The Freemason-Dispensationalist Deception

Continued from Part I: Christian Zionism and the Freemason Deception

Part II: The Freemason-Dispensationalist Deception

I was tempted to end the letter here, given that the information presented in Part One is truly welcome news for dispensationalists, or anyone, for that matter. But, there is more to the story concerning dispensationalism’s origins, and I must admit, it doesn’t get any more diabolical than this. Such a ruse will prove that dispensationalism wasn’t simply a careless interpretive mistake made by John Nelson Darby, but a carefully planned deception that only the Evil One could orchestrate. Since I’ll be adding additional sections or parts, it’s safe to say that this letter has expanded to that of a book. Each part may be considered a short book and can be read on its own, but it is best consumed as a whole, as each complements the others. Like the distortion one gets when trying to portray the reality of a three-dimensional globe on a two-dimensional map, it takes several maps, or in this case, several parts (or angles), to accurately portray the dispensational deception since it is such a complex issue.

Part One demonstrated how dispensationalism originated and how Christians were deceived; however, in Part Two, this author aims to reveal why. Simply put, Darby, Scofield, and other architects of dispensationalism planned to use Christians’ strengths—their desire to help others—against them. By now, one must be thinking, “sure, dispensationalists were tricked into reestablishing the nation-state of Israel to build a 3rd Temple. I won’t fall for that trick anymore.” As incredible as it sounds, that still only explains how the architects tricked dispensationalists, but not where this is headed. The architects had geopolitical objectives to carry out dark spiritual ends that have consequences for humanity’s future. Such goals could only have been achieved with the support of the Christian West and its military might. To understand their true motivations, one must look not only at the spiritual architects, as observed in Part One, but also at the political architects and the organizations to which they belong, to comprehend their ultimate objectives.

In Part One, we also learned that Darby and Scofield deceived the majority of American Christians into serving two masters, both Jesus and Zionism (a secular and political Israeli state). But why did Darby and his fellow Freemasons twist the truth when deceiving American Christians into supporting Zionism? On the surface, it would seem that if the purpose was just to reestablish a Jewish homeland, then no harm, no foul. After all, once the smoke had cleared from WWII and the horrors of the Holocaust were fully comprehended, who, other than Christians, would relieve the surviving Jews’ suffering? If dispensationalists lead the charge, so be it. After all, Jesus was a Jew, and His parable of the Good Samaritan compelled us to serve our Jewish brethren. Who knows, perhaps some good would come from the reestablishment of Israel since the Jews have faced relentless persecution throughout history. A homeland may be just what the Good Doctor (Christ) ordered, as they would finally be afforded the haven they desperately needed. At the same time, reestablishing the state of Israel would enable Christians to fulfill End-Times prophecy. What, if anything, could be wrong with that?

Palestine used to be a relatively peaceful community that was home to Muslims, Christians, and Jews, but ever since the political state of Israel was established in 1948, there has been one war after another in the Middle East. Is the world so anti-Semitic and awful that seven million Jews can’t share a small slice of the Middle East? What is going on? To answer those questions, one must be acquainted with the Freemason founders of Zionism, who have been alluded to throughout Part One. Although several informative books evaluate Freemasonry through a Christian lens, this may be the first to link Freemasonry to the origins of dispensationalism and explain how that relationship has become the chief cause of the violent conflicts in the Middle East today. Part Two, then, will first define what Freemasonry is and why the brotherhood has worked diligently to shape modern Christianity’s views concerning End Times prophecy. Such a phenomenon has undoubtedly influenced the majority of American Christians’ worldview, which has shaped our Middle Eastern foreign policy that will ultimately dictate whether or not we have a future. I realize that such an assertion sounds hyperbolic, but read to the end of Part Two and then decide for yourself whether it is irrational.

The Freemason Israel Connection

I had been aware of dispensationalism’s role in the creation of the modern state of Israel for some time, but it wasn’t until the pandemic, and all the free time it afforded, that I came to learn of the dispensationalists’ connection to Freemasonry. Before the pandemic, if someone had told me that I’d be writing a book about the Freemasons’ connection to dispensationalism, I’d have rolled my eyes and advised that person that such an endeavor was a waste of time. After all, everyone knows that Freemasonry, and secret societies in general, are the stuff of conspiracy theories. However, if someone had told me that America was going to mandate pandemic lockdowns for nearly two years while violating the majority of the Bill of Rights, I would’ve thought they’d gone crazy as well. If we’ve learned one thing from the pandemic, it is that the truth is indeed stranger than fiction. You simply can’t make this up because nobody would believe you. Having said that, Freemasonry isn’t a myth, as even those who live in small towns have likely driven past their local Masonic temple, lodge, or some other affiliate, such as the Order of the Eastern Star. In the following pages, I’ll do my best to report, and I’ll let you decide whether or not Freemasonry is a conspiracy theory. If something doesn’t smell right, I encourage you to check the footnotes below or look it up for yourself, much like any good pastoral shepherd would admonish his flock to evaluate his sermon in light of scripture. The good news is, thanks to the internet, you won’t even have to leave your couch.

I came across this promotional article on Freemasonry while researching for this book, and it illustrates the unbreakable bond between the Freemasons and the creation of the modern state of Israel. In “A Remarkable Connection of Freemasonry and Israel”, Freemason brother, Dr. Howard Bliman, boasts:

On November 2, 1917, Balfour wrote a momentous letter to the most influential Jewish leader in Britain, Lord Walter Rothschild. This letter which began, “His Majesty’s Government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the partition of Palestine and establishment of a Jewish state.”

On November 19, 1947, right before an important vote in the United Nations on the partition of Palestine, Weizmann flew to Washington, D.C. to lobby American President Harry Truman. After a brief meeting, Weizmann persuaded a conflicted Truman to support the establishment of a Jewish state, and Truman proceeded to pull out all the stops, and heavily lobbied numerous delegates to ensure that the resolution favoring partition received enough votes to pass.

On November 29, 1947, with a vote of 33 in favor, 10 against, and 13 abstentions, UN Resolution 181 became the international basis for the establishment of the modern state of Israel.

On May 14, 1948, the Jewish Agency for Palestine led by David Ben Gurion declared the establishment of the state of Israel, and Truman recognized the new country within minutes of the announcement. The next day, the British Mandate expired and modern Israel was born. Against all odds and despite more threats on its life than any country in modern history, Israel survives and thrives into its seventh decade.

David Ben Gurion became its first prime minister and Chaim Weizmann its first president. The men pictured on this slide played a pivotal role in the history of modern Israel; all save one were Freemasons! ¹

It was indeed nearly unanimous that those responsible for the creation of Israel were all Freemasons, but was this merely a coincidence, or did they have an agenda? The following paragraphs will prove that the Freemasons had a hidden agenda when reestablishing the state of Israel and how they deceived Christians into helping them accomplish that task.

After reading the article above, dispensationalists who still believe that Israel holds the keys to their prophetic destiny may be tempted to run out to their local Masonic temple and sign up for the brotherhood. After all, there were some rather impressive individuals named above, and they single-handedly created Israel, to boot. Many assume that those who had a hand in Israel’s creation did so out of sympathy due to the Holocaust. But, as will be demonstrated, they had been working on establishing the state of Israel for decades before the Holocaust, and in some cases, dating back to before the American Civil War. So, before running to the Masonic recruiter’s office, bear with me for a bit longer, as it is imperative to understand a brief history of how Freemasonry evolved, which in turn will help to define what exactly Freemasonry is. The internet will give you a nebulous answer, and let me assure you, such obfuscation is done deliberately. Furthermore, providing a historical sketch of Freemasonry will provide clues as to why they’ve had a monomaniacal obsession with Israel and how that affects our Middle Eastern foreign policy today. Undoubtedly, this phenomenon has significant implications for humanity’s future. Said simply, it is impossible to know where Freemasons are going without first looking at where they’ve been.

Freemasonry: A Mosaic History

Freemasonry has many origin stories depending on which Freemason you ask. Some claim that Freemasonry began with the Knights Templar, who protected the Holy Land for Christendom during the Medieval Era. Another may argue that the Freemasons’ origins stem from the Rosicrucian Order during the Early Modern Era that followed the Renaissance. Still, others may say that the Freemasons were founded, at the latest, in London in 1717, when they emerged from the Medieval stonemason guilds that were formerly responsible for building Europe’s Gothic cathedrals. However, others may argue that many of their rituals were derived from the polytheistic religions of ancient Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome; therefore, Freemasonry could be considered the world’s oldest religion. All of the above can be said to be true, as Freemasonry encompasses all of these things. Let’s pick up where we left off in Part One to connect the historical dots.

History of the Early Church

After the Great Tribulation ended the Jewish Age in 70 A.D., Christians continued to suffer sporadic persecution for their faith. Still, such a fire couldn’t be extinguished, as this phenomenon only served to fan the flames throughout the Roman Empire. In fact, by 313 A.D., Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, thereby legalizing that religion throughout the empire. In a strange twist of fate, the very empire that had once declared religious genocide upon Christians was now officially endorsing it, as by 380 A.D., Emperor Thessalonica declared Christianity the official religion of Rome. The Edict of Thessalonica banned all of Rome’s pagan religions that had dominated the empire since its inception. ²

But, as anyone who has read the Old Testament knows, prohibitions against worshiping pagan gods were easier said than done. One may recall when God appointed Moses to rescue the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. As soon as they fled Egypt, Moses soon found himself clashing with those who chose to continue worshiping their Egyptian gods while offering sacrifices to the golden calf. Even Solomon, who was charged with building God’s first Temple, was led astray and began worshiping pagan gods. Both biblical and world history testify to the fact that no matter how much a government attempts to suppress unorthodox religious practices, said beliefs have an uncanny knack for survival.

Despite Rome’s newfound prohibitions against pagan worship, such practices didn’t change overnight. Instead, many of these pagan cults were driven underground where they became secret societies that continued to worship the Satanic Egyptian Cult of Isis, Sirius, Baal, Moloch, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman gods. ³ Many Jews practiced Kabbalism, which “is a complex, symbolic occult art that began among the Jewish people in the first century A.D. and flowered in the Middle Ages.” ⁴ Many Jews also incorporated the Talmud as their sacred text, which bears no resemblance to the Torah (Old Testament) practicing Jews. Although it may seem confusing when attempting to keep track of the various pagan gods of antiquity, many of them represented the same god but with different names. For example, the Babylonian “lord of heaven” was Belus, who was the same god as Ra in Egypt, Zeus in Greece, Jupiter in Rome, Vishnu in India, Odin in Scandinavia, and Baal, the god worshiped by pagan Israelites. This circumstance was the result of the Tower of Babel when God confused the language of the Babylonians, which caused them to scatter throughout the world. ⁵

Continuing to worship pagan gods in the Holy Roman Empire by the end of the 4th century, however, proved to be dangerous, as the Catholic Inquisitions would execute people for their pagan beliefs, especially those accused of witchcraft. By the 1500s, the Roman Catholic Church had lost its way, and reformers like Martin Luther could no longer hold their nose concerning the pervading corruption that had infiltrated Christ’s Church. Luther suggested a series of reforms, which did cause the Roman Catholic Church to correct some of its abuses during the Counter-Reformation, but not all of them. As a result, the Protestant reformers would eventually blaze a new path around the papal system itself. Consequently, the Church in Europe split into two distinct branches. The fortunes of Christianity had gone full circle, and back again, to be sure. ⁶

By the time Columbus discovered the New World, God’s earthly Kingdom had matured, allowing Christians to emerge from the shadows and dominate the West. In contrast, the pagan religions were now driven underground. Regrettably, the dark flame of Lucifer’s pagan religions could not be extinguished, and as we shall see, hid within secret societies such as the Freemasons. I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised since scripture tells us that Satan is the god of this world, and he coveted dominion over the earth once more.

Freemason Roots: The Knights Templar

By the time of the Medieval Era (1000-1500 A.D.), the Christian Church had grown increasingly distant from its Apostolic roots, which had their genesis in Israel; however, this would soon change during the Crusades. The first in a series of Holy Land Crusades began in 1099, when the Roman Catholic Church wrested control of Jerusalem from Muslim rule. For nearly a century, the Knights Templar served as the Roman Catholic Church’s military arm, tasked with managing the Holy Land and protecting Christian pilgrims. The Templars swore an oath of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but left to their own devices, began to stray from their original charter. For example, it’s widely believed that the Templars began to worship the Baphomet, a goat-headed figure that featured dualistic characteristics, including both male and female genitalia. Eventually, the Baphomet became the main symbol of the occult. 7

Eventually, the Templars’ control of the Holy Land proved lucrative, as they amassed fortunes that rivaled the financial clout of European monarchs, enabling them to run banking syndicates throughout the Christian world. It was also during this time that the Templars had unfettered access to the Holy Land’s secret tunnels that were honeycombed throughout Jerusalem. Those catacombs ran under the Temple Mount, which stood at the foot of Solomon’s and later, Herod’s Temples. As such, some claim that the Templars learned the secrets of Solomon’s Temple, which would not only be incorporated into the Freemason temples that we see today but would also help modern Freemason archaeologists find those same secret passages (which will be explained in detail below). By all accounts, the Templars had a good thing going in the Holy Land, but their rule there came to an end when the Muslims recovered Jerusalem by the end of the thirteenth century. ⁸

Many of the Templars resettled in Spain and France as a result of the Muslim reconquest of the Holy Land. Not only did the Templars bring back immense fortunes and military know-how, but they also brought back the secrets of Solomon’s Temple. After all, they didn’t get their namesake for nothing. Indeed, the Templars soon began conducting business and building magnificent churches in Europe, modeled after the relics of the Holy Land. The French King, Philip IV the “Beautiful,” however, must have felt threatened by the Templars, so he decided to crush them on Friday, the 13th, 1307, which is better known today as Black Friday. Philip had the Templars rounded up and employed torture tactics such as slowly burning them at the stake to extract confessions as to the whereabouts of their hidden treasures. To convince his French subjects, Phillip accused the Templars of Satanic initiation ceremonies such as spitting on a cross, homosexuality, and other violations against Christian principles. It’s uncertain whether or not these charges were true, but whatever the case, Philip’s plan failed since the Templars took their secrets to their graves. Some of the Templars managed to survive; whereupon they fled from France with their treasure in tow. The historical record recounts this purge of the Templars, as well as their flight from France. Their distinctive calling card, the skull and crossbones and double-headed eagle, can still be found on Medieval gravestones throughout Europe to this day. Both of these symbols have become standard calling cards in the world of Freemasonry. ⁹

It was the cross-pollination of the Knights Templars and their devotion to Solomon’s Temple, coupled with the underground world of Europe’s pagan religious practices, that Freemasonry would find its headwaters. But, there was one more set of ingredients that were lacking to perfect the Freemason witches’ brew, and that involved a mixture of science, alchemy, black magic, and the occult.

Freemason Roots: The Rosicrucian Order

As most are well aware, the scientific understanding of medieval Europe was made up of superstitions and quackery that we find somewhat laughable today. Medical practitioners employed bloodletting, boil lancing, and other so-called medical practices that often ended up causing more harm than good. However, as the Medieval era gave way to the Renaissance during the Early Modern Era, science began to undergo significant evolution. All things considered, Science is putting it rather generously. Perhaps it’s best that we think of it as “Franken-science.” In fact, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was modeled after Theophrastus von Hohenheim, also known as Paracelsus (1493-1541). Paracelsus is considered the father of toxicology, which is the foundation of our modern pharmacological medical system, utilizing medicine to treat illnesses. Paracelsus invented Laudanum, a medicinal treatment derived from opium. Laudanum may have legitimately worked to reduce one’s pain like Oxycontin, heroin, or fentanyl does today, but it also served to entrap countless millions of people in addiction for centuries until it became illegal during the early 20th century. ¹⁰

⁹ Nicolai and Siering, “The Heirs of the Knights Templar.”
¹⁰ H. E. Sigerist, “Laudanum in the Works of Paracelsus, Bull: History of Medicine, 9: 530-544, 1941, accessed Nov. 16, 2023, http://www.samorini.it/doc1/alt_aut/sz/sigerist-laudanum-in-the-work-ofparacelsus.pdf.

Paracelsus was a Swiss-born, German-speaking scientific experimentalist who wasn’t satisfied with the academic answers of his day since they were still dominated by an antiquated Aristotelian philosophy. As such, Paracelsus was shunned by the prevailing medical establishment of his day since his approach to science was considered radical. As a result, he traveled Europe as an itinerant scientist. Paracelsus wasn’t afraid to experiment to get the results he sought, and if that involved Satanic divination, astrology, witchcraft, spells, magic, voodoo dolls, and the mixing of salt, sulfur, and mercury to concoct elixirs, panaceas, and poisons, then so be it. ¹¹ Undoubtedly, in The Devil’s Doctor (2006), Philip Ball, Paracelsus’s biographer, states that his work “begins and ends with magic” and that Paracelsus thought “it was a matter of Christian duty: he felt ‘human beings needed to know what the devil knew . . . [including] the kind of knowledge that the devil misapplied.’ First on this list was magic, originated by God but misused by demons and necromancers (people who conversed with the spirits of the dead).” ¹²

Paracelsus certainly had his work cut out for him, and if that were not enough, he sought to use alchemy to transform everyday objects, such as lead, iron, and copper, into precious metals like gold and silver. It was this strange witch’s brew of Satanic medicine, consorting with demons from the ancient pagan mystery religions to access esoteric knowledge, and alchemy that became known as the Paracelsus Model. The Paracelsus Model soon spread far and wide and began to define some of the leading scientists of the day. Many of these scientists belonged to a secret society called the Rosicrucian Order. ¹³ Paracelsus was a founding member of the Rosicrucians, and they got their name from a combination of “Rose + Cross.” In Latin, members had to swear a secret oath under the rose cross or “sub-rosa” when joining the Rosicrucians. Rosicrucianism, then, combined the esoteric knowledge of the pagan mystery religions with that of Christianity. ¹⁴

Paracelsus was a contemporary of Martin Luther and, interesting enough, countries that were more heavily influenced by Luther’s Protestant Revolution found more freedom in which to engage the burgeoning Scientific Revolution of which the Paracelsus Model was part. ¹⁵ This was the period when the superstitions of the Medieval era would eventually give way to the modern world, built upon scientific knowledge. The study of science was initially discouraged by countries dominated by the Roman Catholic Church, which allowed Britain to advance beyond that of Catholic Italy, from which the Renaissance originated. Copernicus and Galileo were but two famous historical examples of astronomers who were persecuted during the Inquisition for their heterodox conception of the cosmos, including their heliocentric (sun-centered solar system) assertions. ¹⁶ Galileo found favorable treatment when he was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life, as he and Pope Urban VIII were on friendly terms. Other cosmological theorists like Giordano Bruno, however, weren’t so fortunate. Bruno found more scientific freedom in the Protestant countries of Northwest Europe, but when he returned to Italy in 1591, he was arrested and imprisoned for eight years. Bruno would never repent during the Inquisitor’s interrogation of his heterodox, yet accurate, conception of the cosmos, so he was burned at the stake in 1600. ¹⁷

As an itinerant lecturer and member of the Rosicrucians, Paracelsus’s ideas concerning pharmaceutical interventions, alchemy, and the use of occult magic practices spread far and wide, especially in Protestant countries that didn’t employ the Inquisition. Indeed, after Paracelsus’s death, admirers such as Johannes Huser recorded his pseudo-scientific practices in a ten-volume set, which would later be utilized and expanded upon by the leading scientific occultists of the day. John Dee was one such proselyte of Paracelsus and became a leading member of the British Rosicrucians. By all accounts, Dee was a Renaissance man with an expert’s knowledge of mathematics (calculus) and cartography (mapmaking), which was necessary for navigation to the New World and Britain’s attempts to gain ground on Spain, which had arrived there first. Dee was also accomplished in “astrology, the Cabala [the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible using esoteric methods], cypher writing [gematria or the ability to use letters and numbers as a code: e.g. 666], religion, architecture, and science.” ¹⁸

Dee was also a member of Queen Elizabeth’s inner circle, where he played a dual role similar to that of a modern-day CIA and secret service agent, tasked with thwarting attempts on her life by both internal and external enemies. Queen Elizabeth was one of several daughters of Henry VIII, and like her father, she clashed with Catholics as Britain solidified its turn away from papal control. Dee employed the use of merchant spy networks and cryptic intelligence codes to protect his queen. In fact, Ian Fleming based his protagonist, James Bond, on Dee. For example, Dee’s private communiques with Elizabeth were signed off with a square root symbol overhanging a pair of eyes, which bears the likeness of “007.” It was in this royal milieu that Freemasonry would find its chief architect, Sir Francis Bacon. ¹⁹

As we’ve seen, the Scientific Revolution grew in fits and starts, but it was Sir Francis Bacon’s (1561-1626) scientific method that would turn the scientific world upside down. Bacon would also become a member of the Rosicrucians, where he became John Dee’s protege. Bacon would later become the chief of the Rosicrusians when taking that torch from Dee. ²⁰ Bacon had bigger dreams, however, when setting out to solve the mysteries of the world while employing his scientific method, and using the esoteric knowledge of the occult that he derived from Paracelsus, Dee, and other alchemical practitioners. Such a task required Herculean effort, so Bacon also turned to biblical prophecy.

Bacon must have been misled by Irenaeus’ late dating of the Book of Revelation, as he too fell prey to reading himself into End Times prophecy, much like dispensationalists do today. In addition, Bacon also held a hyperliteralistic interpretation of apocalyptic scripture, just like Darby. In particular, Bacon’s view of the world in which he lived coincided with his reading of Daniel 12:4, which states, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” According to Bacon’s understanding, he was living in the End Times since Columbus had recently discovered the New World that unleashed a whirlwind of interest in what seemed like America’s unlimited resources and possibilities. ²¹ For example, excited Europeans thought that perhaps Eldorado, Atlantis, or the fountain of youth was just waiting to be discovered. John Dee was convinced that Atlantis was waiting to be discovered somewhere in the Americas. ²²

To be sure, circumnavigating the world and the inauguration of the Columbian Exchange’s triangular trade between the continents that bordered the Atlantic Rim (Europe, Africa, and the Americas) opened possibilities that the Greco-Roman world could have only dreamed of. Not only was Bacon witnessing the world rapidly change before his eyes, but he was shaping the Scientific Revolution that was starting to banish the Dark Ages. The discovery of the New World coupled with the developing Scientific Revolution checked off all of Bacon’s End Times boxes, much like the reestablishment of Israel in 1948 checked off all of the boxes that Darby left for his fellow dispensationalists. ²³ There were just so many similarities to apocalyptic prophecy that Bacon believed it had to be true that he was living in the Last Days.

It may seem strange for modern readers to learn that scientists living in a European society dominated by Christianity would dabble in knowledge gained from the occult. Said scientists, however, were not going to limit their use of tools if it meant advancing human knowledge while also protecting national security. The fact of the matter was that Queen Elizabeth wasn’t averse to using the powers of the occult if it meant protecting her crown and getting ahead of her Spanish rivals. Besides, Queen Elizabeth needed all the help she could get because England was facing a Spanish superpower who had access to most of the New World’s gold and silver, which gave it a considerable advantage. ²⁴

Such a phenomenon was similar to the superpower struggle that Americans experienced during the Cold War. Indeed, even our very own CIA employed an array of occultic tools in its pursuit of defeating the Soviets. Those tools included the use of LSD, hypnotism, “third eye viewing” (ESP), “psychic driving” (brainwashing), torture, and murder, to name just a few. 25 In fact, all of these unorthodox practices took place in the 1950s-60s, which witnessed some of the greatest Christian revivals and the highest percentage of Christians Americans than in any time in U.S. history. 26 Like in Elizabethan England, Bacon would not be the first or last scientist to employ Luciferian instruments in order to gain the upper hand. Undoubtedly, the Encyclopedia of Psychical Research concludes, “Bacon, Galileo, Newton, and others not only accepted occult beliefs and practices, but actively investigated alchemy, astrology and biblical prophecy. There is little doubt, too, that occult and mystical beliefs were sometimes integral to their achievements.” ²⁷

Contrary to today’s prevailing understanding of our past, the scientists of the Scientific Revolution were not atheists nor were they anti-God or anti-Satan, for that matter. Instead, they were opposed to the anti-empirical Aristotelian frameworks that dominated academia. ²⁸ Simply put, whether it be during the Elizabethan Renaissance, or the modern era, scientists of all ages employed Luciferin magic because, as everyone has been conditioned to accept, “it was a matter of national security.”

Such a phenomenon, however, didn’t mean that the European scientists named above didn’t selfcensor for purposes of self-preservation. Even the CIA hides behind a shroud of secrecy, partly due to its own survival instincts. Moreover, at the time of the Scientific Revolution, England didn’t have our modern-day notion of freedom of speech. Scientists had to be careful what they published, fearing that it might be used against them by either jealous colleagues jockeying for royal favor, or simply which monarch held the throne. It could mean murder if one wasn’t careful. This is why so many of the scientists named above belonged to the secret society of the Rosicrucians. As a matter of fact, when Queen Elizabeth died in 1603, King James (I) assumed the crown and hadn’t developed much of a palate for the occult like his predecessor. For example, when John Dee died in 1608:

²⁹

Dee’s postmortem legacy was no doubt tarnished by his communications with demons. But, since Bacon still resided in the land of the living, he was aware of the fact that some of his darker scientific inquiries required discretion. To complicate matters further, Bacon served as England’s Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England under King James. While there, he decreed legislation that made it a felony to engage in certain occultic practices. Perhaps Bacon was overcompensating for his guilty pleasures and his position as England’s top cop enabled him to avoid prosecution as a warlock. Whatever the case, Bacon would eventually be charged with bribery, a crime in which he confessed and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for a few days. As a result, Bacon’s political career was finished, which allowed him time to pursue his true passions, which was writing literature and expanding his Roscicrucians from a secret society of intellectuals to that of a universal brotherhood called the Free and Accepted Masons or what is better known today as Freemasonry. ³⁰

After Bacon fell from grace, he began writing a series of playwrights under the pseudonym, “Shakespeare.” There is considerable evidence to suggest that Bacon was, in fact, the author behind Shakespeare, especially if one is aware of the meaning behind the secret symbolism of Freemasonry. It has been said that many of Shakespeare’s plays are infused with Freemason symbolism and that when combined, the two complement each other like hand in glove. It is beyond the scope of this monograph to evaluate Bacon’s connection to Shakespeare other than to point out the fact that, in addition to his scientific achievements, he was also an imaginative and gifted writer. ³¹ It was Bacon’s creative genius that was on display in his last fictional novel called The New Atlantis: Or, Voyage to the Land of the Rosicrucians (1626). The New Atlantis would also be posthumously published and it reads like Bacon’s personalized Book of Revelation, which is to say his manifesto on Freemasonry.

In it, Bacon writes about a group of mariners who set sail from the New World and cross the Pacific Ocean on their way to China. His mariners get lost along the way only to find an uncharted island called “Bensalem”. Bensalem is Bacon’s mythological utopia based on Jerusalem, but it also seems to share attributes with the lost city of Atlantis, with which it also has contact through trade. Bensalem was filled with knowledge and technology, but the locus of Bensalem’s authority comes from “Solomon’s House”, which bears a striking resemblance to King Solomon’s Temple. The New Atlantis incorporates stories from the Old Testament, such as that of the Ark, which ultimately weave their way into the narrative. But, Bacon’s utopia also contains a letter modeled after The Book of Revelation in which St. Bartholomew (not St. John) is given a prophetic vision about the end of the age. ³² The narrator of the story (Bacon) is given an audience with the Father of Solomon’s House, in which the Father explains that all the universe’s secrets could be learned with the wisdom that emanated from Solomon’s House. The Father was meant to be God, but then again, perhaps Bacon’s Father was really Satan. After all, Bacon consorted with demons much like Adam and Eve discovered when conversing with the serpent in the Garden of Eden. The Father then gave the narrator permission to share those divine truths and esoteric knowledge with humanity for the propagation of humanitarian goals. ³³

Although The New Atlantis was a work of fiction, it foreshadowed the type of demonic utopia that Bacon envisioned once Solomon’s Temple was reconstructed in the Holy Land, and as we shall see in Part Three, the type of Luciferian dominion that Bacon sought to establish over the New World. Bacon wasn’t going to sit around and wait for his apocalyptic utopia to unfold like one of his Shakespearean plays; he was going to start by building replicas of Solomon’s Temple in order to direct the live-action version with his fellow Freemasons. In order to do so, Bacon sought to expand his Rosicrucian Order from a small band of esoteric-seeking scientists to a universal brotherhood of Free and Accepted Masons, where anyone, regardless of religion or creed, could join. As a result, and with sufficient growth, the Freemasons might be able to emerge from the shadows and openly worship their pagan gods before Christ came into the world. Like the Garden of Eden’s tree of knowledge of good and evil, Freemasonry’s quest for knowledge was too ripe a fruit for Bacon not to pick, but in doing so, Bacon made a deal with the Devil.

History of Freemasonry

There is no disputing that Freemasonry is the world’s largest secret society, but it has come up with its own cover story to make the pill easier to swallow for new recruits as well as outsiders who would have smothered it in its crib had they known the truth. If one were to ask a Freemason about its genesis, they would probably tell you that it came from the operative stonemasons who were responsible for building Europe’s gothic cathedrals during the Medieval Era. These highly skilled stonemasons belonged to craft guilds and they developed secret handshakes to identify one another when moving from project to project. They also enabled them to identify their particular station within their stonemason guild. ³⁴

³⁴ Nevill Drury, Stealing Fire from Heaven: The Rise of Modern Magic, Online edition, Oxford Academic, May 1, 2011, accessed Dec. 8, 2023, https://academic.oup.com/book/5515.

Some of these stone masons were former Knights Templars who had scattered throughout Europe due to persecution. As the Medieval Era gave way to that of the Enlightenment, the focus on the Church began to wane, and the heady days of building Gothic cathedrals came to an end. Although there was no longer a need for the craft guilds of operative stonemasons, a male social club was still necessary, so the new recruits were called “speculative” masons or Free and Accepted Masons (Freemasons), as anyone could now join the secret society. Instead of building cathedrals, Freemasonry would build, shape, and mold the ideal man using the building of Solomon’s Temple as an analogy for the progression through the various stages of one’s enlightenment. Through hard work and a lot of time, a brother may work their way through the various stages of Freemasonry where they would one day find themselves living in the celestial kingdom above along with the Grand Architect of the Universe. ³⁵

As for the unofficial genesis of Freemasonry, it is said that Bacon is credited with creating the Freemasons from his Rosicrucians. Bacon invented a fictional character, Christian Rosenkreutz, who supposedly founded the Rosicrucians two hundred years prior, in 1407, so as to eliminate those who would worship the founder instead of focusing on the task ahead. Then, in 1617, Bacon anonymously wrote three manifestos that would later provide the blueprint for Freemasonry. Later, those manifestos became the basis of his last fictional novel, The New Atlantis (detailed above). And finally, if Christian Rosenkreutz was the fictional founder of the Rosicrucians, Freemasonry needed a fictional founder as well. Instead of a Medieval heroine, however, Bacon fabricated an individual who could be connected all the way back to Solomon’s Temple. Bacon named his character Hiram Abiff, who was the architect in charge of building Solomon’s Temple. ³⁶

As the familiar story goes, when Abiff was overseeing the construction of Solomon’s Temple, three apprentices approached him because they were dissatisfied with their compensation. They sought the divine secrets that only Abiff possessed, because this would lead to their promotion and, consequently, higher wages. But when Abiff wouldn’t give up the divine secret knowledge, the three craftsmen killed him and buried him outside the city using a sprig of acacia wood to mark his grave. Eventually, the three were caught and executed, but Abiff’s legend lives on within Freemasonry because he didn’t give up the secrets of his craft even in death. Apparently, there are no shortcuts in Freemasonry, and Abiff’s profile in courage is to be replicated by every Mason today, as secrecy is of utmost importance. In addition, every Freemason must go through a similar initiation ceremony to what Hiram Abiff experienced when becoming a Master Mason. ³⁷

As the Rosicrucians transitioned to Freemasonry, Bacon then chose the future date of 1717 as the official kickoff of when Freemasonry would emerge from the shadows. To this day, the first and greatest of the Freemason temples throughout the world is the Grand Temple, which was founded in London in 1717. ³⁸ Indeed, Freemasonry has quite a multifaceted genesis, but then again, Bacon was no ordinary man.

Modern Freemasonry

Freemasonry has grown to become the world’s largest secret society since its founding in 1717. As for the modern definition of Freemasonry, Encyclopedia Britannica states that:

³⁹

In translation, Freemasonry is the world’s largest secret society because it is the world’s largest Satanic organization in disguise. In America alone, Freemasonry hosts over 3,000 temples and lodges that serve its 4 million members. If one counts its affiliates, such as the Order of the Eastern Star (a female version of Freemasonry), the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), the Shriners, or Skull and Bones, the number grows to over 15,000 organizations. Every town hosts at least one lodge or temple, and like Scientology, there are degrees that one may climb by completing rituals. In fact, Scientology was influenced by Freemasonry, but that is another story in and of itself. The higher one ascends the Freemason pyramid, the more they learn the secret esoteric knowledge of the ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman gods, which, in reality, are manifestations of the occult and Lucifer’s fallen angels. Unlike Christianity, where one’s salvation is a free gift based upon God’s grace to all who believe in Jesus Christ, Freemasonry is based on works in which one must earn one’s way to the celestial temple of the Grand Architect above. ⁴⁰

In order to join Freemasonry, one must believe in some sort of deity and cannot be an atheist. In fact, Freemasons consider atheists stupid, ignorant fools. That is because Freemasons call their god the Grand Architect of the Universe, but he is not the same God as Jesus Christ. In truth, one is prohibited from uttering Jesus’ name in a temple or lodge and will be disciplined if His name just so happens to slip out of one’s mouth. ⁴¹ It is only at the highest levels that one learns that the Grand Architect of the Universe is Lucifer himself. As 33° Mason (the highest level), Albert Pike (1809-1891) wrote in Morals and Dogma, which has been described as the bible of Freemasonry, “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, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!” ⁴² Such a blasphemous statement runs contrary to Jesus’ words when he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Of course, one would expect such a statement from Albert Pike, a disciple of Lucifer, since the Bible calls Satan the father of lies.

Like the general public, most new or lower-level Masons are unaware of the Satanic connections to Freemasonry. As Pike, a spiritual architect of Freemasonry states, “Within Freemasonry, there has always been a lodge within a lodge,” and “Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except for the Adepts and Sages (those of the 32nd and 33rd degrees), or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misrepresentations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve to be mislead…Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it…” ⁴³ Freemasonry stands in stark contrast to Christianity, in which there are no hidden secrets, as Christ proclaimed the Truth to anyone willing to listen. Of course, Freemasons, like Lucifer, are aware that Jesus is God, but they refuse to accept His authoritative Truth as that would require them to bend the knee and live accordingly. As Altiyan “Childs” Juric (who was the winner of Australia’s X-Factor in 2010), a former Freemaon turned whistleblower, pointed out, “most religions hide their secrets whereas Freemasonry hides their truths.” ⁴⁴

Confucius once said that “Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws,” and it would seem that Confucius’ wisdom was custom-made for the secret society of Freemasonry. The most visible symbols of Freemasonry are the square and the compass. Those tools stem from their origins as stonemasons, but all Masonic symbols contain different meanings depending on whether one belongs to the “uninitiated” or the “elect.” Concerning the latter, the significance of the 33° comes from the Book of Genesis, where God expelled Satan from Heaven along with one-third of his angels. Lucifer is the god of Freemasonry and the god of the fallen angels, otherwise known as demons. ⁴⁵ Similar to the utility of a dog whistle, Freemasons use symbols to communicate their allegiance to other members and to convey insider information. For example, recall the story of Bacon’s master craftsman, Hiram Abiff, who was in charge of building Solomon’s Temple. Masons used secret handshakes from that fictional story, and they still employ them today to identify each other. At the same time, outsiders often overlook Masonic symbols or may dismiss them as insignificant, such as the symbols displayed on U.S. currency. The Egyptian pyramid and the all-seeing eye (the eye of the Egyptian God Horus), as well as everything else on the dollar bill, feature Masonic symbolism, including the portraits of the founding fathers, most of whom were Freemasons. (I will expand upon the Freemason Founding Fathers in Part Three). ⁴⁶

There are hundreds of other symbolic meanings unique to Freemasonry, but I’ll provide one final example as it’s instructive of how some Masons choose to conduct their lives. For instance, every Masonic temple features a white and black checkered floor called Masonic mosaic pavement. Like the yin and yang, or the Baphomet, for that matter, the floor represents the duality of good and evil. This phenomenon isn’t unique to Freemasonry, but has been an essential part of the pagan religions for thousands of years. According to the laws of Freemasonry, initiates may pursue either side of the spectrum to the fullest extent possible, since it is only natural. Let Pike explain:

⁴⁷

⁴⁷ Albert Pike, as quoted in, David J. Stewart, “Famous Baptists Who Were Freemasons,” https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Freemasonry/famous_baptists.htm.

By attributing Lucifer with goodness, Pike has perverted the concept of good and evil, which has given Freemasons license to act on their animal instincts. According to Altiyan Childs, what this means is “you can’t separate good from evil, so there’s no such thing as sin. Which means evil is good.” 48 Simply put, Freemasons may be as bad as they want to be, as it is only natural in a world governed by Lucifer.

And similar to the duality of good and evil, the ancient mystery religions also adhere to the duality of masculinity vs its feminine counterpart. For example, if the god of the sun represents the masculine aspect of the heavens, the god of the moon is its feminine counterpart. The Freemason obelisk, a phallic symbol, represents the masculine, while the dome is its female counterpart. The same concept holds true for Satan, who is the masculine manifestation of the Evil One, whereas Lucifer represents the feminine form. ⁴⁹

Concerning secrecy, Albert Mackey (1807-1881), another 33° spiritual architect of Freemasonry, stated that:

The secrecy of this institution is another and most important landmark…If divested of its secret character, it would lose its identity, and would cease to be Freemasonry…death of the order would follow its legalized exposure. Freemasonry, as a secret association, has lived unchanged for centuries; as an open society it would not last for many years.” 50

What’s ironic is that it has been said that the average low-level Freemason knows less about Freemasonry than the average person. Such a phenomenon seems inexplicable, given that hundreds of thousands of pages of ink have been devoted to the subject, including hundreds of books and encyclopedias, accessible to anyone with a library card or internet access. In addition, thanks to YouTube, there are more than a few repentant Freemason whistleblowers who have disclosed the truth of what really goes on inside the upper echelons of the world’s largest secret society (see footnote below for examples). ⁵¹ Perhaps Freemasons, like Scientologists, are discouraged from becoming internet sleuths as only those on the inside “really know the truth.” Whatever the case, such damning occultic knowledge is hidden from recruits until the Most Worshipful Master, the leader of the lodge, and other upper level officers feel that the initiate is ready to progress to higher degrees. ⁵²

Perhaps it’s best to illustrate the degrees of Freemasonry using the American school system as an analogy. Like primary school, every Mason begins in the “Blue Lodge,” and there are three basic degrees through which one may progress. They are called the Entered Apprentice (Kindergarten-3rd grade), Fellowcraft (4th-6th grade), and Master Mason (7th-8th grade). Most Masons end their “education” there, but for those enlightened individuals who wish to proceed, the Master Mason may either choose to go one of two ways: the Scottish Rite or the York Rite. The Scottish Rite has 33 degrees, which contain titles such as “Royal Arch of Solomon” (13th degree), “Prince of Jerusalem” (16th), “Prince of the Tabernacle” (24th), “Knight of the Brazen Spirit” (25th), and rounding out the last three: “Inspector Inquisitor, Master of the Royal Secret, and Active or Honorary” (31st, 32nd, and 33rd degrees respectively.) The York Rite is the other branch a Mason may enlist in once they’ve graduated from the Blue Lodge. A member of the York Rite may progress through 13 chapters. Similar to a 33° Freemason in the Scottish Rite, the “Order of the Knights Templar Commandery” is the highest one may attain in the York Rite. It is rare for a Freemason to achieve the highest degrees or chapters, and such a feat may be comparable to earning a Ph.D. ⁵³

Or, if that wasn’t helpful, a Christian pastor who became an expert on the Freemasonry likened the differing degrees of Freemasonry to degrees of demonic possession. The higher one ascends the Freemason hierarchy, the better the chances that one has become possessed by one or more demons. For example, there is a ritual whenever a Freemason climbs a rung, and it has been compared to that of a Christian baptism, but blasphemous in every conceivable way. For example, when one is baptized in Christ, they are said to be a new creation, or what we commonly refer to as a born-again Christian. In Freemasonry, however, “the candidate symbolically dies, only to be reborn in the circle of his sacred brethren.” ⁵⁴ During the ritual, the initiate is often blindfolded, led around by a “cable tow” (rope or noose), and has to recite certain oaths and chants. ⁵⁵ Sometimes they have to kiss an open Bible, for which they have their own version called “‘The Holy Bible: The Great Light in Masonry’, King James Version, Temple Illustrated Edition.” They usually recite from the Old Testament when biblical passages are utilized, but when they do read from the New Testament, the name of Jesus Christ is intentionally removed. Then, the simulated death varies depending on the degree inferred. The severity and shock value rises as one ascends the levels of the Freemason fraternity. They may start from making loud noises like firing blanks from a gun, trust falls, and move towards simulating being stabbed with swords, drinking wine from a human skull, or, when nearing the top of the pyramid, uncovering a severed human head. According to former Freemason whistleblowers, it is at the highest levels that animals or worse are sacrificed. ⁵⁶

Beyond mocking Christian baptism, the Scottish Rite Freemasons also mock communion. On the Thursday before Easter, they gather wearing long black hooded robes and recite, “We meet this day to commemorate the death of our most ‘Most Wise and Perfect Master,’ not as divine, for this is not for us to decide, but at least the greatest of apostles of mankind.” Then they take the bread, saying “Take, eat, and give to the hungry,” and of the wine, “Take, drink, and give to the thirsty.” ⁵⁷

⁵⁷ ____, “The Bible-the Word of God-Versus-The ‘Error’ of Freemasonry,” Menorah Ministries, as quoted from, https://www.menorah.org/errorsoffreemasonry.

Masons, like Muslims before them, may believe that Jesus was a great man, a prophet, or in this case, an apostle, but they will refuse to admit that he was God incarnate. As such, Freemasonry is a counterfeit religion or an antichrist of sorts. Some followers may claim that Freemasonry is a philosophy, but both Albert Pike and Mackey have admitted it is, in fact, a religion. In addition, there are numerous criteria in order to establish if an organization meets the definition of a religion, and Freemasonry doesn’t just check a few boxes; it checks them all. ⁵⁸

As a religion, the primary purpose of Freemasonry seems to be that of mocking and blaspheming God and especially His Son, Jesus Christ. Not only do Freemasons mock baptism and communion, but they also blaspheme the name of God during their pagan rituals. For example, in the York Rite, members use the phrase “I am that I am” to identify themselves, and they also use this phrase as a password during some of their rituals. In the Scottish Rite, the passwords used are “Jehovah” for the 6th degree and “Immanuel” for the 18th degree. Freemasons have also come up with their own name for God, using a combination of the “pagan deities Baal and Osiris, resulting in the name Jab-bul-on.” ⁵⁹

Drugs, orgies, and prostitution are rent within the upper levels of Freemasonry, but that is why everything has to be kept a secret because their sin and depravity must be disguised. The so-called baptisms of death are a not-so-subtle threat that if ever they should reveal their craft’s secrets, they will be killed, and this time, it won’t be fictitious. For example, when becoming a Master Mason (3rd degree), the initiate must swear that “binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken out and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered to the four winds of heaven.” ⁶⁰ This may sound rather silly to the “unelect,” but there are historical examples of brothers who developed a conscience and were killed for exposing the inner workings of their secret society. (We shall see this play out in Part Three.) Between the death threats, drug and alcohol use, sexual perversions, and sacrifices, members usually fall in line because there is so much evidence that can be used to blackmail a brother who contemplates exposing the Craft.

Amongst other things, it has been said that Freemasonry is also a sex cult devoted to every lascivious perversion imaginable, which makes its members particularly susceptible to honeypot sexual blackmail schemes. ⁶¹ The world’s intelligence agencies have employed such tactics for years, and often, Freemasons play a role on both sides. For example, Freemason F.B.I. director, J. Edgar Hoover, employed a system of sexual blackmail that was second to none. He used these schemes in order to shape major events that happened during the Cold War. ⁶² Although Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t a Mason, Hoover employed sexual blackmail against him because Hoover opposed the causes that King championed. As a result, the F.B.I. sent a letter to King in 1964 suggesting that he commit suicide, otherwise they would release the embarrassing details of his extramarital relationships. ⁶³

Unlike the forgiveness that Jesus offers, the Freemasons have become experts at exploiting individuals’ sinful desires against them in order to prevent fellow brothers, or in this case, people like MLK Jr., from speaking the truth. It has also allowed them the ability to shape the political landscape, and it’s not usually for the betterment of society.

There are also professional opportunities to advance one’s career by joining the brotherhood. It is said that the music industry, Hollywood, and law enforcement are teeming with Freemasons (or a similar Satanic affiliate like the Kabbalah). ⁶⁴ Some individuals in those very industries have reported being passed over for promotions because they didn’t join the brotherhood. Not only does enlisting improve one’s prospects for advancement, but there are additional steps one may take to supercharge their professional career. In order to do so, all that is required is that one must sell one’s soul. For example, it is documented that the spiritual architects of Freemasonry, Royal Arch Mason Arthur Edward Waite (1857- 1942) and 33° Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) signed the rather infamous Lucifer Pact. The agreement states:

⁶⁵

Then, those who sign the pact must do so with their blood. It would seem that Hall made good on his bargain with Lucifer as he invented the tarot card, which has become a ubiquitous way of displaying the Satanic symbolism of Freemasonry on a deck of cards. ⁶⁶ But, for those still not convinced that such a Faustian arrangement exists, one should view the 60 Minutes interview between Ed Bradley and Bob Dylan. During the interview, Bradley asks Dylan why he hasn’t retired yet. Dylan admits that despite his age, he can’t retire from touring and the music industry because he made “a bargain with, the you know, a long time ago, and I’m holding up my end…to get where I am now…with the chief commander…from this earth and the world we can’t see.” ⁶⁷

Besides selling one’s soul to gain the world, there are other perks when joining the brotherhood, especially if one finds themselves in hot water. As can be imagined, such a phenomenon occurs rather frequently. Freemasons, however, have a contingency plan for such an occasion since they swear that their first allegiance is to protect each other when in legal jeopardy or distress. They even have secret hand signals, known as the Grand Hailing Sign, for such occasions. Those safeguards must even be applied to Freemason brothers who are enemy combatants in times of war at the expense of their fellow countrymen. In other words, a Freemason’s first loyalty is that of the brotherhood, not one’s country. ⁶⁸

Besides, Freemasons at the highest levels often remain silent or cover for each other because they prefer their hedonistic activities. Such a licentious lifestyle could only be carried out within a secret society like Freemasonry. ⁶⁹ As the Bible makes clear, Satan employs deception since he is the father of lies and the prince of this world; it just so happens that the Freemasons are his foot soldiers. But, those Freemason necromancers who consult with demons and the spirits of the dead will one day discover that they won’t find life from the spirits of the dead, because only Jesus, the resurrected Christ, is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

The Freemason Connection to Dispensationalism

Like Nazism, as horrifically fascinating as it is to study Freemasonry, the purpose of this section is to connect the Freemason Zionists to that of Darby’s dispensationalism. It may be recalled from Part One that Darby and Scofield tricked dispensationalists into supporting the reestablishment of Israel, as they were then led to believe that biblical prophecy would be fulfilled. Little do dispensationalists know that such a ruse was used so that Christians would do the bidding of the Freemasons. A poll in 2018 indicated that 66 percent of Christians support Israel because they believe doing so is important for fulfilling the End Times prophecies. ⁷⁰ Moreover, there are 30 times as many Christian Zionists worldwide as there are Jewish Zionists, so this is not an insignificant deception. Therefore, the world’s 300 million dispensationalist Christians must understand why they were deceived since this stratagem not only has implications for the Middle East, and hence all of our futures, but also how individual believers choose to lead their personal walks of faith. ⁷¹

As we’ve seen from Part One, too many Christians have taken their focus off the good news of what Jesus accomplished on the cross and instead worry about how they will survive if they are left behind. What’s worse is that those dispensationalists who are confident they’ll be raptured to Heaven tend to validate their faith by the seemingly endless conflicts on the ground in Israel and the Middle East. For example, in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel, leading Christian Zionist preachers like John Hagee and Greg Laurie see the increase in anti-Semitism around the world as a result of their brutal bombing campaign in Gaza as a positive development. Laurie believes it is a “‘super-sign’ that the ‘prophetic clock ticking is the regathering of the nation Israel into their homeland.’” ⁷²

Like making sausage, it’s not a pretty picture, but dispensationalists are convinced that the ends justify the means. Consequently, adherence to dispensationalism has led to the distortion of a Christian’s moral compass, much like the phenomenon experienced by Christian slave owners in the antebellum South. In brief, both tend to warp Christians’ minds because neither is justified by the teachings contained in the New Testament.

As bad as that contagion may be, the dispensational deception has also caused millions of Christians to enlist in Satan’s army themselves directly. It is estimated that of the 4 million Freemasons living in the United States, at least 1.5 million of them belong to the Southern Baptist Convention. (Although nearly half of America’s Freemasons belong to the Southern Baptists, that is not to say that half of the Southern Baptists belong to Freemasonry, as there are 13 million Southern Baptists: the largest Christian denomination in the U.S.) In fact, the SBC is the only evangelical denomination that has voted to authorize its fellow Baptists to subscribe to Freemasonry. ⁷³ Despite the fact that the two faiths are seemingly polar opposites, the two have become fellow travelers due to Israel, the one cause they hold in common.

Southern Baptists who have unwittingly joined Freemasonry undoubtedly violate Christian prohibitions against swearing oaths of secrecy as well as swearing blasphemous oaths such as “I am that I am” or “Jahbulon.” Southern Baptists must also feel uncomfortable uttering titles to undeserving people like “Most Worshipful Master.” Surely, they must feel uneasy during the Satanic baptisms and communion while praying to the nebulous Grand Architect of the Universe rather than Jesus Christ. It is doubtful that a faithful Christian would find themselves at the top of the Freemason strata since they are probably unwilling to embrace what Masons call the true light of the world—Lucifer himself.

As a type of antichrist, however, Freemasons are encouraged to infiltrate the church to corrupt and lead Christians astray. In fact, many Freemasons are in positions of church leadership, from pastors to elders to music leaders, and even those who lead Sunday school. ⁷⁴ They have also infiltrated dispensationalist congregations in order to lead the charge when lobbying for Christians to give their unconditional support to Israel. In light of the totality of the information presented thus far, it would seem the Freemason deception has been quite successful. Beyond collaborating with each other in order to establish the state of Israel (discussed in more detail below), the Freemasons’ and Christian Zionists’ work isn’t complete as they both seek to rebuild a 3rd Temple in Jerusalem.

Dispensationalists are interested in seeing a 3rd Temple rebuilt in order to hasten Jesus’ return. Although not all Christians, nor all Jews, believe that a 3rd Temple must be built, some do, and Kosher Law requires that a series of conditions must be met before the construction of the 3rd Temple may begin. Most of the requirements must be fulfilled by the Jews themselves, such as raising a class of priests who haven’t been tainted by the outside world. But, there is another prerequisite that American dispensationalists reckon they are particularly well suited for, since that consists of breeding an unblemished red heifer. Like what Solomon’s and Herod’s Temples required, a perfect red heifer must be sacrificed before the 3rd Temple’s construction, and there have been several promising candidates over the years. However, just as soon as the “chosen one” has been found, the cow sprouts a couple of white hairs, derailing the whole process. As such, it’s back to the genetic drawing board, but they were confident that it’s not a matter of if, but when. ⁷⁵

Indeed, while working in conjunction with Israel’s Temple Institute, dispensationalist breeders from Texas hit the genetic lottery because they managed to raise five ritually pure red heifers, which they sent to Israel on September 22, 2022. In fact, Hamas claimed that the arrival of the red heifers was one of the reasons why it carried out its October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, since they feared that Israel would tear down the Temple Mount’s Al-Aqsa Mosque and replace it with the 3rd Temple. ⁷⁶

Like Southern Baptists, Freemasons are also preoccupied by rebuilding Solomon’s Temple in Israel. Ever since Bacon started Freemasonry, the layout, architecture, as well as the ritualistic paraphernalia used in the Grand Temple of London, were modeled after Solomon’s Temple. For example, London’s Grand Temple is modeled after Solomon’s in “that it was ‘sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high. (1 Kings 6:2).’” ⁷⁷ The Grand Temple also features a large set of bronze double doors that separate the holiest of holies. Similar to Solomon’s Temple, two large pillars bookend the altar. “The one on the left hand is called BOAZ and denotes strength; that upon the right is called JACHIN, and denotes establishment; together, they allude to a promise made by God to David that in strength would He establish his kingdom.” ⁷⁸ But, unlike Solomon’s Temple, the Grand Temple prominently displays a pentagram in front of the Most Worshipful Master’s chair. ⁷⁹

Albert Mackey, a Freemason spiritual architect, claimed, “Of all the objects which constitute the Masonic science of symbolism, the most important, the most cherished, by the Mason, and by far the most significant, is the Temple of Jerusalem…Take from Freemasonry its dependence on the Temple; leave out its ritual all references to that sacred edifice, and to the legends and traditions connected with it, and the system itself would at once decay and die…” ⁸⁰ As such, every lodge or temple throughout the world strives to model itself after Solomon’s temple. In this respect, the Freemason temple represents the covetousness of the Pharisees who chose their temple over Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate. In this way, the Freemason houses of worship continue to mock Jesus by holding that their temple, made by human hands, is more sacred than His sacrifice upon the cross. Similar to the 1st-century Whore of Babylon, Freemasonry has become the reincarnation of the synagogue of Satan, to be sure. As biblical wisdom tells us, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

Once Completed, End Times’ Prophecy Will Be Fulfilled!,” The Cutting Edge, https://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1643.cfm. (Broken link.)

Had he the opportunity, Bacon would have probably rebuilt Solomon’s Temple himself, since it represented the sacred foundation upon which the Freemasons’ hybridized occult-Old Testament theology was built. But Bacon, like his fellow Templars, was fully aware that such an enterprise wasn’t remotely possible since the Muslims expelled the Templars from the Holy Land during the 14th century. Bacon would just have to content himself with building replicas of Solomon’s Temple, first in London, but eventually wherever the sun set on the British flag, which would ultimately encompassed one quarter of the world’s landmass. Since then, Freemasonry has expanded beyond those limited confines and can be found in every country of the world today.

Although Freemasons lacked the logistical ability to rebuild Solomon’s Temple in the Holy Land throughout the 17th-19th centuries, that didn’t prevent them from going on archaeological expeditions to lay the groundwork. Indeed, the Freemasons’ interest in the Holy Land would be reignited after Napoleon’s expedition to the Middle East in 1798-99. ⁸¹ In 1854, American missionary and Freemason James Barclay, with the help of his dog, just so happened to discover the ancient rock quarry cave that Solomon utilized to build his Temple. Subsequently, Freemason archaeologists, American Robert Morris and Sir Charles Warren, confirmed that the cave was, in fact, Solomon’s quarry. ⁸² According to Michael A. Hoffman, II, in 1867, Warren “enacted rituals and engaged in extensive work in the Middle East in connection with the Masonic mission to lay the groundwork for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. Warren is credited with the rediscovery of the five-hundred-yard ‘Hasmonean Tunnel,’…and is reputed to be under the former site of the Temple of Herod, destroyed in A.D. 70 by Roman legions.” ⁸³ It would also seem that Freemasons had an uncanny ability to locate the underground catacombs of the ancient Temples, much like their Knights Templar cousins before them. Perhaps the Templars, who joined the Freemasons, still held possession of the secrets they discovered in Solomon’s Temple in the 12th century, which helped them locate Solomon’s quarry centuries later. Whatever the case may be, their continued perseverance in matters relating to Solomon’s Temple might just pay off, enabling them to recapture control of the Holy Land along with their Freemason brothers.

When the British took possession of the Holy Land after World War I, they used Solomon’s quarry to extract large stones to use as cornerstones for their temples throughout the world. Today, it is called Zedekiah Cave, and Freemasons from all over the world make an annual pilgrimage there to share in a special ceremony within the subterranean cave. ⁸⁴ According to Slava Bazarsky, who runs a tour guide company dedicated to serving those pilgrims, “It is no mistake that Jerusalem is the holiest place for any “free mason” — it is the quarries of King Solomon, the legendary builder of the First Temple, and according to the traditions of the masons, the first Mason in the world!” ⁸⁵ Not only is Jerusalem sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims, but Freemasons as well, thus proving that the land is indeed Holy. Anyone touring East Jerusalem and interested in visiting Zedekiah Cave may find it located on the corner of Herzl Street and Sderot Rothschild Boulevard, right next to the Rockefeller Archeological Museum.

By discovering Zedekiah Cave, Freemasons had moved one step closer to realizing their dream of rebuilding Solomon’s Temple, as they now have the literal building blocks to do so. Such a phenomenon may have attracted Southern Baptists to Freemasonry, as they, too, are interested in rebuilding the Third Temple. Indeed, Southern Baptists, like all dispensationalists, continue to extend their financial and political support of Zionist causes with the hope that someone will start construction on the 3rd Temple. In that respect, most dispensationalists have taken a rather laissez-faire approach towards building a Third Temple, as long as it gets completed. In this way, dispensationalists may help set the stage for the End Times, while at the same time claiming that their hands are clean, since they don’t have to build the temple in which they believe the Antichrist will one day reign.

Dispensationalists assume, however, that they’ll be raptured to Heaven before they bow down to any Antichrist and most certainly before the battle of Armageddon. They have learned this lesson well thanks to Darby, Scofield, Hal Lindsey, and Timothy LaHaye’s fictional Left Behind books. As such, they don’t seem to mind that building the Third Temple will probably trigger WWIII, since the Temple will be built upon the ruins of Islam’s third holiest site, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Dome of the Rock that sits atop the Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock is sacred to Muslims because they believe that Muhammad ascended to Heaven from this rock outcropping when on his midnight journey to Mecca. ⁸⁶

Southern Baptists who have partnered with the Freemasons concerning their desire to rebuild Solomon’s Temple must fail to recognize the blasphemous symbolism and imagery when entering their local Freemason temple, since they believe in Darby’s invention of the dual covenant system. Although extrabiblical, the dual covenant maintains that Christians may find salvation through Christ, whereas Jews may obtain salvation through their adherence to Mosaic Law. Perhaps they figure that Freemasonry can’t be half bad, since their rituals honor Solomon’s Temple, and at least they utilize the Old Testament. Solomon’s Temple was God’s first “house,” after all.

Freemasonry also presents another challenge for Southern Baptists, as the brotherhood requires a significant commitment of time to fundraising and philanthropic pursuits. Of course, there is nothing wrong with philanthropic work, but many have reported that such a phenomenon has become a substitute for one’s church. Some mistakenly believe that they are serving the Lord when they are doing the work of their local temple. ⁸⁷ Beyond their similar views concerning the 3rd Temple, both groups are committed to the concept of Greater Israel, no matter how many wars it will take for Israel to subjugate the Middle East as well as their Palestinian neighbors living in Israel’s West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

In light of the information above, it becomes clear how the two seemingly opposite faiths are drawn to each other, as their longings for the End Times converge on multiple fronts. Such a phenomenon, however, should serve as a wake-up call to dispensationalists, indicating that they may not be on the righteous path. Perhaps Dispensationalists are walking a fine line when making their pact with the Devil since they’re willing to collaborate with Satan’s Freemasons as long as the ends justify the means. The incongruity between Christianity and Freemasonry is evident to anyone on the outside looking in, so it is imperative that dispensationalists are aware of the company they keep. It is also essential that dispensationalists learn who exactly tricked them into adopting the same eschatological goals as the Freemasons.
