NEWS BRIEF: "Bush Reaffirms References to God in Pledge, National Motto", Fox News, 11/13/2002.
"WASHINGTON — President Bush signed into law on Wednesday a bill reaffirming — with a slap at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — references to God in the Pledge of Allegiance and national motto. Bush signed the legislation without comment. It reinforces support for the words "under God" in the pledge, and for "In God we trust" as the national motto. The measure was approved unanimously in the Senate and drew just five no votes in the House. Congress rushed to act after the federal appeals court in California ruled in June that the phrase "under God," inserted into the pledge by Congress in 1954, amounted to a government endorsement of religion in violation of the constitutional separation of church and state.
'The legislation faulted the court for its 'erroneous rationale' and 'absurd result."
American Christians by the many thousands are probably breathing a sigh of relief, actually believing that President Bush has taken an action which demonstrates that he is truly, genuinely Born Again, and is finally taking an action that is defending our Christian way of life. If this is the way in which you are thinking, we gently ask you to consider the following treatise on this subject. We will first examine the Biblical doctrine as to what a statement affirming the belief in God really means, and then we shall examine the Masonic statement in God. Please stay with us for some important revelations.
"YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? YOU DO WELL"!
James 2:19 -- "You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as [1] make a man's hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]!" [Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
The Apostle James has just told each person who has ever lived since he penned these words, that no one can be saved simply because they profess a belief in God! Even the demons believe in God, and they are certainly not saved. Yet, tens of thousands of earnest Christians erroneously believe that a person who believes in God is a Christian and in right standing with Jesus Christ! We are called "Christian" because we place our trust in Jesus Christ and follow Him! We are not called "Christian" because we profess a belief in "God"; in fact, as I have researched the occult these past 16 years, I have seen many occult writers profess "God", when certainly their Deity was not Jesus Christ. Yet, many Christians who should know better believe that a profession of "God" equals Christianity.
This false understanding is the centerpiece of the deception Freemasonry has pulled over the eyes of Christians for the past 300 years! They insist that, because they profess a belief in God, and because they hold that their Christian Lodges hold the King James Bible dearly, they are Christian!
What they do not tell you is that the God they worship is not the God of the Holy Bible, nor is He Jesus Christ. What they further do not tell you is that, while Masonic Lodges in Christian lands say they revere the Bible, the Jew and the Muslim Mason reveres his own Scripture! Listen to Albert Pike explain this to you, bearing in mind that this paragraph appeared in the Foreward of most Masonic Bibles prior to World War II.
"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 the Compass, properly understood, are the Great Lights by which a Mason must walk and work." [Morals and Dogma, Albert Pike, p. 11; Emphasis was in the original]
Pike's statement
is so startling because it is so unbiblical! Yet, all these Masons profess a
belief in God -- the God of their own religion! Notice these two things about
Pike's statement:
1). Since Freemasonry recognizes the spiritual validity of all other religions, it calls Jesus a liar! Listen to Jesus' Words: "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me." [John 14:6] Thus does Freemasonry make a mockery of Jesus, as it recognizes the validity of other religions.
This fact is the reason President Bush characterized Islam as a "religion of peace", and reiterated that his government recognized it as such ["Bush Embraces Islam as Peaceful Faith", Fox News, 11/13/2002] Colin Powell went further the very next day, accusing "Conservative" Christian leader Falwell as propagating "hatred against Muslims" and warning that it must stop ["Powell attacks Christian right", Guardian Unlimited, 11/15/2002]
2) The Apostle Paul affirms that we are saved through Jesus' Grace, and through that Grace alone. Listen: "For by grace are ye saved through faith." Yet, here we see the Salvation Plan as espoused by this remark of Pike, above:
For Christian Masons -- Holy Bible + Masonic Square and Compass "properly understood"
For Jewish Masons --- Hebrew Pentateuch + Masonic Square and Compass "properly understood"
For Muslim Masons -- Koran + Masonic Square and Compass "properly understood"
Can you see now how false Freemasonry is, even though each and every Mason -- whether "Christian", Jewish, Muslim -- professes a belief in God? Once you properly understand the true historic influence Freemasonry exerted during the time of the founding of our great country, and once you understand that they reverted to "double-speak" in order to deceive the many Christians during this time, you will understand the the profession "In God We Trust" and other references to God in our official literature, is the Masonic God, whom we have proven to be the many gods of the ancient pagan faiths! [Read FREE002].
Then, once you understand that the secret society of which President Bush is a lifelong Adept -- Skull and Bones -- is Black Magick Freemasonry, you will understand that the "God" he just reaffirmed is the Masonic God! Now, let us examine this issue from a Biblical perspective:
FREEMASONRY BELIEF IN GOD WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST IS MEANINGLESS; SUCH BELIEF WILL NOT DELIVER YOU TO HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY!!
Freemasons trumpet their belief in "GOD" and ascribe to
Him many of the correct Biblical attributes. They believe this affirmation will
deliver them to that "Heavenly City Made Without Hands", to enjoy
eternity in the company of other Masons. This belief, they say, makes them "Christian".
Today, we will show, Biblically, that one can believe in One God, with many
attributes listed in the Bible, yet not be Christian, and definitely not be
saved.
Many, many Freemasons have written me, complaining vociferously that I am all wrong about Freemasonry being of Antichrist, or of being evil [See FREE01, "Freemasonry Teaching About Jesus Christ"]. They point out to me the many good works that Freemasons have done through the centuries; they point out to me that, since they believe in God, and since American Freemasons hold to the Holy Bible as "their" highest spiritual Light, they must be Christian. And, the assumption is that Freemasons definitely must be saved.
Today, we shall prove from Scripture that this is not the case. A person and/or
an organization may believe in right doctrines of God of the Holy Bible and
yet be neither Christian nor saved for eternity. [We are assuming, for the sake
of this discussion, that Freemasonry holds to all the correct Biblical doctrines
of God; this is not the case, but for the sake of this discussion, we will assume
this to be true].
First, let us examine what Freemasons believe about God:
1) "Free Masonry has nothing to do with an antichrist. It requires a belief in God, almighty. It recommends that all members be active in their churches and support their particular religion ... Most of the lodge teachings are taken from the Holy Bible itself." [Email from a Freemason]
First of all, this first sentence is completely wrongheaded and ill-formed about what Freemasonry actually teaches. We show conclusively, quoting from Freemasonry teachings about Jesus Christ, and then comparing them to Scripture, that Freemason teaching perfectly fulfills the Biblical definition of the forces of Antichrist {See FREE01, "Teachings of Jesus Christ"]
Secondly, this statement accurately states Freemasonry belief. They do require a belief in God for someone to be a member. But, the Apostle James says that this is not enough for salvation, as we stated earlier! "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." [James 2:19] All Biblical teaching about devils is that devils are not, cannot, and will never be, saved. They are the eternal enemies of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ. Yet, here we are told that, even though they believe in God so completely and totally that such belief causes them to tremble with fear and dread, they are not saved!! Do not be deceived: many, many people will find themselves in Hell who believed in God all their lives.
2) "This is the real idea of the Ancient Nations: GOD, the Almighty Father and Source of all; His Thought, conceiving the whole universe, and willing its creation; His Word, uttering that Thought and thus becoming the Creator ... in whom was Life and Light, the Life of the Universe." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma", Page 575, Teaching of the 26th Degree)
The Bible does teach that God is the Almighty Father, the Source of all things, the Creator of the Universe and its creation. The Bible also says in John 1, that the Word of God created the Universe and all living beings within. Of course, in John 1:14, we discover that the "God" Who created the universe is none other than Jesus Christ!! So, this Freemasonry teaching that "God" created the entire Universe is only a half-truth, a most dangerous thing!
Notice the hint in this statement of faith by Albert Pike, that the God of American Freemasonry is the same as the "God" of all the Ancient Nations. Of course, all the gods of the ancient nations were false, as we will see, below. But, this does not keep Freemasonry from espousing this belief, which they do vigorously.
3) "While all these faiths assert their claim to the exclusive possession of the Truth, Masonry inculcates its old doctrine, and no more ... That God is One; that His Thought uttered in His Word, created the Universe, and preserves it by those Eternal Laws which are the expression of that Thought: that the Soul of Man, breathed into him by God, is immortal as His Thoughts are; that he is free to do evil or to choose good, responsible for his acts and punishable for his sins; that all evil and wrong and suffering are but temporary, the discords of one great Harmony, to the great, harmonic final chord and cadence of Truth, Love, Peace and Happiness, that will ring forever and ever under the Arches of Heaven, among all the Stars and Worlds, and in all souls of men and Angels." [Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma"-- Page 576-577, Teachings of the 26th Degree).
There is much truth in this statement, above. a) God is One; b) God's Thought [actually Jesus Christ] created the universe by His Word, and He preserves His creation daily; c) God did create man and He did breathe into him an immortal soul; d) God did give man a free will, to do good or evil, and He will judge men according to their actions and will punish sin; e) In the end of time, Messiah [Jesus Christ] will rule the new world [Heaven] in peace, and harmony, and Truth.
Yet, for all this Truth, Freemasonry cannot save because they believe in "God the Almighty Father" without believing the correct doctrine about Jesus Christ. Let us now examine the Biblical teaching about anyone who believes in "God" alone.
I am amazed every time I go shopping at the local grocery store. People fill their carts with expensive brand name products refusing to purchase the cheaper store brands. The general public seems to be unaware that many of the products are manufactured at the same location containing the same ingredients.
So one can conclude that the price difference between Kellogg's "Fruit Loops" and the store brand's "Fruity O's" is on account that someone needs to foot the bill for Toucan Sam to act in all those silly television commercials. In short we could explain it this way: there is generally one product with many different packages.
Is religion the same way? Do all religions worship the same God? Can it be said then, that all the world's religions are like different store brands containing the same product?
There are those who believe that accepting the existence of a supreme God is enough to ensure eternal life. At a time when almost every nation had their own "god" we see the God of the Bible separating Himself from those "imaginations of men" by stating, "And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish." (Deuteronomy 8:19)
The Bible warns of worshipping "other gods". These "other gods" are described in Psalm 96:5 where it says, "For all the gods of the nations are idols...". It is important to understand that an "idol" is a product of man's imagination.
How does someone determine whether or not their "God" is the true God? The answer is found in the Bible. The Scriptures describe God in great detail. If someone is worshipping a "God" which is not the God the Bible describes it is a false god, a product of man's imagination.
Let us consider an example of this. We all have seen the television commercials sponsored by the Mormon church. And have heard them bid us to call their toll free number in order to learn more about God. What "God" is it that they are speaking about? Is it the God of the Bible?
The Mormon prophet and founder Joseph Smith taught, "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens... We have supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see." (Teachings of the prophet Joseph Smith, page 345)
It doesn't take a master theologian to realize that the Mormon God differs greatly from the God of the Bible. The Bible describes the true God as existing from all eternity, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hast formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God." (Psalm 90:2).
"Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting." (Psalm 41:13)
The Bible is very clear that God was not at one time a mortal man. So what is our logical conclusion? The Mormon God is simply another god.
Now at this point I can just hear the outcry of individuals saying, "Who do you think you are by saying that the Mormons are not worshipping the true God!"
Hey, don't blame me! God has made Himself very clear. God has given us His perfect complete Word (The Bible) in which He describes Himself. When any religion or group teaches a concept of God which does not agree with the Bible we know that it is referring to a false god an "imagination of man".
Looking to the Bible we see another criteria which separates the only true God from the false gods which inhabit the imaginations of men.
God has sent His Son into the world to be the Savior of mankind. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Bible states plainly that no man will enter heaven except through Him.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
And for those who might fail to understand the clarity of Christ's words, "no man cometh unto the Father but by me" , we look to the book of Acts where it is said, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
Now, why is it that we have labored to demonstrate that men will only enter heaven through Jesus Christ?
The Bible teaches that any individual, church, or organization who denies the truth concerning Jesus does not know God.
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father." (1 John 2:22, 23) The Bible sets forth Jesus as the eternal Son of God. (John 1:1) Jesus came to this world to provide a way for men to be saved.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
You see, God created man in order that He might have a relationship with him. However, the first man sinned, that is, he rebelled against God. The consequence for this rebellion was death. (Genesis 3:17) The first man was created perfect, but on account of sin, he became a sinner. Dogs have puppies, cats have kittens, and sinners have sinners. We are all born into this world facing the consequences of our sin, eternal separation from God. (Romans 5:12)
The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death...". Notice, it does not say "sins". One sin is all it takes to place a "death sentence" over our heads . We need to be saved!
In spite of our condition God loved us enough to send His Son into this world to pay the price for our sins.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
Jesus paid in full the punishment we deserved. The Bible declares that anyone who places their trust for salvation in Christ alone will receive from God a full pardon, not because of any good thing we have done, but because we have placed all of our trust in Christ to save us.
So that there would be no confusion on this matter Jesus Himself said, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)
Friend, do you refuse to accept that Jesus Christ is the only way to God? If
you do it is important for you to understand that on the authority of the Scriptures,
You do not know God.
Let us go back for a moment to 1 John 2:22-23, quoted above, for its teachings are so central to our discussion here, we need to look at it again.
1 John 2:22-23, This is possibly the most important Scripture in our entire study. The Amplified Bible Commentary renders this Scripture in a most powerful way. Listen: "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 the Son even has the Father."
Did you get that, Freemasons? Since your teachings habitually deny the correct teachings of Who Jesus Christ is, you do not even have the Father God whose Name you constantly invoke!!! Remember, God decides who is saved and who is not, not any mere man, nor his deluded teachings.
This is serious stuff, because your eternal destiny is at stake. Your precious soul, for whom Jesus Christ died, is at stake. It will do you no good to worship the Father if you deny the Son. Believe me, Freemasons deny that Jesus Christ is God come in human flesh [See FREE01 for the full Freemason text]
The Old Testament Bible is set in the context of Covenants into which God entered into with Israel. There were two Covenants, actually. The first Covenant was unconditional, depending not one whit on Israel's response. This was the Abrahamic Covenant, by which God established Israel as His Chosen Nation and the Jews as His Chosen People. This Covenant will stand forever and is the reason God brought Israel back to her land in 1948. [See NEWS1010, "Israel Key To End Time Events"] This Covenant is with national Israel and is eternal. The second Covenant was spiritual and was made with Moses, as God established the spiritual foundation for the new Israel, which was about to enter into her Promised Land. This First Spiritual Covenant was abolished when Jesus Christ died on the cross and resurrected, as the writer to the Hebrews so eloquently states.
There is a HUGE difference between the First Spiritual Covenant established between God and Moses, and the Second Spiritual Covenant established between God and God, I.e., between God the Father and God the Son [Jesus Christ].
Everything changed when Jesus established the Second Spiritual Covenant. Now, God the Father has vested Jesus Christ will ALL authority, ALL power, and ALL judgment!! Listen to the Scriptures: All authority, power, judgment -- a) "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. [1 Corinthians 15:23-24] So, at the End, Jesus Christ will have established all authority and power and then He delivers this kingdom to the Father. b) "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man." (John 5:26-27) Did you understand this Scripture? God has given Jesus Christ all authority in final judgment to Jesus Christ!! Tremble, oh man, who would deny the key doctrines of Jesus Christ.
Let Jesus Christ Himself have the final Word on this terribly solemn subject.
He is describing, prophetically, the End of the Age final judgment throne, and
surprisingly, many people facing this throne judgment are so-o-o-o-o surprised
to discover that they are going to eternal Hell rather than eternal Heaven.
They protest!!!!
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
[Matthew 7:22-23] You know what iniquity is; it means sinfulness primarily, but also means "rebellion". The highest rebellion possible is that rebellion which refuses to accept the claims of Jesus Christ as to Who He said He was, namely God come in human flesh to become the only way to reach God the Father. Freemasonry rebels against this clear teaching dramatically, and forcefully, and then has the audacity to scream that, because they invoke the name of God the Father, that makes them Christian!!
Then, in this passage, above, Jesus Christ makes it real clear that this type of rebellion against His teachings are a huge part of the reason these people are going to Hell rather than Heaven. Again, listen to His Words, given in parable.
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it" [Matthew 7:24-27].
The first person heard Jesus' sayings, His teachings, and accepted and obeyed
them. His spiritual house was built upon a rock. When Final Judgment came, [likened
to the rains, floods, and winds], his house stood, for it was founded upon a
rock. And, Who is called the Rock repeatedly throughout Scripture? Jesus Christ!!
This man is going to Heaven.
But, the second person heard Jesus' sayings and teachings and did not accept them and did not obey them. His spiritual house was built upon the sand. When Final Judgment came [likened to the rains, floods, and winds], this second man's house fell. Jesus added the words, "and great was the fall of it", simply to illustrate the terrible tragedy of a man losing his soul to Hell, especially when that man thought for sure he was going to Heaven.
Oh, Freemasons, read Matthew 7:22-27 over again and again and again. I pray that you will see that, your refusal to give Jesus Christ the preeminence in your religion called Freemasonry will land your soul in Hell. Will you turn, that you might be saved?
WHOM DO MASONS REALLY WORSHIP?
We shall again be quoting from Albert Pike's monumental Freemason book entitled, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient And Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry," considered by many to be the absolute authority of Freemasonry. Then, we shall be comparing these individual points with the clear and absolute teaching of the Holy Bible. Our subject this week shall be worship; Whom do the Freemasons worship? This is a mighty important subject, since the God of the Bible clearly teaches that He is a jealous God,, and will not allow any other god or gods to be worshipped instead of Him. God's warning in Deuteronomy 4:23-24 is so instructive, I have reprinted it here; I encourage you to ponder carefully the Words of an Almighty God, Creator, Ruler, Judge, Husband of Israel, Father, "Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
"For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God." The end result of someone worshipping a false god is "a consuming fire".
The one exception to this prohibition, of course, is Jesus Christ, as Jesus stated "Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." This included the power, or authority, to receive worship from men; in fact, Jesus taught that He is the only path to the Father, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." In other words, the only way anyone can worship God the Father is through God the Son, and His name is Jesus Christ!! Last week, we showed you that Freemasons do not worship God the Father of the Hebrew Scriptures; rather, they worship all the gods of the Ancient Mysteries. In the week before last, we showed you that Freemasons do not venerate the Jesus Christ of the Bible; rather, they believe Jesus was created by an inferior god, Ialdaboth, and that He was a human in appearance only. The Christ Consciousness, according to Freemasonry, fell on the human Jesus at the Jordan River Baptism, and left Jesus at the Cross, where He suffered and died in appearance only!! Wow! No one who believes this about Jesus Christ can call himself a Christian. Because, according to Jesus' Words, He does not consider such a one as a Christian. He considers such a person to be deceived, or a Counterfeit Christian!
In section, we shall be studying whom it is that Freemasons worship. Let us return to the greatest Freemason who ever lived, and his most famous book, "Morals and Dogma". Pike said that "... Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries ..." (On Page 624, 28th Degree). Indeed as I studied this book and others, I am amazed at how many stories of the gods and goddesses from the many Ancient Religions are written in full detail, as instructions to Freemasons!
Before we begin our study today, you need to know the false teaching that Masons use to try to justify their blatant worship of Nature. They will tell you that they do not worship the object in Nature, such as the Sun; rather, they say they worship God through the Sun. Now, while this argument may seem logical to human reasoning, God does not feel this way. Since God is a jealous God, He is also very particular as to how men worship Him, how they attempt to approach Him. Please understand this basic Truth: God determines how men worship Him, and He determines who is saved and who isn't. After all, every man on earth was wrong about the flood, weren't they? Noah and his family were the only ones whom God considered to be saved. The jeers of the multitude were swept away when the floods gushed!
We must be very, very careful that we approach, and worship, God in just the way He has proscribed, for He will reject the one who tries to worship Him in another way. I encourage you to read Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy very carefully, noting the extremely detailed instructions God gave to the Jews as to how they were to worship Him. Not only were God's instructions very detailed, He also killed some people who were foolish enough to think that they could change the worship just a little bit!
And, God never allowed any person to approach Him in worship through any of His created objects of nature! In fact, God firmly forbids it! The Apostle Paul spoke directly to this subject, in Romans 1:21-24, "...when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image ..." Remember these words, made God into "an image", for it will be important later on. What might be another word for "image"? How about "symbols", "allegories"?
Then, in verse 25, Paul cut the ground out from anyone who thinks they can worship the created object rather than God, when he said, "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped the creature more than the Creator ..."
But, the Mason will interrupt here, claiming again that he worships God through the created object, not the object itself. God will not accept this type of worship. He forbade the worship of any images, period "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, ..." (Exodus 20:4-5) Then, God delivered the clincher, "I will not give my glory unto another." (Isaiah 48:11)
Listen to Albert Pike again in his monumental Masonic book, "Morals and Dogma".,
"... Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries ..." (On Page 624, 28th Degree). But, Pike wanted to really make sure we got the message, when, on Page 329, "... we reproduce the speculations of the Philosophers, the Kabalists, the Mystagogues, and the Gnostics." In other words, whatever the Ancients believed, Freemasonry embraces too. It can be no other way, if Freemasonry is going to be one of the major forces which unites all religions into one global religion, just as the Scripture foretells.
With this in mind, let us see whom Ancients (Freemasons) give their worship and to whom they extend glory. (We will be quoting from "Morals and Dogma" unless otherwise specified. Oh, yes, all underlining and bold text is mine, for emphasis.)
"The Sun, Archimagus, worshipped as Mithras, the Mediator, the Invincible.."
P.612
"The Sun and Moon of the Alchemists give stability to the Philosophical
Stone .." P.776.
"Sun and Moon considered the cause of the generations of the earth ..."
P.475
"Sun and Moon are the emblems of the two Divine sexes ..." P. 305
"The Sun, called Heliogabalus, and adored under the form of a black stone."
P. 775
"The Sun God finally victorious over the Serpent." P. 496
"The Sun God rides on the winged horse, but the Serpent bites the horse's
heels." P.499
"... traces of the worship of the Sun yet linger in all religions."
P. 483. {Remember, Freemasonry claims to be "identical" with all the
ancient religions, P.624}
"You have ... heard much of the ancient worship of the Sun, the Moon, and
other bright luminaries of Heaven, and of the Elements and Powers of Universal
Nature." [P. 583]
"Faith ... was represented by the Sun." [P.727]
"The Sun was figuratively said to die and be born again at the Winter Solstice;"
[P.464]
{The bold and italics were in the original, for emphasis}
"... the filthy and ill-omened He-Goat dragged him [the Sun] down toward the Winter Solstice. Arriving there, they said he [the Sun] had been slain and had gone to the realm of darkness. Remaining there three days, he [the Sun] rose again, and again ascended ... Soon they personified the Sun and worshipped him under the name of Osiris ..." [p. 12]
"The obelisk, resembling the shape of a flame, caused these monuments to be consecrated to the Sun and to Fire ... the obelisks were erected in honor of the Sun." [P. 13]
Now, I want to comment on most of the paragraphs, 1-13, above. I did not want to comment on them as we first examined them, because I wanted you to get the full impact of this Pagan blasphemy. Now, let me point out some of the extent of the blasphemy, some of which you might not be aware.
Paragraph 1 -- "The Sun was worshipped ..." Throughout the Bible, God only was worthy to be worshipped. Throughout the Bible angels had to constantly forbid men from worshipping them, because the angels were not worthy to be venerated {Revelation 22:8-9}
But, look at the word "Mediator" in this sentence. The Sun is said to be the "Mediator", a term applied only to Jesus Christ {"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5; See also Hebrews 8:6; 9:15; 12:24. What tremendous blasphemy against God the Father and God the Son Jesus Christ!!}
Paragraph 2 -- "The Sun and Moon give stability .. the Philosopher's Stone". Again, the implication is to the Rock of Jesus Christ, Who gives us the anchor of our soul {1 Cor 10:4}
Paragraph 3 -- "The Sun and Moon considered to be the cause of the generations of the earth". Generations can only refer to mankind, so the Sun and Moon must be creators of man, another Pagan blasphemy against Jesus Christ, Creator of all {John 1:2-4}
Paragraph 4 -- "Sun and Moon ... Divine sexes"!! This is old fashioned witchcraft, dating back 5,000 years to the Egyptian Mysteries. This is the concept of Luciferianism, that the Divine Father mated with Mother Earth. Witchcraft, witch---craft!! Witches make no bones about calling their religion "The Craft"; it is no wonder the Masons also call their organization the "Craft", as well as their Second Degree, the Fellow-Craft.
Paragraph 5 -- "The Sun adored" --another term of worship.
Paragraph 6/7 -- Finally, the truth wins out, as Pike twice actually uses the words "Sun God" together. Now, we really know whom he is worshipping.
Paragraph 9 -- If the "ancients' worshipped the Sun, Moon, and Heavenly bodies, then so do the Masons, as Pike said, "are identical to the Ancient Mysteries".
Paragraph 10 -- Faith is represented by the Sun! Not faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and His Redeeming work on Calvary, but represented by the Sun?! That dying orb?!
Paragraph 11/12 -- This is the most serious blasphemy, as it drags into the Pagan slime the glorious act whereby Jesus Christ redeemed us from Hell, by providing a way for us to be saved, by becoming born again through His shed blood on Calvary. And, how much more blasphemous can it get than to create the scenario for the Sun to take the place of Jesus Christ on the Cross, where he was killed, lay dead for three [3] days, and be resurrected and ascended back into the Heavens!! Freemasonry is guilty of "speaking glorious things against the Lord of Lords and King of Kings"! Where have I heard that phrase before? The Bible lists this type of blasphemy as indicative of the Antichrist, "And the king [Antichrist] shall do according to his will ... and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that is determined shall be done." {Daniel 11:36}
Once again, Freemasonry fulfills one of the requirements of Antichrist!!
Finally, just in case you aren't convinced about the Nature worship of Freemasonry, you should consider another very old, and venerated, Masonic book, "Egypt The Cradle Of Freemasonry", by Norman Frederick de Clifford, 1902. One of de Clifford's chapters, Chapter 26 starting on Page 387, is entitled, "Sun Worship", and it is a detailed account of the veneration the ancient Egyptians gave the Sun.
Now, you know the true significance of the Sun shining behind the All-Seeing Eye of Lucifer above the unfinished pyramid on the back of your One Dollar Bill and on the Information Awareness Office [NEWS1739].
Sun Worship is the "God" of Freemasonry! One of his names is Baal!
Now, you know the truth. President Bush did not prove his genuine Christianity because he reiterated this Pledge; he reaffirmed this "God" in the Pledge simply because he knows that this "God" was a Masonic god, not the God of the Holy Bible! How long will you continue to be deceived? This type of spiritual and political deception is exactly that of which the Lord warned in Matthew 24:24.
This kind of spiritual deception is another sign the End of the Age is near.
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.
You can contact us by mail or email.
God bless you.
