Walk as children of light 9(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” (Ephesians 5:8-13) PART II – SHAMEFUL CURSES Introduction Having exposed the Luciferian roots of Masonry, this second part is focused on the specific structure of Freemasonry – especially the rituals, oaths and curses that are taken at the various levels • These are the most important aspect of Masonry to consider, because it is these oaths and curses that keep Masons in bondage and which are passed on to their descendants as generational iniquities “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Exodus 20:5-6) • Fortunately, Jesus not only died to take our sins upon His back, but also all curses as well “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13) • Masons and their ancestors, therefore, must renounce these oaths and curses so that Christ Jesus can redeem us from them “But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth.” (2Corinthians 4:2) Structure Freemasonry is organized into an elaborate structure of rites, degrees and orders • Rites represent a series of levels or degrees within a common theme of rituals and oaths There are two primary Rites which grew out of the split in Masonry that occurred between the English (Scottish Rite) and European (York Rite) branches in the 1700s • Orders represent affiliated organizations such as the Shriners (i.e. Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine) Many of the rituals and oaths in these affiliated Orders are similar, with the same intent of deceptively programming the initiates into the underlying Luciferian doctrine of Masonry P.O Box 26747, 6287 Copper Hill Road, Prescott Valley, AZ 86312 Phone/Fax: 928-775-0083 The following diagram shows how these rites and orders are organized: As shown above, the first three degrees in the Blue Lodge are common to both the Scottish and York Rites • The Blue Lodge is so called because the ceiling of the Temple is painted as the sky • The 33rd degree “Grand Sovereign Inspector General” is over both the Scottish and York Rites as well as the Blue Lodge The affiliated organizations or “Auxiliary Bodies” are also under the Grand Sovereign Inspector General • These include the primary women’s organizations, Order of the Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile and the White Shrine • Young men are initiated into the De Molay order, while the young women become members of Job’s Daughters and the Rainbow Girls (but only if their father is a Master Mason or above) Most people, including Masons, believe that the 33rd degree is the highest level, but in fact there are now several organizations over Masonry, including the O.T.O. (Order of the Temple Orientis – see New World Order Part I) which goes to the 97th degree Overseeing all of this hierarchy is the All-Seeing Eye which symbolically represents Satan (no longer called Lucifer after he was thrown out of heaven – Revelation 12:9) and his own hierarchy of “principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) • It is only when Masons reach the 33rd degree that they are fully appraised of the fact that it is Lucifer they worship, equating him with “Adonay” (purposely misspelled) • Even worse, they then call Lucifer the one of light and goodness, while they claim that “Adonay” is of darkness and evil (they do not ever say the name “Jesus” because, of course, it holds power over them) “But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”… 17But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “…if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.” Specifics There is an incredible amount of rituals, oaths, curses, titles, etc. in Freemasonry • The goal in this report is not to cover all of this fully, but rather to bring to the true light (i.e. Jesus Christ) the most significant information Then, you can use this information when dealing with Masons and you will know what to renounce in breaking the curses of Masonry off of you and your family On of the biggest of Masonry’s many secrets is the name of their God • In the lower degrees, they usually use the word “God” or “Great Architect of the Universe” • Many Christians are deceived into thinking that they mean the Judeo-Christian God, the one and only true God of the Universe “Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.” (Deuteronomy 4:39) As the initiate climbs up the ladder of degrees and goes through the various rituals, it ought to become apparent that the “Great Architect” is not the Lord God Almighty, but rather a hodge-podge of various gods • In fact, Freemasonry welcomes into their ranks anyone who believes in a god or Supreme Being of any kind 33rd Degree Mason, author and Masonic scholar, Albert Mackey, writes: “Be assured… that God is equally present with the pious Hindu in the temple, the Jew in the synagogue, the Mohammedan in the mosque, and the Christian in the church.” Author William Schnoebelen (Masonry – Beyond the Light) was a witch and an Episcopalian when he joined the Masons. • When first asked if he believed in “God” he truthfully answered “yes” because his god was Lucifer – but they never ask anyone to identify which god they believe in After 9 years in Freemasonry, Schnoebelen says no Christian brother ever witnessed to him about Jesus but many other witches and Satanists openly talked about Lucifer (one was the Worshipful Master over the lodge) In fact, it is forbidden to utter the name Jesus Christ at any time within the lodge How, then, do so many Christian Masons defend the lodge as being “Christian?” • Either because they are deceived or they know the truth but deny it to outsiders “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” (2Corinthians 4:3-4) For anyone with an open mind would see that, on the surface at least, Masonry welcomes and serves all gods, as affirmed by the “Great Pontiff of Masonry,” Albert Pike, in the so-called “Bible” of Masonry, Morals & Dogma • “Masonry, around whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the Moslem, the Brahmin, the followers of Confucius and Zoroaster, can assemble as brethren and unite in prayer to the one God who is above all the Baalim, must needs leave it to each of the initiates to look for the foundation of his faith and hope to the written scriptures of his own religion.” The term “Baalim” above literally means “false god,” so Pike is saying that all the “gods” are false, except for the “one God who is above all” of them What God might that be? The Secret Name of the Masonic God The Masonic initiate is led to believe from the first degree onward that he will have imparted to him important secrets – secrets so “earth-shattering” that they must be protected by solemn oaths • After the first degree, Entered Apprentice, the initiate learns the secret handshake and the word Boaz, the so-called “kinsman redeemer” (see book of Ruth) Why Boaz? Another carefully contrived use of a real Biblical person, but twisted to their own use. Boaz points to Christ in the Bible but to Lucifer in Masonry • In the second degree, Fellow Craft, the initiate learns that the letter “G” in the center of the Masonic elements of the Compass and the Square over the Bible stands for “God” and for “Geometry” In truth, the higher degrees reveal that the “G” stands for “Generative” as in regenerative, and the Compass and the Square represent the male and female sexual organs locked in intercourse As with all pagan and satanic cults, sex is an important element of worship • Finally, in the third degree, Master Mason, the initiate is promised that he will learn the “great SECRET of Masonry” – the secret name of God After reciting from memory 6 paragraphs of bone-chilling oaths, the initiate is told that this secret name is lost and is given a substitute word instead, “Ma Ha Bone” which is whispered in his ear while he embraces the Worshipful Master of the lodge • Once again, the initiate is purposely deceived. The name isn’t lost, but rather reserved for revelation further on in the Royal Arch Degree, the centerpiece of the York Rite The secret name, JAH-BUL-ON is probably a mystery to most of the initiates, but they are told it is the “divine Logos” or “divine Word” in John 1:1-5 where the Bible clearly says Jesus is the Word The name of the Masonic “god” is actually a combination of three names: JAH referring to Yahweh or Jehovah; BUL meaning Baal, the god of the Bablyonians; and ON is the Egyptian sun god • This name is considered so sacred that it can only be pronounced in the presence of three Royal Arch Masons False Resurrection The rituals of the first three degrees lead to a false resurrection which the initiate acts out with many other participants (see separate copy of the complete rituals of the first three degrees) • The initiate plays the role of Hiram Abiff, the master mason of Solomon’s temple (1Kings 7:13-14) who is killed and then resurrected out of the grave by King Solomon (who is also considered to have been a Mason) • This ceremony ought to be repugnant to any and every Christian, because it is sheer blasphemy to suggest that there is any other way to eternal life but through Jesus Christ “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:15) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) What the initiate doesn’t realize is that this false resurrection is not meaningless fun but rather has serious spiritual consequences • This ritual opens a huge door for Masonry’s true god, Lucifer now Satan, to establish a stronghold within the initiate – even if he is a Christian! The Light of the Destroyer The 17th degree of the Scottish Rite, Knights of the East & West, contains many unholy, evil rituals • The “sacred” word of this degree is Abbadon, which means “destroyer” “And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.” (Revelation 9:11) Everything in Masonry focuses on the “light” • In the 1st degree, Entered Apprentice, the initiate is asked, “What do you desire the most.” The required answer is, “light.” • The same question is asked in the 2nd degree, Fellow Craft, with the required answer this time being, “more light.” However, the “light” that Masonry speaks of is evil and wicked, calling evil good and good evil “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” (Isaiah 5:20) But that is exactly what Masonry does, deceptively in all the levels, but fully revealed in the 33rd degree • Albert Pike, the highest level Mason in the U.S. in the 1800s, wrote: “Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light?… Doubt it not!” Yes, Lucifer was once the “morning star” but that was before he rebelled and was cast out of heaven. It is now Jesus who came and took back that title from the Devil: “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” (Revelation 22:16) • Masonic icon and scholar, Manly P. Hall, writes: “When the Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of LUCIFER are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply this energy.” Yes, Satan has some power and some energy, but it is all for evil: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) “Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Revelation 12:12) • But the resurrection power of Jesus is far beyond anything Satan has to offer: “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” (1John 4:4) The devil deceives by turning the truth upside down or inside out, counterfeiting everything of God – but in claiming the light, he makes a fatal mistake Jesus, and only Jesus, is the light of the world: “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12) • This mistake is ultimately revealed in the need for Masonry (as well as witchcraft, Satanism and all other blasphemous cults) to do their work in great secrecy – the hallmark of evil “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” (John 3:19) Baphomet and the Blazing Star Albert Pike further wrote that Satan “is not a person, but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over physical generation (i.e. sex) under the mythologic and horned form of the God PAN; thence, came the he-goat of the Sabbat (i.e. a witches’ festival), brother of the Ancient Serpent and the Light Bearer.” • This “horned form” and “he-goat” is called Baphomet in Masonry • This is the idol that the Knights Templar worshipped – a man with the head of a goat – which supposedly taught the Templars magical secrets Masonic scholar, Manly Hall identifies Baphomet with the satanic “Goat of Mendes” which is probably the best known representation of Lucifer in all of occultism • Freemason and founder of modern Satanism, Aleister Crowley, took the name Baphomet when he assumed leadership of the O.T.O. (Order of the Eastern Templars) which oversees all of Masonry • Kenneth Grant, the modern world leader of the O.T.O., claims that Baphomet conceals a formula of homosexual sex magic from the Templars This representation of Satan goes way back to the ancient “mystery” religions of Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-10) Cave paintings in Ariege, France, show a shaman or “sorcerer” wearing a horned costume Perhaps the most well known and significant symbol of witchcraft is the pentagram – a five-pointed star that is inverted (i.e. the point is at the bottom not the top) • In Masonry, they call the pentagram the “blazing star” and sometimes show the goat’s head within the star In the 1st degree, the initiate is taught that: “The ornaments of a lodge are the Mosaic pavement, the indented tessel, and the blazing star • Albert Pike writes that the “BLAZING STAR of five points… represented Sirius, or the Dog-star. Sirius is magically regarded as the most dangerous star in the sky The Egyptians suffered the most during its time of ascendancy, reaching its apogee on July 23rd, the hottest, driest time of the year when the Nile was at its lowest ebb • This legacy of Sirius carries over into today’s vernacular in which we refer to the time of great heat and humidity from mid-July to mid-August as the “Dog-days of summer” East Meets West Another twisted truth in Masonry that seems all right to the uninformed Christian is the layout of the Blue Lodge Temple • Here we see the Blazing Star pentagram right in the middle of the floor facing the altar in the East toward the counterfeit “Bright Morning star” • Having been told that the symbol “G” represents God, the unknowing and the uncaring, accept all this as being a replica of Solomon’s Temple – but, of course, it’s a distorted and corrupted replica • In fact, Solomon’s Temple – God’s Temple – faces west with the altar and the Holy of Holies on the opposite side of the Masonic Temple “Then He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.” 16So He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house; and there, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.” (Ezekiel 8:15-16) • So again, we see in the Word of God that this false worship of a false sun god is nothing new but rather a continuation of the abominations of the ancient “mystery” religions This is typical of the Satanic Black Mass in which Christian symbols are used in an inverted, backwards or otherwise corrupted manner • Another perversion of the Masonic Temple is calling the North a place of darkness – which was also part of Satan’s original and ongoing corruption of the things of God “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! 13For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north.” (Isaiah 14:12-13) • The Bible states clearly that the north is the dwelling place of God “Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north.” (Psalm 48:2) “Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.” (Ezekiel 1:4) The deception over the direction of the temple was further compounded by Satan when he twisted the meaning of the “star in the east” that the Magi saw after Jesus was born “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” (Matthew 2:1-2) • The wise men came from the east following a star that they saw in the west while they were in the east – “for we have seen His star [while we were] in the East” • These wise men traveled from east to west, so they couldn’t have followed a star in the East So the so-called Eastern Star is not of God but rather is a Satanic counterfeit that has been foisted upon the world and adopted by Masonry as an important symbol of the worship of Lucifer • And, they named their women’s auxiliary group after this representation of Satan Whose Cornerstone? Yet another distortion and corruption of the Bible is the Masonic ritual in the 4th degree, Mark Mason, in the York Rite • Using many occultic symbols, the ritual then goes on to refer to the Keystone, quoting Psalm 118 and making it seem as though they are honoring Christ “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” (Psalm 118:22) • We know from looking at the totality of Scripture that this verse prophetically points to Jesus “Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.” (Ephesians 2:20-21) • In the Masonic ritual their Christ substitute is Hiram Abiff, the temple artisan who supposedly carved the keystone (or cornerstone) of Solomon’s temple As noted earlier, Hiram undergoes a false resurrection which each initiate acts out in the 3rd degree • Now, in this 4th degree, Hiram is used to replace Jesus as the chief cornerstone which plunges the initiate deeply into blasphemy and heresy “You shall have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:3) • Not only do the Masons violate the very first commandment of God, but they also go on to violate the second commandment as well – over and over and over again 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.” (Exodus 20:4-5a) • And again, we see in the continuation of verse 5 that these blasphemies turn into iniquities that are visited down upon the descendents of the fathers (e.g. Masons) to the third and fourth generations For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,” (Exodus 20:3-5) False Communion Not surprisingly, the Masons also pervert the Lord’s communion as well • In many of the rituals the initiate joins the members in drinking toasts to God out of a human skull – sometimes using real blood • For example, this ceremony is used in the Knights Templar initiation replete with triangular tables, black velvet covering, candles, seven silver goblets and a human skull on the Bible! Satan loves triangles from which we get the pentagram – i.e. from 2 overlaid triangles) • The initiate is asked to partake in five toasts (called libations in the ritual), the first four of which are drunk out of the goblets The first three libations “honor” the memory of Masonic heroes King Solomon, Hiram King of Tyre and Hiram Abiff • The fourth libation is drunk by the initiate out of the skull to Simon of Cyrene “Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. 33And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But, when He had tasted it, He would not drink.” (Matthew 27:32-33) Again, to the uniformed Christian this might seem Biblical but Jesus refused the libation! • The initiate is never told to whom the fifth libation is drunk – it is “sealed” This libation must be drunk out of the human skull at which time the initiate is told by the “Eminent Commander” to repeat an oath which says in part: “As the sins of the whole world were once visited upon the head of our Saviour, so may all the sins of the person whose skull this once was… be heaped upon my head, and may this libation appear in judgment against me, should I ever knowingly or willingly violate my most solemn vow of a Knight Templar, so help me God.” How can any Christian take this oath and drink this libation and continue to think that this is a Christian organization? • Unfortunately, for the Christian who knowingly or willingly takes part in this initiation rite, he has violated the Word of God “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (1Corinthians 10:20-21) “Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.” (1Corinthians 11:27-30) • Observers of the Masonic scene say that there is a great deal of sickness and premature death in Masonic households Because these curses not only affect the Masonic member but also his entire household because he is the spiritual covering and his iniquities are visited upon his family Breaking the Curses Therefore, it is necessary for anyone who is a Mason or who has a relative who is a Mason to renounce and break these curses off themselves • It is also highly recommended that everyone do so because we might know whether someone three or four generations back might have been a Mason Therefore, please use the separately printed prayers of renunciation from Isaiah 54 ministries – and do so with someone else, preferably a strong, experienced Christian who is free from any Masonic or witchcraft influence
