism (The United States) is to be attacked politically, socially and
economically, as Lenin planned. Robert L. Preston, in his book Wake Up
America, states the following:"When Nikita Khrushchev visited the United
States, he boasted that the Communists would bury us and that our
grandchildren would live under Communist rule. He even outlined the exact
manner in which they would accomplish it:
"You
Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept Communism outright, but we'll
keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you'll finally wake up and
find you already have Communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken
your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our
hands.""As outlined by Khrushchev and Lenin, there is no intention
for the Communist to attack us in battle; they expect us to fall into their
hands like overripe fruit. They intend to bring this about by weakening our
economic structure until we are financially insolvent and by giving us more
and more Socialism until we are too weak to resist the final thrust into
complete Communist rule. As we review the Socialistic and economic picture in
this nation today, we are forced to admit that they have once again proceeded
exactly as planned." Wake-Up America, Hawkes publishing Inc., 3775 South
500 W., Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.Preston goes on to quote in his book on
page 18, the second point Khrushchev made that was to cause the overthrow of
the United States."The best way to destroy the Capitalist System is to
debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can
confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their
citizens." Wake-Up America, pp. 15-17.
There
shall be wars and rumors of wars until Jesus returns. However, the world and
man will not be destroyed by a world wide nuclear holocaust. The Bible makes
this very clear. God's people are here and will be delivered out of this world
at Christ's Second Coming. 1.Thessalonians 4:16. It will be Jesus who will lay
this world in complete ruins, not the Communists. The threat of a world-wide
nuclear war is nothing less than another Communist plot to frighten the
inhabitants of the world into believing that a One World Government is the
only solution for world peace. The reader must understand that Communism is
not being run from Moscow, but by those who control the monetary systems of
the world in London, Paris and New York. Do you really believe they would blow
up each other?As stated before, when Adam Weishaupt and the House of
Rothschild formed their New Order for the Ages, or The Illuminati, they
infiltrated the high levels of the nations in Europe through Freemasonry.
Through this they hoped to be able to fill the top positions in the Old World
Governments so they could legislate bills that would connect the countries
according to their plans. Using social issues and humanitarian causes, the
Illuminati of today have in their ranks untold millions promoting this same
Luciferic scheme, and many in it are completely unawares. Millions upon
millions of sincere people think they are doing the world a great service by
joining this international Luciferian movement that's coming under a name
today called "The New Age Movement."
Constance
Cumbey, a Christian lawyer, got wind of this movement and spent painstaking
months gathering New Age books and magazines, so she could expose it for what
it really is. She states in her book, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, The
New Age Movement And Our Coming Age Of Barbarism, that the New Age Movement
uses secret code names and symbols today, as we showed you earlier. One of the
most important symbols in this modern day Luciferian Conspiracy is, however,
the rainbow. Also called the Antahkarama, it is used in the occult as an
hypnotic device. This modern version of the Illuminati calls the rainbow the
"International Sign of Peace." But to the higher orders of this
movement, it represents in symbolic language that they are building a rainbow
bridge between the personality (man) and the over-soul, or the Great Universal
Mind. This Great Universal Mind is Sanat Kumara, or Lucifer [15]. New Agers
display this rainbow symbol on their cars and businesses.After carefully
investigating the publishing houses and organizations that are today promoting
this modern day version of Adam Weishaupt's World Revolution, Attorney
Constance Chumbey has compiled documentive proof that the New Age Movement has
now a network of more than 10000 different organizations they are working
through, just in the United States and Canada [16].
The
modern day Luciferian Conspiracy to overthrow Christianity and all other
religions that will not worship Lucifer is today called THE PLAN. It was Adam
Weishaupt in the 18th century who first wrote out this Plan for a One World
Luciferian Government. Then, 70 years later it was updated by Karl Marx in the
19th century. However, it was Alice Bailey whom Lucifer used to speak to the
20th century man. Alice Bailey died in 1949 leaving behind a step by step plan
to destroy Christianity and all other religions and governments who will not
adhere to this New Age Movement. Attorney Constance Chumbey points out in her
book, The Hidden Dangers Of The Rainbow, how Alice Bailey, in The
Externalisation of the Hierarcy, told New Agers to feel free to use weapons on
religious groups who interfere in the political process of their movement. The
New Age Movement plans to eliminate several billions of people from the
earth's population. They say this must be done before the year 2000 if the
world is to survive [17].The weapons that they plan to use are NUCLEAR BOMBS,
gained through the promotion of a nuclear freeze and disarmament. The
countries of the world are to be pressured into giving up these nuclear
weapons and they are to be placed into the hands of the United Nations so they
can police the world. On page 548 of her book, Alice Bailey is quoted as
follows:
"As
a means in the hands of the United Nations to enforce the outer forms of
peace, and thus give time for teaching on peace and on the growth of goodwill
to take effect. The atomic bomb does not belong to the three nations who
perfected it and who own the secrets at present - the United States of
America, Great Britain and Canada. It belongs to the United Nations for use
(or rather let us hope, simply for threatened use) when aggressive action on
the part of any nation rears its ugly head." The Externalisation of the
Hierarcy, Bailey.The most dangerous threat for Freedom and Christianity from
these modern Luciferians is coming today under the guise of WORLD PEACE.
To
take control of the world, these conspirators had to get control of the world
monetary systems through a Central Bank which we shall discover they have
already achieved. Now they are working night and day to condition the world
governments into handing over the weapons to them and place them in the very
hands of those who want this One World Luciferian Government. Coming in the
name of Nuclear Freeze for Peace, or Nuclear Disarmament, it has been their
greatest task to get their hands on these nuclear weapons. Alice Bailey, whom
these modern Luciferians follow to the letter, states the following in her
book, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy:"In the preparatory period for
the new world order there will be a steady and regulated disarmament. It will
not be optional. No nation will be permitted to produce and organise any
equiptment for destructive purposes or to infringe the security of any nation.
One of the first tasks of any future peace conference will be to regulate this
matter and gradually see to the disarming of the nations."This 20th
Century Luciferian prophetess told her disciples that the nations of the 20th
century will eventually hand over their nuclear weapons to the United Nations.
This is their ultimate plan, because, as the reader continues to follow the
history of this One World Luciferian Government Conspiracy, we will show with
documentive evidence that the United Nations is the headquarters for the New
Age Movement (Illuminati)!

Now,
let's examine the two other partly religious and partly political powers
Lucifer is predicted to use to bring this final struggle between Christ and
Satan to its end. In Revelation 13:5, we see again how this "First
Beast" identifies with Daniel's prediction of the Papacy in Daniel 7:24,
25. Daniel stated the "Little Horn" would speak "great words
against the Most High." And so did the Apostle John predict this, and
another unmistakable fact that clearly shows us this "First Beast"
is the Papacy: "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue FORTY AND TWO
MONTHS."Here we see again this 1260 years of Papal rule. As we have
already examined, 42 months in Bible prophecy equals 1260 years. Now in
Revelation 13:11-17 we are shown a third partly religious and partly political
power emerging in history around the time the Papacy lost its power to control
Europe. We are sad to say it, but this "Second Beast" here in
Revelation 13:11-17 is Protestant America. The United States is predicted from
Scripture to be first a lamb-like nation; however, later it is to speak as a
dragon, Revelation 13:11. Let us now examine the 13th chapter of Revelation in
more detail.Revelation the 13th chapter is divided into two parts. Verses 1
through 10 are a prophecy of not only the Papacy, but also the controlling
powers of the known world in the ancient past that promoted the various
astrological religions that originally derived out of the Babylonian worship
of Nimrod, Cush and Semiramis.
If
the reader will examine closely the "First Beast" of Revelation
13:1-10 and compare it with Daniel 7:3-8, he will see how similar the two
visions are. Daniel 7:3-8 is the same prophecy John the Apostle was given
almost 700 years later. Daniel saw these pagan Sun worshipping nations in
sequence, while John saw the same prophecy in its full stage. Notice in
Revelation 13:1,2 this First Beast is made also from parts of the animals
(beasts) we read of as described in Daniel's vision. "And the beast which
I saw was like unto a LEOPARD, and his feet were as the feet of a BEAR, and
his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the DRAGON gave him HIS POWER, AND HIS
SEAT, AND GREAT AUTHORITk:" Revelation 13:2.
The
Apostle John was not only given the same vision as Daniel, but he was shown
even more prophetic truths. The Apostle John was shown Seven Heads among the
Ten Horns, and "Another Beast" that Daniel wasn't shown. And John
also saw that it is this First Beast that the "Dragon (Satan) gave his
power, seat, and great authority." And, it is the Beast (Papacy) about
which the book of Revelation warns that will have a Mark, and will have
control of commerce "that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number (666, Rev. 13:18) of his
name."However, it is not this first beast that will cause the whole world
to receive its "Mark" or its name or its number, 666. It is this
"Second Beast" (Rev. 13:11-17) which is "another beast"
that Daniel the prophet didn't see in his vision that will actually
"causeth the.earth and them which dwell therein to worship the First
Beast (Papacy), whose deadly wound was healed." As we pointed out in
history, the Papacy's dictatorial rule was taken away by the French in 1798.
And in Revelation 13:3 it was predicted: "And I saw one of his heads as
it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast." The Papacy's power is predicted from Scripture
to be restored!"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the Dragon (Satan, Rev. 12: 9), and out of the mouth of the
Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet." Revelation 16:13.
These three Satanic powers are also symbolized in Revelation as three beasts
(political powers), that arise from three different areas in the world. They
are: The Beast that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit, Rev. 11:7, 17:3,8; ·
The Beast that rises out of the Sea, Rev. 13:1, 2; and · The Beast that comes
out of the Earth, Rev. 13:11-17.
These
three unclean spirits are predicted to perform such deceiving miracles that
most of the inhabitants from the four corners of the world will believe this
is the power of God. "For they are the spirits of Devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" Revelation
16:14.As we pointed out earlier, it will be Spiritualism that will unite the
whole world under a Luciferian Confederacy. And in our day Spiritualism will
come in the name of The New Age Movement (Illuminati), Catholicism, and
American Apostate Protestantism.Let us now examine by Bible prophecy and
history that the Dragon and the Beast of Revelation 16:13 are symbolized here
as the Illuminati and the Papacy; and let us see how it is, indeed, American
Protestantism who is the False Prophet.Like the Beast that ascendeth out of
the Bottomless Pit (Illuminati), America was foretold to emerge around the
time the Two Witnesses (Old and New Testament) were finishing their testimony
(at the end of the 1260 years of Papal rule). And, like the illuminati,
Protestant America was born in the same year (1776). This will be understood
by examining Revelation the 13th chapter. Both the Papacy and Protestant
America are foretold in Revelation 13:1-18."And I stood upon the sand of
the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet
were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of
his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and
all the world wondered after the beast.
And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make
war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and
his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to
make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over
all kindreds, and tongues and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He
that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the
sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints." Revelation 13:1-10.Revelation 13:1-10 shows the world ruling
political powers Satan has used and is using to promote Spiritualism. Some
suggest that the seven heads on the beast of Revelation 13:1 represent Egypt,
Babylon, Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome and the seventh head is the
Papacy again, when its religious dictatorship is restored.
However,
most have forgotten about another kingdom that existed before Egypt became a
nation. Shortly after the flood, the first kingdom Satan used to promote
Spiritualism was Babel. And it was at Babel that Nimrod attempted to unite the
world in that day into a One World Government. Egypt was indeed a nation that
promoted Witchcraft, but Egypt was never a World Ruling Power. Babel was, and
it was in control of the known world about 2,000 years before King
Nebuchadnezzar ruled the known world from Babylon. Babylon was built on the
ruins of Babel. So, the seven heads found on the Beast of Revelation 13:1
could also be Babel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome and the
Papacy again restored.
Revelation
13:1-10 gives its reader a complete picture from the post flood era up until
the days of this present world history. From Nimrod's Tower of Babel to the
founding of the United States, history was laid out in 95 AD for the Apostle
John to witness in vision.From the Tower of Babel and down through the
centuries, our Lord showed the political powers Satan would use to spread the
worship of himself through Spiritualism. His worship by man started at Babel
and is predicted in Scripture to be promoted from the Vatican under a false
system of Christianity. The Papacy will be, in the near future, the head of
this New World Religion that will unite with all Pagandom and Apostate
Protestantism.
Saith
the Lord: "And they worshipped the Dragon (Devil) which gave power unto
the beast (Papacy): and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto
the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4.During the
1260 years of Papal Rule, Satan used Catholicism to get the known world to bow
before him. However, shortly before the Papacy was to receive its deadly wound
[Revelation 13:3], the United States was to begin its mission in history. Here
in Revelation 13:11-17 is the prophecy that predicted the power of American
Protestantism that would gradually become the Prophet that will lead all the
world again to accept the dictatorial rule of the Roman Catholic
Church."And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. And he
doeth greet wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth
in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means
of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying
to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name." Revelation 13:11-17.
While
the Papacy was losing its power in the third quarter of the 18th century, the
United States as an independent Protestant Nation began to make its appearance
in history. It was to emerge out of a wilderness symbolized in prophecy as
Earth (Rev. 13:13). The United States in the beginning was a haven for those
Protestant European people who were fortunate enough to escape the brutal
Papal Inquisitions. The United States was set up to have both civil and
religious freedom. However, sadly enough, the United States is predicted in
Scripture to throw away its civil and religious freedoms and "exerciseth
all the power of the first beast (Papacy) before him, and causeth the earth
and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (Papacy), whose deadly
wound was healed." In other words, the United States will combine
religious laws with politics, as did the Papacy when it first ruled Europe. It
will force religious laws that actually derived out of Spiritualism, which the
Papacy adopted from the Roman version of the religion of Astrology.
The
United States is predicted in Scripture to be the False Prophet that will
herald the religious dictatorship of the Pope of Rome, and cause the whole
world to accept the Mark of the Beast (Papacy). Since we know now who this
third power is, found in Revelation 16:13, that shall go forth with the Dragon
(Illuminati) and the Beast (Papacy) unto the whole world to gather them
together to battle of that great day of God Almighty, let us now examine how
indeed conspirators have been working within the United States government
behind the scenes, within the high places of our government and other
agencies, to lead our country as it is predicted.To comprehend how degraded
our government is becoming, we need to see what the conspiracy of the Beast
that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit (Illuminati-Communistic-Socialistic)
is working within our own country.
As
we examined earlier, Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Order of the Illuminati,
was a witch, and taught his followers the power of Witchcraft as a weapon to
use against those who would get in their way or tried to expose them. The
whole order was trained to accomplish their objectives in complete secrecy.
Weishaupt himself even remained behind the scenes in his own revolutionary
movement. Only his top members knew him. Using Witchcraft to brainwash his new
initiates into becoming antiChristian, Weishaupt recruited indirectly an army
of international terrorists and propagandists to win others to his movement
and help in his struggle to overthrow ALL religions and ALL governments. He
even had schools that were specially designed to teach Internationalism. Only
a select few were chosen to attend these schools which were established in
different parts of the world.
Some
of the training received in internationalism was the art of Subliminal
Warfare. This takes in mind control, or mind sciences. As stated before,
Weishaupt in early Illuminism hired an army of writers to write propaganda
literature against Papal Christianity. For some 20 years before the French
Revolution, Weishaupt degraded the morals of the French people with Atheism
and with the licentious philosophies of Sodomy. And so do we see this same
attack on the minds of men here in the 20th Century.Back in the late 1940's,
maybe some of you who are old enough will remember the great Communist plot
that was uncovered in Hollywood, where the FBI and the House Committee on
Un-American Activities exposed over 300 of Hollywood's top stage and screen
stars as card carrying Communists.Myron C. Fagan was a screen writer, producer
and director both in Hollywood and on Broadway. In 1945, at the urgent request
of John T. Flynn, the author of The Roosevelt Myth, While We Slept, and The
True Story of Pearl Harbor, Fagan attended a meeting in Washington, DC, where
he was shown a set of microfilms and recordings of the secret meeting at Yalta
attended only by Franklin Roosevelt, Alger Hiss, Harry Hopkins and Stalin,
Molotov and Vishinsky, when they hatched the plot to deliver the Balkans,
Eastern Europe and Berlin to Stalin. As a result of that meeting, Myron Fagan
made open and avowed war on this Illuminati-Communistic-Socialistic
Conspiracy, and formed an anti-Communist society called the Cinema Educational
Guild. As a result of the work to expose Communistic propaganda in Hollywood,
radio and television, in 1947 there was set up in Washington, DC the
Congressional hearings that unmasked some of the most famous stars in
Hollywood as card carrying Communists.
You
may wonder why these so-called stars are allowed to continue to influence the
movie screens with their presence. The answer to that is, they are working for
these same international bankers who own the movie companies. As we continue,
it will be shown that it is these same international bankers who control
Russia, that are the same conspirators who control NBC, ABC, and CBS
television networks, and many large newspapers, magazine companies, and the
modern Order of the Illuminati!When the reader understands that our media are
controlled by these same international bankers, maybe he can see why the
Communist activity in Hollywood is alive and well.Man is by nature an
imitator. Let an American stay in Britain for some time and when he returns,
he may sound like an Englishman. Let there be a fashion change started and
watch how quickly folks will attempt to imitate. By studying the life of
Jesus, man learns what truth is personified. Jesus said: "I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me." John
14:6. The more we learn about Jesus, the more we will want to become like him.
However, the more our eyes take in the satanic influence of this world, the
more a person can be transformed into its image.In the ancient world Satan
degraded the morals of the people and led them to commit the lowest
abominations known to mankind by using Nimrod, Semiramis and Cush, who were
worshipped as gods through various names and myths. Everything from
cannibalism, human sacrifices, incest, sacred prostitution, homosexuality,
murder, rape, self-mutilation, torture and suicide, to magic, sorcery,
spell-casting, fortunetelling, necromancy, warlockery, and so on, did the gods
do in the epics of their lives.
Therefore,
the ignorant pagans who worshipped these false gods followed in their
footsteps. Now, in these modern times, its the movie stars, rock stars and
athletes who have become the gods that many worship.Do not our children or
adults receive a steady diet of these same atrocities committed by these stars
in the roles they portray? Even the children's cartoons are saturated with
crime and violence. Are not the soap operas full of this junk? Awake! Awake!
Can't the reader see the subliminal seduction by the hidden instigator of sin?
Can't the reader see that there is definitely a reason behind all this crime
and violence shown on TV, in movie theaters, and in magazines and
newspapers?Let's take a look again at the realm of music. Do we really need to
ask where some of these rock groups get their inspiration? Take for instance
Kiss, who paint their faces and leap on the stage puking blood, declaring,
"God of Rock and Roll, we'll steal your virgin soul." The producer
Bob Ezrin described Kiss as "symbols of unfettered evil and
sensuality." Rock magazines call them "fire-breathing demons from
Rock and Roll Hell" [1].
One
of the members of Kiss, Peter Criss, boldly declares, "I find myself
evil. I believe in the Devil as much as God. You can use either one to get
things done." Another member of the group has been quoted as saying:
"If God is hot stuff, why is he afraid to have other gods before Him?
I've always wanted to be God" [2]. Another Rock group we should take a
look at, who have been a great influence toward Satanism, is the Rolling
Stones. Keith Richards' heroin arrest and his statement express what they
stand for: "There are black magicians who think we are acting as unknown
agents of Lucifer" [3]. Also, the songs they have made, such as the
revolutionary propaganda of "Street Fighting Man," and the anthem of
satanist "Sympathy for the Devil" or "Dancing with Mr. D"
(the Devil), bear out Richards' comment.The lead singer of Led Zeppelin openly
admits to a fascination with black magic, and the guitarist, Jimmy Page owns
the home of the late, infamous Aleister Crowley, whom we studied earlier.
Jimmy Page says he has his own occult bookshop because, he explains,
"There was not one good collection of books on the occult in London and I
was tired of having to go all different places to get the books I wanted"
[4]. Page was asked if he were a practicing witch, and he answered with:
"I do not worship the Devil. But magic does intrigue me" [5].
The
Bible warns that what we behold is what we will be changed into. King David in
the Psalm 119:37 said: "Turn my eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken
thou me in thy way." Satan from the time of Adam and Eve used every
device he could foster to take the eyes off goodly things to set them upon the
evil things. Shortly before the French Revolution, the Illuminati destroyed
what little faith the French had in Christ by writing pamphlets to distribute
among the people. Today, their anti-Christian attacks are a hundred times more
subtle. They are using Hollywood, special interest groups, the Feminist
Movement, Civil Rights groups, the Federal Reserve Act, Congressmen, Senators,
and even Presidents to degrade and divide the people in the United States into
different hate factions, as they did during the French Revolution to destroy
that government and Christianity. They were known as the Jacobin Clubs in the
18th century in France, and today they are called Communists. Two weeks after
the Kennedy assassination, the late FBI Chief, J. Edgar Hoover, issued this
warning: "We are at war with Communism and the sooner every red-blooded
American realizes this the safer we will be" [6].The same poisonous
propaganda that caused the French Revolution is steadily brainwashing our
youth as well as the adults today. Can any born-again Christian be so blind as
to doubt that the influences of Communism and the promotion of Witchcraft
today are taking their toll among Americans?Just as a sincere believer in
Christ receives a born again experience (spiritual awakening) --
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: Old things are
passed away; behold, all things become NEW." 2.Corinthians 5:17 -- so is
there a counterfeit experience of this found among witches. Just as a sinner
experiences joy in his heart when he makes peace with God through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ and is baptized, and no longer wants to live a life
of sin, so does a witch have a similar experience of relief when he accepts
the belief found in Witchcraft that Jesus is an imposter. In many covens,
before a witch can be initiated into the arts of Witchcraft, the initiate, if
not born into a family of witches, must take a ceramic cross and turn it
upside down, then break the cross-bar downwards. This is to show other witches
that they have rejected Christianity and Jesus Christ. Today many ignorant
people, who call themselves Christians, hold this sign up to show that they
are for peace, when in reality it shows they have rejected Jesus. The reason
the name PEACE was tagged on this evil sign is derived from the peace witches
say they get after a new initiate shows his rejection of Christianity, and
when he practices the arts of Witchcraft. This art of using gullible
Christians to promote Witchcraft propaganda is done through subliminal
warfare.
The
Bible reveals to its reader what God is like. "But we all with open face
BEHOLDING as in a glass the glory of the Lord, ARE CHANCED INTO THE SAME IMAGE
FROM GLORY TO GLORY even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2.Corinthians
3:18. When the reader studies the life of Jesus Christ from the Scriptures the
Holy Spirit illuminates his inner thoughts with an image that his own life
will begin to imitate. God will mold little by little the character of a
wicked person into reflecting the righteousness of God, which was seen in the
life of Jesus. By beholding Jesus we become changed into His image.It was in
1947 that America was awakened slightly from her deep sleep to see what the
Communists were up to. However, America just opened her eyes a little, then
fell back into a deeper sleep than before. Communists have their agents
planted in every social and political issue that is connected with the affairs
of this country. Here quoted from the Congressional Record for the year 1947,
on page 2691 we read the warning:
"The
American Communists launched a furtive attack on Hollywood in 1935 by the
issuance of a directive calling for a concentration in Hollywood. The orders
called for action on two fronts: 1. An effort to infiltrate the labor unions.
2. To infiltrate the so-called intellectual and creative fields."In movie
circles, Communists developed an effective defense a few years ago in meeting
criticism. They would counter with the question, 'After all, what is the
matter with Communism?' It was effective because many persons did not possess
adequate knowledge of the subject to give an intelligent answer."Some
producers and studio heads realize the possibility that the entire industry
faces serious embarrassment because it could become a springboard for
Communist activities. Communist activity in Hollywood is effective and is
furthered by Communists and sympathizers using the prestige of prominent
persons to serve, often unwittingly, the Communist cause.
"The
Communist tactic of infiltrating LABOR UNIONS stems from the earliest
TEACHINGS OF MARX, which have been reiterated by party spokesmen down through
the years. They resort to all means to gain their point and often succeed in
penetrating and literally TAKING OVER LABOR UNIONS BEFORE THE RANK AND FILE
MEMBERS ARE AWARE OF WHAT HAS OCCURRED."With few exceptions the following
admonitions of LENIN have been followed: 'It is necessary to be able to
withstand all this, to agree to any and every sacrifice, and even - if need be
- to resort to all sorts of devices, maneuvers, and illegal methods, to
evasion and subterfuge, in order to penetrate into the trade-unions, to remain
in them and to carry on Communist work in them at all cost.'" (p.38 Left
Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, vol. 1, Lenin 1934, International
Publishing Co., Inc)Now can the reader understand why there is so much sex,
crime, and anti-Christian propaganda constantly seen in the theater and on
television? The average American citizen is completely unaware of the
Communist plot to program the American people into accepting Socialism by
degrading Christian principles and exalting Sodomy, because all of the
networks of television and radio, the magazines and newspapers are controlled
by these same conspirators who are running Communism. To see that these things
are so, let us now examine the history of how Communism began to infiltrate
the American society and how the House of Rothschild connected American New
York Bankers with the Illuminati.Now shortly before Karl Marx began to write
theCommunist Manifesto, another Illuminist in America published a book that
also outlined the plans of Adam Weishaupt. His name was Clinton Roosevelt (a
direct ancestor of Franklin D. Roosevelt). His book was called The Science of
Government Founded on Natural Law. In it Roosevelt had some of the same
philosophy shown in Adam Weishaupt's writings, "that the men of the
Illuminati are to be regarded as the most perfect and enlightened of men"
[7]. And in his book, Roosevelt outlined the plans of the Illuminati for the
regimentation of ALL MANKIND. In other words, enslavement of the vast
populations of the world. To accomplish this, the whole world was to
eventually be reduced to what we studied earlier during the French
Revolution.Des Griffin quotes a statement made by Clinton Roosevelt about how
Roosevelt felt about our Constitution: a "leaky vessel which was hastily
put together when we left the British flag" [8]. He also stated his
atheistic and blasphemous feelings toward our Creator in his book by saying:
"There is no God, of justice to order things aright, if there be a God,
he is a malicious and revengeful being, who created us
for
misery."
Clinton
Roosevelt published his book in 1841. Before this Illuminati propaganda was
published to poison the minds of Americans, another Illuminist played maybe
even more of a part in spreading poison to degrade the morals of the American
people. This Illuminist was sent to the United States from England, like a
Christian missionary is sent to a foreign land to preach the Gospel of Christ.
She arrived in New York in 1818 and later in 1828-29 held a series of lectures
among American Illuminists. Now remember, the word Communist was not used
before by Illuminists to describe this movement until Karl Marx wrote the
Communist Manifesto in 1844-48. But, here we will learn where the word
Communist actually derived from and what these Luciferians' real plans are for
America.In Des Griffin's book, Fourth Reich of the Rich, he states the
following:"In 1829, American Illuminists sponsored a series of lectures
in New York by English IIluminist Frances 'Fanny' Wright. She advocated the
entire Weishauptian program of her auxiliary of the Order of the Illuminati
including COMMUNISM MADE MORE PALATABLE BY THE LABEL OF 'EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND
EQUAL RIGHTS, ATHEISM, EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN AND FREE LOVE. Those present were
informed that the Illuminati intended to UNITE THE NIHILIST AND ATHEIST GROUPS
WITH ALL OTHER SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATIONS INTO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION TO
BE KNOWN AS COMMUNISM. This new destructive force was to be used by the
Illuminati to foment future WARS AND REVOLUTIONS. Clinton Roosevelt (a direct
ancestor of FDR), Charles Dana and Horace Greeley were appointed a committee
to raise funds for this new undertaking." Fourth Reich of the Rich,
Griffin, Emissary Publications, 1979, p. 62.
So
you see, the Communist movement, as a tool to foment future wars and
revolutions by the illuminati, was actually formed here in the United States!
Frances "Fanny" Wright's revolutionary aims for the United States
could be seen in a tract she wrote called Views of Society and Manners in
America. The London Quarterly Review said of her book: "A most ridiculous
and extravagant panegyric on the government and people of the U.S. accompanied
by the grossest and most detestable calumnies against the country" [9].
In
the mid 1800's Albert Pike emerged to join this Luciferian Conspiracy. As we
learned earlier, Albert Pike became the most recognized leader and author of
Freemasonry.He was also the head of an order that promoted the exaltation of
Lucifer who were called the Palladists, which most Christian Masons never knew
about. In 1834 Giuseppi Mazzini, the Italian revolutionary who was appointed
by the Illuminati to be its director after Adam Weishaupt died, appointed
Albert Pike to head the operations of the Illuminati in the United States
[10]. Eventually, Mazzini and Pike divided betweem them the work that was to
be done to carry on this One World Government Conspiracy planned earlier by
Adam Weishaupt.
Pike
took control of the THEOSOPHICAL SIDE of their operations while Mazzini was in
charge of the POLITICAL SIDE of the Order. To further their goals to destroy
the Christian religion and to promote a Luciferian One World Government, Pike
as the head of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,
organized another Order of Freemasonry called the "new and reformed
Palladian Rite." He named this after the Luciferian Order of which he
also was the head, then he established this Order of Freemasonry with Three
Supreme Councils in the world. They were in Charleston, SC, Rome, Italy and
the third in Berlin Germany. The promotion of the worship of Lucifer was then
openly laid out to these Freemasons by instructions issued by him on July 14,
1889, to 23 Supreme Councils of Freemasonry in the world.Now in order that the
reader may understand what Pike said to these 23 Supreme Councils, the reader
must remember what we earlier learned about in the modern beliefs found in
Witchcraft. Modern day witches say they do not worship Satan. They believe
Satan and Lucifer are not the same god, as Christians believe. Satan, to
modern day witches, is just a Christian invention to scare people into being
good. However, higher witches and Doctors of Occultism believe Lucifer is
really the Good God, while they say it is Jesus Christ who is the Evil One.
Des Griffin quotes Lady Queenborough's book, Occult Theocrasy, that records
Pikes own words: "That which we must say to the crowd is "We worship
a God, but it is the GOD one adores without superstition."
"To
you, Sovereign Grand Instructors General, we say this, THAT YOU MAY REPEAT IT
TO THE BRETHREN OF THE 32nd, 31st, 30th degrees: The Masonic religion should
be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintainjed in the purity of
THE LUCIFERIAN DOCTRINE." "IF LUCIFER WERE NOT GOD, WOULD ADONAY
(the Christian God) whose deeds prove his cruely, perfidy, and hatred of man,
barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests calumniate
him?""YES, LUCIFER IS GOD, AND UNFORTUNATELY ADONAY IS ALSO GOD. FOR
THE ETERNAL LAW IS THAT THERE IS NO LIGHT WITHOUT SHADE, NO BEAUTY WITHOUT
UGLINESS, NO WHITE WITHOUT BLACK. FOR THE ABSOLUTE CAN ONLY EXIST AS TWO GODS:
DARKNESS BEING NECESSARY TO LIGHT TO SERVE AS ITS FOIL AS THE PEDESTAL IS
NEGESSARY TO THE STATUE, AND THE BRAKE TO THE LOCOMOTIVE...""THE
DOCTRINE OF SATAISM IS A HERESY AND THE TRUE AND PURE PHILOSOPHIC RELIGION 'IS
THE BELIEF IN LUCIFER,' THE EQUAL OF ADONAY; BUT LUCIFER, GOD OF LIGHT AND GOD
OF GOOD, IS STRUGGLING FOR HUMANITY AGAINST ADONAY, THE GOD OF DARKNESS AND
EVIL."
(La
Femme et L' enfant dans La Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, by A.C. De La Rive,
p. 588; and Occult Theocrasy by Lady Queenborough, pp. 220, 221) Quoted from
Fourth Reich of the Rich, Griffin, pp. 70, 71.Here is another shocking quote
from this Apostle of Lucifer that all sincere Christians or Non-Christians
everywhere better become aware of. Pike, in a letter dated August 15, 1871,
(which until recently was on display in the British Museum Library in London)
gave Mazzini details of the Luciferian plan for the world conquest. In this
letter he outlined the plans FOR THREE WORLD WARS. Pike said during the THIRD
WORLD WAR:"WE SHALL UNLEASH THE NIHILIST AND ATHEISTS, AND WE SHALL
PROVOKE A FORMIDABLE SOCIAL CATACLYSM WHICH IN ALL ITS HORROR WILL SHOW
CLEARLY TO THE NATIONS THE EFFECT OF ABSOLUTE ATHEISM, ORIGIN OF SAVAGRY AND
OF THE MOST BLOODY TURMOIL. THEN EVERYWHERE, THE CITIZENS, OBLIGED TO DEFEND
THEMSELVES AGAINST THE MINORITY OF REVOLOTIONARIES, WILL EXTERMINATE THOSE
DESTROYERS OF CIVILIZATION, AND THE MULTITUDE DISILLUSIONED WITH CHRISTIANITY,
WHOSE DEISTIC SPIRITS WILL FROM THAT MOMENT BE WITHOUT COMPASS (DIRECTION),
ANXIOUS FOR AN IDEAL, BUT WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE TO RENDER ITS ADORATION, WILL
RECEIVE THE PURE LIGHT THROUGH THE UNIVERSAL MANIFESTATION OF THE PURE
DOCTRINE OF LUCIFER, BROUGHT FINALLY OUT IN THE PUBLIC VIEW, A MANIFESTATION
WHICH WILL RESULT FROM THE GENERAL REACTIONARY MOVEMENT WHICH WILL FOLLOW THE
DESTRUCTION OF CHAISTIANITY AND ATHEISM. BOTH CONQUERED AND EXTERMINATED AT
THE SAME TIME." Quoted in Fourth Reich of the Rich, Griffin, pp. 71, 72.
Now
can the reader see who is behind this Charles Manson Family, and motorcycle
gangs, some Rock groups, Hollywood and Television, high interest rates,
Feminist movements, civil rights organizations, and Labor Unions that are
degrading the American people into different hate factions akin to that of the
French Revolution? The Bible predicted this revolutionary force as the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit. But, we live in a time where we can
examine this movement inwardly because History says its been working behind
the scenes to bring these plans around since the French Revolution. We can
trace their footprints in history, to show where they began and where they
lead and who they are.To plainly state it, all the footprints from Adam
Weishaupt's time to our time will lead us to the doors of a ring of
international bankers, who control the worlds wealth, and have the same
beliefs as Albert Pike. Under them is a network of industrialist, scientists,
military and political leaders, educationalists, economists and entertainers.
It
is a well known fact that International Bankers have financed nations to fight
against each other. Where do you think the countries get their money to buy
tanks, guns, uniforms, etc., to arm their nations for war? They borrow from
international bankers. International Bankers have financed both sides of
countries at war with each other. They care not who wins because, while the
nations are borrowing huge amounts of money to kill each other, international
bankers make huge amounts of money from the interest charges they make the
nations pay. They also have the power to control the out-come of the war by
simply cutting off the flow of money they lend. So under the threat of war,
international bankers have used their power to gain or increase control over
governments. By keeping a nation in debt to them they are in a position to
demand a voice in the government affairs of that nation.However, another goal
which they have already achieved is to control all the world's Monetary
Systems. Here we will learn how American bankers connected with the
Rothschilds and the History behind the Federal Reserve Trap.Gary Allan, in his
book None Dare Call It Conspiracy, points out that in Karl Marx Communist
Manifesto, one of the planks written for world conquest was to get control of
the Monetary Systems. Gary says:
"Lenin
later said that the establishment of a CENTRAL BANK WAS NINETY PERCENT OF
COMMUNIZING A COUNTRY. Such conspirators knew that you cannot take control of
a nation without military force unless that nation has a central bank through
which you can control its economy." None Dare Call It Conspiracy Allan,
Concord Press, 1971, pp. 41, 42.It was on May 1st, 1776 that Adam Weishaupt
backed and led by the House of Rothschild, formed the International
Revolutionary force called the Illuminati which later became known as
Communism. Now, the revolutionary slogan for the Illuminati in Latin, was
"NOVUS ORDO SECLORIUM," which means "A NEW ORDER FOR THE
AGES," which comes from the philosophies of Astrology.As we saw earlier,
the insignia on the back of a dollar bill with the ALL-SEEING-EYE, was a
Witchcraft sign found among the Masons, which the illuminati was a part of
shortly after the Americans signed the Declaration of Independence, on July
4th, 1776. Americans are made to believe that the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI on
the pyramid, which add to 1776, is to celebrate Independence Day of luly 4th,
1776. But reader, nothing could be further from the truth about this matter.
This occult sign with its slogan "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" is to
commemorate the founding of the Illuminati on May 1st, 1776, not the fourth of
July. And, it is not by chance that the EAGLE which was a symbol for Lucifer
to the ancients, and was known as the Phoenix, is now used as a symbol of the
office of the President of the United States, which according to Bible
Prophecy, will "SPEAK AS A DRAGON." Revelations 13:11.To show some
more subliminal warfare of the devil by his people, let us look at the number
13 to see its importance to these conspirators. The number 13 to witches is a
most powerful magical number in practicing warlockry. As established earlier,
Witch covens today have usually 13 members in number, but do vary. When
witches cast spells to injure people or cure them, 13 witches stand within the
pentagon, (the center of the five pointed star), and call on spirit guides
(familar spirits Deut. 18:11) which are in reality demons, and the witches
control them to do their bidding. The demon appears in the center of the
Pentagram (the five pointed star).
Reader,
now take a very close look on the back of your One Dollar Federal Reserve
Note. Not only is the Phoenix (EAGLE) displayed here, but look closely at the
stars over the eagle's head. Notice there are 13 stars. Look how they are
arranged. It is not by chance that these 13 stars from the HEXAGRAM which by
the way, is the most EVIL SIGN IN WITCHCRAFT. Americans are made to believe
that these 13 stars represent the 13 original colonies [12]. However, if the
reader will again look closer into this great seal of the United States, he
will discover that those who designed this seal did not display this magical
number 13 by accident. Note the number of times 13 is used.
1.
The Hexagram formed by 13 Pentagrams (stars)
2.
The Eagle Breast Shield has 13 stripes.
3.
There are 13 Berries on the olive branch in the eagle's right talon.
4.
There are 13 arrows in the eagle's left talon.
5.
There are 13 leaves on the olive branch.But for the record, the reason again
for the witchcraft signs found on the back of the One Dollar Federal Reserve
Note is because the six men who had a part in its design were Benjamin
Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Hopkinson (also the designer
of the flag), Charles Thomson, and William Barton [13].
As
stated earlier more than 50 of the signatories of the Declaration of
Independence were earlier Masons or Rosicrucians and were identified with the
esoteric sciences (the occult). So you see, it is not hard to understand why
the Federal Reserve displays witchcraft signs on their notes, because, believe
it or not, the Federal Reserve itself, is comprised of 12 member banks and one
Federal Reserve Board -13 in all. The reader will be shocked to know that the
Federal Reserve is not a U.S. run institution. Now, let's trace its footprints
to see where they lead.Again, in the mid 1800's another German illuminist was
sent on a mission from the House of Rothschild to accomplish a goal of this
New Order For the Ages. His name was Jacob Henry Schiff (1847-1920). He came
to New York first for the sole purpose of getting control of the United States
monetary system. He eventually became the head of the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Company. He bought Kuhn & Loeb out later with Rothschild money.
He
also became the director in many important corporations, including the New
York City National Bank, the Equitable Life Assurance Society, and the Union
Pacific Railroad [14].Using charity as a front to hide his Illuminati One
World Government activities, Jacob Schiff became one of the most important
successors of Albert Pike in leading the United States towards anarchy. As
stated by Lenin earlier, one of the first goals of the communists is to get
control of all monetary systems of the world. And this was to be Jacob
Schiff's first achievement. On December 22, 1913, began one of the worst acts
the communists accomplished that pushed America towards the doom it was to
experience in Albert Pike's plan for world conquest. Here we will really see
how the Bible is so correct in stating how we are at war with "spiritual
wickedness in high places" Ephesians 6:12.
A
Republican, Senator Nelson Aldrich proposed a National Reserve Association in
1911 consisting of a Central Bank, fifteen branches, and a top board controled
by the nation's leading bankers (which was then dominated by J.P. Morgan) of
whom we will study more of in a moment. But Aldrich's proposal never passed.
However, the Illuminati conspirators landed one of their first men to become a
President of the United States. His name was Woodrow Wilson. We will also look
into the life of Wilson and what part he played in this conspiracy in a
moment. However, before we examine how actually our Presidents become
canidates for the office, we should understand another acheivement that Jacob
Schiff accomplished in the United States. This was connecting the bankers of
America, J.P. Morgan, Paul Warburg, and the Rockerfellers into this Luciferian
Conspiracy. Gary Allan in his book "None Dare Call It Conspiracy"
states how the American big bankers formed a confederacy with Jacob Schiff,
who was actually working as agent for the House of Rothschild: "Paul
Warburg married Nina Loeb daughter of Solomon Loeb of Kuhn Loeb and Company,
America's most powerful international banking firm. Brother Felix married
Frieda Schiff, daughter of Jacob Schiff, the ruling power behind Kuhn,
Loeb." Stephen Birmingham writes in his authoritative Our Crowd: "In
the eighteenth century the Schiffs and Rothschilds shared a double house"
in Frankfurt. Schiff reportedly bought his partnership in Kuhn and Loeb with
Rothschild money. Both Paul and Felix Warburg became partners in Kuhn, Loeb
and Company. "None Dore Cell It Conspiracy" Allan, Concord Press,
1971, p.45.
Senator
Nelson Aldrich, whose daughter married John D. Rockfeller Jr, together with
Paul Warburg and other internationist bankers set-up a secret meeting at
Jekyll Island Georgia to make plans to get control of America's Banking
Systems by establishing a central bank. Some of the invited guests were Henry
P Davidson of J.P Morgan and Company; Frank A. Vanderlip, President of the
Rockefeller owned National City Bank; Assistant Secretary of the U.S.
Treasury; A. Piatt Andrew and Benjamin Strong of Morgan Bankers Trust Company
[15]. It was stressed during this secret meeting that in order to get Congress
to accept this Central Bank Scheme, the name "Central Bank" must be
avoided at all cost. Out of the Jekyll Island meeting came the Aldrich Bill.
But, the centralization of the American Banks never passed through Congress.
However, these conspirators just fell back and regrouped again and re-named
the Central Bank Conspiracy, "The Federal Reserve Act," to make it
sound more like a U.S. Government run agency. And to see to it that it would
pass through Congress this time they landed their very first president in
office. His name was Woodrow Wilson. Jacob Schiff, Bernard Baruch, Henry
Morgenthau, Thomas Fortune Ryan, and New York Times Publisher Adolph Ochs, all
contributed heavily to finance the Wilson Campaign [16].
When
Wilson tried to get this Central Bank called the "Federal Reserve
System" to pass through Congress, he chose Rep. Carter Glass to propose
this Federal Reserve Act instead of Aldrich. And in December while Congress
desired to adjourn for Christmas the Federal Reserve Act was passed by a vote
of 298 to 60 in the House and the Senate by a majority.As it was during the
French Revolution, so is it today. The Illluminists or Communists have
penetrated into the high levels of American Politics, and the High levels of
its governmental institutions. Be not deceived! They have their top men posing
as Congressmen, Senators, even Presidents, FBI and CIA agents, as military
officers, and even as clergymen.
The
power of the Illumnati is money. And they use their money to gain control in
the Religious, Political, Economical, Educational, Medical, Military, and
Social areas that deal with society as a whole. And during the "Russian
Revolution," it was under the name of "Bolshevism" that the
Illuminati penetrated in these same areas and caused the overthrow of Czarism
in Russia.Des Griffin in his book "Fourth Reich of the Rich," has
compiled some very important facts about who were working behind the scenes in
the Russian Revolution:"After being thrown out of France and Spain, Leon
Trotsky and his family arrived in New York aboard the steamer Monserrat on
January 13, 1917. Although he was never known to have a job, the Trotskys
lived in a fashionable apartment and traveled around in a chauffeured
limousine. For some time the source of his wealth was unknown.
"Trotsky
left New York aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord bound for Petrograd to organize
the Bolshevik phase of the Russian Revolution. When the ship docked at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 3, 1917, the Trotsky party was detained by
Canadian authorties under instructions received from the British Admiralty in
London."Within hours, great pressure was brought to bear on Canadian
authorities by high officals in both Washington and London to recently
declassified by the Canadian government, reveal that the authorities knew that
Trotsky's group were 'Socialists leaving (America) for the purpose of starting
revolution against the present Russian government... (Wall Street and the
Bolshevik Revolution, by Antony G. Sutton, Arlington House publishers 1974, p.
28). Trotsky and his group were quickly released." The Fourth Reich of
the Rich, Emissary Publications. 1979, p. 89.
Des
Griffin goes on to show where the money came from that was needed for the
Russian Revolution: "President Woodrow Wilson was the fairy godmother
(presumably under instructions from 'Col. House and his backers') who provided
Trotsky with a passport to return to Russia to carry forward the revolution.
This American passport was accompanied by a Russian entry permit and a British
transit visa." Jennings C. Wise, in Woodrow Wilson: Disciple of
Revolution, makes the pertinent comment, "History must never forget that
Woodrow Wilson, despite the efforts of the British police, made it possible
for Leon Trotsky to enter Russia with an American passport (Sutton, p.
25).""In April 1917, Lenin and a party of 32 Russian
revolutionaries, mostly Bolsheviks, journeyed by train from Switzerland across
Germany through Sweden to Petrograd, Russia. They were on their way to join
Leon Trotsky to complete the revolution. Their trans-Germany transit was
approved, facilitated and financed by the General Staff" unknown to the
Kaiser (p. 39). At this time Max Warburg, the brother of Paul and Felix
Warburg, leading instruments in shackling the "Federal" Reserve
System on the American nation, was high up in German intelligence. Max was
also the head of the Rothschild/Warburg bank in Frankfurt. VERY INTERESTING!
Can anyone doubt that the international bankers were running the whole show
from behind the scenes?" Fourth Reich of the Rich." Griffin,
Emissary Publications, 1979, pp. 89-91.
It
was confirmed by the New York Journal American of February 3, 1949 that Jacob
Schiff gave 20 million in gold to help the final triumph of Bolshevism in
Russia."Now we need to take a deep look into the American politics and
learn how this same Luciferian threat is planning and working behind the scene
in the United States, as they succeeded in doing to the Russian people. Jacob
Schiff, again acting from orders of the House of Rothschild, planned an
organization akin to that of the Jacobin Clubs and the Bolsheviks in Russia.
These aristocratic terrorists would penetrate into American politics as their
brethren did before them in France and Russia. Woodrow Wilson was the sole
property of Jacob Schiff and J.P Morgan and other internationalist bankers.
But the man who was really running things in the White House was the
mysterious "Col." Edward Mandel House during Wilson's term in
office.
Col.
Edward House, who was a British-educated son of a representative of England's
financial interest in the American South, wrote a revolutionary book which he
admitted to later, that revealed plans to overthrow the government of the
United States. The book was called Philip Dru: Administrator, and it was
symbolically written to also show the detailed plans for the creation of a One
World Totalitarian Government.
It
was House and the internationalist bankers who promoted Wilson as the
Presidential candidate. Woodrow Wilson, who was the 28th President of the US,
served two terms as President from March 4th, 1913 to March 4th, 1921. But it
was House who converted Wilson to accept the principles of the centralization
of the US Monetary System. It was House that helped promote the Presidential
candidacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt [18]. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt who gave
the Communists East Germany and eastern Europe.
And
it was Edward M. House under the watchful eye of Jacob Schiff, who was under
the watchful eye of the HEAD of this international conspiracy (the House of
Rothschild of London and Paris), that established in 1921 what their earlier
comrades established, to overthrow the governments of France and Russia.
Called the Jacobin Clubs in France in the 18th century, this aristocratic
revolutionary movement today in America is called THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN
RELATIONS, INC. and its off-shoot is the TRILATERAL COMMISSION. The Council on
Foreign Relations, Inc. is the political side of the illuminati today. They
have produced Congressmen, Senators and even Presidents, that they have used
to pass laws that have little by little led America into becoming a Socialist
country.The Trilateral Commission is an international organization founded by
David Rockefeller, who also had a part in founding the Council On Foreign
Relations, Inc., and who is the chairman of the board [19]. The Trilateral
Commission is the Illuminati's attempt to unite Western Europe's Common
Market, Japan, Canada, and the United States, into an economic and political
confederacy. What they couldn't do through the political side of the
Illuminati (Council On Foreign Relations, Inc.), they are trying now through
the economic approach.
The
first attempt in the 20th century to unite the whole world into a One World
Luciferian slave unit was tried in history by these super-rich conspirators at
the close of World War I. President Woodrow Wilson on January 8th, 1918 laid
out a 14 point plan to Congress for lasting peace" [20]. Within this
package of world peace was neatly hidden a plan for these conpirators to get
all nations of the world to give up their sovereignty. It was labeled as
"The League of Nations."These modern money changers used World War I
to make tons of money and as a tool to frighten the war-torn people of the
world at that time into believing if all the governments of the world would
unite into a One World Government, this would stop all wars between nations,
and would achieve world peace and security.
The
League of Nations headquarters was in Geneva, Switzerland, and it was during
World War I that our own President Woodrow Wilson in 1918 began to draw the
United States citizens, along with the rest of the world, into accepting this
sham. Eventually with the help of "Col." Edward Mandell House, 63
nations joined the League, although the total membership at one time never
exceeded 58. However President Wilson was dumbfounded when he was unable to
obtain the two-thirds vote in the US Senate required for ratification of a
treaty, and the United States never joined The League of Nations.This caught
these Conspirators completely off guard because surely, they thought, the
United States would fall for this sham, for it was the President of the United
States who was promoting it.Now when the Conspirators saw that their One World
Government couldn't be achieved using the name The League of Nations, Col.
House, under the direction of Jacob Schiff, formed an aristocratic secret
organization called the Council On Foreign Relations, Inc. This private Secret
Society is to produce enough Congressmen, Senators and Statesmen, etc., so the
next attempt to incorporate the US into a One World Government will not fail,
because of the voting power they hope to have. But reader, remember, this is
not a United States Government run establishment. Here from their own
publication, Council On Foreign Relations, Inc., Annual Report 1979-1980,
which is controlled by David Rockefeller, we read the following on page 5:
"The Twenty-one Americans, who, together with British counterparts, founded in Paris in 1919 'The Institute of International Affairs,' were a diverse group that included Col. Edward M. House, Herbert Hoover, Gen. Tasker Bliss, Christian Herter, and such scholars as Charles Seymour, later president of Yale, Professors Archibald Cary Coolidge of H
