Subtitle: Using their own writings and symbols, and cross-checking Satanic writings and symbols, we conclusively prove Masonry to be Luciferian. Show this material to your pastor or church leadership!
Most of the article on Freemasonry below has been taken from Masonic books that have been published by Masonic Publishing Companies, and most of them were formerly very, very secret. We further have taken the Biblical admonition carefully, comparing Masonic teachings to the Holy Bible. In 1 John 4:1, we see this command to all Christians: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Thus we see that any religious teaching that does not conform to Scripture is from a "false prophet".
This exercise is not an empty one, for your eternal, precious soul is at stake. Finally, remember two things about Masonry: 1) Superior Masons deliberately lie to their fellow Masons, as those Masons "deserve to be mislead"; 2) Explanations given to 95% of all Masons are wrong. Listen to this quote from a Masonic author, Carl Claudy: "Cut through the outer shell and find a meaning; cut through that meaning and find another; under it, if you dig deep enough, you may find a third, a fourth -- who shall say how many teachings?" You have been lied to, as we demonstrate in our many articles. Finally, remember Albert Pike's bold assertion in Morals & Dogma, that "Masonry is identical to the ancient Mysteries ", which means that all their teachings in all their books are precisely the same as the Ancient, Pagan, Satanic Mysteries!
Please, we implore you, take the time to read our articles so you may finally know the Truth of Jesus Christ, the God of the Universe which Masons contemptuously call an "inferior god", and Whom they never, ever mention in their teachings or their rituals. We fervently pray that the Holy Spirit will illumine your mind, heart, and soul with the knowledge of the true God, and only the true God, of the Holy Bible.
Once you understand, without a shadow of a doubt, that Freemasonry is a worship of Lucifer by the top 5% of all Masons then you can begin to spot evidences of Satanism in so many, many places. We shall continue our study proving that Masonry is Satanic, a study begun in free11 , "Masonry Shown Conclusively to Be Worship of LUCIFER, SATAN". If you have not yet read this article, please stop right now and read it as background.
In this article, we shall concentrate our study on Masonic symbols, since "a picture is worth 1,000 words" and since all occultists place such a huge emphasis on communicating, through symbols, with other Adepts while hiding the truth from the Initiates and the "profane", i.e., people who are not members at all. A Satanic book entitled, "Magic Symbols", by Frederick Goodman, states that "The true magic symbol is an image which hides an inner meaning. This meaning is usually cunningly hidden behind a form which most people think they can understand immediately." [p. 6]
Let us examine a few of these Masonic symbols to discover their "cunningly hidden " meanings, and then we shall compare them with known Satanic symbols so you can easily see from whence Freemasonry receives her "supernatural insights" and her "spiritual Light".
THE DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE
This symbol is probably the most easily recognizable Masonic symbol in the world, even more important than the Compass/Square/Rule. Most people assume that these two birds are Eagles, but such an assumption would be deadly wrong. These two birds are the Phoenix Bird of Ancient Egyptian Mythology. Listen to the explanation from Masonic author, Manly P. Hall, 33 Degree, K.T., in his book, The Phoenix: An Illustrated Review of Occultism and Philosophy . [Before we begin, I find it highly interesting that Hall would admit, by his use of this title, that Freemasonry is occultic].
"Among the ancients a fabulous bird called the Phoenix is described by early writers ... in size and shape it resembles the eagle, but with certain differences. The body of the Phoenix is one covered with glossy purple feathers, and the plumes in its tail are alternately blue and red. The head of the bird is light in color, and about its neck is a circlet of golden plumage. At the back of its back the Phoenix has a crest of feathers of brilliant color ... The Phoenix, it is said, lives for 500 years, and at its death its body opens and the new born Phoenix emerges. Because of this symbolism, the Phoenix is generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection ... The Phoenix is one sign of the secret orders of the ancient world and of the initiate of those orders, for it was common to refer to one who had been accepted into the temples as a man twice-born, or reborn. Wisdom confers a new life, and those who become wise are born again." [p. p. 176-77]
Let us stop right here to examine Satan's counterfeit "Born Again" experience. Freemasons, as do all occultists, refer to their initiates who have completed their initiation, as being "Born Again". I will never forget 1988, when George Bush was on the Presidential Campaign Trail; he was being interviewed by Barbara Walters, and she posed him a question which evidently caught him off guard. Walters asked Bush if he was a Christian. Bush visibly faltered, cast his eyes down for a moment, and then answered, "If by being a Christian, you ask if I am 'Born Again', then yes, I am a Christian". I came straight out of my chair because no truly Born Again Christian would have parsed their words so carefully. However, an occultist, which Bush certainly was by virtue of his life-long membership in the Illuminist Masonic secret society of Skull & Bones, would have answered precisely this way. Occultists claim to be Born Again , and they are filled with religious ecstasy when the spirit of Lucifer sweeps through them upon Initiation.
Now, let us return to our discussion of this Phoenix Bird. Listen to the explanation given by a radical feminist, Barbara Walker, in her occult book, Now Is The Dawning , p. 281. Egyptians believed that the Phoenix was the representative of a god who "rose to heaven in the form of a morning star, like Lucifer, after his fire-immolation of death and rebirth ..."
Wow! In one sweet, short, and simple sentence, we have conclusive proof that the Phoenix bird is a symbol of Lucifer !
Listen now to the testimony of another former witch, William Schnoebelen, in his book, Satan's Door Revisited , p. 4. "The Phoenix, of Bunnu is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt ... This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who ... will one day rise triumphant. This [belief] also relates to the raising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic 'christ'."
To prevent most people from associating the Masonic Eagle with the ancient Phoenix, Freemasons changed the Phoenix to an Eagle, and began to refer to it as an Eagle. However, two Masonic authors blow the lid off that change in symbolism.
Manly P. Hall, in his book, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry , states, "These were the immortals to whom the term 'phoenix' was applied, and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird, now called an eagle , a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem ." [p. 108; Emphasis added]
Albert Pike, in Magnum Opus, writes, "... the Eagle was the living Symbol of Egyptian God Mendes ... and the representative of the Sun ..." [p. xviii]
In one sentence, we see the admission that the Phoenix Bird of Ancient Satanic Egypt was changed into the Masonic Eagle and then Pike admits that the Eagle is the Symbol of the Sun God and of the God of Mendes, both symbols being common Satanic symbols of Satan/Lucifer !
Remember also the Satanic meaning of the phrase depicted below the symbol depicted below the Eagles -- "DEUS MEUMQUE JUS". As we explained in free11, this is a typical Satanic Latin phrase, meaning, "... Masons are saying that they are "using occult methods", through Lucifer, to achieve their Rights and Justice." [Read free11 for full details]
But why a two-headed Eagle be adopted by Masonry,
instead of only a one-headed Eagle? Masonic author, R. Swinburne Clymer,
writing in The Mysteries of Osiris
, 1951, explains. "When they [pagans]
desired to express the renewal, or beginning, of the year, they represented it
in the form of a door-keeper. It could easily be distinguished by the
attributes of a key ... At times, they gave it two heads, back to back ... In
time, this [back-to-back key symbol] became the double-headed Eagle of symbolic
Masonry." [p. 42]
TRIANGLES
The triangle is one of the most used occultic symbols. A triangle with its point downward represents the deity and is called the Deity's Triangle, or the Water Triangle. With one point up, it is called the Earthly Triangle, Pyramid Triangle, or the Fire Triangle. These two definitions of the triangle are standard occult belief. From whence did they come? They came from a Masonic book, Symbolism of the Eastern Star, by Shirley Plessner, Cleveland, Ohio, Gilbert Publishing Co., 1956, p. 18. Robert Macoy said the same thing in Adoptive Rite Ritual , [Virginia: Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply co., 1897, p. 237].
However, this latter representation of the triangle,
with the point upward, is the symbol of the Perfect
or Divine Man!
Notice this occult symbol portrays "Perfect Man and Woman"
within a circle, which is within a square [representing creation], which is
within a triangle [godhood], which is surrounded by the largest circle.
Notice that the triangle here is with its point upward, signifying the Divinity of Man
.
Another Masonic writer who stated that Man can become Perfected or Divine is George H. Steinmetz, writing in, Freemasonry: Its Hidden Meaning, New York, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., 1948, p. 63. Also, Steinmetz wrote this belief in his book, The Lost Word: Its Hidden Meaning , New York, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., 1953, p. 148.
Another Masonic writer, J.D. Buck, blasphemously writes, "It is far more important that men should strive to become Christs than that they should believe that Jesus was Christ." [J.D. Buck, Mystic Masonry , Illinois: Indo-American Book Co., 1913, Sixth Edition, p. 138] Let us hear that terribly blasphemous statement again :
"It is far more important that men should strive to become Christs than that they should believe that Jesus was Christ."
Once again, Masonry is revealed to NOT BE CHRISTIAN , in any way, shape, or form. But, this statement denies the unique Deity of Jesus Christ; therefore, Freemasonry teaching qualifies as being part of the forces of Antichrist. Listen:
1 John 2:22 -- "Who is such a liar as he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who habitually denies and refuses to acknowledge the Father and the Son. No one who habitually denies or disowns the Son even has the Father." [Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary ]
1 John 4:3 -- "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."
2 John 1:7 -- "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
In addition to denying that Jesus is the Christ come in flesh, this statement also teaches that man can save himself. Obviously, Freemasonry cannot be considered Christian in any way, shape, or form when it teaches this heresy straight out of the pit of Satan's Hell.
Now, let us return to the subject of the Triangle pointing upward representing the Perfect or Divine Man; Masonic writer Albert Churchward states standard occult belief when he further identifies the Upright Triangle. Churchward writes that this triangle, with point up, represents Set! The name, Set, is one of the Infernal Names of Satan, as listed in the Satanic Bible written by Satanic High Priest, Anton LaVey! [Churchward's book was, Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man , London: George Allen and Company, Ltd., 1913, Second Edition, p. 189, 309, 471.]
Masonic authors William Meyer and J.S.M. Ward, also wrote that this type triangle was worn in India by followers of Shiva, who wear it in their foreheads! Shiva is another Infernal Name listed in the Satanic Bible as another name for Satan! {Meyer wrote this in, The Order of the Eastern Star, p. 20; Ward wrote this information in, Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods, London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent and Co., Ltd., 1921, p. 10-11. Occult writer, R.P. Lawrie Krishna said the same thing in The Lamb Slain -- Supreme Sacrifice .
THE HEXAGRAM
The Hexagram is formed by uniting the Water Triangle with the Fire Triangle, forming the six-pointed star, otherwise known as the Seal of Solomon . This symbol is a counterfeit Star of David, the national symbol of God's Chosen Nation, Israel. The difference is that this occult seal is formed by the triangles interlocking, while the two triangles of the Star of David lie flat against each other.
Masonic author, Mary Ann Slipper, writing in Symbolism of the Eastern Star, 1927, on page 14, makes a most telling admission, when she says, "The six pointed star is used in Masonic work and is also found in other well known secret orders." Another Eastern Star book, The Second Mile , understates the impact of the hexagram when it says, "... the six pointed star is a very ancient symbol and one of the most powerful."
No kidding! The hexagram is really a most powerful symbol, to witches, sorcerers, and magicians! The hexagram is used in all sorts of magic, witchcraft, occultism and the casting of zodiacal horoscopes. Because it has six points, and because it contains a '666 ', the hexagram is considered to be Satan's most powerful symbol. Look at the hexagram above. The first six is formed by the sides of each triangle facing the clockwise direction; the second six is formed by the sides of each triangle formed by facing the counterclockwise direction; the third six is formed by the sides of the inner hexagon.
Two witches explain further that the hexagram was used as a "stand-by for Magicians and Alchemists. The Sorcerers believed it represented the footprint of a special kind of demon called a 'trud', and used it in ceremonies both to call up demons and to keep them away." [Gary Jennings, Black Magic, White Magic, Eau Claire, WI, The Dial Press, 1964, p. 51. Also Harry E. Wedeck, Treasury of Witchcraft , New York, Philosophical Library, 1961, p. 135]
Take another look at the above hexagram; it is used to conjure up demons, making them appear in this dimension to do the bidding of the witch. The symbols inside the hexagram are for that purpose. Former Illuminist Satanist Doc Marquis confirms that hexagrams are used to call forth demons to place spells and curses on the intended victim. The word, HEX , comes from this practice.
The hexagram is also a symbol of the sex act and reproduction. Masonic author, Albert G. Mackey provides us with the occult explanation in his book, The Symbolism of Freemasonry, [p. 195, 1869 A.D.] The triangle pointing downward "is a female symbol corresponding to the 'yoni' and the upward pointing triangle is the male, the 'lingam'. When the two triangles are interlaced, it represents the union of the active and passive forces in nature; it represents the male and female elements." [Also explained in Did You Know? Vignettes in Masonry from the Royal Arch Mason Magazine , Missouri Lodge of Research, 1965, p. 132, Wes Cook, Editor]
If you have not figured it out already, the occultist, the paganist, worships sex ; in fact, they worship most everything in Nature, perfectly fulfilling the Biblical definition of a paganist in Romans 1:25, "Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator ..." I cannot help but think continuously of this verse as I am wading through the mountains of Masonic literature, as it is absolutely full of assorted worship of every conceivable pagan belief throughout the centuries and from every continent on earth. Truly, Albert Pike, Grand Commander of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, was right when he bragged, "Freemasonry is identical with the Mysteries".
Speaking of the sexual connotation of the hexagram, another witch revealed, "When the male triangle penetrates the female triangle, it produces the six pointed crest of Solomon or hexagram, the most wicked symbol in witchcraft". [David J. Meyer, Dancing With Demons: The Music's Real Master ]
The hexagram is the sign used in the Royal Arch in Freemasonry. Masonic author Wes Cook, writing in Did You Know? Vignettes in Masonry from the Royal Arch Mason Magazine, [Missouri Lodge of Research, 1965, p. 132] stated that the hexagram represented "balance and harmony" in all facets of the world. Another Masonic publication links the hexagram with the infamous Chinese YANG AND YIN symbol. ["The Significant Numbers", Short Talk Bulletin , September, 1956, Vol. 34, No. 9, p. 5]
In summary, the hexagram IS the most wicked, and one of the most powerful, of all symbols in witchcraft. It is used to call forth demons into this dimension, to communicate with the dead, to describe sex acts, and to represent false and pagan gods such as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. [Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated , Dr. Cathy Burns, p. 39]
For the sake of time and space, we will have to stop here. In the next few articles, we shall present more Satanic symbols which the Freemasons love dearly. We will talk about Pentagrams, the Circle, the Yin and Yang, the Serpent, assorted animals, insects, and the Bees with or without their hive. Stay with us to more clearly see the thorough depth, height, and width of the Satanism of which Freemasonry is composed. Once you have finished this series of articles, you will only ask yourself how and why you could not have seen this truth earlier.
The Bible clearly states that ALL sin is forgivable. If you have been involved with Freemasonry, you can turn to the Savior for forgiveness and restoration with Him. 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.
