Babylonian Mysteries Pt 6

Now for a continuation of the Babylonian mysteries and where they went from Babel as the people spread on the face of the earth. The mysteries spread to Asia, India, Africa and were carried into the Americas under the name of other pagan religions.

As for the Babylonian mysteries in their original form, they did not discontinue because of Babel's dispersion. Instead they were continued by those who remained. We see it later in the Scriptures in Egypt, and the Canaanites, Sodom and Gomorrah, and all the other pagans around the Mid-East. Notice how when God chose Abraham, Satan went to work to try to destroy his descendants. First Sodom and Gomorrah, then his grandson Jacob/Israel ends up with his twelve boys in Egypt, a very pagan society. To enter the promised land they have to fight all of the pagan societies there, which they don’t always do as completely as commanded by God and intermarriage becomes a problem. Then Israel is taken captive by the Babylonians, where the priests incorporate the Babylonian mysteries into Judaism creating Kaballah This was nothing more than paganism with a topcoat of Judaism. The prophets in the O.T. were sent to warn the people about this. This is why Christ was so angry with the Pharisees. He knew what they were really believing and teaching. When Christ came, Satan then needed to destroy or corrupt Christianity as he had Judaism. Just as Kaballah was the counterfeit to Judaism, Gnosticism was the counterfeit to Christianity. In the near and far east, Christianity fell on deaf ears. In the Middle East it flourished and churches were born. Eventually this forced the mystery religions into secret societies. When Constantine made it the national religion, he started appointing religious leaders who were not actually Christians, just political allies. The secret societies jumped in to grab these positions of power and made Christianity over into a cover religion for their own purposes. When Gratian renounced the Pontifex Maximus title or head of the Babylonian mysteries, as already mentioned, it passed to the Bishop of Rome. Thus the corruption of Christianity within the formal Christian church was complete, just as it had happened in Judaism.

In the 11th century, the Knights Templar were a special order under the Vatican. They were believed to be an order above reproach. They were supposed to be a charitable organization. Many nobles and princes willed their estates to them. Within 200 years they became the bankers of Europe because of this wealth. In 1307 King Phillip IV had a run-in with the Templars. He discovered that in actuality they were a Satanic cult using the gnostic teachings and ancient mystery religion rites. To get into the order, one had to commit sodomy, spit on the cross of Christ, denounce Christ and swear allegiance to Lucifier. They used the name Lucifer as this is what Satan had them call him - his supposedly original name which means light-bearer. He presented himself as the way of enlightenment to them. The people of Europe were outraged. Germany and France demanded that investigations be done. A trial was held and the Knights Templar confessed. At that time the leader of the KT was Jacques DeMolay. He was the most well-known Satanist of all time. In the Masonic “bible” Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike, he says that the KTs had been masters of deception and experts in duplicity appearing to serve Christ on the surface while worshiping Lucifer in their inner rites. The Templars like all secret organizations had two doctrines, one concealed and revealed only to the masters, and one for the public whom they deceived. On May 12, 1310, fifty-four French Templars were burned alive in Paris. Prior to his execution, Jacques DeMolay formed four secret underground lodges. One at Naples for the east, one at Edinburgh for the west, one at Stockholm for the north and one at Paris for the south. That he founded these four is testified to by the fact that although they differ in some respects, his initials are found used in the same order in the first three degrees of ascension. These secret societies kept underground and were governed by unknown people revealing themselves only to those who passed through a series of degrees and proved themselves worthy to be trusted with the secrets. At this time there was a massive flow of gold and silver from France to Scotland. Scotland became the power base of these secret societies.

A couple hundred years passed while these orders kept themselves secret. In the late 1500’s and early 1600’s they decided to try to go public. They created a document called the “Teachings of Christian Rosencroix” which allegorically told the history of the Knights Templar through the life of a person searching for spiritual enlightenment who went to the Middle East and came in contact with superior occult teachings and brought them back to Europe. They floated these documents to university leaders and scholars with a return address to gauge interest. They were overwhelmed by the responses. This was due in part to the Renaissance and enlightenment philosophies that were developing at the time. They became known then as the Rosacrucians. Shortly after that they went public. They needed a public front and organization already respected and established for their cover. At that time building guilds were threatened with extinction and wanted to keep their building traditions alive, so they agreed to a take-over by the Rosacrusians. So the Rosacrusians became the Stone Masons Guild, or as we know them today, the Masons. The KTs became known as “speculative” masons and they adopted all the symbols of the Masonic guild such as the square and compass.

By early 1717, the first grand lodge was formed. In 1801 in Charleston, SC, the first U.S. grand lodge was founded. By the late 1700’s Masonry was accepted in Europe as a charitable organization. In 1776 the Illuminati was created. Albert G. Marley who is a Masonic historian describes the Illuminati as a secret society founded on May 1, 1776 by Adam Weishopt who was a professor of Canon law at the University of Inglestadt. He is celebrated in the history of masonry as the founder of the order of Illuminati in Bavaria. It was very popular and had 2000 names of distinguished men in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Italy, and Germany. Its purpose was similar to our Council on Foreign Relations today. They wanted their men in key political advisory positions around the world to favor world government. They were exposed in about ten years by someone who seized some of their documents and sent them to leaders of Europe. These leaders thought it was so outrageous, they paid no attention. George Washington, John Adams, and James Madison warned the U.S. about the Illuminati. When our government was founded we had Illuminists and Masons as our founding leaders. That is why you will find so many occultic symbols at our nation’s capital and on our nation’s currency. - The Washington Monument (obelisk); the pyramid with the missing capstone, all-seeing eye, and words Novus Ordo Seclorum on the currency. The use of all of this in our country is another study in and of itself.

The Illuminati is an order within the order of high Freemasonry. It consists of “Illuminized” masons that are so high up the ladder of masonry that they have been initiated into the secret teachings of Lucifer (generally 30-33rd degrees). That’s what Illuminati means - enlightened ones, descended from the light-bearer (Lucifer). In 1782 before exposed, at a congress of Wilhemsbot, they solidified their control and power. It was a meeting of all the secret societies in Europe. Masonry came out on top in the lead role. There was a marriage between banking families (many of whom had been the Knights Templar of old) and masonry. Rothschild joined them to go international. Masonry needed money for the French revolution. Napolean and his advisors were all masons. In the 1820’s Rothschild was the most powerful banking family in Europe. Others that cooperated also became powerful and those that didn’t cooperate didn’t become powerful. By the mid 1800’s bankers began to fund capitalists in America - the Rockefellers, Carnegies, etc. These people founded the Federal Reserve. A few years after, the same group founded the League of Nations (the first attempt at a world government). America refused to participate. The CFR was also established by the same group in the 1920’s to keep failure of a world government organization from happening again. When the UN was established, Rockefeller donated land on our country’s soil for the buildings to sort of force our participation.

In the 1800’s pseudo-Christian cults were founded by masons. Joseph Smith - founder of the Mormons was a 33rd degree mason. And Brigham Young was a mason. The Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science and spiritism “churches” were all founded by masons. The Theosophical Society was founded by a female mason - Helena Pretrovka Blavotsky. She established the Lucifer magazine which lasted only six months due to people’s outrage at the name. Alice Foster Bailey founded the Lucifer Publishing Co., but changed its name to Lucis Trust. It was headquartered at the UN and helped found the UN, but has moved its site. Lucis Trust created the organization World Goodwill. In 1961 it began to publish a newsletter with the World Union. The top three leaders of the World Union are (or at least were when I last researched this) leaders of the World Constitution and Parliament Association.

There is a lot more to all of this information, but we will leave it until we get to our study of the present state of the world as it is preparing for the rise of the antichrist. This was just to give a brief history of Babylon. For now, we need to continue from our study.
