FREEDOM FROM MASONRY

"Masonry", "The Brotherhood", "The Lodge", "The Craft"

“But if I with the finger of God cast out

devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come

upon you. 21 When a strong man armed

keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

22 But when a stronger than he shall come

upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from

him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He

that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me

scattereth. 24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh

through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return

unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it

swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other

spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and

the last state of that man is worse than the first,” (Lk. 11:20—26). KJV

The Bible, the Word of God, is full of testimonies for our example how

God in Christ Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever is our

deliverer from all kinds of enemies be it physical, spiritual or financial!

Yes when God’s trusting ones cry to the LORD because of the

oppressors, He sends them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He delivers

them (Isa. 19:20).

WHAT IS DEMONIC BONDAGE?

Definition of bondage:

"Gk. Douleia is the power of physical corruption as against the freedom

of life.., and especially the bondage of the letter, of the elements, of a

ceremonial and institutional salvation that must be scrupulously and

painfully observed, as contrasted with the freedom of the children of

God, emancipated by faith in Jesus Christ." i

Symbolisms of Masonry:

1- Masonic candidate: Prepared for the

oath.

- "blindfold" as a sign of "spiritual

darkness".

- "cable tow" around his neck as a

sign of slavery, submission, to the Master and the Lodge.

2- Grand hailing "sign of distress".

3- "Grips: Apprentice, Master Mason...ii

(Asar, Wesir, Ausar, Unnefer)iii

Cult Center: Abydos, Busiris and Heliopolis

Myths: "Isis and Osiris"

MASONRY GOD

Egyptian mythology

soon developed into giving

the pharaoh at his death

the status of being Osiris,

while the new pharaoh

was given the status of

Osiris' son, Horus.

By 2000 BCE, this had

developed into the popular

belief that every man a

this death became Osiris.

Osiris is the god to

whom the credit of

learning the Egyptians

skills of law, agriculture,

and religion, is given.

A god of the earth and

vegetation, Osiris symbolized in his death the yearly drought and in his

miraculous rebirth the periodic flooding of the Nile and the growth of

grain. He was a god-king who was believed to have given Egypt

civilization.

Osiris was the first child of Nut and Geb, and therefore the brother of

Seth, Nephthys, and Isis. He was married to his sister, Isis. He was

also the father of Horus and Anubis. These traditions state that

Nephthys (mother of Anubis) assumed the form of Isis, seduced him

(perhaps with wine) and she became pregnant with Anubis.iv

The oldest religious texts refer to Osiris as the great god of the dead,

and throughout these texts it is assumed that the reader will understand

that he once possessed human form and lived on earth. As the first son

of Geb, the original king of Egypt, Osiris inherited the throne when

Geb abdicated. At this time the Egyptians were barbarous cannibals

and uncivilized. Osiris saw this and was greatly disturbed. Therefore,

he went out among the people and taught them what to eat, the art of

agriculture, how to worship the gods, and gave them laws. Thoth

helped him in many ways by inventing the arts and sciences and

giving names to things. Osiris was Egypt's greatest king who ruled

through kindness and persuasion. Having civilized Egypt, Osiris

traveled to other lands, leaving Isis as his regent, to teach other

peoples what he taught the Egyptians.v

The name "Osiris" is the Greek corruption of the

Egyptian name "Asar" (or Usar.) There are several

possibilities as to what this name means, "the Strength

of the Eye", is one. Another is "He Sees the Throne".

The oldest and simplest form of the name is the

hieroglyph of the throne over an eye (there are at least

158 versions of the name). At one point the first

syllable of the name was pronounced "Aus" or "Us" and

may have gained the meaning of the word usr,

"strength, might, power". At this time the Egyptians

supposed the name to mean something like the

"strength of the Eye" (i.e., the strength of the Sun-god

Re.)

Another possibility raised by an ancient hymn's author

is that the name "Unnefer" (another name by which

Osiris was known) comes from the roots un ("to open,

to appear, to make manifest") and neferu, ("good

things"). The author then wrote these lines in his hymn

to the god, "Thy beauty maketh itself manifest in thy

person to rouse the gods to life in thy name Unnefer".

In any case, even to the ancients, the origin of Osiris'

Egyptian name is a mystery.

Osiris was usually portrayed as a bearded, mummified

human with green skin and wearing the atef crown. His

hands emerge from the mummy wrappings and hold

the flail and crook.vi

WHAT IS A CURSE?

"A curse was considered to possess an inherent power of carrying

itself into effect. This can be illustrated by the nineteenth-century B.

C. Egyptian Execration Texts, which recorded the names of the

enemies of Egypt upon pottery bowls and figurines. These objects

were then cursed magically and smashed, in the belief - typical of

sympathetic magic - that the destruction of the nation’s enemies

would follow that of the pottery objects. When it was not possible to

commit such curses to writing so that they would find their mark ...,

it was frequently deemed sufficient to utter them aloud…. The

provisions of the Sinaitic agreement between God and Israel

included similar curses as the penalties for disobedience. When the

Promised Land had been occupied, the curses were to be placed

symbolically on Mt. Ebal ...to remind Israel of the penalties which

disobedience would bring upon the nation." vii

Why Is There a Need for Deliverance From the Demonic Bondage

and Curse of Freemasonry?

Freemasonry preaches another gospel!

The Bible tells us that people who preach another gospel are "accursed."

According to Strong’s Concordance this means, "bound under a great

curse."

{8} “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel

unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be

accursed. {9} As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach

any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be

accurse,”. (Gal. 1:8-9). KJV

By being a part and supporting and organization that preaches another

gospel, the Freemason brings one under a curse.

Freemasonry preaches another gospel and promises salvation without

Jesus Christ based entirely on their good Masonic works.

This is explicitly taught in the ritual of the third degree, the Master

Mason degree.viii

FREE FROM DEMONIC TORTURE

Christians can live free from mental torture, panic, envy, hatred, pride,

self-pity, addiction, gluttony and all other forms of bondage, oppression

and defilement!

Because of improper judgments many of God’s people don’t live in

divine health or divine prosperity, even though salvation through Jesus

enables us to return to the original position Adam enjoyed with God. In

that original state, Adam was healthy. No sickness or disease existed in

his body, because no sickness or disease existed on earth. Adam enjoyed

divine health, a sound mind and every need met before he sinned in the

Garden. All he had to do was obey God's command and stay away from

the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the midst of the Garden.

But when the serpent said, "Go ahead and eat from it," Adam disobeyed

God and chose a new master (Gen. 3:4-6). At that moment, he lost all

the blessings that had been his to enjoy. From that point on, Adam and

all his descendants were plagued with hate, murder, poverty and

sickness.

{13} Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a

curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

(Gal. 3:13 KJV

Does a Christian ever need to pray for deliverance from

generational problems because of freemasonry?ix

Yes, if the door is opened by willful or ignorant sin.

If you live a holy, sanctified life, you are under God’s protection.

{2} “As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse

causeless shall not come,” (Prov. 26:2). KJV

{23} “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any

divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob

and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” (Num. 23:23). KJV

Can Exodus 20:4-5 be used to teach that children in Masonic families

are punished for their parents’ sin?

{19} "Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father?

When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all

my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. {20} The soul that

sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,

neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of

the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall

be upon him,” (Ezek. 18:19-20). KJV

On the surface these Scriptures seem to contradict each other, but since

we know that Scripture is inerrant, we know that the Scripture cannot

contradict itself and the problem really lies in our understanding.x

To help us understand what God is saying we will look at some Hebrew

language helps.

"awon.” Iniquity, guilt, or punishment for guilt.

In other passages the emphasis is on the quality and the inner source of

‘awon….(Job 15:4-5). xi

{4} Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. {5} For

thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the

crafty. Job 15:4-5 KJV

C. as a condition… was I brought forth…[Psa. 51:5].

xii

“{5} Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother

conceive me,” (Ps. 51:5). KJV

While we are not punished for our parent’s sins, we do inherit from them

specific weaknesses and tendencies to sin. When we have identified

these areas in our life, we can make them a matter of prayer because

God has not only promised forgiveness, but also cleansing.

{9} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 Jn. 1:9) KJV

{5} I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I

said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou

forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5). KJV

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but

gives grace to the humble." Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil

and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to

you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you

double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be

turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the

sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. Do not speak evil of one

another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his

brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the

law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver,

who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? (Jam.

4:6-12).

But God didn’t leave man to his curses of sin, suffering, poverty, lack

and death. He prepared a day of atonement. Jesus became the sacrificial

Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. (Jn. 1:29.) He was

the last Adam, who redeemed - or purchased back - for us everything the

first Adam lost. Through Jesus, we can come into the family of God and

have all our original possessions restored! God sent His Word, Jesus, to

heal us (Ps. 107:20). He "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our

sicknesses" (Matt. 8:17). His word tells us says, "By whose stripes ye

were healed" (1 Pet. 2:24). God’s word is unchanging:

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I

have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more

abundantly.” (Jn. 10:10).

There are two main causes for a person’s inner problems.

The first point is what the Word calls “the flesh, or the ‘old man.” The

old man that part of the person which is the carnal nature of the person’s

flesh. It is the rebellious person’s will that is being influenced and

tempted by Satan.

The second cause for inner problems is the working of evil spirits.

Demons will tie themselves to the person’s mind or flesh. They will not

relinquish their evil hold unless compelled to do so by a Christian that is

empowered by Jesus. xiii

Chapter Two

MASONIC DEMONS ARE REAL

The Bible says that my people perish for a lack of knowledge. (Hos.

4:6), “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast

rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to

me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy

children.” KJV

The Lodge... the "god" of the Masons, is not the "God" of the Bible

or the Koran:

Inside a Master Station and a Diagram of a Freemason Lodge Floor

Every lodge has an altar, with the Bible or the Koran or the Vedas,

depending on the people who attend the Lodge... they are all good... but

good for nothing to the real masters of Masonry.

"To believe in God" is one of the greatest deceptions of Masonry...

because for a Mason, the only "acting God" is the "Lodge" and the

"Worshipful Master", like for Communists the real acting "god" is the

State and the Premier...

... The primary allegiance and obedience of the Mason is to the

"Worshipful Master", the only proper form to address him! and through

the Master to any other secret "higher Mason authority"... In the Lodge,

the "Master" is "Worshiped", not God! you cannot even mention your

God!.

... This is why Masonry is incompatible with Christianity, Judaism, and

Islam, because their primary allegiance is to "God"... and even many

local authorities are debating whether membership to the Craft is

compatible with local government.

The "God" of the first 3 Degrees, is "deistic", in the sense that he is a

creator but cannot be known... and this is why Pike can claim that "all

specific conceptions of God are idolatrous, except Masonry's" ("Morals

and Dogma", p.516)... so, the God of the Bible, or Koran, are

"idolatrous".

... This "deistic God" is a boundless, eternal, universal,

undenominational and international Divine Spirit... but

"unapproachable"! the only approachable "acting god" is the Worshipful

Master. So, a Mason may believe in only one God, but Freemasonry

welcomes all Masons Gods in the same Pantheon, as far as the

allegiance in the Lodge is to the Worshipful Master, and any other God

can not even be mentioned.

... In fact, any Lodge is a "federation of Gods and Religions"... and the

greatest deception is that the individual Mason is "trusting in God", but

not in his God, but in the Worshipful Master!... and the secret Mason

authorities behind him!, because it is another deception to make believe

that the local Lodge has the supreme authority, outranked by nobody,

not even by the Grand Lodge.xv

MASONRY DEMONS ARE REAL

Many Christians are totally unaware of the reality of indiscernible world

of demons. They are real!

Multitudes are tormented because ministers choose to ignore the power

to cast out devils. Yet, Jesus had great compassion for the tormented and

the demon possessed. He used His power to free them.

(LK. 4:18-19), “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath

anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the

brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of

sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach

the acceptable year of the Lord,” KJV

The first assignment that He gave His followers was the empowerment

to cast out devils.

(Matt. 10: 1), “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples,

he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal

all manner of sickness and all manner of disease,” KJV.

However, every problem is not the devil. Some problems come from the

person’s willful sin life. The scriptural answer to the sins of the flesh is

complete surrender to Jesus, (Rom. 6: 6-11). If the problem is caused by

the person’s submission to the sins of the flesh, then counsel must direct

that person to commitment to the Lord and His Word. If it is a demon,

then we must cast it out.

Obviously correct diagnosis is of major importance.

We must discern what we are dealing with each case. Is the problem

being caused by oppression of the flesh? If this is the reason, then we

must counsel the person to totally commit his or her life to Jesus Christ.

(Gal. 5:24), “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the

affections and lusts.” If it a question of demon possession, then we must

cast it out according (Mk. 5, 8, 16:17) and (Acts 8:7). Only born again

Christians have this ability.

Remember, you cannot cast out a person’s flesh nor can you crucify an

evil spirit!

HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY

Freemasons claim their ancestry back to Solomon’s temple. Their rites,

rituals and worship as well as the statues and icons of the various lodges

display origins back to ancient Egypt. However its documented history

only begins in 1717 with the London, England lodge.[xi]

Freemasons also claim to be a Christian organization; they even include

the Holy Bible in their ceremonies and rituals. There are even Masonic

Bibles in print. If you look through a Masonic bible you’ll see a classic

example of mixing the Holy with the Profane. What they don’t tell you

is that they will also use the Koran, The Hindu Vedas or the laws of

Confucius if the initiate’s religious beliefs so dictate. That’s a far cry

from being a Christian organization.xvi

To the public the Freemasons appear to be a fraternal organization that

does good deeds, caring for children and orphans, including the Shriners

who sponsor and support Children’s hospitals. I have a copy of a

Masonic Scholarship Award one of our Bible School students received

from the lodge in her hometown. Now that all seems to be very noble

doesn’t it? Sadly, the reason behind their good works is based on one of

the biggest and most deceptive lies of Freemasonry, which is; “Man is

not sinful but merely imperfect, and therefore can redeem himself

through good works.” Therefore negating the redemptive work of Jesus

Christ on the cross of Calvary.

The Shriners, plainly proclaim Allah to be God. Allah is believed by

many to be another name for God, but in all actuality Allah is the name

of the moon god worshipped by the Arabic tribe that Mohammed was

born into.[xii]

Shriners are also known for their little red hats with a tassel. What

people, including most Shriners don’t know, is that hat called a Fez is

named for a town in North Africa. In the 7th century Mohammed ordered

the destruction of all infidels (anyone who would not bow to Allah)

including all Christians. As the Muslim warriors swept across North

Africa they came to Fez a Christian stronghold and they killed everyone

in the town, they then dipped their hats in the blood of the Christians

martyrs. They wore these blood red hats as a celebration of their victory

and a warning to Christians, to convert to Islam or die.[xiii] Have you ever

driven by a Shriners temple? They are nothing more than an Islamic

Masque. Many Masonic temples resemble an Egyptian tomb or temple.

It’s also interesting to note that the symbolism in Masonic ceremonies is

almost identical to Witchcraft ceremonies, including the initiation

ceremony. In which the initiate must be recommended by a current

member, he is stripped and blindfolded with a noose around his neck. In

both ceremonies a knife or sword is put against the breast and a blood

oath is made never to tell the secrets of the lodge or coven. xvii

CURSES COMING DOWN MASONIC FAMILY LINES

Curses based on connections such as Witchcraft, cults, secret societies

and sin which can cause curses to come down families lines. "For

rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and

idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also

rejected thee from being king,” (1Sam. 15:23).

Both sons of King Saul died in battle with him!

"And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the

son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and

used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he

wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger,”

(2Chron. 33:6).

These curses will manifest themselves in forms such as, specific spirits

behind Freemasonry, spirits of antichrist, bondage, witchcraft, error,

infirmity, and perversion, unnatural accidents, sicknesses, "Idolatry,

hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions heresies, family

stress and disputes, financial difficulties, continuing failures.”Thou shalt

not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God

am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children

unto the third and fourth Generation of them that hate me,” (Exodus

20:5).

FREEMASONRY AND WITCHCRAFT

Freemasonry is a false religion steeped in witchcraft, which mixes the

Holy with the profane and invites in spirits of error and perversion

among others. Once the door is opened and the enemy has been given a

legal right, the attack against the children is relentless until the devil gets

his due. I cannot tell you the number of horrible stories of perversion,

rape, molestation, and incest we’ve heard in the deliverance ministry.

The next fruit of Freemasonry we see is infirmities, primarily breathing

or lung disorders, with asthma and allergies leading the list. We also see

a host of other ailments we can directly attribute to the curses of

Freemasonry. Two emotional areas we see heavily affected by

Freemasonry are anger and fear. As we look into the rites and rituals of

freemasonry the reasons for the fruits of freemasonry become quite

evident. Also, the children and grandchildren’s inheritances are stolen by

the Devil.

RITES AND RITUALS OF FREEMASONRY

The deceptive nature of Freemasonry begins with induction and

membership in the lodge. When a member of the lodge wants to get

someone to join the lodge, he is not allowed to ask that person to join.

Instead he has his wife ask that person’s wife to have him to ask the

member about the lodge. This is deliberate in order to give the devil a

legal right to torment that person and his family. He opened the door

himself by asking about membership in the lodge. When they join the

lodge they go through an initiation ceremony. In that ceremony the

initiate is bare-chested and blindfolded with a noose around his neck. He

is then taken outside the lodge, they knock on the door and a person

inside asks the initiate what he wants? He then answers by saying, “I

want to come out of the darkness and enter into the light of

freemasonry.” The initiate is then brought into the lodge still blindfolded

and a dagger or sword or other sharp object is placed against his bare

chest. He then swears the first of many blood oaths and curses over

himself and his family. He agrees to be murdered or mutilated if the oath

of the degree is violated. xviii

The spirit of infirmity comes in from the noose around the neck, which

is evidenced by the fruit of asthma, allergies and other breathing

disorders in the descendants of Freemasons.

“Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles

away." 14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, [Nineveh]:

"You will have no descendants to bear your name,” (Nah 1:13-14). NIV

It is the belief of Freemasons that each degree obtained, brings them

closer to the light, and to enlightenment. However deception is a key

ingredient in Freemasonry, the initiate never really knows the truth.

Albert Pike, considered to be the father of modern freemasonry; in his

book Morals and Dogma of Freemasonry Wrote this:

“Masonry like all religions, all the mysteries conceals its secrets from all

except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect and use false explanations and

misrepresentations of its symbols to mislead those who only deserve to

be misled…xix

Signs, grips and words

Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes) and words

to gain admission to meetings and identify legitimate visitors.

From the early 18th century onwards, many exposés have been written

claiming to reveal these signs, grips and passwords to the uninitiated. A

classic response was deliberately to transpose certain words in the ritual,

so as to catch out anyone relying on the exposé. However, since each

Grand Lodge is free to create its own rituals, the signs, grips and

passwords can and do differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.[26]

Furthermore, Grand Lodges can and do change their rituals periodically,

updating the language used, adding or omitting sections.[38] Therefore,

any exposé can only be valid for a particular jurisdiction at a particular

time, and is always difficult for an outsider to verify. Today, an

unknown visitor may be required to produce a certificate, dues card or

other documentation of membership in addition to demonstrating

knowledge of the signs, grips and passwords.

Obligations

Obligations are those elements of ritual in which a candidate swears to

abide by the rules of the fraternity and to keep the secrets of

Freemasonry, which are the various signs, tokens and words associated

with recognition in each degree,[25] as well as to perform certain duties

and to avoid doing those things which are prohibited by his Obligation.

In regular jurisdictions these obligations are sworn on the

aforementioned Volume of the Sacred Law and in the witness of the

Supreme Being and often with assurance that it is of the candidate's own

free will.

Details of the obligations vary; some versions are published[25] while

others are privately printed in books of coded text. Still other

jurisdictions rely on oral transmission of ritual, and thus have no ritual

books at all.[39] Moreover, not all printed rituals are authentic – Leo

Taxil's exposure, for example, is a proven hoax, while Duncan's

Masonic Monitor (created, in part, by merging elements of several

rituals then in use) was never adopted by any regular jurisdiction.

The obligations are historically known amongst various sources critical

of Freemasonry for their so-called "bloody penalties",[40] an allusion to

the apparent physical penalties associated with each degree. This leads

to some descriptions of the Obligations as "Oaths". The corresponding

text, with regard to the penalties, does not appear in authoritative,

endorsed sources,[25] following a decision "that all references to physical

penalties be omitted from the obligations taken by Candidates in the

three Degrees and by a Master Elect at his Installation but retained

elsewhere in the respective ceremonies".[41] The penalties are interpreted

symbolically, and are not applied in actuality by a Lodge or by any other

body of Masonry. The descriptive nature of the penalties alludes to how

the candidate should feel about himself should he knowingly violate his

obligation.[42] Modern actual penalties may include suspension,

expulsion or reprimand.

Whilst no single obligation is representative of Freemasonry as a whole,

a number of common themes appear when considering a range of

potential texts. Content which may appear in at least one of the three

obligations includes: the candidate promises to act in a manner befitting

a member of civilised society, promises to obey the law of his Supreme

Being, promises to obey the law of his sovereign state, promises to

attend his lodge if he is able, promises not to wrong, cheat nor defraud

the Lodge or the brethren, and promises aid or charity to a member of

the human family, brethren and their families in times of need if it can

be done without causing financial harm to himself or his

dependents.[25][43][44]

Landmarks

Main article: Masonic Landmarks

The Landmarks of Masonry are defined as ancient and unchangeable

precepts; standards by which the regularity of Lodges and Grand Lodges

are judged. Each Grand Lodge is self-governing and no single authority

exists over the whole of Freemasonry. The interpretation of these

principles therefore can and does vary, leading to controversies of

recognition.

The concept of Masonic Landmarks appears in Masonic regulations as

early as 1723, and seem to be adopted from the regulations of operative

masonic guilds. In 1858, Albert G. Mackey attempted to set down 25

Landmarks.[45] In 1863, George Oliver published a Freemason's

Treasury in which he listed 40 Landmarks. A number of American

Grand Lodges have attempted the task of enumerating the Landmarks;

numbers differing from West Virginia (7) and New Jersey (10) to

Nevada (39) and Kentucky (54).[46] xx

GODDESS SYMBOLISM WITHIN

FREEMASONRY

The drawing is called Faith, Hope and Charity.

As in other Mason drawings Faith, Hope and

Charity are represented by angels or

Goddesses. In this drawing we only see two

Goddesses or angels so where is the third? The

secret meaning within this drawing is that the

third Goddess is Compass and Square imagine

in the middle of the drawing. So why is does this

image represent a Goddess?

A few years ago I came across a

illustrated Freemasonry book in my local library and glanced

through it, out of idle curiosity, I was surprised to find I was

able to pick out Goddess symbolism within Mason images.

Which was a surprise, because Freemasonry is suppose to be a

male dominated secret society. So why would a organization

that has steadfastly refused to allow female members within its

ranks for hundreds of years, use Goddess symbolism? It didn't

make sense. I began to read more about Freemasonry and found

enough information about the connection between Freemasonry

and Goddess worship to fill a book. This article is a taste of what

I have discovered so far.xxi

They even had the audacity to erect a giant statue of a Sun

Goddess in New York harbour. Which they called the Statue of

Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty was conceived, financed and built by

Freemasons. They even had a Freemasonry ceremony when the

statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886, by the then President

of USA, Grover Cleveland. This colossus was initiated by

French Freemason Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi. Whom he claim,

"he caught a vision of a magnificent goddess holding aloft a

torch in one hand and welcoming all visitors to the land of

freedom and opportunity". So clearly in his mind the statue was

a Goddess. He also wanted to build a giant statue of the Goddess

Isis in Egypt, but as Egypt was then, and now, a Moslem

country, this wasn't a good idea, and it fell through. The cost of

making and installing this Statue Of Liberty was enormous. The

French Freemasons had to raise 3,500,000 French francs, while

New York newspaper owner Joseph Pulitzer donated $100,000

which in the1870's was a lot of money.xxii

The symbolism of the Statue shows she is a Sun Goddess. We

can see this by the ray of the sun coming out of her head dress

and the flaming torch she is holding. The significance of this is

in pagan times there used to be sun-gods and moon-goddesses.

With the sun-god being the dominant deity because the sun has

the greater light. But in more ancient times there used to be sungoddesses

and moon-gods. So she would be a dominant Goddess

taking us back to the Creatrix Great Mother. xxiii

DELIVERANCE BLINDFOLD ~ HOODWINK

“Jesus said that the works that I do, you will do also and greater,”(Jn.

14:12).

Deception on the "Initiation": (See picture just before this)

A "blindfold", called "hoodwink" is always placed on the candidate, to

mean "he is living in spiritual darkness", be it a Christian, or a Jew, heis

living "in darkness, helplessness and ignorance. Having been wandering

amid the errors and covered over with the pollutions of the outer and

profane world"... so, a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim candidate for

Mason "is living in spiritual darkness"!... and Christianity or Judaism or

Islam are full of errors!... and a "profane world"! xxiv

...

And the candidate has to wear the "cable row" around his neck as a

sign of slavery, of submission, not Christ nor to the Church, but to the

Master Mason and the Lodge... and he will be told and swear that "only

the Lodge leads men into spiritual light"... because "he is iniquity

coming to our door, seeking the new birth".

- And most initiates to Masonry do all of this without really knowing

what they are doing or saying... but it is the first big step to strip a

Christian from the "iniquity of Christianity"!

The FULL GOSPEL is a balanced Gospel which includes the ministry of

Jesus. “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me

to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the

brokenhearted, to preach DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, and

recovering of sigh to the blind, to SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT

ARE BRUISED,” (Lk. 4:18).

[The Spirit of the Lord is upon me] Or, I speak by divine appointment.

I am divinely inspired to speak. There can be no doubt that the passage

in Isaiah had a principal reference to the Messiah. Our Savior directly

applies it to himself, and it is not easily applicable to any other prophet.

Its first application might have been to the restoration of the Jews from

Babylon; but the language of prophecy is often applicable to two similar

events, and the secondary event is often the most important. In this case

the prophet uses most striking poetic images to depict the return from

Babylon, but the same images also describe the appropriate work of the

Son of God.

[Hath anointed me] Anciently kings and prophets and the high priest

were set apart to their work by anointing with oil, 1 Kings 19:15-16; Ex

29:7; 1 Sam 9:16, etc. This oil or ointment was made of various

substances, and it was forbidden to imitate it, Ex 30:34-38. Hence, those

who were set apart to the work of God as king, prophet, or priest, were

called the Lord's anointed, 1 Sam 16:6; Ps 84:9; Isa 45:1. Hence, the Son

of God is called the "Messiah," a Hebrew word signifying the

"Anointed," or the "Christ," a Greek word signifying the same thing.

And by his being "anointed" is not meant that he was literally anointed,

for he was never set apart in that manner, but that "God had set him

apart" for this work; that "he" had constituted or appointed him to be the

prophet, priest, and king of his people. See the notes at Matt 1:1.

[To preach the gospel to the poor] The English word "gospel" is

derived from two words - "God" or "good," and "spell," an Old Saxon

word meaning "history, relation, narration, word, or speech," and the

word therefore means "a good communication" or "message." This

corresponds exactly with the meaning of the Greek word - "good or

joyful message-glad tidings." By the "poor" are meant all those who are

destitute of the comforts of this life, and who therefore may be more

readily disposed to seek treasures in heaven; all those who are sensible

of their sins, or are poor in spirit (Matt 5:3); and all the "miserable" and

the afflicted, Isa 58:7. Our Savior gave it as one proof that he was the

Messiah, or was from God, that he preached to "the poor," Matt 11:5.

The Pharisees and Sadducees despised the poor; ancient philosophers

neglected them; but the gospel seeks to bless them-to give comfort

where it is felt to be needed, and where it will be received with gratitude.

Riches fill the mind with pride, with self-complacency, and with a

feeling that the gospel is not needed. The poor "feel" their need of some

sources of comfort that the world cannot give, and accordingly our

Savior met with his greatest success the gospel among the poor; and

there also, "since," the gospel has shed its richest blessings and its purest

joys. It is also one proof that the gospel is true. If it had been of "men," it

would have sought the rich and mighty; but it pours contempt on all

human greatness, and seeks, like God, to do good to those whom the

world overlooks or despises. See the notes at 1 Cor. 1:26.

[To heal the brokenhearted] To console those who are deeply afflicted,

or whose hearts are "broken" by external calamities or by a sense of their

sinfulness.

[Deliverance to the captives] This is a figure originally applicable to

those who were in captivity in Babylon. They were miserable. To grant

deliverance to "them" and restore them to their country-to grant

deliverance to those who are in prison and restore them to their familiesto

give liberty to the slave and restore him to freedom, was to confer the

highest benefit and impart the richest favor. In this manner the gospel

imparts favor. It does not, indeed, "literally" open the doors of prisons,

but it releases the mind captive under sin; it gives comfort to the

prisoner, and it will finally open all prison doors and break off all the

chains of slavery, and, by preventing "crime," prevent also the sufferings

that are the consequence of crime.

[Sight to the blind] This was often literally fulfilled, Matt 11:5; John

9:11; Matt 9:30, etc.

[To set at liberty them that are bruised] The word "bruised," here,

evidently has the same "general" signification as "brokenhearted" or the

contrite. It means those who are "pressed down" by great calamity, or

whose hearts are "pressed" or "bruised" by the consciousness of sin. To

set them "at liberty" is the same as to free them from this pressure, or to

give them consolation. xxvi

A great percentage of Jesus’ ministry was deliverance

“He went throughout all Galilee preaching in their synagogues and

casting out demons,” (Mk. 1:39).

Jesus cast devils out.

Jesus is our example!

Mark, Matthew, and Luke- narratives and controversies center in on

Jesus ability to cure those who were demon possessed.

Only the gospel of John lacks this material. Controversies are charged

that Jesus --- Himself is demon possessed.

“And many of them said, “he hath a devil. Why hear ye him?” (Jn.

10:20).

“Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, say we not well that thou

art a Samarian, and hast a devil?” (Jn. 8:48).

“The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil; who goeth about to

kill thee.” (Jn. 7:20).

Mark has four incidents, (Mk.1:23-28; 5: 1-20; 7: 24-30; 9:14-29).

Jesus entered the synagogue at Capernaum and began to teach (Lk. 4:33-

37).

When the Word of God is taught coupled with the power of the Holy

Spirit, evil spirits must surface.

A man in the synagogue at Capernaum and had an unclean spirit.

He cried out, saying, ‘What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth?

Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, The Holy One of

God.”

Notice: the demon spoke to Jesus first

It knew who He was.

It knew He had authority over them.

It stated what it knew.

Word of God taught coupled with power of Holy Spirit.

Evil spirits must surface.

THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM

We can pray and believe God to move and supply our special needs as

only He can include providing deliverance and healing which is the

children’s bread. Our God is able! He is big enough! He is the true and

living God who is able to perform the miraculous. Faith in God brings

victories for those who trust and obey.

He Will Deliver "And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you

will destroy their name from under heaven; no one shall be able to stand

against you until you have destroyed them,” (Deut. 7:24).

Jesus Christ is our God and he came to set the captives free.

The blessings of God travel down family lines the same way.

"As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit

that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not

depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the

mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and

forever,” (Isa. 59:21).

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse

for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus

Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith,”

(Gal 3:13-14).

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus

Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

[That the blessing of Abraham] That is, justification or the pardon of

sin, with all other blessings consequent on it, such as peace with God,

spiritual life, and eternal glory.

[Might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ] So we find that he

was made a curse for us, that the blessings promised to Abraham might

be given to them who believe on him, as having been made a curse; i.e.

an expiatory victim for them.

[The promise of the Spirit] The spirit of adoption, sonship with God;

and the Spirit of God to attest that sonship. And all this was through

faith. Hence, from the beginning God had purposed that salvation should

be through faith, and never expected that any soul of man should be

justified by the works of the law; and only gave that law that the

exceeding sinfulness of sin might appear, and that man might be

prepared to welcome the Gospel, which proclaimed salvation to a lost

world through the atoning passion and death of Christ. xxvii

Throughout the Word of God we see God's care for man on display over

and over again. He saved Noah and his house from the flood. He

delivered the three Hebrew boys out of the fiery furnace. He led Moses

and the Israelites across the Red Sea on dry ground. If God could do

these mighty miracles for people back then, we know that He can do

them today. He is God, and He changes not. "For with God all things

are possible," (Mk. 10:27b). That wonderful faith in God comes from

reading His Word. When we know God and His love, it is easy to place

faith in Him. His word is unchanging:

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always

having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good

work.” (2 Cor. 9:8).

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just

as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and

testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth,” (3 John

1:2-3).

JESUS WAS NOT A DEMON HUNTER.

Demons simply could not remain hidden in His presence. When they

manifested, the demon would speak. The demons try to engage Jesus in

a conversation. The demon would many times use flatter trying to divert

the Lord’s attention from his deliverance. (Mk. 1:24), “I know thee who

thou art, the Holy One of God.”

The Lord looked beyond the words and rebuked him saying, “Hold thy

peace and come out of him,” (Mk.1:25).

“...and when the unclean spirit had to obey him, and cried with a loud

voice, he came out of him,” (Mk.1:26).

His teaching caused wonder among the people, “for he was teaching

them as one have authority . . . even the unclean spirits obey him,”

(Mk.1:27).

• The function of deliverance for Mark therefore is to drive home the

point about the authority of Jesus teaching. The story itself is told

with classic simplicity.

• (Mk.1: 23), the demons challenge to Jesus.

• Rebuke and exorcism. (Mk. 1:24)

• Departure of the unclean spirit, (Mk.1:25).

• Response of the onlookers, (Mk.1:26).

• Unclean spirit is inspired, he “knows something about Jesus and

speaks what he knows in the spirit,” (Mk. 1:23).

• The inspiration is by an “unclean spirit”.

There are two supernatural sources. Supernatural things must be

discerned.

• It is the unclean spirit, not Jesus that initiates the confrontation.

• It is the afflicted man who utters the words but in reality they are

not words of a man but of a man possessed by an unclean spirit.

Twice in (Mk. 1:24), the use of the plural “Us” makes it clear that

the real speaker is indeed the demon.

• Plural indicate that the man is possessed by more than one demon.

• Only that the demon speaks as one of a class of beings sharing

common fears of destruction at His hands.

The demon addresses Jesus with a singular verb.

• (“I know who you are . . .”) and in turn is addressed with singular

pronoun and imperative.

• The reader learns nothing of the fate of the demon or the fate of the

man, (Mk.1:25).

MASONIC ORDERS AND DEGREES

The structure of Freemasonry appears confusing to the non-mason for

many reasons because Freemasonry has evolved from a two-degree

system to a three-degree system.

As Masonry spread from England into Europe and North America, it is

either evolved into various multi-grade systems or else recognized other

organizations conferring degrees and imparting lessons which were

believed to compliment or supplement the first three.

At the same time, members of the philanthropic club, the Shrine, may

style themselves "Shrine Masons", and members of the Scottish Rite will

call themselves "Scottish Rite Masons". It is only the fact that they have

received the first three degrees, and continue to be members of a Craft

lodge, that permits them to call themselves freemasons.

Adding to the confusion, in North America there are three Scottish Rite

bodies, the Canadian Jurisdiction, Southern Jurisdiction and the

Northern Jurisdiction, which have slightly different titles for their

degrees. In South America and Mexico the Grand Lodges will have

absorbed variations of either the York or Scottish Rite degrees into their

systems and often there will be two or more Grand Lodges in one

geographical jurisdiction—generally one styled a Grand Lodge and the

other a Grand Orient—each conferring a different set of degrees.

In Europe, the term the Scottish Rite more closely resembles various

eighteenth century European rites than it does the North American

model.

To complete the confusion, historically in the United Kingdom there

were some lodges working what was once termed the York Rite which

included the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch. The numerous

degrees and orders of the York or American Rite, that is those of the

Chapter, Council and the Temple, exist in the United Kingdom, but are

organized quite differently than in Canada and the United States.

For example, the Mark Master degree is conferred by either lodges or

Royal Arch Chapters in Scotland and in lodges of Mark Master Masons

in England.

The structure of Freemasonry can often appear confusing to the nonmason

for many reasons, which Freemasonry has evolved from a twodegree
