YOU ARE NOW ON THE CUTTING EDGE
This information is taken from a famous Freemason book, " Egypt: Cradle of Ancient Masonry", 1902, ISBN: 1-56459-524-2. Note that this book is published by Kessinger Publishing Company, a Freemason and Esoteric publishing house, Kila, MT. We encourage you to consult the suggested reading of your local Lodge and you will find this book, and others from de Clifford. This book is dedicated to Albert Pike, as follows: "ADMIRATION For the memory of our revered Brother, Albert Pike, who made Scottish Rite Masonry what it is to-day. This book is most respectfully dedicated, by the Author."
MAJOR PREMISE OF BOOK
Mr. de Clifford goes to great lengths to show that Freemasonry extends all the way back to the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries, and not to just 1717. As de Clifford states so eloquently, "Masonry has been in existence from time immemorial , and I most firmly believe that our glorious fraternity can date its origin back more than two thousand years before the building of the temple by our three Grand Masters." [Page 16]
Then, de Clifford returns to this theme a little later:
"... I do most assuredly claim that our most Illustrious Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite teaches the same grand truths, the same sublime philosophies, and solves the same scientific problems as elucidated in the esoteric teachings of the ancient mysteries ..." [Page 70].
BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF PAGANISM
Before we go any further, I believe it might be helpful to define the term, Paganism, as the Bible defines it. Many people have a very vague concept of what this term means, and that kind of understanding simply will not suffice if we are to communicate to you exactly what kind of religion Freemasonry truly is.
The Biblical definition of Paganism is succinctly stated in Romans 1:25, "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." The Pagan will worship any number of created objects rather than worshipping the Creator, Jesus Christ. [John 1:1-4] Thus, we see where Pagans worship the Sun, Moon, stars, constellations, trees, rivers, insects, birds, and Mother Earth. But, the most common creature for Pagans to worship is man himself. From time immemorial, man has been subjected to the insidious lie from Satan himself that a "Divine spark" resides within each person that only needs to be discovered to be activated. Thus could John Denver say, "I am becoming a god"!
As we entered into the final phase of the New World Order, approximately 1870, when Albert Pike brilliantly led American Freemasonry into global leadership, this lie that every man is a potential god came to the forefront. Today, this lie has been greatly strengthened to the point where New Age seminars "teach" Self-Esteem and Self-Realization techniques that simply propagate the old lie of Self-Divinity. Antichrist will take this lie to new heights when he arises.
EMPHASIS ON SEX
The greatest single drive of mankind is sex. When you add this fact to the Biblical definition of Paganism, above, then we should not be too surprised to discover that Pagans are very preoccupied with sex in the practice of their religion, and express this preoccupation with sexual symbols. In Paganism, the entire world is thought to be dependent upon "balance" between the Male and the Female Principles. This belief is usually expressed in symbols with a Male Phallic symbol and a Female symbol. Of course, the Male Phallic symbol must be long and narrow and the Female symbol must be open and expansive. In the section from de Clifford's book, we were shocked to see that he graphically presented one of the oldest Pagan sexual symbols known. In this the pertinent section, the Male Phallic symbol is the river, especially the River Nile; the Female symbol is the Earth surrounding the Nile. In this sexual symbolism, Osiris is the name of the Male River phallic symbol, and Isis is the name of the Female symbol , the rich black earth of land surrounding the Nile. The "activity" spoken of by the River, Osiris, is sexual relations with the Earth, Isis.
"... to them [Egyptians], the glorious river Nile was an emblem of God the Father, who brought to their very doors the necessaries of life ... The overflowing of the river Nile was considered by the ancient Egyptians a demonstration of the activity of the Osirian Triad, because they considered that Isis personified the earth of the Nile Valley and Delta ... But they believed that Isis personified the rich black land of the Delta and valley of the Nile, on both banks of the river, as far as Thebes, and beyond, to the first cataract, where all things grew in such luxuriant abundance, and that she would continue to give to the ever succeeding generations, from her inexhaustible productive forces, all that was necessary for the sustenance of Man and his domestic animals living in this wondrous valley of the Nile. How did she produce these wonderful manifestations? Simply by the union of Osiris with Isis. Osiris personified the river Nile, which overflows its banks and takes Isis into his loving embrace, thereby uniting, every year, the river Osiris to his beloved Isis, and from this union comes forth the virgin harvest which represented Horus the Son, and thus we have the Egyptian triad of Osiris, Isis, and Horus." [Page 39]
Certainly, no one would ever find this kind of sexual symbolism in Christian literature! No where in the Bible is it ever suggested, let alone taught, that the Nature, which God created, is symbolic of the human sexual relationship! But, Satan, seizing upon Man's strong sexual urge, has created such symbolism, thereby enflaming the imaginations of sinful, unregenerate man. Thus, this Pagan symbolism serves to even further move Mankind away from a proper spiritual relationship with His Creator, Jesus Christ!
We see a concrete example of this inflammation of the human senses, with sexual symbology, in another section of de Clifford's book. In this section, de Clifford describes an annual rite which the Ancient Egyptians practiced as the result of their believing in this Pagan concept of sexual union in Nature.
"Bubastis of the Egyptians, is the same as the Artemis (Diana) of the Greeks (Her. 2:187). Bast is often represented both sitting and standing, with the cat of lion's head, disk and uraes holding the amulet of life, the anx [ankh]. She is sometimes found holding in her right hand an aegis. She is always represented as a woman and very often a prayer accompanies the figure, one of which is, 'May she grant all life, and power, all health and joy of heart', or 'I am Bast, the Lady of Life.' " [Doesn't this sound like the Roman Catholic Virgin Mary?]
"The panegyries, or festivals, that were held by the people at the various temples of Egypt, sank into comparative insignificance compared with the festivities which took place in Bubastis whose magnificent temple was the favorite resort of men, women, and children. These came from every Nome [Administrative Region] in Egypt, to participate in the sacrifices and licentious festivities indulged in by all who sought Bast. They would come down the river and canals, by boats, in immense numbers, the men beating drums and playing on pipes and the women beating cymbals in time with the music, while those who had no instruments would accompany the harmony by beating time with their hands, shouting, and behaving in a very indecent manner, much after the style of the women who participate in the festival of Ceres at Eleusis. On arriving at Bubastis, they would offer sacrifices and form processions, being led by the men who played the pipe, the rest would follow and perform the most indecent acts while dancing, shouting, and making all kinds of gestures in a very debauched condition and in drunken abandonment. The number annually assembling here to participate in the panegyries of Bast, has been estimated at seven hundred thousand men and women, not including children." [Page 44]
FREEMASONRY IDENTICAL TO ALL THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES
Even though de Clifford uses terms like "indecent", "debauched", and "abandonment" to describe these festivals, I do not find any indication that he was condemning such activity. Indeed, he continually praises Ancient Mysteries Egypt as the highest and best in civilization, and most worthy of emulation. We need to remind you of the close, intimate relationship between Freemasonry and the Ancient Pagan Mysteries. Albert Pike describes this relationship most clearly, in his book, " Morals and Dogma". On page 624, 28th Degree, Pike writes, "... Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries ..."
Ponder this for a moment: Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries. Do you mean those Luciferian Mysteries from Ancient Egypt to Babylon to the Canaanites, Hittites, etc.? Those Mysteries? Yes, for as I read Freemason literature, I am reading teachings from all these Mysteries, as well as the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. Masonry embraces them all, because Masonry claims to teach the "universal truths" that undergird all these religions. In fact, Masonry claims that its religious truths existed before this world was created! Masonic author, Foster Bailey (husband of New Age guru, Alice A. Bailey) writes in his book, 'The Spirit of Masonry', "Because the star Sirius is older than the Earth, Masonry could have existed there long before our Earth Masonry began." (Page 145)
We should expect to see other sexual symbols used as we continue our study of de Clifford's book, "Egypt, The Cradle of Ancient Masonry". As we run across them, we shall report them to you, so you can see the pattern of this type of Paganism within Freemasonry.
If you have not been convinced prior to this article that Freemasonry is not now, has not ever been, nor will ever be, Christian, you should be convinced now. This kind of sexual relationship symbolism belongs in a pornographic book, not in an organization that tries to pass itself off as "Christian".
But, we are told in Bible prophecy to expect such terrible false religions as we enter the End of the Age. Thus, the very fact that we have Freemasonry in existence, and revered by many, is one more sign that we are at the End of the Age. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.
