Paganism Part 5 (Ref.47) - 11 January 2018 (From the pen of Celia Joy Martins)

 

The PAGAN (IDOLATRY) FLAME is STILL BURNING (2)

ALL PATHS LEAD TO ancient BABYLON:

Revelations 17 tells us that the GREAT HARLOT (BABYLON - in general GENDERLESS - but symbolically portrayed as an IMMORAL "WOMAN") SEATED ON MANY WATERS. (Rev. 17:1 "One of the angels who had the seven bowls then came and spoke to me, saying, Come with me! I WILL SHOW you the DOOM (SENTENCE, JUDGMENT) of the GREAT HARLOT (IDOLATRESS) who IS SEATED ON MANY WATERS. [Jer. 51:13 "O Bybylon, you who DWELL by MANY WATERS, RICH in TREASURES, YOUR END HAS COME, and the LINE MEASURING YOUR LIFE IS CUT"].)

 

Jer. 51:24 "And I (YAHWEH) will COMPLETELY REPAY BABYLON and ALL ITS INHABITANTS of CHALDEA for ALL the EVIL that THEY HAVE DONE ..."

 

The RULERS of the EARTH HAVE JOINED in HER (BABYLON'S) PROSTITUTION AND IMMORALITY:

Rev. 17:2 "SHE with WHOM the RULERS of the EARTH HAVE JOINED IN PROSTITUTION (IDOLATRY) and WITH THE WINE OF WHOSE IMMORALITY (sexual immorality and perversity, sin, sinfulness, badness, ungodliness, error of your ways, irreverence, wickedness, transgression, corruption, dishonesty, iniquity, debauchery, self-indulgence, shamelessness) the INHABITANTS of the EARTH HAVE BECOME INTOXICATED".

 

:3-4 And the angel bore me away [rapt] in the Spirit into a desert (wilderness) and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was all covered with blasphemous titles (names) and he had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was robed in PURPLE and SCARLET and BEDECKED with gold, precious stones, and pearls [and she was] holding in her hand a GOLDEN CUP FULL OF THE ACCURSED (awful, horrible, terrible, detestable, vile) OFFENSES (transgressions, crimes, wrongdoings, sins, evil doings) AND THE FILFTH OF HER LEWDNESS (filthiness, vulgarity, profanity, vileness, rudeness, immorality, obscenity) AND VICE (wickedness, badness, evilness, maliciousness, malevolence, malignity, evil)." [Jer. 51:7 "BABYLON was a GOLDEN CUP IN YAHWEH'S HAND, MAKING ALL the EARTH DRUNKEN. The NATIONS DRANK OF HER WINE; therefore the NATIONS HAVE GONE MAD].

 

HER NAME - BABYLON the GREAT on her FOREHEAD:

:5 And on her FOREHEAD THERE WAS INSCRIBED A NAME OF MYSTERY [with a SECRET SYMBOLIC MEANING]; BABYLON the GREAT, the MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES and of the FILFTH AND ATROCITIES  [killings, murders, violence, massacres, brutalities, barbarisms, evils, acts of violence] AND ABOMINATIONS [atrocities, horrors, disgusts, cruelties by murder and killings] of the EARTH.

 

:6 And I also SAW that the WOMAN WAS DRUNK (drunk with the BLOOD of the SAINTS (true believers) and the BLOOD of the MARTYRS [who witnessed] for YAHSHUA. And when I saw her I was utterly AMAZED and WONDERED GREATLY.

 

:7 But the angel said to me, WHY DO YOU WONDER? I WILL EXPLAIN to you the [SECRET SYMBOLIC MEANING of the] MYSTERY OF THE WOMAN ...

 

:15 And the angel further said to me. The WATERS that you OBSERVED, WHERE THE HARLOT IS SEATED, ARE RACES AND MULTITUTES AND NATIONS AND DIALECTS (languages).

 

THE "WOMAN" is the "GREAT CITY" (BABYLON) - which DOMINATES AND CONTROLS the WORLD LEADERS:

:18 And the WOMAN that you SAW IS HERSELF the GREAT CITY WHICH DOMINATES AND CONTROLS THE RULERS AND THE LEADERS OF THE EARTH."

 

FREEMASONRY GLOBALLY - MASONIC BROTHERHOODS:

In Part 4 of Paganism we have already observed that Freemasonry is also a REMNANT of the ancient RELIGION of the CHALDEANS (Babylonians - Chaldea a part of Babylon as is stated in various verses of Scripture - Jer. 51:24 "And I will completely REPAY BABYLON and ALL THE INHABITANTS OF CHALDEA for ALL the EVIL that THEY HAVE DONE ..."

Part 10 INFLUENCES on the SOCIETIES of the WORLD

Chapter 2 - Masonic Brotherhoods

The African Blood Brotherhood

The “African Blood Brotherhood for African Liberation and Redemption” (ABB-ALR) was a radical American liberation organization established in 1919 in New York City (summer 1919 was a time of racial rioting and violence in America).

The group was established as a propaganda organization built on the model of the “Secret Society” based on Masonic secrecy, Rites and Rituals.

The monthly publication - “The Crusader”

In September 1918 Cyril Briggs (born in the island of Nevis) who immigrated to Harlem in 1905 was hired in 1912, as a journalist by the New York Amsterdam News. Briggs work there throughout the World War I and in September 1918 launched a monthly publication called “The Crusader.”

Pan-African Nationalism - Hamitic League of the World

The Crusader promoted the idea of repatriation of blacks to a decolonized Africa, and was founded by George Wells Parker, a black business-man. He was the official mouthpiece of the Hamitic League of the World, a pan-African Nationalist group. Parker published articles in the journal using it as a vehicle for his views. He proclaimed that Africa was the “cradle of civilization” and argued that the black race was superior.

 

In 1919 the Crusader founded the African Blood Brotherhood to serve as a self-defense organization for blacks. Briggs began to establish connections with pioneer black American Communists and joined the Communist Party himself in 1921.

 

Because of the Brotherhood’s Socialist orientation, it evolved into a propaganda arm of the Communist Party of America and went underground in the 1920’s.

 

Freemasonry in Africa

The black Mason Society in Africa had and has many members. Sons in the Freemason Craft are: John Kuffuor, and Jerry J. Rawlings, former presidents of Ghana. Omar Hadj Bongo of Gabon and Paul Biya, president of Cameroon. Idris Deby, president of Chad, Mamadou president of Niger and Denis Sassou Nguesso president of the Congo and his predecessor Pascal Lissouba. Also Robert Guei former head of state of the Ivory Coast.

Freemasonry in Nigeria & Senegal

Newswatch articles also show that “freemasons in Nigeria, were in the drivers’ seats in the public and private sectors of the economy from the colonial days up to the late seventies. when the Yakubu Gowon military government promulgated a decree which classified Freemasonry as one of the banned secret societies.

Its members in the public services were ordered to renounce their membership or resign. Newswatch investigation has revealed that Gowon was bowing to pressures mounted on his government by Islamic leaders, the Baptist and Catholic Churches that were not comfortable with the activities of Freemasons in their fold.”

In Senegal, Freemasons are found in the seat of power despite the fact that the majority of the people adhere to the Muslim faith

Freemasonry in South Africa

In South Africa, the influences of Freemasonry were and still are substantial in the white and the black communities. Originally founded in the Cape of Good Hope, it had come from the Netherlands with the Dutch settlers and moved with some of the Afrikaner Voortrekkers and others from the south into the northern parts of South Africa as part of their “Christian” heritage.

 

Already nestled in the Reformed Church founded by the Dutch, it moved unnoticed with the church and its members. The Afrikaner people with their faith in the Lord, relied on the “church” as their “spiritual” guidance and for their spiritual needs. The church had failed them!  Freemasonry was disguised in “light,” and it “sounded” so very right ... for “God and my Order.”

Nelson Mandela is said to be a Freemason and the records show that he was made a member on site of the Prince Hall Lodge.

Freemasonry in Europe

England – Freemasonry influential in the monarchy

Newswatch declare that “In Britain, Freemasonry has a strong influence on the monarchy.”

Articles on the subject note: “The Duke of Edinburgh, is a high degree Mason.” In a web-article of the Official Journal of the United Grand Lodge of England, dated Thursday, 05 September 2013, it is stated that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, reaches 60 years as member of the craft.”

The Pro Grand Master Peter Lowndes  said in his article “We often joke that nothing in freemasonry ever changer or that, if it does, it takes a good many years to do so.” The article regarding Prince Philip, stated that the Freemasons sent a loyal message to Queen Elizabeth, regarding her 60th year since coronation.

1953 – Coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth – committed by Freemason Fisher – Archbishop of Canterbury

It further noted that the coronation itself took place on the 2nd of June 1953 and the coronation ceremony was conducted by the committed Freemason, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury. Back then, he was serving as the Grand Chaplain (1937) while being bishop of Chester. The article conclude that “he was reappointed Grand Chaplain in 1939 at the same  time of his appointment as Bishop of London.”

The day after the Queen’s coronation, on the 3rd of June 1953, during the Mason Quaterly Communication, the Earl of Scarbrough, Grand Master, gave the following address:

“Brethren, we meet in Grand Lodge this afternoon on the day following the Coronation of our Gracious Queen. This is an event which stirs the hearts of us all – in these Islands, in every part of the Commonwealth and, indeed, throughout the world. We, Freemasons, remembering in particular the many greatly prized links which we have had, and those which we still have, with the Royal House, have our hearts full of loyalty and prayer towards Her Majesty.”

The article close with the following address:

“We celebrate another royal sixtieth anniversary this year – that of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’s sixty years as a subscribing member of the Craft. The Grand Master sent him a message of congratulations to mark the occasion and, in reply, Prince Philip asked for his thanks and best wishes to be expressed to all members.”

The Duke, Michael of Kent is the traditional Grand Master of the Great United Lodge of England. He is also a representative of the royal family. The British House of Lords and the House of Commons have high percentages of their members as Freemasons.

The British “executive arm of government” and the security agencies including the Scotland Yard Police have good numbers of Freemasons in its service. 

In Canada, many European countries and Latin America, the influence of Freemasonry is said to be very strong. Throughout the history of Europe in all fields of human endeavor such as kings, presidents, politicians, doctors, writers, journalists, tycoons of industries, composers, generals, scientists, educators, philosophers, astronauts and in all cultural, social and civic leadership the Freemasonry has produced a huge number of significant individuals as is noted in the articles.

Why do people join Freemasonry or Brotherhoods?                         

The temptation of power, knowledge and wealth are the most effective reasons for people to join Freemasonry. The vast majority of members of these organizations would never realize the true essence of these organizations and the hidden agenda.

All-powerful (like gods)

In Freemasonry the “normal” member would stay on the the first three degrees of the 33 degrees of Freemasonry, and have no idea of the hidden agenda. Because of the temptations above, they are all willing to take the Mason “pledge of alliance” and because of the penalties that applied when secrets are revealed also keep them from the higher degrees. In fact the higher degrees are only obtainable if a person is handpicked by those of the higher degrees, and it is only a few who KNOW the full agenda. They are the illuminated ones – the illuminati. All powerful (like gods) they occupy top level positions in the police, and military forces around the world.

Although the Society is “undercover workers” they are not so visible in most of the countries where they exist but they are men of immense influence and wealth and found in all levels of every society.

They are the world “rulers” 

These facts are exposed in a recent book on Freemasons written by H. Paul Jeffers. In his book titled: Freemasons: Inside the World’s Oldest Secret Society, Jeffers declared that most of the Freemasons who are the ‘forces’ in various fields of  all enterprises, live in the United States of America, the world’s only surviving super power.

According to Jeffers, he had done extensive research on the secret craft. Jeffers had found out that 5.9 million Freemasons are living worldwide. 4.1 Million of the Freemasons live in the USA and Canada.

The remaining 1.8 million Freemasons an estimate of 550,000 live in England and Wales; 375,000 live in Australia and 400,000 live in Scotland.

Israel, Africa, India, and Japan, account for 288,000 while Ireland has 47,000 Freemasons. Europe has 80,000 Freemasons while Latin America 50,000 and the Philippines 10,000.

Freemasonry in America – a “Masonic Project”

According to thorough research inclusive of Books written on the subject, articles and web articles, it is found that the founding “fathers” of the United States were high degree masons. The United States of America is refer to as a “Masonic project”

 

Fifteen of the fifty six people who signed the “Declaration of Independence” in the year 1778 were practising Freemasonry. These freemasons included Thomas Jefferson, George Read, George Walton, John Renn, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Jopseph Hewes, John Hancock, Thomas Nelson Jr., Elbridge Gerry, William Hooper, Lyman Hall, Richard Stockton, William Whipple, and Robert Treat Payne.

 

Of the forty people who signed the United States of America’s constitution, twenty eight were “high” degree Masons, inclusive of Roger Sherman, George Washington and Franklin. Other signers of the constitution became involved in Freemasonry later.

 

It is said that up to 50 percent of the American generals in the American Revolution to attain independence from Britain were Freemasons. Freemasonry continued into the inner circle of the American government ever since.

 

Freemason signs and symbolism is seen in and around America, even in the design of federal governmental buildings and outlay in Washington DC. The inverted triangle (pyramid) can be seen and is even on the one dollar bill’s backside.

The Washington Monument and the Pentagon buildings wear the symbolism of Freemasonry (pentagram).

 

The one dollar bill

As in all countries where Freemasonry had its tentacles imparted into, Mason symbolism is usually given a “religious” or “religion of Christianity” connection. The eagle on the one dollar bill is in the organisation of Freemasonry is “symbolic” of St. John the Evangelist (St. John Ambulance in England, St. John Ambulance and St. John of God Hospital in Australia). By the admiration and veneration of the “Saint” who is a dead person his place in the spiritual realm has been taken by a demon entity, as is the case with all Saint and saint reverence and other “gods” in all the religions of the world.

 

The largest symbol on the dollar bill is the image of the freemason George Washington, who was the first president of America. George Washington was initiated into the Craft of Freemasonry November 1752 - Frederickburg Lodge Nr. 4, Frederickburg, Virginia. When he became president of the United States of America he served also as a Lodge Master.

 

Other Freemason presidents include Franklin D. Rooseveld, Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, James Monroe, Gerald R. Ford, Harry S Truman, James A. Garfield, Warren G. Harding and others.

 

Research show, that Freemasons occupied many and various top positions in parliament, police, and security agencies. Acting as vice-presidents, secretaries of state, justices of the supreme courts, chief justices they are the “rulers” - running the acts behind the scenes. Security agencies have “in-house” Freemason Lodges. Federal and state levels as well as the executive arms of the goverment in the United States of America are strongly influenced by Freemasonry.

 

According to the writings of “Paul Jeffers”, all the presidents and vice presidents of the government of the “Republic of Texas” were Freemasons. He wrote that the lowest percentage of Masons who held executive positions in any of the four administrations was eighty five percent. During the last administration that carried Texas into the Union, all the executive positions in the government of the Republic were filled by Freemasons.

 

The past Grand Master and Secretary of the New York State Grand Lodge of Masons, Garry A. Henningsen, said the following: “Human imagination has always thrived in Freemasonry. We have enticed to our fraternity, artists, poets, warriors, inventors, manufacturers, explorers, pioneers, lawyers, government leaders, business tycoons, clergymen, astronauts, scientists and gentle-everyday family men made better because of their association with and love of our beloved Craft. It has been so from the very beginning,”

 

Jeffers concluded that “Henningsen is right. Freemasonry has attracted to its fold, eminent personalities such as Bill Gates, a philanthropist and chairman of Microsoft who is reputed to be the third richest man in the world, Henry Ford, a pioneer automobile manufacturer, and astronauts who have become famous as a result of their space missions. Among such great names are Edgar D. Mitchell, the sixth person to walk on the Moon surface, John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962, Leroy Gordon Cooper, the astronaut who made record breaking flights in Mercury 7, Mission in 1963 and in Gemini 5, in 1965. Virgil Grisson, a Mason astronaut, undertook the first manned maneuver in space in 1965 while James Benson Irwing along with three others, piloted the Lunar module “Falcon” on Apollo 15 Mission in 1971 and spent nearly 67 hours on the Moon surface.” (Jeffers H. Paul, Freemasons: Inside the World’s Oldest Secret Society)
