Title: THE NEW WORLD ORDER FILES

Author: David Allen Rivera

Freemasons, or Masons, are members of a secret fraternal order known as

the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, whose goals are, supposedly, to

promote brotherhood. One of the major sourcebooks of Masonic doctrine is

_Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry_,

written in 1871 by Albert Pike, and considered to be the "Masons guide

for daily living." In it, he writes: "Masonry is a search after Light..."

According to early Masonic manuscripts, its origins can be traced back

to Adam, who was said to be the first Mason. The apron of Masonry

allegedly represents the fig leaves worn by Adam and Eve in the Garden

of Eden. The knowledge received by Adam after eating from the forbidden

tree, was carried on by his son Seth, and then Nimrod (who was

responsible for the Tower of Babel), the great-grandson of Noah. Dr.

Albert Mackey (33rd Degree), in writing his _Encyclopedia of

Freemasonry_, referred to the "York manuscript, No. 1" which contained

information from a parchment that dated back to the year 1560,/ /which

identified Babylon as the originator of Masonry. He also cited the Cooke

Manuscript ("The Legend of the Craft", which was written in 1420, and is

said to be the second oldest Masonic manuscript), which reveals that

Nimrod taught the craft of Masonry to the workers at the Tower of Babel.

When God confused their language, these secrets were said to be lost.

When King Solomon was building the Temple, it is taught that

Freemasonry was revived. Mackey said that the "Masonic Lodges were

initially dedicated to King Solomon, because he was our first Most

Excellent Grand Master." However, Martin L. Wagner revealed in _An

Interpretation of Freemasonry_ that the "name Solomon is not the

Israelitish king. It is the name in form, but different in its meaning.

It is a substitute...a composite, Sol-om-on, the names of the sun in

Latin, Indian and Egyptian, and is designed to show the unity of several

god-ideas in the ancient religions, as well as with those of Freemasonry."

A story recounted in Masonic tradition, has to do with Hiram Abiff, a

Syrian Master Mason, known as the architect of Tyre, who was said to be

hired by Solomon to build the Temple. He was killed by three

Fellow-Crafts, when he would not reveal the secret Masonic word (so they

could get Master's wages in foreign countries), which was engraved on a

gold triangle he wore around his neck. Solomon found the triangle, and

had it placed in a secret vault under the Temple. Abiff later became a

Christ-like figure to the Masons. Mackey said that "Hiram represent(s) a

popular Syrian god against whom the champions of Jehovah (the Jews)

strove ceaselessly." Another Mason, Daniel Sickles, correlates him with

an Egyptian god, and Pierson's _Traditions of Freemasonry_ said that he

actually represented all of the pagan sun gods, as does Mackey's

_Lexicon of Freemasonry_. What this does, is to relate the message that

it was the sun god who was the builder of the Temple, which makes this

Temple symbolic, and not to be confused with the Jewish Temple. Pike

said in his _Morals and Dogma_, that the "Temple of Solomon presented a

symbolic image of the Universe; and resembled, in its arrangements and

furniture, all the temples of the ancient nations that practiced the

mysteries."

In ancient Greece, there were organized groups, or guilds (like our

unions), such as the "Dionysiacs," and in Rome, the "Collegium

Muriorum," who built the temples and stadiums. These groups who were the

forerunners of the Masons, were the draftsmen, builders, carpenters, and

craftsmen who erected the huge cathedrals, castles, abbeys and churches

during the Middle Ages. Because they "lodged" or lived together during

the construction, this is where the term "masonic lodge" was originated.

The First Grand Lodge of England met at York in 926, where they adopted

handsigns and passwords to identify themselves. Their workplace, or

Lodges, was where their initiations, rites, rituals and ceremonies took

place. Within their inner circles, witchcraft was practiced.

In the 13th century, they formed an association, headquartered at

Cologne, with Lodges at Strasbourg, Vienna, and Zurich. They called

themselves Free Masons, and had ceremonies for initiation. Near the end

of the 16th century, people who weren't builders, were admitted into the

fraternity, and were called "Accepted" Masons. They were usually

distinguished members of the community, or in short, a source of

funding. Becoming more symbolic, the working masons and builders

eventually quit, as did the Accepted Masons, who had become disappointed

at what the organization really was.

The Bruton Vault

Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), an English Lord, the son of Elizabeth I,

was recognized as the "founder of Free Masonry...the guiding light of

the Rosicrucian Order, the members of which kept the torch of the true

universal knowledge, the Secret Doctrine of the Ages, alive during the

dark night of the Middle Ages." Fluent in many languages, he was known

to have edited the King James Version of the Bible, and is believed to

be the true author of the William Shakespeare plays. He had been

initiated by a secret society of intellectuals dedicated to civil and

religious freedom. In his book _Instauratio Magna_, he wrote of a

movement to "reorganize the sciences and restore man to the mastery over

nature that he was conceived to have lost by the fall of Adam."

Bacon's novel, _New Atlantis_, published in 1627, a year after his

death, by his secretary William Rawley, represented his vision for a new

"Golden Age." It was about a crew of shipwrecked sailors who arrived on

the shores a mysterious, unknown land, whose people had a much higher

developed culture and possessed a technology unlike anything they had

ever seen. He talked about buildings a half a mile high, flying

machines, underwater vehicles, and a government of

philosopher-scientists working in behalf of an enlightened group of

people who were committed to learning, and a higher level of achievement.

Manly Palmer Hall (1901-1990), founder of the Philosophical Research

Society in 1934, and one of the foremost experts in the realm of the

metaphysical and the occult, authored over 200 books, and in six decades

delivered more than 8,000 lectures. In his 1944 book _The Secret Destiny

of America_, he revealed that even though the _New Atlantis_ had been

completed, the entire version was never published. He wrote: "The final

(unpublished) chapters revealed the entire pattern secret societies had

been working on for thousands of years to achieve the ideal commonwealth

in the political world." It included details for nurturing the "New

Order of the Ages," how this long range "Great Plan" would restore

mankind to the original state that was intended to reflect the inner

philosophical tradition of Freemasonry, and proposed timetables.

In _The Secret Destiny of America_ Hall also wrote: "There exists in

the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of

enlightened humans united in what might be termed, an Order of the

Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual

perceptions have revealed to them that civilization has a secret

destiny...The outcome of this 'secret destiny' is a World Order ruled by

a King with supernatural powers. This King was descended of a divine

race, that is, he belonged to the Order of the Illumined for those who

come to a state of wisdom than belong to a family of heroes - perfected

human beings."

The full-length version (which included the missing chapters) was taken

to Jamestown in 1635 by his descendant Nathaniel Bacon, where it was

buried under the altar of the old brick church. In 1676, it was moved to

Williamsburg, Virginia, where it was buried "in a great vault beneath

the tower center of the first brick church in Bruton Parish." The

current church, known as the Bruton Parish Church (which was declared a

National Historic Landmark), was built in 1715, and within the grounds

of its graveyard (the site of the original church), and is where the

Bruton Vault is located.

It is believed by many serious researchers that Sir Francis Bacon faked

his death (actually dying in 1684), and constructed the vault with the

help of his Wild Goose Club. It is a 10 ft. by 10 ft. brick vault,

possibly part of an underground Freemasonry Lodge, that is buried 20 ft.

deep, and marked by certain strategically placed encoded memorials in

the cemetery above.

The reason for the Rockefellers making such an investment to restore

the town of Colonial Williamsburg, was the prospect of locating the

fabled vault, which had three tunnels leading to it from homes in the

area. Fortunately, ownership of the grounds remain in the hands of the

Page and Bray families.

Deposited along with the unabridged copy of the _New Atlantis _were

other secret documents, including ancient writings that had been in the

possession of certain secret societies. One such artifact was the "Book

of Thoth," which had been retrieved from a golden box out of an inner

sanctuary in an ancient Egyptian temple. Known as the Sacred Torch, the

most important document ever given to Man, it is believed that anyone

who is able to decipher it will have their consciousness enhanced to the

point that they will be able to see the invisible Immortals and enter

the presence of the Superior Gods. Manley Hall wrote in his book, the

_Secret Teachings of All Ages_ that the Book "was lost to the Ancient

World with the decay of the Mysteries, but its faithful initiates

carried it sealed to another land. The book is still in existence..."

The vault also contains instructions, maps, and documents that lead to

144 sacred burial sites of certain forefathers, patriots and early

leaders in our country that in turn contain original writings, diaries

and documentation that will prove how history has been rewritten today

to reflect the biased political views of certain leaders in this

country. Hall wrote in the _The Secret Destiny of America_: "Not only

were the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they

received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which

helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular

purpose known only to the initiated few."

Masonry was not always as it appears today. Many early Christian

patriots during the foundational period of American history were part of

the predominate York Rite, which promoted values, ethics, and

brotherhood among its members. It has been reported that true

Freemasonry Lodges were established in the cellars of Episcopalian and

Presbyterian Churches. It was the Illuminati infiltration of the

American Fraternal Lodges by the Jesuit-spawned Scottish Rite that moved

through the ranks like a virus to take them over from within.

It is believed that the vault also contains a quantity of gold, an

original edition of the Bacon-edited King James Bible, inventions that

were ahead of its time, and a device that will enable their codes to be

deciphered.

There is some evidence to indicate that handwritten copies of certain

documents were made during the administration of President Washington

and hidden at a remote location in Virginia.

According to Colin Dyer in his book _Symbolism in Craft Masonry_, in

1804, Thomas Jefferson (3rd President) was the last person to examine

the contents of this vault. It was believed that the contents were

removed and placed in a secret location either at the University of

Virginia (founded by Jefferson), or the capitol building in Washington,

D.C. However, Manley Hall became a leading proponent for the Bruton

Vault as being the location of this sacred repository. His quest to

protect it from falling into the wrong hands cost him his life, because

he was strangled to death by two members of the Skull and Bones Society

- Morgan Brandt and Daniel Fritz. Luckily all of his research notes,

documents, maps, books, photos, and artifacts relating to 50 years of

work on the vault had already been sent to a secret location in Russia.

In _The Secret Destiny of America_ Hall wrote: "America's true destiny

will remain a secret as long as great masses of people have no knowledge

whatsoever that enlightened humanitarians through thousands of years

have in their own and succeeding generations remained united on the high

purpose of eventually instituting democratic rule throughout the world.

It is necessary to know, too, that it was anciently planned that

leadership would fall to America- to a nation established on the

Northern continent of the Western Hemisphere...Long before Columbus,

they were aware of the existence of the Western hemisphere, and selected

it to be the site of the philosophic empire. The American continent was

set apart for establishing here a great democratic nation, centuries

before the founding fathers and colonists envisioned the Union...

When President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site, and learned of its

significance, he vowed to protect it, and out of appreciation, he was

honored by having his image placed on Mount Rushmore. David Rockefeller

and Queen Elizabeth have shown a particular interest in the vault's

contents.

The contents of the Bruton Vault are priceless, and considered so

important that it is referred to as the "Seventh Seal."

A group known as Sir Francis Bacon's Sages of the Seventh Seal have

been the driving force behind the movement to uncover the vault. Though

there were unsuccessful attempts in 1938 (which did discover the

original church foundations) and 1992, they now believe that a spiral

staircase exists beneath the pyramid-shaped monument that marks the

centuries-old graves of David and Elizabeth Bray, and leads to the

vault, which they refer to as a "Freemasonry library." Armed with new

evidence from their continued research, the group has lobbied the Rev.

Herman Hollerith IV, rector of the Episcopal church, to authorize a new,

controlled, archeological dig, to raise the vault, so that its contents

can be studied, and protected from forces hostile to the information it

contains.

The Growth of the Mason Movement

Inigo Jones (1573-1652) reorganized the Lodges, introducing the

Descartes rationalism, and they were now known as the Free and Accepted

Masons. Elias Ashmole, a banker, Rosicrucian, and founder of the Oxford

Museum, who became a Mason in 1648, established the three basic degrees:

1) Entered Apprentice, 2) Fellow-Craft, and 3) Master Mason.

On June 24, 1717, the four lodges in London were united into a Grand

Lodge (sometimes called the Grand Mother Lodge) by three members who met

at the Apple-Tree Tavern, thus beginning the era of modern Freemasonry.

Rather than being a guild of stone masons and builders, they altered

their philosophy and became a pseudo-religion who "tried to cooperate

with the Church so as to be able to work from the inside, rationalize

the doctrine of Jesus and empty it gradually of its mystical content.

Freemasonry hoped to become a friendly and legal heir to Christianity.

They considered logic and the rules of scientific thinking as being the

only absolute and permanent element of the human mind." By 1725, the

movement had spread to France.

The members of the Grand Lodge of England brought their fraternity to

America. In 1730, Daniel Core was appointed Provincial Grand Master of

New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, after the first lodge was

established in Philadelphia. A lodge was established in Boston in 1733.

By the time of the American Revolution, there were 100 Masonic lodges.

The Masons were firmly entrenched in the eastern colonies, but since 95%

of the population identified themselves as Christians, they had to

modify their philosophies to include Christian teachings. The Grand

Lodge of the United States was established in 1777, which officially cut

all ties to their British counterparts.

One writer summed up Masonry this way: "Freemasonry has incorporated

bits of other systems in its initiations and higher degrees, such as

mystery schools, Mithraism, the Egyptian priesthood, the system of the

Pythagoreans, Essenes, Cabalists, Druids, the Orders of the Knighthood,

Rosicrucians, Arabic secret societies, and the Knights Templar."

Masonry slowly spread throughout the world: France (1718-25) , Ireland

(1725-26), Spain (1726-27), Holland (1731), Germany (1730-33), Africa

(1735), Scotland (1736), Portugal (1736), Switzerland (1737), Italy

(1733-37), Russia (1731-40), Canada (1745), Sweden (1735-48),/ /Prussia

(1738-40)/, /Austria (1742), Poland (1784), and Mexico (1825).

Originally against the Masonic Order, Benjamin Franklin became a Mason

in 1731, at the age of 25. He became the Provincial Grand Master of

Pennsylvania in 1734, and was the "appointed spokesman" of the secret

societies. As ambassador to France, he was honored there at a major

Masonic lodge. It is believed that while he was on a diplomatic trip to

Paris to seek financing for the Revolution, he was initiated as a member

of the Illuminati. George Washington joined the Fredericksburg Lodge #4

in Virginia, in 1752, and when he was elected President in 1789, he was

the Grand Master of the Lodge (the highest official). He took his Oath

of Office on a Masonic Bible, as did his Vice-President, John Adams, who

was also a Mason. This Masonic Bible from the altar of St. Johns Lodge

No. 1 in New York City, which was printed in London in 1767, was later

used for other Oaths administered to Harding, Eisenhower, Carter, Reagan

and Bush. This Masonic Bible has an introductory section that explains

that Masonry is not a Christian fraternity, but in fact supports all

religions. Eight of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were

also members of the Fredericksburg Lodge. Actually, 51 of the 56 signers

were believed to be Masons; however, only 8 were known to be members,

while another 24 were suspected of being members.

It is also believed that 8 to 10 signers of the Articles of

Confederation were Masons. There were 9 Masons that signed the

Constition, while 6 others later became members. Other sources have used

the figure of 13, while some have said there were as many as 28 members

who signed the Constitution.

Because of the disagreement between various books and on-line sources,

representing Masonic and non-Masonic sources, it's easy to see how

erroneous information becomes perpetuated as fact, and truth. If the

Masons can't even nail down the specifics of their own history, then,

the only thing we can hope to do, is to produce as accurate of a picture

as possible, based on the facts.

Among the ranks of the Masons were: Patrick Henry (all Masonic

researchers do not agree on this), John Hancock, Paul Revere, John Paul

Jones, Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, John Marshall, Samuel Adams,

Anthony Wayne, Francis Marion ("The Swamp Fox") and Ethan Allen. In the

military, 24 of Washington's Major Generals, and 30 of his 33 Brigadier

Generals were Masons (another fact that Masonic researchers do not agree

on).

It was actually the Masons who instigated and carried out the American

Revolution. The secrecy of the Masonic lodges allowed the Colonial

patriots to meet and discuss strategy. It was commonly believed that the

reason for the Revolution was "taxation without representation", when

actually it was because the Parliament in the 1760's passed a law that

no colony could issue its own money. The colonies had to issue bonds,

and sell them to the Bank, who would then loan them money. This forced

the colonies to pay interest on their money. The Revolution was ignited

by the Boston Tea Party, which was planned during a dinner at the

Bradlee home. The participants were from the St. Andrew Lodge in Boston,

who dressed up as Mohawk Indians, and went aboard the Dartmouth, which

was anchored in the harbor, and dumped its load of tea overboard. The

British government responded by closing the port, and sending in British

troops. Empress Catherine the Great of Russia, who wasn't controlled by

the International Bankers, refused to send in 20,000 Russian troops

against the colonists, when asked by King George III of England. The

attack unified the colonies against England.

The Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Freemasonry was established in

Charleston, South Carolina in 1801, because that area was geographically

located on the 33rd parallel. They are an extension of French

Freemasonry, and considered liberal. In 1755, the Ancient and Accepted

Scottish Rite of Freemasonry had expanded to 32 degrees, and then they

added a 33rd degree. In 1813, the Northern Supreme Council was

established, consisting of 15 states, and was headquartered in Boston.

They were an extension of English Freemasonry, and are considered

conservative. The Supreme Council, which represented the Southern

jurisdiction, relocated to Washington, D.C., and covers the remaining 35

states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. protectorates. It is

considered the Mother Supreme Council of the World.

Among the Presidents who have been Masons: Washington, Jefferson (33rd

Degree), Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson (32nd

Degree and Grand Master), Garfield , McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft,

Harding (32nd Degree), Franklin Roosevelt (32nd Degree), Truman (33rd

Degree and Grand Master), Eisenhower, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson (1st

Degree), Nixon, Ford (33rd Degree), Carter, Reagan (33rd Degree), and

George H. W. Bush, Sr.

Many State Governors, U.S. Senators and Congressmen are Masons. The

Masonic Bible says that "for well over 150 years, the destiny of this

country has been determined largely by men who were members of the

Masonic fraternity."

There are about 16,000 Blue or Symbolic Lodges, with a Grand Lodge in

every state, which represent more than four million members. There are

150 Grand Lodges in the world, and a world-wide membership of over

6,000,000.

Members must be 21 years old, however, sons of members can be initiated

at 18. Before consideration, an initiate must prove themselves to be

"mentally and physically competent, of good moral character, and believe

in the existence of a Supreme Being." Among their affiliated

organizations: The Order of Demolay, The Order of Rainbow for Girls, and

The Order of Job's Daughters, which allow children as young as 11 to

become indoctrinated in Masonic teaching. The Order of the Eastern Star,

Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and Daughters of

the Nile are organizations closely aligned with the Masons.

Their literature claims that "Freemasonry is not a religion even though

it is a religion in character...does not pretend to take the place of

religion nor serve as a substitute for the religious beliefs of its

members...(and) accepts men, found to be worthy, regardless of religious

convictions." They claim that they exist "to make good men better

through its firm belief in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man

(and) consists of men bound together by bonds of Brotherly Love and

Affection."

Examining Masonic Tradition

Any organization which strives to adhere to such a high moral standard

certainly should deserve our admiration and respect. However, why have

they elicited the criticism that they have? The Vatican has issued many

Edicts condemning Masonry: Pope Clement XII in 1738, Pope Benedict XIV

in 1751, Pope Plus VII in 1821, Pope Leo XII in 1825, Pope Plus VIII in

1829, Pope Gregory XVI in 1832, Pope Plus IX in 1846/ /and 1873, and

Pope Leo XIII in 1884 and 1892. Pope Leo XXIII said that the goal of the

Masons was the "overthrow of the whole religious, political and social

order based on Christian institutions and the establishment of a state

of things based on pure naturalism." Until 1974, the Roman Catholic

Church had forbidden its members to be Masons, and on March 21, 1981,

the Vatican warned that "all Roman Catholics who belong to Masonic

lodges risk excommunication."

In 1784, and again in 1845, the Bavarian government considered Masonry

a danger to the state. In 1814, The Regency of Milan and Governor of

Venice echoed these same sentiments. King John VI of Portugal issued

orders in 1816, and again in 1824, prohibiting the operation of the

fraternity. In Russia, in 1820, Alexander I banished the Order.

Many writers in the late 1800's, such as Archbishop Meurin and Dr.

Bataille, said that Masonry was just a cover organization for Satan

worship, which occurred within its higher degrees, and was unknown to

the ordinary member. In 1921, Dr. James Anderson wrote a booklet on

Freemasonry called _The Anderson Constitution_ in which he wrote:

"Freemasonry rapidly expanded in Europe. In France, a number of the

Masonic sects dabbled with magic and occultism. In Germany some were

called Order of the Gold, and Rosy Cross (or Rosicrucians). In England,

during the 1880's, the famous magical society, the Hermetic Order of the

Golden Dawn adopted most of the Masonic grades." Many Druid ceremonies

and witchcraft rites have been incorporated into Masonic rituals.

So, are the Masons a Christian organization? The answer is a resounding

No! Their literature claims that Jesus was just a man, equal to Mohammed

and Krishna, the Hindu God. He is called the "son of Joseph," not the

Son of God. Initiates are told that Masonic rituals are "based on the

Bible," however in Chase's _Digest of Masonic Law_ it says that "Masonry

has nothing whatever to do with the Bible...it is not founded upon the

Bible, for it were it would not be Masonry, it would be something else."

Chase said that the Bible is just one of the "holy books" of man, equal

to the Koran, Hindu Scriptures and others. Its literal meaning was meant

only for the ignorant masses. At the end of the initiation for the Royal

Arch degree, the initiate has the lost name of "God" whispered to him:

"Jebulon." Mackey, in his _Encyclopedia of Freemasonry_, said that

"Freemasonry is not Christianity" and indicates that this name actually

represents a composite of the names of the sun god of three religions:

"Jah," the Syrian form of Jehovah; "Eel," which is Baal; and "On," the

Egyptian sun god. J. D. Buck (32nd degree) wrote in _Mystic Masonry_

(1925): "The only personal God Freemasonry accepts is humanity in

toto...Humanity therefore is the only personal God that their Masonic

philosophy is that God is whatever you want him to be and is referred to

in general terms as the "deity" and the "Great Architect of the

Universe," but in higher degrees, he is identified as a force of nature,

usually the sun.

Mackey, in his _Masonic Rituals_ said that the elimination of the name

of Jesus, and references to him, in Bible verses used in rituals are

"slight but necessary modifications." Mackey also wrote in his _Lexicon

of Freemasonry_: "The religion then of Masonry is pure theism on which

its different members engraft their particular opinions, but they are

not permitted to introduce them into the lodge or to connect their truth

or falsehood with the truth of Masonry...A Christian Mason is not

permitted to introduce his own peculiar opinions with regard to Christ's

mediatorial office into the Lodge." No masonic prayers in monitors,

handbooks and guides, end in Jesus' name, and if it is discovered that

they do, the Grand Lodge of that state will revoke their charter. Edmond

Ronayne a Master Mason), wrote on page 74 of the _Masonic Handbook_

(later revised to eliminate the passage): "When a brother reveals any of

our great secrets...or whenever a minister prays in the name of Christ

in any of our assemblies, you must always hold yourself in readiness, if

called upon, to cut his throat from ear to ear, pull out his tongue by

the roots, and bury his body at the bottom of some lake or pond."

According to Morris in _The Freemason's Monitor_ (or _Webb's Monitor_),

which omits any reference to the name of Jesus: "Prayer...should be of a

general character, containing nothing offensive to any class of

conscientious brethren."

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993), author of _The Power of Positive

Thinking_ was a 33rd degree Mason, and his name appeared in many Masonic

publications. In March, 1991, he was featured in the cover story of _The

Scottish Rite Journal_ (formerly known as the _New Age_ magazine), and

is quoted as saying that "Masonry became an early and essential part of

my success." On Sunday, February 24, 1991, Peale had told the

congregation of Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral in California:

"Jesus Christ, Buddha and Krishna are examples of great philosophers who

taught how to use mind power." In May, 1991, at a Dallas, Texas seminar

for Christian writers, Dina Donahue, a contributing editor for

_Guidepost_ magazine (which Peale founded), said that any submission to

the publication can never refer to the deity of Jesus, and claim that He

is the only means by which salvation can be achieved. He can only be

presented in a historical context as a prophet and philosopher. She said

that the reason for this was that "_Guidepost_ is an interfaith

magazine, and Dr. Peale does not want to offend those who are not

Christians."

In _Les Sectes et Societies Secretes_ published in 1863, Le Couteulx de

Canteleu wrote that the goal of the Masonic Order "was, is and will

always be the struggle against the Church and the Christian religion..."

Joseph Fort Newton wrote in _The Builders_: "Masonry...is Religion, a

worship in which all good men may unite, that each may share the faith

of all...Where else, except in a Masonic lodge, could men of many

religions meet, each praying for all and all for one." Mackey wrote in

his _Textbook of Masonic Jurisprudence_, that Masonry is "undoubtedly a

religious institution"; and also in his _Manual of the Lodge_, he

emphatically states that "Masonry is a religious institution." Buck

wrote in _Mystic Masonry_ that Masonry is "a world wide

religion...Masonry is the universal religion only because and so long as

it embraces all religions."

High level Masons believe that Lucifer never fell to earth, and that

Lucifer is really God, and refer to Jehovah by the name of "Adonay,"

saying that he is the god of evil because he forces men to be

subservient to his repressive dictates. Masonic books given to

handpicked members of the 32nd and 33rd Degrees, say that Jesus was an

impostor, and that Lucifer is the true God. The Masons have their own

Luciferian based calendar. Where ours is based on the years before

(B.C.) and after (A.D.) the birth of Christ, theirs counts its years

with the suffix A.L. means Anno Lucis or "Year of Light (Lucifer)."

In _Morals and Dogma_, Pike wrote: "Every Masonic lodge is a temple of

religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion...Masonry, like

all 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...to

conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them

away from it...The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a

teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason." He wrote that "every

man's conception of God must be proportioned to his mental cultivation,

and intellectual powers, and moral excellence. God is, as man conceives

him, the reflected image of man himself." The next statement reduces the

Masonic philosophy to a single premise. Pike writes: "The true name of

Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a

black god...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!"

These various passages should settle any arguments concerning the

anti-Christian nature of the Masons. Their role in history seemed to be

to act as a diluting factor, to lessen the impact of Christianity

through tolerance, and to politically work towards the goals established

by the Illuminati.

The Masonic Organizational Structure

The Blue Lodge (Symbolic Lodge of Masonry):

1) Entered Apprentice

2) Fellow-Craft

3) Master Mason

Albert Pike explained in _Morals & Dogma_: "The Blue Degrees are but

the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are
