Dragon Flood - Part 5

Dragon’s Brew - The Boston Tea Party

Freemasons Dressed as Mohawk Indians Dumping Tea into Boston Harbor

In this post I will demonstrate the manner in which historical accounts of America’s founding as a nation have been fraudulently reported resulting in a false history that hides the influence of Satan and Freemasonry in its inception. No American history book would be complete without an account of what is popularly called The Boston Tea Party. Following is an excerpt from the Wikipedia website that provides historical information on this event.

The Boston Tea Party (referred to in its time simply as "the destruction of the tea" or by other informal names and not celebrated until half a century later,) was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, a city in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the tax policy of the British government and the East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.

I would have you note two things in particular in the above paragraph. The dumping of British tea into Boston Harbor is ascribed to a group known as the Sons of Liberty, and no mention is made of Freemasons. The entire article is silent regarding the involvement of Freemasons. Doing a search on the same Wikipedia site to discover who the Sons of Liberty were, we are provided the following information.

The Sons of Liberty were made up of American patriots that originated in the pre-independence North American British colonies. The group was formed to protect the rights of the colonists from the usurpations by the British government after 1766. They are best known for undertaking the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which led to the Intolerable Acts (an intense crackdown by the British government), and a counter-mobilization by the Patriots that led directly to the American Revolutionary War in 1775.

Once more there is no mention of the involvement of Freemasons in this group. This is in keeping with the history books used in the public schools in which I was educated. As a child I was led to believe that the Boston Tea Party was a spontaneous event by a group of American colonists who were incensed at oppressive taxation imposed by the King of England. The history books led one to believe this was a grass roots movement, and that there was no central group involved in its planning and execution.

The truth is the men who participated in the Boston Tea Party were largely, if not entirely, members of St. Andrews (Masonic) Lodge of Boston. The event was planned and organized at the Green Dragon Tavern which was purchased by St. Andrews Masonic Lodge in 1764. The lower floor of the two story building was used as a public tavern. The upper floor was the Lodge’s meeting hall.

Green Dragon Tavern

Note the inscription at the bottom of this drawing. It states, “Where we met to plan the consignment of a few shiploads of tea. Dec 16 1773.” It is signed by the artist who was evidently a Freemason and member of St. Andrews Lodge. Note specifically the square and compass of Freemasonry in the upper left corner. This drawing is signed and dated with the same year.

To be fair, there are other articles on Wikipedia that make mention of the role of Freemasons in the Boston Tea Party, though these articles are somewhat obscure. For example, Thomas White was an American patriot who took part in this event, and later served with George Washington (also a Freemason) in the American Revolution. The following statement is found in the short article located on Wikipedia under the listing Thomas White.

On December 16, 1773, members of the St. Andrew's Lodge and others boarded British vessels disguised as Indians, and threw shipments of tea into the harbor to protest the Tea Act. Thomas White was among the participants.

The Green Dragon Tavern took its name from the emblem of a dragon that was mounted over the entrance. The dragon was formed from copper, and due to weathering it had turned green. Following is what the dragon design looked like.

Dragon Emblem

The Green Dragon Tavern was also referred to in its day as the “Freemason Arms.” Although American history books frequently make mention of the role of the Green Dragon Tavern in the formation of the nation, its Masonic ownership, and the lodge that met upstairs, is largely ignored. Daniel Webster, a leading American statesmen who lived from 1782-1852, and served as a senator for the state of Massachusetts, referred to the Green Dragon Tavern as “the headquarters of the American Revolution,” a statement that has been echoed by numerous historians.

The association with Freemasonry and the Green Dragon is not merely circumstantial. The men who met there to plan the revolution were not a random group of colonialists who found the tavern to be a convenient meeting place. These men were to a great degree Freemasons, and many of them members of St. Andrews Lodge. Among the members were John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Joseph Warren (Master of the Lodge, killed in 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill).

Is it not of great importance to know that the headquarters of the American Revolution was a building owned by Freemasons and in which a Masonic lodge held their meetings? Why is such an important detail not deemed pertinent to the discussion of America’s foundation? Is it not significant that Freemasonry is Luciferian in its doctrines and the symbol for Satan is a dragon?

Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan...

There were only two emblems over the entrance to the Green Dragon Tavern. One was the dragon itself. The second was the square and compass of Freemasonry. It is fitting that these symbols should be found together. What type of plans should a Christian anticipate to come out of a lodge of Freemasonry that meets in a building named after a dragon? How about plans for a rebellion? Rebellion, after all, is the nature of Satan. He was the first rebel, instigating a revolt against the King of Heaven, the Creator of all things.

Revelation 12:7-9
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

In this building in Boston bearing the emblem of the dragon there was another rebellion planned that also led to war. The immediate outworking of these plans involved theft, death, and destruction. These are not things that Christ counsels the saints to engage in. Such actions are in keeping with Satan. In the Gospels Christ provides the following description of Satan.

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

What was planned in the Green Dragon was the theft of several shiploads of East India Tea, and the destruction of that tea as it was dumped into the harbor. The result was to unify Americans in a war against the British Crown that caused the death of thousands of individuals on both sides of the conflict. In the Green Dragon plans were laid to “kill, steal, and destroy.”

I have often found that Christians are so propagandized to associate America and its form of government with Christianity that they fail to consider whether rebellion against the King of England was something that God would initiate. The Bible in fact testifies that Yahweh hates rebellion.

I Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry.

The Scriptures have much to say regarding Yahweh’s view of rebellion. The Jewish religious leaders sought to persuade the Roman authorities to crucify Christ by falsely charging Him with rebellion against the King (Caesar). When Pilate examined Christ he concluded that there was no basis for the charges. Christ was not a rebel, nor one to incite rebellion among His followers.

Luke 23:14
“You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.”

How remarkable then that Satan has persuaded millions of Christians in America that Christ was the Author of the rebellion against the King of England. Christ’s counsel to the church is quite contrary to that which was given in the house of the Green Dragon.

I Peter 2:13-15
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

Some would protest that the King of England was unjust in his actions, and America was a long way from England. Peter wrote the words above in the time of the Roman Empire. The Emperors of Rome were evil men. They also ruled over lands and people’s far from the nation of their origin. Neither distance, nor injustice has any bearing on Christ’s counsel. He would have Christians to honor the powers that be, rather than inciting the church to rebellion against them. The apostle Peter continues with the following counsel.

I Peter 2:18-21
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps...

Christ bore up patiently when He was falsely accused and condemned by the Jewish leaders and the Roman government. He did not rebel. He uttered no threats. He went meekly as a sheep to be slaughtered. Like a lamb before the shearers He was silent, and He has left us commandment to follow His example.

Expulsion of the Loyalists

There were among the citizens of the American colonies those who believed it was wrong to rebel against the King of England. Some objected based upon doctrinal grounds knowing the example of Christ and commandment of Scripture. Such ones were branded as traitors by the American patriots. Some were persecuted and many ended up fleeing to Canada, or other lands belonging to the British commonwealth, to avoid the persecution of the rebellious plan fomented by Satan in the lodges of Freemasonry.

It is little reported today that there was a great division among the citizens of the thirteen original colonies of America regarding the act of entering into rebellion against the king. At no time during the American Revolutionary War did those in favor of rebellion against the King reach or exceed fifty percent of the population. It is estimated that 15 - 20 percent of the population declared themselves as loyalists to the King. Approximately 40 percent of the population of the original thirteen colonies declared themselves to be neutral. Only 40-45 percent were ever in favor of rebellion.

People of God, it is necessary to examine carefully the claims and historical accounts of America’s founding as a nation. It should be asked, “If America is a ‘Christian nation’ why was she birthed in a rebellion that was planned and executed largely by Freemasons, the headquarters for this rebellion being owned by a Masonic lodge and bearing the emblem and name of the dragon?” Do these things bear the marks of a work of Christ, the Lamb of God?

The seeds of the American Revolution were first observed in the Stamp Tax Rebellion which led to the Boston Tea Party. Was it the counsel of Christ for the citizens of the British colonies to rebel by refusing to pay taxes to the King of England? We are not left without answers to such questions. The Bible is very practical in its counsel. In it is found instructions regarding the attitude and actions of Christians toward the monarchs who rule the nations in which they dwell. Christians are exhorted, not only because of the wrath of the king, but in order to maintain a good conscience, to pay the taxes levied against them and to not resist the established authorities.

Romans 13:1-7
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

The event known as the Boston Tea Party was not a Christian act under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It was an act of Freemasons under the influence of Satan. The Spirit of Satan is one of rebellion against authority. Observe how this attitude is manifested in that document known as The Declaration of Independence.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation...:

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions...

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
[End Quotation]

Under whose influence, Christ’s or Satan’s, was this document written? It is ever the practice of rebels to give justification for their actions to make it appear that the casting off of authority is both reasonable and justified. It is not the counsel of Yahweh that His people do so, however. Peter states, “For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.”

It is insightful to compare this document to a passage from the book of Isaiah that describes Satan’s rebellion against God.

Isaiah 14:12-14
How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart,
'I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and
I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.'

As we look at these two declarations side by side, we observe the two sides of rebellion. Eighteen times Thomas Jefferson wrote the charge “He has,” this being 6+6+6. Five times we find Satan declaring what he will do in defiance of the will of God. For every overt act of rebellion there is a corresponding justification. “He has..., so I will.”

Those who judge righteously will conclude that the Freemasons who took counsel inside the Green Dragon Tavern were inspired by Lucifer, the original rebel. The Mason who is ignorant of the identity of the true god of the Lodge is without excuse. The Scriptures describe Satan as “the dragon” and this emblem and name was attached to the HEADquarters in which the rebellion was planned. The actions were also those of Satan who comes to kill, steal and destroy. In contrast, Christ counseled His disciples to a very different response to the injustices they experience in this world.

Matthew 5:38-45
“You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.”

The apostle Paul echoed this counsel of Christ when he wrote to the saints in Rome.

Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Paul further advised that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.” They are not gun and bullet and sword. He stated that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.” This too is in harmony with the words of Christ.

John 18:36
Yahshua answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

Those who are born of the Spirit of Christ become citizens of a heavenly kingdom.

Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Yahshua Christ.

As a child of God you are an alien and a stranger in this world. It is great error for the Christian to become embroiled in the affairs of this world. Those who do so do not perceive the vanity of seeking to transform mankind through carnal methods.

II Timothy 2:4
No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

Controversies of taxation pertaining to kings and governments should matter not one whit to the Christian. Our lives on this earth are not given to us that we might pursue “life, liberty, and happiness.” They are given to us that we might be perfected as sons of God as we follow Christ down an afflicted path, daily taking up our cross to follow Him.

The beliefs, practices and prejudices of Americans (Christian and non-Christian) are often formed by events that they have no knowledge of, or have been deceived about. These things can be as mundane as the reason that Americans drink coffee and the English drink tea. Did you know this American habit is traceable back to the Green Dragon Tavern? The lower level of the Green Dragon was a public meeting house where tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages were served. British as well as American colonialists, Tories as well as Patriots, all were known to gather in this popular watering hole.

When the crisis of American independence began, and particularly after the Boston Tea Party, any who drank tea in the tavern were branded as Tories (British loyalists) where as those who ordered coffee were recognized as American Patriots. The practice spread from there until a bias developed for drinking coffee rather than tea.

Yet, some of the biases, thoughts and beliefs of Americans are not so trivial. Satan has done a diabolical work by getting millions of Christians in America to celebrate rebellion. The casting off of authority, and the deplorable lack of honor among American society is a great tragedy and source of much unrighteousness. What we believe impacts our lives in both subtle and overt ways. Satan has deceived many into honoring actions of rebellion of which he was the author.

Let us cast off the deceit of the enemy and begin to judge with righteous judgment.

Dragon Flood - Part 4

A History of Deception

The image next to this is the cover of a popular book that reveals some of the serious omissions, and glaring errors, found in twelve of the most popular history books used in the public school systems of America today. It is not written from a Christian perspective, but it reveals that there is a certain percentage of Americans who are waking up to the fact that the historical accounts delivered to them as students were often incomplete, biased, or complete lies.

Arriving at an accurate historical worldview requires that the investigator of such matters has a sound understanding of the nature of God, mankind, and the angels. It is certain today that the majority of writers of public school history books fail in all three areas. Tragically, most Christians also lack the requisite understanding of the spiritual and material worlds needed in order to arrive at truth.

As I have engaged in this present series I have sought to keep in mind the character of fallen man. The Bible describes the condition of unregenerate man in the following manner.

Romans 3:9-18
Both Jews and Greeks... are all under sin. As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one." "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their lips"; "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness." "Their feet are swift to shed blood; Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known." "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

If you accept the words above as divinely inspired, accurate, and a true statement of man’s condition, then does it follow that the men who formed the government of America, being a large part Freemasons, and most of the remnant Deists who embraced the empty philosophy of The Enlightenment, could establish a political system that was based upon truth and righteousness? Is it possible that men who “have together become unprofitable,” who “with their tongues practice deceit,” and “the poison of asps is under their tongues,” men “whose feet are swift to shed blood,” with “destruction and misery” being in their ways, could establish a governmental system that is so amenable, harmonious, and compatible with the Kingdom of God that churches throughout the land would display the American flag alongside a flag representing the rule of Christ?

Is it not more probable that Satan, the great deceiver who deceives the whole world, has hoodwinked Christians in America into believing that theirs is a “Christian nation” whose founding fathers were guided by the hand of the God of the Bible? Paul begins the passage above by making reference to “Jews and Greeks.” What you may not yet have perceived is that the founders of America held two diverse perspectives that are traceable to the Jews and the Greeks. In another place the apostle Paul states:

I Corinthians 1:22-23
For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness...

We have observed that Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and others had embraced Enlightenment philosophy. This is a manifestation of a Greek mindset. The Jewish mindset is manifested among Freemasonry which is traceable back to the Kaballah. Kaballah is a body of esoteric teaching that embraces the ancient Babylonian Mystery Religion, having combined it with a corrupted form of Judaism. It is a merging of Old Testament thoughts and images with the pagan and profane practices of Babylon. The author of Kaballah is none other than Satan. He has ensnared millions with a promise of attaining godhood through the perfection of the human state by becoming an adept in the secrets of ancient wisdom.

The influence of Kaballah and things Jewish, is unmistakable in Freemasonry. In every lodge in Christian lands there is an altar with a Bible laid upon it. This Bible is ONLY opened to the Old Testament. It is NEVER opened to the New Testament. Although Freemasonry makes myriads of references to people, places and events in the Bible, they are exclusively that which is found in the Old Testament. Solomon, Hiram, Moses, and many other characters from the Old Testament hold a place in Masonic ritual and teaching, yet the true character and acts of these people are perverted and distorted through the addition of lies and deception.

For a number of years Yahweh led me to live in the city of Macon, Georgia. Macon is the French word for “Mason.” Macon, Georgia is a Masonic city. It was founded by Freemasons who clearly understood what the name of their city meant in the French language. There is a historical marker downtown that makes mention of the famous French Mason, the Marquis De La Fayette visiting the city soon after it was founded.

Historical Marker - Downtown Macon, Georgia

The marker reads as follows:

FREEMASONRY IN MACON

FREEMASONRY CAME TO MACON IN 1824 WHEN THE CITY WAS IN ITS INFANCY. MACON LODGE NO. 5, F. & A. M.*, WAS ORGANIZED IN 1824 AND CHARTERED BY THE GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA IN 1825. HISTORIANS HAVE REFERRED TO MACON LODGE AS BEING THE 'FIRST SOCIETY IN THE TOWN OF MACON.' IN 1846 THE GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA, F. & A. M., MOVED ITS SEAT FROM MILLEDGEVILLE TO MACON AND FOR MANY YEARS HELD ITS ANNUAL COMMUNICATIONS IN THE HALL OF MACON LODGE NO. 5.

DR. AMBROSE BABER, M.D., A PHYSICIAN AND PIONEER CITIZEN OF MACON, WAS THE FIRST WORSHIPFUL MASTER OF MACON LODGE AND LATER SERVED THE WHOLE CRAFT IN GEORGIA AS GRAND MASTER OF MASONS DURING 1831. HE DIED ACCIDENTALLY IN 1846 AND IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR A MONUMENT WAS ERECTED TO HIS MEMORY BY JOINT ACTION OF THE GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA, MACON LODGE AND CONSTANTINE CHAPTER NO. 4 ROYAL ARCH MASONS.

IN 1825 DURING HIS TRIUMPHAL TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES BY BROTHER AND GENERAL THE MARQUIS DE LA FAYETTE, THE FREEMASONS OF MACON AND OTHER GROUPS LAVISHLY ENTERTAINED AND HONORED THIS FAMOUS AND BELOVED FRENCH NOBLEMAN WHO HAD CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH TO THE CAUSE OF AMERICAN LIBERTY BY SERVING AS A COMRADE-IN-ARMS WITH BROTHER AND GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON.

MARKER PLACED BY THE
EDUCATIONAL & HISTORICAL COMMISSION
GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA, F&AM

(*Note that F & AM stands for Free and Accepted Masons)

There is absolutely no doubt that this French Freemason who visited Macon in its infancy understood the relevance of the name of this new city in Georgia. Yet, according to the practice of Satan adopted by Freemasonry, the actual meaning of the name of the city was attributed to a completely unrelated matter. According to the website of the Chamber of Commerce for Macon, the name was chosen for the following reason.

In 1822 the Georgia legislature created Bibb County, named for William Wyatt Bibb, a U.S. Senator. Macon, named in honor of Nathaniel Macon, a North Carolina patriot and statesman, was the county seat.
[Source: http://www.maconchamber.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60&Itemid=69]

It is ever the practice of Freemasonry to lie and practice deception. It is highly unlikely that citizens of Georgia would name their city in honor of a politician from North Carolina. This explanation merely served as a plausible ruse to keep the true influence of Freemasonry hidden. Significantly, Macon lies between the 32nd and 33rd parallel north longitude, numbers which are related to the two highest degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. This same chamber of commerce website contains the following statement on Macon’s history.

The city of Babylon inspired Macon’s planners to create a city with multitudes of parks and spacious avenues. When James Webb, the appointed surveyor laid out the downtown streets of Macon in 1832, he gave future generations the gift of wide streets and parks. The planners designated 250 acres for Central City Park and citizens were required by ordinances to plant shade trees in their front yards.
[Source: Ibid]

The link between Babylon and Freemasonry is well established. Freemasonry is a modern incarnation of the ancient Babylonian Mysteries. Satan has preserved the profane rites and symbols of ancient Babylon and has brought them forward to the present. Babylon was reputed to be a city of gardens and many trees and wide avenues. The Masonic founders of Macon laid out the city to conform to the historic pattern of Babylon. That Macon bears this connection to Babylon further demonstrates that it is a Masonic city, and that the public explanation for its name is a red herring. Freemasonry is a “secret” society after all. In the 1800s men did not go about broadcasting the fact that they were building Masonic cities.

When I was living in Macon the Father directed me to work at the rescue mission there. The mission has a thrift store where donations are received and sold to help fund their operations. I was asked to work as a manager at the store overseeing all of the donations, prepping them for sale. Frequently we would receive Masonic books as donations. I acquired an old copy of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma at the time, as well as a large Masonic Bible produced by the Holman Company.

Masonic Bible

The book Morals and Dogma states plainly that deception is practiced as a matter of course in the Lodge. The first three degrees of Freemasonry are referred to as “the Blue Lodge.” Most men in the Blue Lodge have no idea what the true meaning of the rites and symbols are. If the men are Christian, they are told the symbols of Freemasonry are Christian symbols. They are supplied with elaborate and deceptive explanations to convince them.

The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry...

Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it....

The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason…
[Source: Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, Published 1871]

The Masonic Bible pictured above contained considerable material at the front relating to Freemasonry, with abundant illustrations. Following is some of the material appearing in this Bible, along with my comments.

Masonic Depiction of Solomon’s Temple

One of the first articles at the front of this Masonic Bible is titled The First Authentic Restoration of King Solomon’s Temple and Citadel. The restoration is credited to John Wesley Kelchner and a statement precedes the article and following images.

Exactly the spectacle beheld by the eyes of Solomon when his artisans had finished.
Harvey Wiley Corbett, Architect

Following is an excerpt from this article.

How the Designs, Drawings and Pictures Were Obtained.

It is known to every reader of the Bible and student of Solomon’s days, that an amazingly exact description of the Temple and its associated structures has been carried down from the mists of antiquity by the Scriptures. Lineal measurements, materials employed, and ornamental detail are so graphically presented that restoration of the Temple at any time within a score of centuries past, awaited only the coming of a man with the vision to recognize its historic value, and the imagination to undertake the task.

Notwithstanding the universal interest in King Solomon’s Temple, a fascination which has created innumerable legends and romances during the intervening centuries, the incredible fact remains that no adequate effort to restore the Temple was made until John Wesley Kelchner, Archaeoligist, Bible Student and Lecturer, began thirty years ago to make real his vision of the scriptural description.

It is espoused that the images created of Solomon’s Temple are accurate, having followed precisely the Biblical details of its construction. The reality, however, is that the images of Solomon’s Temple have no relation to the Bible, but are actually drawings of historic Babylonian building. The image above that is claimed to be an accurate rendering of Solomon’s Temple is in actuality a depiction of a Babylonian Ziggurat, of which the Tower of Babel is the most famous.

Note that what is portrayed in the image is a tower. Nowhere in Scripture is there any mention of a tower being incorporated in the construction of Solomon’s Temple. Following is an accurate model of Solomon’s Temple derived from the Biblical description.

Solomon’s Temple

One immediately notices the tremendous difference between this Biblically accurate rendering, and the fantastic depiction of the Temple in the Masonic Bible. Absent is any tower, as well as the numerous Babylonian images that decorate the facade of the Temple in the Masonic painting.

Very clearly we can observe the principle that Freemasonry utilizes, which is to present before mankind images of pagan and occult origin while attributing to them Christian origin and significance. Keep this in mind, for the Masonic founders of the American government have practiced a similar form of deception.

Entrance to the Great Porch of Solomon’s Temple

The image above is also taken from the Masonic Bible. Look closely at the carved statues at the right side of the steps leading up to the Temple. Following is a close-up of what is depicted.

Nimrod, Winged Bull

Nowhere in the Bible do we find any description of winged bulls with the head of a man forming part of the facade of Solomon’s Temple. Where then does this image come from? In Alexander Hislop’s classic book The Two Babylons, he shows an image of this same winged bull, and he gives the following account of its origin and meaning.

There was another way in which Nimrod’s power was symbolised besides by the horn. A synonym for Gheber, “The Mighty One,” was “Abir,” while “Aber” also signified “a wing.” Nimrod as head and captain of those men of war, by whom he surrounded himself, and who were the instruments of establishing his power, was “Baal-Aberin,” “Lord of the Mighty Ones.” But “Baal-Abirin” (pronounced in nearly the same way) signified “The Winged One,” and therefore in symbol he was represented not only as a horned bull, but as at once a horned and winged bull - as showing not merely that he was mighty himself, but that he had mighty ones under his command who were ever ready to carry his will into effect.
[Source: The Two Babylons, Alexander Hislop]

This symbol of Nimrod was copied by other kings of Mesopotamia, and images of it are still existing to this day among the ancient ruins. Satan, the great deceiver is seeking to convince the viewer of these images that they are looking at Solomon’s Temple when in actuality they are viewing images of Babylon.

I will share just one more example of this type of fraud found in this Masonic Bible. In the book of I Kings chapter 17 we read of Solomon building “the house of the forest of Lebanon.” The Masonic Bible provides an artistic rendering of what the Freemasons envision it to have looked like.

House of the Forest of Lebanon from Masonic Bible

As one looks at this image they can see numerous Babylonian images decorating the grounds and the face of the building, including once more the winged bulls of Nimrod. In the background is observed a ziggurat which we have been told is Solomon’s Temple. The Masons, under the guidance of Satan, are presenting images of Babylon and calling them Jerusalem. They are taking Babylonian buildings and substituting them for historical buildings described in the Bible, and they are adorning all with images relating to the Babylonian Mystery Religion. What the artist has done in drawing the house of the forest of Lebanon is to take elements from the Ishtar Gate in Babylon and incorporate them into his depiction of the building constructed by Solomon.

Babylon’s Ishtar Gate

The Freemasons have taken the Bible and filled it with lying images and words. In doing so they have demonstrated that nothing that is holy unto God is truly sacred to them. The Freemasons have adopted wholesale the character and actions of Lucifer, whom their organization was created to worship. Of Satan, our Lord testified the following:

John 8:44
“Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

In these brief examples cited here I have revealed the lies of Macon’s founding fathers in the false attribution of the name of the city. The city was founded just 24 years after the death of George Washington, and was attended by one of the French Masonic Generals who served alongside Washington in the Revolutionary War. I have cited Albert Pike, the Sovereign Grand Commander of Freemasonry in North America between the years 1859 and 1891. In his Masonic tome Morals and Dogma Pike justified the widespread practice of lying and deception among Freemasons. I have also shown examples of falsehood and deceit that Masonry has placed even within the covers of the Holy Bible.

In further chapters of this study I will reveal that Freemasonry, and the Freemason’s god, who is Lucifer, have been the true guiding force in America’s national history and the actions of her government. Will not men who print lies inside Bibles also print lies in newspapers, and in history books? I would have those who are disciples of Christ to examine carefully all they have received about the history of this nation. Many Christians in ignorance have joined themselves to ungodly men, effectually promoting the plans and purposes of Satan.

“Both Jews and Greeks are all under sin. There is none righteous, no not one.... With their tongues they have practiced deceit; The poison of asps is under their lips.” Agreeing that these statements are true, how critical a matter it is for the Christian to test all things carefully. The founding father’s of America were no better than other Adamic men. They were not saints. By their own confession they were not under the influence of God, nor were they directed by Him. Many had direct affiliations with Satanic organizations and secret societies. Only the most naive and careless Christians would accept the popular and widely disseminated historical accounts of the character, motives and actions of these men and the nation they founded.

Christians have been propagandized by the most skillful deceiver of all, Satan. In the founding of the United States of America the devil found many willing men to do his bidding. A few did the will of Satan while recognizing that it was Lucifer they were serving. Far more, however, did his bidding in ignorance even as the majority of Freemasons today do not know that it is Satan who rules the Lodges they have joined themselves to with terrible oaths.

The earth is truly being flooded by the river of lies that streams from the mouth of the dragon and great serpent of old. Be careful of the water that you drink.

Dragon Flood - Part 3

A Biblical Interpretation of American History

Signing of The Declaration of Independence

One of the great failings of Christians is observed in their embrace of the historical views of nations thrust upon them by a godless society. The Scriptures declare that Christians are aliens and strangers in this world, yet all too often those who confess Christ Yahshua to be their Savior and Lord hold a world view that is based upon the myths and deceptions set forth by sinful and rebellious men and angels. Nowhere is this spiritual blindness among the people of God seen more clearly than in America. The churches have bought into the lie that America was founded as a “Christian nation.” American patriots fill the pews of churches all across the United States. An attack on America is deemed by myriads of Christians to be the equivalent of an attack on God Himself.

I grew up in churches in the 1960s and 1970s where it was a common practice to have a Christian flag and the flag of the United States set up front on the platform where the minister preached. The congregation faced these flags week after week, and no one ever questioned whether this practice was right, or whether the Holy Spirit had been the initiator of it.

Church Displaying Flags

The practice of displaying the American flag next to a flag that symbolizes Christianity, establishes a mental connection of there being a oneness and unity of purpose in the government of God and the government of America. The two flags stand side by side as brothers in arms. There is nothing to suggest that there is any antipathy between the entities and persons signified by these emblems.

One of the reasons this deceit has been swallowed so freely is that Christians in America have not tested the claims of America’s founding that they heard while attending the public and private schools of the nation. They have not heeded the counsel of Christ to His disciples.

Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Is it wisdom to accept the claims of American history without examining carefully those stories set forth so widely to see whether they be true? Should the Christian automatically embrace views that proclaim America’s form of government to be divinely inspired, that infer the framers of the nation’s documents to have been guided by the hand of God, and which presuppose that the men involved with the establishment of the government were believers in Jesus Christ/Yahshua the Messiah? A critical testing of the views adopted by the masses of professing Christians in America reveal that a work of great deception has been accomplished. The church has not acquitted itself as the noble Bereans whom the apostle Paul praised for examining the claims they heard to see whether they were true.

There have been some very popular books in recent years such as The Light and the Glory by Peter Marshall and David Manuel that have promoted the idea of America being a Christian nation. The effect of these books has been to reinforce the false notion that America has a divine destiny and the founding fathers of the nation were guided by God to create a form of government that is pure and righteous. Such books and teachings fall woefully short in the area of exercising a healthy skepticism. They assume that everyone who names the name of Jesus, or who speaks of “God” are referring to the same beings that are set forth in the pages of Scripture. Christ cautioned His disciples with the following words:

Matthew 24:5
“For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.”

The naive and ignorant are ever prone to believe lies. God does not declare it to be a virtue to be either naive, nor ignorant.

John 7:24
"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

There was no man among the founding fathers who was more involved in the formation of the nation of America than John Adams. Although Jefferson penned The Declaration of Independence, it was largely the influence of John Adams that saw its adoption. Jefferson referred to Adams as “The Colossus of that Congress—the great pillar of support to The Declaration of Independence, and its ablest advocate and champion on the floor of the House.”

In his, "A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America" [1787-1788], John Adams wrote:

The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.
[End Quotation]

This is a true and accurate statement of the origination of the founding documents of America and its governmental structure. Some might object that the men who framed these documents made mention of God. A Christian is not manifesting wisdom if they accept all things at face value. They will surely be led astray into forming false conceptions of the birth of America and the merits of its governmental forms if they do not perform due diligence and investigate the men who penned these seminal documents, while looking into the influences that guided them.

We need not guess as to the beliefs of these men for their writings have been preserved for posterity. We can examine their own statements to know what they thought about God, His Son, and the Christian religion. The following statements of Thomas Jefferson reveal his opinion of the Bible and of the person of Jesus Christ, Yahshua the Messiah.

Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, April 13, 1820]

In a letter to John Adams, Jefferson wrote the following, revealing his justification for creating his own version of the gospels of Christ.

The whole history of these books (the Gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man (Jesus Christ); and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814, (parenthesis added)]

It is observable from this statement that Jefferson did not believe Jesus to be anything other than an “extraordinary man.” What Jefferson referred to as the work of inferior minds includes the virgin birth of Christ, as well as all of Christ’s miracles of healing, casting out demons, and His bodily resurrection. In another letter he penned the following comment:

And the day will come when the mystical generation (birth) of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823]

That this discourse occurred between Jefferson and Adams, two men most intimately connected to the writing and passage of America’s Declaration of Independence and Constitution, reveals not only that they did not accept Jesus Christ/Yahshua the Messiah as the Son of God, but they looked forward to the overthrow of beliefs and claims of Christ’s divinity and virgin birth that they considered to be deplorable fables. The Bible testifies the following:

I John 4:1-3
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

What does the apostle John mean when he states that “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?” We can look at John’s own writings to answer this question.

John 8:42
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”

I John 4:15
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

I John 5:5
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Since Jefferson denied that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, the Scriptures testify that God was not Thomas Jefferson’s Father. The apostle John says that those who testify lies concerning the Christ, denying His deity, denying that Jesus was God come in the flesh are manifesting the spirit of antichrist. As more evidence is presented in this teaching series it will be made readily apparent that it has been the spirit of antichrist guiding the American government from its inception down to this day.

Many Christians have been fooled by false historical accounts of the nation’s founding and of the character and beliefs of its founding fathers. They have not “examined all things carefully” as the apostle Paul admonished them to do. Nor have they been “as wise as serpents, but harmless as doves” as Christ commanded His followers to be in this world. Some look at the inscription on the Jefferson Memorial in Washington and are beguiled into thinking that Jefferson was a defender of the faith of Christianity. On his memorial is the following quotation:

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

There are very few Christians who have done their homework in order to understand the context of this Jefferson quotation. Thomas Jefferson penned these words while he was running for election to the Presidency of the United States. There were numerous ministers from the area of Philadelphia who were aware of Jefferson’s antichrist spirit. They understood that Jefferson was a deist who believed in a god of nature that could not be known on a personal level. Jefferson viewed all teaching of a personal God who is active in the affairs of men as rubbish. He discounted the divine inspiration of the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. A number of ministers from Philadelphia put out pamphlets warning the local citizenry about Jefferson’s beliefs.

In a letter written to Benjamin Rush in 1800 Thomas Jefferson commented on the opposition of these Christian ministers.

"The returning good sense of our country threatens abortion to their hopes, & they (the clergy) believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: & enough too in their opinion, & this is the cause of their printing lying pamphlets against me. . ."
(Parentheses added)

What many Christians have mistakenly taken as evidence of Jefferson’s belief in the God of the Bible, is actually an extract from statements he wrote in defense of the local clergy’s reproof of his lack of belief in the deity of Christ.

Since Jefferson played so large a part in the foundation of America, and the writing of her most influential documents, one must ask what truly shaped his thoughts. Jefferson studied the philosophers of what has come to be known as The Enlightenment. These philosophers believed that reason was the highest principle upon which to base all science and politics. These same philosophers discounted revelation, such as that identified as Holy Scripture, and they denied the miraculous, clinging only to those things that the rational mind could conceive. Jefferson’s thoughts are revealed in the following quotation:

“Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.”
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787]

In evaluating this statement by Jefferson one must remember that he had read the Scriptures and was familiar with their testimony. Yet Jefferson rejected the God of the Bible, clinging to a notion of some unknowable deity that created the Universe and established it upon certain laws. In seeking to understand these natural laws, Jefferson thought that not only could science be advanced to a much higher degree, but that one could establish a more perfect government than the world had known before.

It is noteworthy to point out the correlation between the name of the movement known as The Enlightenment and the name Lucifer. Lucifer means “light bearer.” Satan is the origin of the mythological being known as Prometheus who brought the wisdom of the gods down to man. Prometheus was said to have taught men the secrets of fire, violating the commandment of Zeus.

Statue of Prometheus (Lucifer) at Rockefeller Center - New York City

II Corinthians 11:14-15
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

The Greek word translated “angel” is also rendered as “messenger.” Satan makes himself appear as a messenger of light to mankind. The EnLIGHTenment’s adherents embraced a philosophy that was Luciferian in its origin. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and numerous others who were among the founding father’s of the nation were guided by this Luciferian light. The Enlightenment was guided by a central philosophy that manifested an elevated regard for reason. The thought was adopted that men could by the employment of pure reason, separated from all superstition (religious thought) and selfishness, form “a more perfect union.” Jefferson, Adams, and those others working alongside of them, believed that the principles set forth by the luminaries of The Enlightenment could be employed to create a governmental system far superior from the monarchies and other political forms that were common to the nations.

The apostle Paul had encountered many such “enlightened” philosophies in his day. There were many among the Greeks and Romans who had their various schools of enlightenment. The Greeks elevated philosophy to a national religion.

I Corinthians 1:22-23
For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness...

What these men call wisdom is actually the subtle deception of Satan. Satan has persuaded men that they are capable of self-rule, following in his own path of rebellion against the God of heaven. Paul calls the philosophy of man what it truly is.

Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty DECEPTION, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

It was the empty deception of The Enlightenment that Jefferson and Adams were following. As the Christian recognizes Lucifer to be the source of this rational philosophy, it should not be surprising that students of The Enlightenment manifested an antichrist spirit as they declared the divinity of Christ to be false, the virgin birth to be a myth, and the resurrection of the Son of God to be a detestable lie.

The godly man and woman who has the mind of Christ will recognize that Thomas Jefferson was a natural man without spiritual perception to whom the words of God appeared as foolishness. Jefferson named those philosophers whose teachings he admired in a letter to Adams, while disparaging Christian belief.

To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart. At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But heresy it certainly is.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, Aug. 15, 1820]

It was Locke who first penned a phrase that was later modified and made famous by Jefferson. John Locke discussed natural rights in his work, and identified them as being "life, liberty, and estate (or property)." Jefferson modified this statement and made it famous.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

We can see, then that rather than being influenced by the Bible, or by the teachings of Christianity, the author of The Declaration of Independence was influenced by the philosophers of The Enlightenment. The wisdom of The Enlightenment was that which derived from Lucifer.

When this truth is perceived one can then recognize how men who had embraced The Enlightenment could join hands with Freemasons in their work of forming a new nation. Both groups ultimately had Lucifer as their head.

The Great Seal

To men like Jefferson and Adams, the all seeing eye atop the pyramid represented the attainment of enlightened reasoning whereby great and lasting things could be built. To men like George Washington it signified the attainment of mankind’s highest state through the study of the mysteries of Freemasonry. The motto of Freemasonry is “Making good men better.” Because both Freemasonry and The Enlightenment are works of the great deceiver, these men found that they shared a common spirit and purpose. This common spirit is the spirit of antichrist.

In the following letter Thomas Jefferson shared his opinion that the God of the Bible was no better than a demon.

I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshipped by many who think themselves Christians.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to Richard Price, Jan. 8, 1789 (Richard Price had written to Thomas Jefferson on Oct. 26. about the harm done by religion and wrote “Would not Society be better without Such religions?”)]

In this view, Jefferson, who was never a Freemason, shares the perspective of high level Masons who declare Lucifer to be the true god of wisdom while Yahweh (Adonay) is judged to be the God of darkness and evil. On July 14, 1889, Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, and author of numerous Masonic books, addressed the 23 Supreme Councils of the world. His words were recorded by Abbe Clarin De La Rive in La Femme et l' Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle (Woman and Child in Universal Freemasonry), published in 1894.

That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition.

To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General [of the 33rd degree], we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees - The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.

If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay, the God of the Christians, whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him?

Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive...

Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.
[End Quotation]

Thomas Jefferson deemed the God of the Bible to be demonic in character. How is it that this man, who was a student of The Enlightenment, arrived at the same conclusion as the most esteemed Freemason of America, Albert Pike? Pike described God’s deeds as proving his “cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man.” Pike attributed to Yahweh barbarism, and so too did Jefferson. The answer lies in the fact that both Freemasonry and The Enlightenment have Satan as their author.

Myriads of Christians have been propagandized to believe that America’s government was divinely inspired and perfectly compatible with the teachings of Christ and His disciples. Having neglected to search out this matter themselves, they believe the lies which advance the notion that the founding father’s of the nation were godly men who honored the God of the Bible. The truth as set forth in these men’s own words reveal that they held the Scriptures in contempt.

It is between fifty and sixty years since I read it [the book of Revelation], and I then considered it merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams.
[Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to General Alexander Smyth, Jan. 17, 1825]

Jefferson compiled his own version of the four Gospels which has become known as The Jefferson Bible. Jefferson removed from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John every passage that mentioned Christ’s virgin birth, His deity, His miracles, and His resurrection. He left in only that which his rational mind could accept as plausible. Jefferson’s contempt for other portions of Scripture is revealed in the note above where he described The Revelation written by the apostle John as akin to “the ravings of a maniac.”

Is it possible that such men would create a form of government on Earth that is in harmony with the teachings of Christ and His apostles? This subject will be discussed further in the next chapter.

Dragon Flood - Part 2

The Hidden Hand

Salomon Rothschild

To clearly have unveiled to one’s eyes the vast deception that inundates the nations today the Christian must look beyond the realm of man to perceive those dark spiritual forces that have been at work among man since the fall of our first forebears in the Garden of Eden. Many people, and myriads of websites, books, and videos today are focused upon man’s part in the deception of this world. The Illuminati, Freemasonry, and organizations such as the Bildebergers, the Trilateral Commission, and the Counsel on Foreign Relations are real. These are instruments of Satan, pawns in his hand to accomplish his evil plans. However, if one does not perceive the hand behind these groups of men and women they will surely find it difficult to conceive of such wickedness being carried out over centuries, even millennia, ever marching forward toward a goal.

Men are by consequence of the fall and a shortened lifespan quite impatient. They want to quickly partake of their happiness, pleasure, power, fame, wealth, or whatever it is their soul lusts after. It is unusual for a man to plan beyond his own generation. He may perhaps give some attention to leaving an inheritance to his living offspring, but seldom does any man make earthly plans that will not be realized until well after his generation has passed.

Satan, however, has a longer view of things. Satan is not constrained by the same mortal lifespan that God placed upon mankind. He has been alive and present throughout the entire history of humanity. He has been steadily advancing his plan to bring all earthbound creation under his dominion. We do err when we see no further than the human agents that Satan operates through. We must perceive the greater mind and power behind the scenes. The apostle Paul perceived that mankind’s greatest adversaries were not flesh and blood, but spiritual forces of darkness in league with Satan.

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Martin Luther was confronted with many of the human agents of Satan during his struggle against the lies, corruption, and tyranny of the Roman Catholic Church. Nevertheless, Luther realized that the Christian’s greatest adversary was not the Pope, nor the emissaries of the Roman Church. He saw the diabolical hand behind evil men acting as their puppet master. In his famous song A Mighty Fortress is Our God, written in the year 1529, Luther made reference to mankind’s great and ancient enemy.

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

The saints of God are in a similar struggle today. There are many adversaries that threaten the disciples of Christ. We would err if we saw no further than the governments of men, including those invisible governments that appoint and control the leaders of nations.

About twenty years ago a friend presented to me a copy of the book The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History by Ralph A. Epperson. It is an excellent book, extensively documented, revealing that there has been a cabal of international elites who have been orchestrating many world events for centuries. These men have started wars, overthrown governments, incited insurrections, and collapsed economies, all the while remaining unseen, hiding behind the visible governments and institutions of the nations.

Many governments, including that of America, are merely puppets to this secret cabal of hyper-wealthy bankers and industrialists. The reasons provided to the masses to justify wars and radical legislation are largely subterfuge and deceit. The citizenry are made to think that the national interests and security of their nation are under attack when the truth reveals that this is a ruse to further the ambitions and plans of an international coalition of men and women who believe it is their right to control the course of nations.

Although Epperson’s book was published in 1985, it is not difficult to perceive a continuance of the conspiratorial hand of a global elite in the last 27 years. The name of his book The Unseen Hand, is well chosen and insightful. Even as Satan seeks to operate through deception, so too do those servants of his among mankind seek to remain hidden, keeping their presence and activities obscured through deceit and anonymity.

Those who are in league with Satan have adopted the symbolism of the unseen hand to denote their occult (hidden from sight) activities. They have signaled their true allegiance and hidden agenda through symbols. A common symbol employed to denote that one is a servant of unseen masters is to have a picture or portrait made with one hand hidden inside of their clothing.

Napoleon Bonaparte

One of the best known depictions of a famous world leader with one hand hidden is that of Napoleon. Freemasonry claims Napoleon as one of their own. In the Royal Arch degree of Freemasonry the initiate is brought into deeper levels of the hidden mysteries of their organization. This is a key level, being the 7th degree of York Rite Freemasonry and the 13th degree of the Scottish Rite. At this level the Mason has disclosed before him the name of the god of Freemasonry. This name is Jahbulon.

The name Jahbulon is a perverse admixture of the name of Yah, the God of the Hebrews, with Bul (also known as Bel and Baal) of the Babylonians, and On (also called Osiris), the god of the Egyptians. Those things which have been hidden by secret societies out of fear of the reaction of the populace who hold other beliefs, are at the end of this age now beginning to come into the light of day. Satan’s influence upon society has increased to such an extent that he is beginning to show himself overtly, looking to the coming day when he will be worshiped openly by all men as the god of the world.

At the World Cup match in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010, the soccer ball was custom made and bore the name Jabulani. The ball also bore a striking resemblance to a fly’s head. One of the names of Satan in the Bible is Beelzebub, which is translated “lord of the flies.” Furthermore, during these same South African games, the traditional vuvuzela horns were blown by the spectators. These horns make a sound described as similar to the buzzing of many flies.

During the initiation ceremony for the Royal Arch degree of Freemasonry, three men come together to form the Royal Arch. Each of the three men pronounce one part of the name of their god. The first man says “Jah,” the second “Bul,” and the third “On.” The name is considered too holy for any one man to declare fully. This is merely a deceit of Satan who wishes to have the individual names of the deities of Babylon and Egypt placed on the same level as the God of the Hebrew.

Satan is bringing these symbols more and more into the open as the end of the age nears. As he works to establish Babylon, his kingdom, upon the earth once more, these Satanic symbols will be expressed more openly. I perceived in the icon for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio De Janeiro that it is a stylized representation of the Royal Arch degree.

Returning to the symbol of the hidden hand and its relationship to government leaders who are directed by allegiances unknown to most of the population of their countries, we see that this is not an obscure matter. America’s very first president was a Freemason. George Washington’s Masonic apron is on display to this day in Philadelphia at the Masonic Lodge Museum in that city. The apron was presented to Washington in 1784 by the Marquis de Lafayette, a famous French Freemason who served in the Revolutionary War.

It should be noted that Washington began his first term as President in 1789, thus his allegiance and elevation within the lodge were already established.

George Washington’s Masonic Apron

There are a number of symbols and elements of this apron that indicate that Washington had passed the Royal Arch degree. Although it is not obvious from the picture due to fading over the years, one of the predominant colors is red. Red is the color of the Royal Arch degree. Around the circle at the top of the apron are letters that are associated with the Royal Arch degree, as is the rainbow that goes from one column to another forming an arch. It should not be surprising then that Washington had secret allegiances, having taken many oaths to serve a secret organization that was despised by the majority of Americans at the time. This secret allegiance is revealed in a number of portraits that were drawn of him as he posed with one hand hidden inside his garment.

Note also the placement of Washington’s feet. The alignment of the feet indicate the height to which a man has advanced in Freemasonry. The stance in which Washington is portrayed here by Charles Wilson Peale indicates that Washington had attained to the level of a Master Mason. At such a level Washington would have taken repeated oaths, uttering terrible imprecations against his own life if he failed to uphold his allegiance to Freemasonry. The above portrait was made while Washington was 52 years old, five years before he began serving as President.

The image of the hidden hand, like the all seeing eye, is intrinsically linked to Freemasonry. It reveals that the person has allegiances that are secret, that they serve a master that is kept hidden from the masses of the uninitiated. In the recently published book The Temple and the Lodge written by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, the history of the Knight’s Templar and the Freemasons are delved into. The book includes the following statements.

Of the fifty-six signatories of the Declaration of Independence, only nine can definitely be identified as Freemasons, while ten others may possibly have been. Of the general officers in the Continental Army, there were so far as documentation can establish, thirty-three Freemasons out of seventy-four. Granted the known Freemasons were, as a rule, more prominent, more instrumental in shaping the course of events than their unaffiliated colleagues... 

On 25 May 1787, the Constitutional Convention opened in Philadelphia and commenced its efforts to devise the machinery of government for the new nation. The first voice to make itself heard in any significantly influential way was a characteristically Freemasonic one, that of Edmund Randolph.. Randolph...a member of a Williamsburg lodge, had become Washington's aide-de-camp. Subsequently he was to become Attorney-General, then governor of Virginia and Grand Master of Virginia's Grand Lodge. During Washington's presidency, he was to serve as the first Attorney-General of the United States, then the first Secretary of State...

There were ultimately five dominant and guiding spirits behind the Constitution - Washington, Franklin, Randolph, Jefferson and John Adams. Of these, the first three were active Freemasons, but men who took their Freemasonry extremely seriously - men who subscribed fervently to its ideals, whose entire orientation had been shaped and conditioned by it. And Adam's position, though he himself is not known to have been a Freemason was virtually identical to theirs. When he became president, moreover, he appointed a prominent Freemason, John Marshall, as first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The number of Freemasons to sign The Declaration of Independence is much disputed. The above estimate must be considered very conservative, and should be noted that the authors were seeking to counter the view that Freemasons had an inordinate influence upon the founding of America’s government.

Manly P. Hall in his book America’s Assignment with Destiny states that 51 of the 56 signers were Freemasons. Manly Hall was writing as an advocate of Freemasonry, so his figures may reflect this bias. The truth likely lies somewhere between the low estimate of nine, and the higher estimates in the fifties.

The influence of Freemasonry in Washington’s life is further observed in that the oath he took as President on April 30, 1789 was administered by the Grand Master of Masons in New York, Robert R. Livingston. This strikes me as extremely significant that the oath of office for the first president of the United States was administered by a Masonic Grand Master. It gives one pause to consider to whom the true allegiance and oath was made.

I am quite certain that this information was not included in your American history lessons in the public school systems. From the cradle to the grave Americans are propagandized. They are fed a diet of falsehood and deception that will lead them to become good corporate citizens and patriotic supporters of a government that is at its heart Luciferian. If you find such a blunt declaration of the truth offensive, I invite you to judge this matter by the fruit you see, as Christ counseled His disciples to do. Can a government that began by giving implicit consent to the slave trade, that has declared it to be a basic right for a woman to murder her baby while in the womb, that has become the world’s chief proponent of homosexuality, be in any way deemed to be Christian? If it is true that a tree is known by its fruit, then as fruit inspectors we must conclude that Satan is the true guiding force in this nation’s government, and has been from its inception.

My aim in pointing these things out is to reveal that the world is drowning in falsehood and deception. It is also my desire to exhort the saints of God to look beyond the human hand to see the dark spiritual forces that are ruling in the shadows.

Although Ralph Epperson does an admirable job of revealing the hidden works of a secret government behind the visible governments of men, one thing you will not find in his book is a deeper delving to see that there is a further layer of control behind all. The Masons at the highest levels acknowledge a higher spiritual power that is directing them. The eye atop the pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States represents that spiritual being that is above all governments in this fallen world system. It is a symbol of Satan who parades himself as the all wise, all knowing, Grand Architect of the Universe.

The very word Mason is associated with building. All builders must be directed by a chief architect. The chief architect of the Freemasons is Lucifer. Only those who have passed through many degrees and have been deemed worthy and loyal, having their minds amenable to accept Lucifer as the god of light and truth, have the true character of Freemasonry revealed to them. Albert Pike, author of the encyclopedic Masonic tome titled Morals and Dogma stated that to the brothers of the 30th degree and above it could be divulged that their teachings were “Luciferian doctrines.” Satan is the great deceiver who deceives the whole world. He practices deception even upon his own followers.

II Corinthians 4:4
The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

In a well staged puppet show the one hand that is not seen is that of the puppet master. Today Satan is pulling the strings of mankind. Billions are dancing to his tune. Satan’s chief instrument to manipulate mankind and shape their actions is deception. He is like the Pied Piper. As he pipes his tune the masses of mankind are responding, following blindly wherever he leads.

In George Washington’s inaugural prayer, delivered on April 30, 1789, he included the following statement.

"No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States."

It should be noted that George Washington did not once mention Jesus Christ in his inaugural prayer, nor the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Understanding that he was a Freemason, whether he spoke with knowing intelligence, or in ignorance, that Invisible Hand guiding his actions was not Yahweh, but Lucifer. This makes his statement all the more troubling for those who are having their eyes opened to discern the truth of America’s founding.

As a Christian growing up in America I was fully immersed in the flood waters of Satanic propaganda. The enemy has been setting forth a picture of reality that is completely false. Americans are saturated with a fictional worldview whose author is Satan. There is no nation on earth that has escaped from this diabolical shaping of their views and beliefs. Tragically, the people of God have been no more successful in escaping the control of the puppet master than those who are strangers to the kingdom of God. The church has been drinking the waters pouring forth from the mouth of the dragon without discretion or discernment.

It is needful at this time for the people of God to wake up, to recognize the extent of the lies all around them. If they do not they will be swept away by the waters of the great dragon.
