  The Masonic Seal of America

  "Historian/author Ralph Epperson has spent many years researching the history of the Great Seal, and has discovered that those who designed the two circles committed America to what has been called "A Secret Destiny." This future "destiny" is so unpleasant that those who wanted the changes it entails had to conceal that truth in symbols."

  SOURCE: The New World Order, back cover, by Ralph A. Epperson; 1990; ISBN: 0-9614135-1-4; publisher: PUBLIUS PRESS, Tucson, Arizona.

  This is the Great Seal of the United States of America. It was designed by the Freemasons and contains a mass of symbolism that the profane (non masons) are not to understand. This article will once and for all prove that the Seal is a Masonic design. Have you ever asked the question 'Why is there a Pyramid on our $1 note"? The religion of Freemasonry and some of it's mysteries have descended from ancient Egypt whose mysteries descended from ancient Babylon. The Pyramid has of old been a fascination of Freemasons. It is a pagan temple of Satan worship. Aleister Crowley, Freemason and chief Satanist of the 20th Century performed a satanic ritual in the Kings Chamber. The Masonic founded and controlled cults of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons have also adored the Great Pyramid.

  First of all I will interpret the Latin words on the seal. 'Annuit Coeptis' means 'Announcing The Birth Of' and 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' means 'New World Order'. So therefore it says 'Announcing the birth of the New World Order'. The date in roman numerals is 1776, the year the modern Illuminati was formed and also the year of American independence. The Latin 'E Pluribus Unum' means 'One out of many' which is the foundation of the New World Order's plan to unify the world's governments, religions and money systems into one so the world can be controlled.

  The capstone has not come down on the Pyramid. This means that the plan is not complete. Only when the New World Order is established upon all nations and the world leader is enthroned the plan will be complete. On the obverse is an eagle whose dexter wing has thirty- two feathers, the number of ordinary degrees in Scottish Rite Freemasonry. The sinister wing has thirty-three feathers, the additional feather corresponding to the Thirty-Third Degree of the Scottish Rite conferred for outstanding Masonic service. The tail feathers number nine, the number of degrees in the Chapter, Council, and Commandery of the York Rite of Freemasonry. Notice the stars above the eagle's head forms a hexagram the most evil of all witchcraft symbols.

  The Serpent promised Adam and Eve that their eyes would "be opened" if they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The key word in this passage is eyes, which in Hebrew can be translated "knowledge." Opened can be translated "broadened." What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve was that knowledge would be broadened if they ate of the forbidden fruit.

  But the most foreboding aspect of this scripture emerges from the fact that the Hebrew word for "eyes" is not plural, but singular. What the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve was that their "eye" would be broadened by knowledge.

  The "eye" that Scripture wants us to consider is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or the soul. This singular "eye" is called the "third eye" of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry. (John Daniel, Scarlet and the Beast , Vol. III, pp. 6-7)

  The all-seeing eye is the elite's favorite symbol. It represents the eye of Lucifer seeing all and is usually atop a pyramid, the symbol for a top-down command and control system of compartmentalization.

  "Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explainations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be mislead... page 104-105 The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended he shall imagine he understands them." page 819

  Commentary:

  This paragraph in red sounds a lot like WTS speak. "those who deserve to be misled" similar teacing in theocratic warfare..."those who do not deserve to know the truth"

  "false interpretations"

  It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended he shall imagine he understands them." page 819

  Isn't that how you feel at book study and at the Hall?

  The Masonic founded and controlled cults of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons have also adored the Great Pyramid.

  This piece is copied verbatim. However, this is not substantial documentation to me. I am still searching for something more concrete than a statement without a footnote for source!

  A little background information on Freemasonry for those who have no idea what it is about:

  Abstract:

  Many who participate in Freemasonry are initially confused by what they see and hear. They believe that Freemasonry requires a belief in God as a condition of membership. They attempt to interpret lodge teachings, including Masonic teachings about the nature of the Masonic god, through a Christian paradigm. If a man understands the nature of God as revealed in the Scriptures and the nature of false gods as revealed in the teachings of pagan religions, he will have the basic information to know that the god of Freemasonry is not the God of the Bible. Freemasonry teaches that all pagan gods are the same Spirit as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

  Many men who are recruited, or encouraged to petition the Masonic Lodge for membership, join Freemasonry with the belief that participation is consistent with a sincere expression of faith in Jesus Christ. That is all the more likely to be the case when the potential member is recruited from within the church by other church members. If a man knows that the pastor or another church leader is a Lodge member, Freemasonry is effectively endorsed by church leadership. If it were not compatible with Christianity, the pastor wouldn’t be involved, he may reason. When he goes into the Lodge, he will likely view what he sees through Christian glasses, or through a Christian paradigm. Many men mistakenly believe that Freemasonry is a Christian organization because they are misled by their Christian paradigm. They have no appropriate paradigm which allows them to accurately understand Freemasonry.

  A paradigm is a model of reality. All of us have paradigms whether we realize it or not. We interpret literally everything we see through one or more of our paradigms. Paradigms often dictate how we are able to view something. If we do not understand how an inappropriate paradigm can confuse our understanding, we are easily misled.

  A great many of the Masons who claim to be Christians are confused about the true nature of Freemasonry because they are misled by their paradigms. When a man who is a Christian petitions for Lodge membership, he is investigated. The investigating committee will ask him a series of questions. They may ask his neighbors and others who know him about his character . The mere fact that he is investigated will cause him to believe that Freemasonry is very particular about the character and beliefs of the men who are admitted for membership. The process of investigation may cause him to view Freemasonry all the more favorably because everyone is not accepted. One of the questions which is always asked is, "Do you have faith in the existence of A Supreme Being?"

  (Commentary: Doesn't this sound like the ONE BIG QUESTION it all comes down to with the WTS? DO YOU BELIEVE THIS IS GOD'S SPIRIT DIRECTED ORGANIZATION? Is that how they word it?)

  Most Christians, without giving it a second thought, will interpret this question as "Do you have faith in God?" Many Masons actually believe that a man must have faith in God to be a Mason. Some believe that a man must be a Christian to be admitted, yet the Jewish Mason knows better. Does Freemasonry actually require faith in God? Your answer to that question will likely be determined based upon your understanding of the phrase "A Supreme Being." That understanding may be the result of the use of a paradigm which models God as the only Supreme Being.

  Scripture states the crucial importance of knowing Jesus. A person cannot come to the Father, except through Him:

  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

  (John 14:6)

  (Commentary: Doesn't the FDS trump Jesus?)

  The Mormon Paradigm

  The Mormon is able to answer affirmatively, that he has faith in the existence of "A Supreme Being," as he has faith in the Mormon god Elohim. Mormons believe that Elohim was once a man who lived on a planet near a star named Kolob. Elohim did not create the planet, the star named Kolob, or anything else on the planet upon which he was born. Elohim was simply a man. As part of his salvation experience, Elohim was exalted into Godhood and given a planet (Earth) to populate with spirit children produced through celestial sex with his goddess wives. The first born of these spirit children was the Mormon Jesus. Lucifer is another of Elohim’s spirit children, making Jesus and Lucifer brothers, according to Mormon doctrine. Mormons claim faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but they do not believe that these are three personalities of the same Spirit. Mormonism teaches that the Father and the Son both have physical bodies. It teaches that the Holy Ghost is a "personage of Spirit" and does not have a body of flesh and bones like the Father and the Son. Mormons do not believe in the Trinitarian God.

  How is Freemasonry able to accept these different, incompatible concepts of God as expressions of faith in the existence of A (SINGULAR) Supreme Being? Freemasonry is able to do this essentially because the Masonic paradigm of God holds that all men worship the same God, simply using a variety of different names. Somewhat like Hinduism, Freemasonry holds that all of the various gods, along with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are all in essence the same God, viewed from the different vantage points of the many world religions. Freemasonry rejects the concept of a false god, as well as the concept of false religion. These Masonic teachings are clearly explained in Masonic Monitors, Masonic Code and other Masonic materials published by the authorities of Freemasonry, the Grand Lodges. Consider the follow excerpts:

  Freemasons offer prayer to a god who is known as the Great Architect of the Universe (GAOTU.) Freemasonry defines the nature of the GAOTU with adherence to the Fatherhood of God, Brotherhood of man doctrine. The GAOTU is implicitly defined as Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Allah, the Mormon Elohim, Ahura Mazdah, Baal, Molech and all other false gods which have ever been named by man. When Freemasonry causes pagans to join in prayer to the GAOTU, are they then worshiping the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? No, they are still worshiping demons, as would be any Christian who would join with them. Participation in Freemasonry ensnares a man in idolatry.

  John clearly explained how to recognize the heresies of the Gnostics:

  Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

  (1 John 4:1-3)

  We should recognize the spirit behind Freemasonry for what it is. Freemasonry does not confess Jesus. Second, simply preaching the Gospel will not keep church members from becoming ensnared in paganism. Proof of this is present within many churches and often within leadership. Many church members are Masons and members of other pagan fraternal orders, such as the Elks, Eagles, Moose, Odd Fellows, etc. If all church members understood the Masonic paradigm, they would be able to instantly recognize the same heresy when it is taught in other fraternal orders. Freemasonry is the archetype for virtually all other fraternal orders.

  (Commentary: I have noticed since the "Follow the Christ" pamphlet, that the WTS has reduced Jesus to a position or title. This seems rather insulting, like refering to him as "the janitor", "the bagboy", whatever. It's like he doesn't rate a name. A second class citizen. For a group that puts such emphasis on using God's name...why would they deny his son's name? Is it because their anonymous and ambiguous "FDS" rates more importance? )

  A Bridge to Light, pp 251-2

  The drawing of the dualistic Masonic god, with the serpent devouring his own tail is shown on page 252 .

  The following explanation is provided: “There is a Life-Principle of the world, a universal agent, wherein are two natures and a double current, of love and wrath. . . . It is a ray detached from the glory of the Sun, . . . It is the body of the Holy Spirit, the universal Agent, the Serpent devouring his own tail (p.734).” A Bridge to Light, page 253 (Ellipses in the original. They quote from an earlier Supreme Council work, Morals and Dogma, by Pike.)

  Masonic teaching methods

  The authoritative teachings of Freemasonry are conveyed in several ways. The primary authoritative Masonic teaching method is ritual. Freemasons are usually unwilling to reveal the contents of ritual to non-Masons. The words in Masonic ritual are controlled very closely by the Grand Lodge in whose jurisdiction the ritual is performed. Masonic ritual is always performed behind closed doors, with a guard called a tyler, standing on the outside of the lodge room. Only those who have proven themselves to be Masons and those who are being initiated into the degrees of Freemasonry are allowed entrance.

  Another primary authoritative Masonic teaching method is through small books which are given to men when they are "raised" to the degree of Master Mason. These small books are known as "monitors." They are published, or authorized, by the Grand Lodges for distribution in the lodges in their jurisdiction.

  (Commentary: This sounds a lot like what ex-JWs go through...)

  Christians do not remain Masons

  Because most Christians do not know about Freemasonry, some are led to join a Masonic Lodge. After they join and become active in Freemasonry, they begin to understand what is being taught in Masonic ritual. Christians who think about the meaning of the words in ritual end up leaving Freemasonry. Many go quietly, because of fear. Others are under so much spiritual bondage, as a result of being involved in the occultic religion of Freemasonry, that they remain somewhat dysfunctional as Christians.

  (Commentary: Look what happened to their printers shop.... I guess they were certainly in the market for a printer

  Men, who have left the Masonic Lodge after coming to understand what Masonic ritual teaches, have sometimes felt compelled to reveal the contents of Masonic ritual to the public. Many are reluctant to do so because of Masonic history. During the early 19th century, Capt. William Morgan worked with a printer named Miller to publish the rituals, as practiced in New York. The printers shop was set ablaze and Morgan was abducted and murdered. As his body was never recovered, there was no conviction for murder. However, several Masons were convicted of his abduction. Even through intimidation and persecution can be intense for those who reveal the "secrets" of Freemasonry, exposures of Masonic ritual have continued since 1727, ten years after the founding of the Grand Lodge of England. Exposures of Masonic ritual have continued for more than two centuries for several reasons. The most compelling reason is so that other men will not be ensnared in Freemasonry. Christians who become ensnared in Freemasonry sooner or later realize that Masonic ritual teaches a plan of salvation which is not based on faith in Jesus Christ

  (Commentary: Directed to read their literature only? )

  Since Grand Lodges stress the importance of a Masonic education, and they recommend reading Masonic publications as the most effective means, we will take a look at Masonic literature and expose some of "the deeper things of the craft." Beginning with Grand Lodge documents, we will establish the connections between Freemasonry and Lucifer. The Mason who reads Masonic literature could uncover the connections as easily as we have.

  (commentary: to rule as kings and princes? Seek more light? This jargon sounds familiar)

  The Order of Freemasonry holds high membership standards but membership in the Order is so compelling that even when a member is forcibly ejected under sentence of expulsion, the disgraced former-member may use his knowledge of the Order

  Enochian Tarot "The Enochian Tarot" acts as a companion book to the Enochian Tarot deck, bringing new light to the melding of Tarot and Enochian Magic. The Enochian Magical system is complex at best - the Schueler's bring a sense of grounding and centering to these ethereal Watchtowers and Aethyrs., making them easier to understand and to use.

  I merely discovered a triangle in the WTS publications . Now thats all anyone wants to talk about. I simply presented some factual findings. I don't want to implicate the Masons or any other Society (other than WTS) in any of this - even if Russell was a Mason.
