Columbus Day: 5 Things You Didn’t Know



Oct 10, 2011 11:24am


As today’s Columbus Day celebrations begin, marking Columbus’ 1492 arrival in the New World, here are some little-known facts about the explorer celebrated by Italian-Americans across the United States.

1. When the Columbus Day Holiday Began

In the U.S., it’s sometimes reported that the national holiday began in 1971, but that’s actually the date when Congress changed Columbus Day to the second Monday of October. In reality, Columbus Day became a national holiday much earlier, in 1937. At that time, President Franklin Roosevelt declared the holiday would take place on Oct. 12 (the date Columbus first landed in the Bahamas). But the first known Columbus Day celebration in the U.S. took place in New York City in 1792, long before it became a national holiday.

2. Columbus’ Journal Was Intended for an Audience

When historians examine primary sources from Columbus’ voyages, they aren’t reading private diaries. They’re evaluating correspondence intended for the explorer’s sponsors, those he refers to as the “Most Christian, High, Excellent, and Powerful Princes, King and Queen of Spain.” In that sense, it’s entirely possible that these journals were embellished, with some facts manipulated in Columbus’ favor.

3. Columbus’ Bones Are Still Shrouded in Mystery

It’s still unclear where Columbus’ bones were finally laid to rest.

When Columbus died in 1506 his remains were taken to a family mausoleum in Seville, Spain. But nearly 40 years later his son requested that the remains be placed in the Cathedral of Santo Domingo in the capital of the Dominican Republic, where he intended to be buried. In the late 1700s the bones moved to Cuba, and 100 year later they returned to Seville. But in 1877 bones marked as those of Columbus were found by cathedral workers in the Dominican Republic. Those bones have since been interred in the Columbus Lighthouse in Santo Domingo.

In 2006, the year of the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ death, a forensic team found DNA from bones buried in a cathedral in Seville matched the DNA from Columbus’ brother, Diego. But at the time, the director of the Columbus Lighthouse insisted Columbus’ remains had never left the Dominican Republic.

4. Pope Rejected Bid for Columbus’ Sainthood

In 1882 the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men’s fraternity, supported Italian Americans who rallied for Columbus to be recognized as a saint because they said he had brought Christianity to the Indians. Pope Leo XIII, however, rejected that request because Columbus had an illegitimate son with Beatriz Enríquez de Harana, his mistress.

5. Columbus Brought Citrus to the New World

The history books note Columbus forcibly scored a lot of loot from the islands he visited, making off with gold, parrots, spices, and human captives from Haiti, an island he later named Hispaniola. The “riches” pleased his Spanish sponsors, King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I, who were funding the voyage. During the process, Columbus also carried European items to the New World. In 1493, the year of Columbus’s second voyage, he brought citrus fruit seeds to the West Indies and the trees ended up in the West Indies, Mexico, and Florida.

Bizarre baby names: banned in New Zealand

by Laurel Miller (RSS feed) on Jul 21st 2011 at 2:00PM
banned baby namesThe spawn of Hollywood celebrities will probably want to avoid giving birth in New Zealand in the future. The annoying trend of bequeathing ridiculous names to one's offspring will no longer be tolerated in the island nation, according to CNN.

The country's Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages is banning "weird" baby names: the current list includes Lucifer, Duke, Messiah, and 89 (let's hope that's not his/her birth order). Bishop, Baron, General, Judge, King, Knight, and Mr. were said to be too similar to titles. And letters such as C, D, I, and T and names involving punctuation marks? Nope.

In 2008, New Zealand's names registrar approved non-traditional names (there's a set of twins out there named Benson and Hedges). Apparently, circumstances or places of conception were also cool as namesakes. Hence, Violence and Number 16 Bus Shelter. But now there's an end to the madness, and hopefully New Zealand will once again become a nation of Liam's and Chloe's.

Fortunately, Sweden (sorry, Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, pronounced Albin) and the Dominican Republic are getting on board with banning idiotic baby names. In 2007, a Dominican judge banned "Tonton" (Dummy) Ruiz, but only because it was confusing and/or gave no indication of gender.

I'm all for foreign or original baby names (despite to this day being called "Laura/Lauren/Nora/Floral/Coral" on a daily basis). But doesn't it constitute a form of child abuse when you stick your kid with a handle guaranteed to inspire butt-kicking on the playground? You'd better learn taekwando, Bronx Mowgli Wentz.

FREEMASONRY PROVEN TO WORSHIP SATAN,..

FREEMASONRY PROVEN TO WORSHIP SATAN, AS ITS SYMBOLS VENERATE THE SEX

ACT -- STUDY OF SYMBOLS PART 5


Most of the article on Freemasonry below has been taken from Masonic books that have been published by Masonic Publishing Companies, and most of them were formerly very, very secret. We further have taken the Biblical admonition carefully, comparing Masonic teachings to the Holy Bible. In 1 John 4:1, we see this command to all Christians: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Thus we see that any religious teaching that does not conform to Scripture is from a "false prophet".

Subtitle: Masonry depicts and glorifies the sex act in many of their symbols, just like you would expect any occult group to do. A study of the "deeper meaning" of many symbols proves Freemasonry is Satanic.

This exercise is not an empty one, for your eternal, precious soul is at stake. Finally, remember two things about Masonry: 1) Superior Masons deliberately lie to their fellow Masons, as those Masons "deserve to be mislead"; 2) Explanations given to 95% of all Masons are wrong. Listen to this quote from a Masonic author, Carl Claudy: "Cut through the outer shell and find a meaning; cut through that meaning and find another; under it, if you dig deep enough, you may find a third, a fourth -- who shall say how many teachings?" You have been lied to, as we demonstrate in our many articles. Finally, remember Albert Pike's bold assertion in Morals & Dogma, that "Masonry is identical to the ancient Mysteries ", which means that all their teachings in all their books are precisely the same as the Ancient, Pagan, Satanic Mysteries!

Please, we implore you, take the time to read our articles so you may finally know the Truth of Jesus Christ, the God of the Universe which Masons contemptuously call an "inferior god", and Whom they never, ever mention in their teachings or their rituals. We fervently pray that the Holy Spirit willillumine your mind, heart, and soul with the knowledge of the true God, and only the true God, of the Holy Bible.

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul gave mankind the perfect definition of the word, pagan. In Romans 1:25, the Apostle Paul said a pagan is someone "who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed for ever. Amen." I have been amazed, over these many years, how accurate this simple statement has been. Truly, the paganist worships the creature rather than the wonderful, wise, and infinitely good Creator God. Pagans have worshipped animals, insects, birds, rivers, forests, trees, and many other things, but they all share one type of worship in common: they worship the sex act between man and woman, and they worship both the male penis and the woman's vulva. In fact, as I read their explanations for these symbols, I am amazed at the creativity they demonstrate in assigning sexual connotations to many of their symbols.

Freemasons do this very thing; however, they differ from the Satanist in that they hide much of the sexual content in many of their symbols. We quoted Carl Claudy, above, as he says that Masonry has layers upon layers of meanings for the very same symbol, and you have to just keep digging until you get them all. You will be shocked to know that sexual connotations have been assigned to many of the symbols that are most commonly used in the Fraternity, and for which other, meanings [completely non-sexual] have been taught to the lower level Mason. Please be prepared to be shocked.

SEXUAL CONNOTATIONS TO MASONIC SYMBOLS

SEX IN THE "G"

The letter "G" figures prominently in Freemasonry. In the lower degrees, the initiate is told that this letter stands for "God" and for "Geometry", which the Supreme Architect of the Universe used to design this wonderful Cosmos. However, occultist, and 33rd Degree Mason, Arthur Waite, quotes Eliphas Levi [also 33rd Degree], telling us that the letter "G" stands for Venus, and that Venus' symbol is a lingam, a stylized phallis. [Masonic author, Arthur Edward Waite, The Mysteries of Magic: A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi , Chicago, , DeLaurence, Scott, and Company, 1909, p. 217]

The greatest Masonic author of all time, Albert Pike, agrees. He states [page 631-32 in Morals and Dogma ] that the Monad [#1] is male, and the Duad [#2] is female. Their sexual union produces the Triad [#3], which is "represented by the letter 'G', the generative principle". This term, "generative principle", is code for the sex act.

SEX ACT IN COLUMNS -- BROKEN AND UNBROKEN

Virgin_Master.JPG5

Both Freemasonry and the Eastern Star utilize the broken column, a symbol which contains many levels of meanings. The initiate is told that the broken column signifies an early death. Later on, the Mason learns that columns represent gods [Joseph Fort Newton, The Builders: A Story and Study of Masonry , Cedar Rapids, Iowa, The Torch Press, 1914, p. 9].

However, later on, the Mason learns a different, hidden meaning for the broken column. "In Egyptian Mythology, Isis is sometimes pictured weeping over the broken column, which conceals the body of her husband, Osiris, while behind her stands Horus, or Time, pouring ambrosia over her hair." Isis was both virgin and mother, so the 'beautiful virgin is Isis weeping. The broken column is the missing member of Osiris, the Phallus. [Short Talk Bulletin, "The Broken Column", Feb, 1956, p. 6-7; also Edmond Ronayne, The Master's Carpet (Mah-Hah-Bone), 1879, p. 387-88, and several other Masonic authors]

You can see Isis weeping over the broken column, while Horus, or Time, is standing behind her. Horus is proven to be another name for Satan, and Isis is the consort of Lucifer. What is Isis weeping over? She has just lost her husband, Osiris, whose body was dismembered, including his penis, which had been cut into many sections. Albert Pike wrote about Isis and Osiris, saying they were "the Active and Passive Principles of the Universe ... commonly symbolized by the generative parts of man and woman ..." [Morals and Dogma , p. 401]

In seeing how a broken column could represent both the male and female part, you must focus on the bottom, not the top. The bottom of the column shows the phallic upright column inserted into the circular base, which is the symbol of the female vulva. The column is broken, of course, to symbolize the belief that Osiris' penis had been cut into many sections.

But Albert Mackey, 33 Degree Masonic author, states that the regular column is a phallus symbol. "The Phallus was an imitation of the male generative organ. It was represented usually by a column, was was surrounded by a circle at the base. [Mackey, A Manual of the Lodge, 1870, p. 56. Mackey also stated this in The Symbolism of Freemasonry , p. 60] A little later on, we show you the obelisk within the circle, but for right now, let us go to the female symbol, the circle.

SEX IN THE POINT WITHIN A CIRCLE

Circle_With_Dot.JPG

The point and the circle carries a sexual connotation. How can this be, you might ask? If you have to ask that question, you do not have the mind and heart of a pagan. One Masonic author states that this symbol is used in Sun Worship, and then says: "The female principle, symbolized by the moon, assumed the form of a lunette [small circular opening], or crescent, while the male principle, symbolized by the sun, assumed the form of the lingam [Phallus] and placed himself erect in the center of the lunette, like the mast of a ship." ["Point Within A Circle", Short Talk Bulletin , August, 1931, Masonic Bulletin designed to read within the Lodges, p. 4]

SEX IN THE OBELISK WITHIN A CIRCLE


When the Satanist wants to depict the female sexual organ, he commonly uses the circle. In this case, we are showing a type of circle that Satanists really love to use, called the "8-Step Path of Enlightenment". Satanists believe that a person needs to go through 8 separate steps to become fully enlightened spiritually. The eighth and final step is the Sex Act. Notice that the very center of this symbol is a very small circle. This symbol is the ultimate female sexual representation.

Now consider the obelisk, depicted here by the Washington Monument , probably the most famous of all the obelisks in the world. Satanists believe that the spirit of the Egyptian Sun God, Ra, resides within the obelisk, and they pray to it daily three times daily, if possible, and facing East. The obelisk is the most recognized of all phallic symbols.

When the obelisk is depicted within a circle, the Satanists are depicting the sex act between male and female. In Washington, D.C., the Washington Monument is sitting within a circle. Freemasonry planned, designed, and created the Washington Monument. The obelisk is greatly revered in Masonry, as a quick tour of any cemetery in New England will tell you. You can immediately tell which graves are Masonic by the obelisks as their headstone; now, not all Masons choose the obelisk as their headstone, but I have never seen a person who was not a Mason choose an obelisk as their headstone.

You are looking at the most famous of the great public depictions of the sex act in the world. This obelisk sitting in a Satanic 8-Fold Path Of Enlightenment Circle is in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the Vatican. I have always been amazed that the institution which so ardently and consistently preaches celibacy for its priests is the one that has the world's most famous Satanic depiction of the sex act. You should immediately recognize that the reason this situation exists is because, right under the glitter of all the Christian names and words, is a Satanism just as deep and just a pervasive as any other in history. You can see this Satanism also by the Satanic Crucifix of Antichrist that Pope John Paul II holds in front of the devoted Roman Catholics every day. You can see a write-up on this crucifix by clicking to "What Saith Rome?" section off our home page.

SEX IN THE TRIANGLE AND HEXAGRAM

Masonic author, R.H. MacKenzie, states that "among Egyptians, the base [of the triangle] represented Osiris, or the Male Principle; the perpendicular, Isis, or the Female Principle; and the hypotenuse, Horus, their son ..." [Kenneth R.H. MacKenzie, The Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia of History, Rites, Symbolism, and Biography , New York, J.W. Bouton, 1877, p. 743] Thus, you can see that the hypotenuse was conceived as a result of the sexual union of the base and the perpendicular. Within Masonic symbolism, the sex act is portrayed as the union of the perpendicular and the base.

We have pictured the triangle, above, with the symbol of the Tau within. Masonic author, R. Swinburne Clymer typifies Masonic symbolism of the Tau when he states, "The Phallus, or Lingam, and the Yoni, the male and female emblems of generation, are found in the triangle and the tau." [Clymer, The Mysteries of Osiris or Ancient Egyptian Initiation, Quakertown, PA, The Philosophical Publishing Company, 1951, p. 131]

Masonic author, Albert Mackey, tells us of the sexual connotation of this hexagram. "The triangle pointing downward "is a female symbol corresponding to the yoni and the upward pointing triangle is the male, the lingam ... When the two triangles are interlaced, it represents the union of the active and passive forces in nature; it represents the male and female elements." [Mackey, The Symbolism of Freemasonry, 1869, p. 195, 219, 361; also Albert Pike,Morals and Dogma, 1871, p. 13; also Wes Cook, Editor, Did You Know? Vignettes in Masonry from the Royal Arch Mason Magazine , Missouri Lodge For Research, 1965, p. 132]

To the Mason, the interlacing triangles of the hexagram depict sexual intercourse. This symbolism is pure, Ancient Satanism, period, end of paragraph.

THE YIN/YANG SYMBOL

Yin and Yang is one of the most commonly used symbols today, including logos of many organizations and companies. "Yin and yang are considered to be opposites. Yin represents eternity, dark, feminine, left side of the body, etc. Yang is its opposite, and represents history, light, masculine, right side of the body, etc." [Philip G. Zimbardo and Floyd L. Ruch, Psychology and Life , 1977, Ninth Edition, p. 317]

"Yang is male, positive, and represented by the Sun. Yin is female, negative, and represented by the moon." {Paul E. Desautels, The Gem Kingdom , p. 237.]

The symbol itself dates back at least to the fourth century, B.C., and has been identified with the Eastern philosophical religions of Confucianism, Buddhim, and Taoism. In the Western world, it has long been adopted into the symbolism of myth, magic, astrology and witchcraft." [Claire Chambers, The SIECUS Circle: A Humanist Revolution , 1977, p. v]

"Another ancient magical sign called the yin-and-yang first appeared sometime before the 3rd century, B.C., in China. This emblem became the favorite of SORCERERS and mystics throughout the Orient because it, too, embodies so many possible meanings." [Gary Jennings, Black Magic, White Magic , The Dial Press, 1964, p. 50; Emphasis in original]

Does Freemasonry adopt and use the symbolism of Yin/Yang? Indeed, they do, but in a way as to hide the meaning form the "profane". Listen to Albert Pike. The black and white pavement symbolizes "the Good and Evil, principles of the Egyptian and Persian creed. It is the warfare of Michael and Satan ... light and shadow, which is darkness; Day and Night, Freedom and Despotism ... [Morals and Dogma , p. 14]

"Masons also use the two triangles to represent this idea of opposites. In Short Talk Bulletin, a pamphlet which is to be read in the Lodges, we are told that the triangles are symbolic of good and evil, day and night, the Chinese Yang and Yin ..." [Dr. C. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, quoting Masonic publication, Short Talk Bulletin, "The Significant Numbers", September, 1956, Vol. 34, No. 9, p. 5; also Wes Cook, Did You Know? Vignettes In Masonry from the Royal Arch Mason Magazine, Missouri Lodge of Research, 1965, p. 34]

I had always wondered about the distinctive black and white squares on Masonic floors, as depicted on Washington's apron, above. Now we know they represent the extremely Satanic concept of Yin and Yang, the "favorite of sorcerers". Masons also use two triangles joined together to represent Yin and Yang. Therefore, their depiction of the Hexagram also depicts Yin and Yang. We have described the sexual connotation to the Mason of the Hexagram, above.

However, Masonry also teaches standard Satanic lore about the Yin and Yang symbol. Listen: "Thus the monad [#1] and the duad [#2] were the phallus and kteis of the Greeks, the lingam and yoni of the Hindoos (sic) ... and the Yang and Yin of the Chinese ..." [George Oliver, The Historical Landmarks and Other Evidences of Freemasonry , New York, John W. Leonard and Company, 1855, p. 118]

The Yin and Yang symbol is also used to represent bisexuality and homosexuality within today's New Age Movement. It is also used to depict Divination. [Dr. C. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, p. 19-22] Do not be deceived: Freemasonry depicts Yin and Yang a little differently than a traditional New Age, or occultist, or Satanist. They use the hexagram and the black and white tile floors; but, their belief in Yin and Yang is identical to the Satanist Mysteries. But, why should we be surprised, for Albert Pike told us that Freemasonry is "identical to the Mysteries."

MASONIC EMBLEM OF SQUARE AND COMPASS DEPICTING SEX

Masonic authors boldly state that the symbolism of the traditional square and compass of Freemasonry represents the heterosexual sex act. Listen to Albert Pike explaining this fact to members of the 32nd Degree. "The Compass, therefore, is the Hermetic Symbol of the Creative Deity, and the Square of the productive Earth or Universe." [Morals and Dogma , p. 850-1]. Therefore, the Masons look at the compass as the male phallus and the square as the female vulva. As you look at the Masonic Emblem here, you can see the obvious penetration of the female square point by the points of the Compass. One point of difference here is that the Satanist generally reverses the sex roles of the Compass and the Square. However, whichever way you look at it, the Compass and the Square are thought of as depicting the heterosexual sex act.

A MOST EVIL SYMBOL

Before we leave the subject of the Masonic Emblem of the Square and Compass, I want to show you a particularly evil symbol depicting the Square and Compass.

This scene depicts several unmistakable Satanic images, tied in with the Masonic Emblem, also known as the Square and Compass. First, note the hexagram to the far left of the picture. Remember, the hexagram is the most evil of all Black Magick symbols. Witches have used it for years to cast curses on people; many people in the past few thousand years have died by having a hex placed on them. Second, notice theSun over head in this picture. Just as the Egyptians did in the days when God cursed them and their religion, Freemasons worship the Sun in general and the Egyptian Sun God, Ra, particularly. Finally, note that the sharp end of the square is driving deeply into the Holy Bible beneath. As Christian author, Ralph Epperson proves in his book, Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity , the #1 top secret of Masonry is not that they worship Satan/Lucifer; rather, the #1 secret of Freemasonry is that they plan to eradicate Christianity in complete fulfillment of End Time prophecies! This symbol captures this goal perfectly. [This symbol was found on a Freemason Web Site, http://167.217.91.135/graphics/page17.htm]

SEX IN MASONIC TEMPLE -- AND THE POMEGRANATE

"The lodge is a representation of King Solomon's Temple and the Temple was calculated to symbolize the maternal human body, wherein the candidate must enter to be born again . The uterus and vagina represent the porch of the Temple, the pillars of the porch represent the fallopian tubes, the network, the broad ligament with its accompanying blood vessels ... and the pomegranate, the ovary and its exuberant seeds, the ova cells." [Rollin C. Blackmer, The Lodge and the Craft: A Practical Explanation of the Work of Freemasonry, St. Louis, The Standard Masonic Publishing Company, 1923, p. 249; Emphasis added]

First, this reference to being "Born Again" is not only NOT Biblical, it is blasphemous AND Satanic. Satanists have always tried to teach a counterfeit Born Again experience. As an occult initiate goes through his Initiation Ritual, when he is pulled back to his feet, usually out of a coffin, he is said to now be Born Again . Notice that Freemasons teach that a person is born again through the Masonic Temple, with no mention ever being made of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

Secondly, the Masonic depiction of the pomegranate is sexually explicit in the extreme. In order to convince you of the paganism of Freemasonry, I am going to depict it, below. You can see the way they have split the pomegranate, they have depicted a woman's sexual organ and both her legs. [We will have the occult symbol of the pomegranate up here soon, so you can see how they have twisted something so simple as a pomegranate into depicting sex]

I find it highly pagan to realize the obsession Masons have about sex, when they depict it in so many of their symbols and even in their own Lodge. Can you imagine a Mason thinking about entering a woman's vagina as he goes through the porch of the Masonic Temple? Unbelievable!

THE TORCH AND STATUE OF LIBERTY

Satanists have always equated the flaming torch as a symbol of Lucifer. "Lucifer, having regained his star and his diadem, will assemble his legions for new works of creation. Attracted by his flaming torch, celestial spirits will descend ... and he will send these messengers from unknown spheres to earth. Then, the torch of Lucifer will signal 'From Heaven to Earth!' -- and the (New Age) Christ will answer, 'From Earth to Heaven'." [Occultist Edourd Schure, quoted by Texe Marrs, Mystery Mark of the New Age , p. 240]

This explanation of the symbolism of the torch is the Luciferian belief that, at the Battle of Armageddon, Lucifer and his forces will defeat Jesus Christ and then conquer Heaven. Thus, the Torch signifies the belief that Lucifer will ultimately defeat Jesus Christ.

Masonic author, Manley P. Hall, 33 Degree Mason, states that "the torches represent the occult arts and sciences, the doctrines and dogmas by the light of which Truth is made visible." [Hall, Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians to Which Is Added an Interpretation of the Crata Repoa Initiation Rite , Los Angeles, The Philosophers Press, 1937, p. 122; Emphasis added]

We also find it highly interesting that one of the Masonic publishing houses is called The Torch Press .

We also know from history that the Statue of Liberty was given to us by Illuminist French Freemasons in 1876. "Towering above the shimmering but polluted waters, she holds in her outreached arm and hand a torch of fire and light. A gift of the Masonic Order, the modern inheritors of the Illuminati heritage, the Statue of Liberty was sculptured by Frederic Bartholdi, a member of the Masonic Lodge of Alsace-Lorraine in Paris, France. The statue is significant to the secret societies plotting the New World order." [Texe Marrs, Dark Majesty: The Secret Brotherhood and the Magic of a Thousand Points of Light , p. 212]

Please note that our symbol of the Statue of Liberty was the actual terra cota model constructed in 1870 by the Masonic sculptor.

In Satanism, virtually any perpendicular symbol is the phallus , so the torch certainly qualifies; indeed, one might wonder, from the explanation given, above, that the torch is Lucifer's phallus, if the occultist really believes the torch is a symbol of the god. The goddess holding the torch would provide a good female symbol. Thus, the Freemason depicts the sex act every single day of every year, in New York harbor.

SEX AND THE MASONIC GAVEL

"The gavel is an important Masonic and Eastern Star symbol." [Dr. C. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols , p326]

The first thing I noticed about the symbol of the gavels is that they were always depicted upside down. I would have thought they would have been depicted with the head of the gavel at the top. However, we are not thinking like a pagan, who worships sex in all forms, and never lets an opportunity slip by him to depict the great sex act.

Masonic author, George Oliver, says that in ancient times, the gavel referred to the hammer of the God Thor. [Oliver, Signs and Symbols, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., 1906, p. 14]. We know that Thor is an ancient pagan god, one whom Freemasons worship. In fact, Thor is part of the pagan Trinity in Scandinavia [Pike, Morals and Dogma, p. 552; also W.L. Wilmshurst, The Masonic Initiation , Trismegistus Press, 1980, p. 92]

However, Albert Pike makes identification of Thor very easy for us, as he states, on page 15 of Morals and Dogma, that Thor is another name for Sirius, the Blazing Star or the Pentagram. Now you can see why this Masonic Web Site depicted three different types of gavels in the familiar pentagram, above right. However, on page 381, Pike also tells us that Thor WAS the Sun, the Egyptian Osiris, and Kneph, the Phoenician Bel or Baal. The Bible tells us that worshipping Baal is identical to worshipping the Devil [1 Kings 16:30-33, 22:53; 2 Kings 17:16] God condemned Baal worship, slaughtered the priests of Baal , and finally abolished it altogether in Israel. Yet, here, Freemasonry boldly states that they revere him.

But, let us get back to the subject at hand, i.e., sexual connotations of Masonic symbols. Masonic author, J.S.M. Ward states, "Thus we see that the hammer or gavel, and the Tau, were originally the same, and this is a natural evolution of symbols, for the Tau Cross is evolved from the Phallus, and that is the symbol of God the Creator ..." [Ward, Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods , 1921, p. 238]

I find it highly interesting to see the Masonic authors admit they worship the creature rather than the Creator [Romans 1:25] because it shreds their flimsy claim to be Christian into a billion bits. In this sentence, we see utter blasphemy against God. Here, Masonic author, Ward, states that the Phallus is a symbol of God the Creator ! In His 10 Commandments, God made it very plain that He did not want man representing him by any created means in the entire world. In Exodus 20, we see God going through quite a list of the symbols by which He did not want man representing Him. Even though He did not list the Phallus, I am absolutely certain God would not want man thinking of Him as a Phallus!

However, Ward is not finished with this subject yet, and in going on, he answered my question, above, as to why the gavel is always represented upside down, not up. "But this is not the only place where the tau cross occurs. The ... gavels are all T-crosses, and combine in one symbol the hammer, the sign of the rule, and the T-cross, the symbol of the male or creative side of the Deity; and, lest there should be any mistake, the T is placed on the apron of the Master of the Lodge, though placed upside down so as to give the symbol of the square, and also to emphasize its phallic meaning." [Ibid.; Emphasis added]

When we were discussing the Triangle and the Hexagram, above, we displayed a Tau Cross [T-Cross] within a triangle and circle. We encourage you to refer to it now. The Tau-Cross was originally created to worship the Babylonian god, Tammuz , a worship highly condemned in the Bible. Thus, once again, we can see that Freemasonry is always lining up against God of the Bible, and for Satan of Paganism, even though their propaganda machine continues to churn out the opposite claim that they are Christian.

SEX AT THE END OF THE MASONIC RAINBOW

Masonic author, George Oliver states, "It is remarkable that in all the ancient systems of mythology, the Great Father, or the Male Generative Principle [Phallus] was uniformly symbolized by a point within a circle. This emblem was placed by the Scandinavian priests and poets on the central summit of a rainbow, which was fabled to be a bridge leading from earth [Female Vulva] to heaven [Great Father's Phallus]." [Oliver, Signs and Symbols , Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., p. 14; also R. Swinburne, The Mysteries of Osiris or Ancient Egyptian Initiation, p. 185]

A Christian author explains this somewhat obscure statement, above, on the sexual symbology of the Rainbow. "In the ancient Jewish Kabbala ... mystical rabbis taught that the rainbow symbolized a sexual rite. The bow of the rainbow was supposedly the phallus of the male god which descended into the kingdom of the womb, the queen or goddess. The union was said to create immense divine powers." [Texe Marrs, Mystery Mark of the New Age , p. 97]

SEX IN THE CROSS AND THE CROWN

Most Christians would have no trouble accepting the Cross and the Crown symbol here. After all, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ received His Crown in Heaven after He suffered the agony of the Cross. However, Freemasons have just a little bit more on their minds than this; they have a whole lot of sex on their brains.

In the Masonic Report, we make this discovery: Question: What does Masonry's emblem of the 'Cross and Crown' actually symbolize?" Answer: "The 'Cross' of Freemasonry is a philosophical cross, according to Albert Pike, 'Morals and Dogma', p. 771. It is philosophical in the sense that it represents the generating fecundating principle by the perpendicular shaft [Phallus], and the matrix of womb of nature, the female producing principle[Female Vulva], by the horizontal shaft. The philosophy of the Masonic cross is totally phallic. The 'Crown' of this Masonic emblem is also phallic, it being the first emanation of the Cabalistic Sephiroth ..." [C.F. McQuaig, The Masonic Report , Norcross, Georgia, Answer Books and Tapes, 1976, p. 34]

Look what they have done to the precious Cross of Jesus Christ! How dare they take it and turn it into a phallic symbol. Furthermore, how dare they take the precious Crown of Jesus Christ and turn it into a phallic symbol? Actually, the Cross was made to be representative of the entire Sex Act -- heterosexual intercourse -- by pretending the perpendicular staff to be the phallus and the horizontal bar be the female sex organ!

One side issue that this quote settles is that this official Masonic publication, printed in contemporary times, 1976, quotes Albert Pike as an authority. We have had many emails from Masons claiming that Albert Pike had been discredited by contemporary Masonry, and even some email suggesting that a "rogue" Albert Pike wrote Morals and Dogma and Magnum Opus . We can now see that this is simply a lie designed to try to confuse.

Surely, you can now see that Freemasonry is most definitely NOT Christian. Secondly, you can see that Masonry is truly "identical to the Mysteries". In fact, one Masonic author had the boldness to state that Freemasonry was, indeed, a Mystery Religion. Listen: "In fact, the respect paid by Freemasons to this number [#3] goes far to suggest that ourmysteries have affinities not only with the Egyptian rites and ceremonies, but with those of a good many other nations." [John T. Lawrence, The Perfect Ashlar, London, England, 1912, p. 196; Boldness added]

Thank you, Mr. Lawrence, for clearing this matter up with us, and with all people everywhere who are interested in the Truth. By their own admission, Freemasonry IS a Mysteries Religion. Every Mystery Religions in all of past history have had several things in common:

1) They serve Lord Satan, most of them openly

2) They reject the One True God of the Holy Bible

3) God has brought every one of these Mystery Religions into physical judgment. Freemasonry will be no different, but will get its judgment in conjunction with Antichrist.

The sexual perversions of these Masonic symbols should go far to persuading everyone that Freemasonry is not Christian.

Re-Judaizing Jesus

By David Van Biema Thursday, Mar. 13, 2008






Illustration by Christoph Nieman for TIME

Recently a popular blogger — let's call him Rabbi Ben — zinged the scholarship of a man we shall call Rabbi Rob. R. Ben claimed R. Rob did not "understand the difference between Judaism prior to the two Jewish wars in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. and later Mishnaic and Talmudic Judaism." He helpfully provided a syllabus.

Actually, neither man is a rabbi. (Sorry.) Ben Witherington is a Methodist New Testament scholar, and Rob Bell a rising Michigan megapastor. Yet each regards sources like the Mishnah and Rabbi Akiva as vital to understanding history's best-known Jew: Jesus.

This is seismic. For centuries, the discipline of Christian "Hebraics" consisted primarily of Christians cherry-picking Jewish texts to support the traditionally assumed contradiction between the Jews — whose alleged dry legalism contributed to their fumbling their ancient tribal covenant with God — and Jesus, who personally embodied God's new covenant of love. But today seminaries across the Christian spectrum teach, as Vanderbilt University New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine says, that "if you get the [Jewish] context wrong, you will certainly get Jesus wrong."

The shift came in stages: first a brute acceptance that Jesus was born a Jew and did Jewish things; then admission that he and his interpreter Paul saw themselves as Jews even while founding what became another faith; and today, recognition of what the Rev. Bruce Chilton, author of Rabbi Jesus, calls Jesus' passionate dedication "to Jewish ideas of his day" on everything from ritual purity to the ideal of the kingdom of God — ideas he rewove but did not abandon.

What does this mean, practically? At times the resulting adjustment seems simple. For example, Bell thinks he knows the mysterious words Jesus wrote in the dust while defending the adulteress ("He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone," etc.). By Bell's calculation, that showdown occurred at the same time as religious Jews' yearly reading of the prophet Jeremiah's warning that "those who turn from [God] will be written in the dust because they have forsaken [him]." Thus Jesus wrote the crowd's names to warn that their lack of compassion alienated their (and his) God.

A trickier revision for readers involves Paul's Letter to the Romans, forever a key Christian text on sin and Christ's salvific grace. Yet this reading necessitates skipping over what seems like extraneous material in Chapters 9 through 11, which are about the Jews. Increasingly, says Jason Byassee, an editor at the Christian Century,, scholars now read Romans through those chapters, as a musing by a lifelong Jew on how God can fulfill his biblical covenant with Israel even if it does not accept His son. Byassee the theologian agrees. But as a Methodist pastor, he frets that Romans "is no longer really about Gentile Christians. How do you preach it?"

That's not a frivolous query. Ideally, the reassessment should increase both Jewish-Christian amity and gospel clarity, things that won't happen if regular Christians feel that in rediscovering Jesus the Jew, they have lost Christ. Yet Bell finds this particular genie so logically powerful that he has no wish to rebottle it. Once in, he says, "you're in deep. You're hooked. 'Cause you can't ever read it the same way again."

I did not include this article here for accuracy, but instead to illustrate a strange ever increasing trend of re-interpreting the Gospel through the prism of a Messianic perspective; Which in my opinion is a deadly mistake.
WE have not been misled in following the well worn paths of the Faith once delivered to the saints. Don't underestimate that for a minute.

Are we now to re-examine every principle of our faith because some Rabbi says so?

I have but one master, the Lord Jesus Christ, who once said:

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


Matthew 23:37-39.

Bedlam of Noise -- The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing.

The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the moving of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit never reveals itself in such methods, in such a bedlam of noise. This is an invention of Satan to cover up his ingenious methods for making of none effect the pure, sincere, elevating, ennobling, sanctifying truth for this time. Better never have the worship of God blended with music than to use musical instruments to do the work which last January was represented to me would be brought into our camp meetings. The truth for this time needs nothing of this kind in its work of converting souls. A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise, to have a carnival, and this is termed the Holy Spirit's working. . . .

No encouragement should be given to this kind of worship. The same kind of influence came in after the passing of the time in 1844. The same kind of representations were made. Men became excited, and were worked by a power thought to be the power of God.-- 2SM 36, 37.

Church Protests in Cairo Turn Deadly

European Pressphoto Agency

Coptic Christian protesters clashed with security forces in Cairo on Sunday night. More Photos »

By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Published: October 9, 2011


CAIRO — A demonstration by Christians angry about a recent attack on a church touched off a night of violent protests here against the military council now ruling Egypt, leaving 24 people dead and more than 200 wounded in the worst spasm of violence since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in February.

Witnesses said several protesters were crushed under military vehicles and the Health Ministry said that about 20 were undergoing surgery for bullet wounds.

The sectarian protest appeared to catch fire because it was aimed squarely at the military council that has ruled Egypt since the revolution, at a moment when the military’s latest delay for ceding power has led to a spike in public distrust of its authority.

When the clashes broke out, some Muslims ran into the streets to help defend the Christians against the police, while others said they had come out to help the army quell the protests in the name of stability, turning what started as a march about a church into a chaotic battle over military rule and Egypt’s future.

Nada el-Shazly, 27, who was wearing a surgical mask to deflect the tear gas, said she came out because she heard state television urge “honest Egyptians” to turn out to protect the soldiers from Christian protesters, even though she knew some of her fellow Muslims had marched with the Christians to protest the military’s continued hold on power.

“Muslims get what is happening,” she said, adding that the government was “trying to start a civil war.”

The protest took place against a backdrop of escalating tensions between Muslims and Coptic Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the population. Mr. Mubarak’s exit emboldened previously suppressed Islamists and unnerved the Christian minority. Christians had joined the pro-democracy protests in large numbers, hoping for the protections of a pluralistic, democratic state, but the surge in power of the Islamists has raised fears of how much tolerance majority rule will allow.

The most common refrain of the protests on Sunday was, “The people want to bring down the field marshal,” adapting the signature chant of the revolution to call for the resignation of the military’s top officer, Field Marshall Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.

“Muslim and Christians are one hand,” some chanted.

The military and riot police, on the other hand, appeared at some points to be working in tandem with Muslims who were lashing out at the Coptic Christians. As security forces cleared the streets around 10:00 p.m., police officers in riot gear marched back and forth through the streets of downtown alongside a swarm of hundreds of men armed with clubs and stones chanting, “The people want to bring down the Christians,” and, later, “Islamic state, Islamic state.”

“Until when are we going to live in this terror?” asked a Christian demonstrator who gave his name only as John. “This is not the issue of Muslim and Christian, this is the issue of the freedom that we demanded and can’t find.”

By the end of the night, as clouds of tear gas floated through the dark streets and the crosses carried by the original Christian demonstrators had disappeared, it became increasingly difficult to tell who was fighting whom. At one point, groups of riot police officers were seen beating Muslim protesters, who were shouting, in Arabic, “God is Great!” while just a few yards away other Muslims were breaking pavement into rocks to hurl in the direction of a group of Christians.

“It is chaos,” said Omar el-Shamy, a Muslim student who had spent much of the revolution in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and returned again to help support the Christians against the military. “I was standing with a group of people and suddenly they were chanting with the army! I don’t know what is going on.”

State television announced a curfew in downtown Cairo beginning at 2 a.m., and the civilian cabinet, which serves under the military council, held an emergency session.

Clergy To Join Forces With "Occupy Wall Street" Protesters

10:30 AM

By: NY1 News


NY1...Video...

The "Occupy Wall Street protestors" are remaining in Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park, and members of the clergy are expected to join the effort later today.

Demonstrators organizing the day's events at a so-called "general assembly" today, and a large demonstration is scheduled for tomorrow.

Protestors held a peaceful march up to Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village yesterday.

Police say there were no arrests yesterday, compared to the past two Saturdays, when hundreds of protesters were arrested.

Demonstrators told NY1 this morning that they remain part of the protest to keep sharing their message.

"For the most part, the only thing we all have in common is we want equality. We all come from very different backgrounds, very different economic strides, everything. It's not fair," said one protester. "There's so many people that don't have anything to eat and they're buying $200 lunches, and we're paying for it."

"Message is, you know, I was a business owner and lost my business because of the economy. My dad's house is in foreclosure because of the economy and being taken away from him right now, and there's just too much money in too little pockets," said another.

Protesters last night eventually headed back to Zuccotti Park after several hours at Washington Square Park, which closed to the public at midnight.

Israel and the Forbidden Prophecy


Cosmic Collision Course
________________________________________________________________________

Israel and the Forbidden Prophecy

Ancient Rabbis and Daniel's Seventy Weeks
In the 12th Century A.D., Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon (Maimonides), one of the most respected rabbis in history, and a man who rejected the messianic claims of Jesus of Nazareth, said regarding Daniel's seventy weeks prophecy:
"Daniel has elucidated to us the knowledge of the end times. However, since they are secret, the wise (rabbis) have barred the calculation of the days of Messiah's coming so that the untutored populace will not be led astray when they see that the End Times have already come but there is no sign of the Messiah" (Emphasis added). Igeret Teiman, Chapter 3 p.24.
Finally, Rabbi Moses Abraham Levi said regarding the time of Messiah's coming:
"I have examined and searched all the Holy Scriptures and have not found the time for the coming of Messiah clearly fixed, except in the words of Gabriel to the prophet Daniel, which are written in the 9th chapter of the prophecy of Daniel"
The Messiah of the Targums, Talmuds and Rabbinical Writers, 1971.


THE SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY OF DANIEL 9:24-27

Dan 9:24
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED UPON YOUR PEOPLE" King James Bible.
"Seventy weeks of years are fixed for your people..." Moffat Bible Translation.
"Seven times seventy years..." Good News Bible.
"Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people..." Revised Standard Version.

A PERIOD OF 490 YEARS IS HERE APPORTIONED TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

A Day in Symbolic Prophecy Represents a Year: Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6 The Day-for-a-Year principle in symbolic prophecy has been understood by Bible scholars from the earliest centuries, and is testified to by the above translations.
It is confirmed to be accurate by the dramatic fulfilment of the 70-week prophecy.

"To Finish Transgression, to Make an End of Sins, to Make Reconciliation for Iniquity" The Messiah would bring an end to the reign of sin (Rom 8:3). Here is predicted that sometime before the end of the seventy weeks, a full atonement, a putting away of sin, would be made. This was accomplished by Christ.

Hebrews 9:26
Christ "put away" sin, or put an end to sin's power, by his sacrifice.
Romans 5. 10,11
Reconciled to God by the sacrifice of Jesus the Messiah.
(See also 2 Cor 5:18, Heb 2:17)



"Bring in Everlasting Righteousness''
Righteousness means being in right relationship with the true God. The Hebrew writers of the New Testament declared that this was only achieved by faith in Jesus Christ the Messiah. (See Rom 3:22, Phil 3:9, etc..)

"To Seal Up the Vision and Prophecy" "To ratify the prophetic vision" Moffat.
The accuracy of the prophecy would be confirmed at the end of the time period when all the details of the vision were to be fulfilled.

"To anoint the Most Holy"
The words used here describe the Hebrew sanctuary. Exodus 30:22-30 describe the work of anointing, or consecrating the sanctuary before its use. In Daniel, the anointing of the sanctuary does not refer to the Hebrew sanctuary, which was an "example and shadow of heavenly things" (Heb 8:5), a "figure for the time then present" (Heb 9:9), and was simply the "patterns of things in the heavens" (Heb 9-23). This anointing of a sanctuary refers to the great original, the heavenly sanctuary of which the earthly was just a type (Heb 8:2).

Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary at his ascension (Heb 8:2), and became our High Priest who intercedes in our behalf (Heb 4: 14- 16). The anointing of the Most Holy therefore refers to the beginning of Christ’s priestly intercession.

Dan 9:25
THE STARTING DATE.
From the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah would be a period of three weeks of years plus sixty two weeks of years. A total of 483 years until the Messiah.

Ezra 7:7-28
The decree is recorded in full in verses 12-26. "The seventh year of Artaxerxes the king."

Any history book records that this Persian king (Artaxerxes Longimanus) began his reign in 464 BC. The seventh year is therefore 457 BC. From 457 BC we count 483 years until the Messiah appears – the year 27 AD. In 27 AD the Messiah is to appear in history.

Luke 11. 21-22
Jesus Christ was baptised in the river Jordan by John the Baptist. He was at this time "anointed" as the Messiah, and began his 3 1/2 year ministry. The year was AD 27. The 15th year of Tiberius was AD 27 according to Jewish reckoning.

Luke 4:16-18; Acts 10:37,38
Christ was "anointed" by the Holy Spirit at his baptism.

Mark 1: 15
After Christ was baptised he proclaimed "The time is fulfilled.'' Daniel’s prophecy predicting the year of the Messiah had been fulfilled.

Dan 9:26
Messiah was to be cut off during the last week of years. Between 27 AD and 34 AD.

Dan 9:2
In the midst of the week, or in 31 AD, the Messiah would die, bringing to end the ceremonial sacrifices that pointed to him as the true Lamb of God (John 1:29).

Matthew 27-50,51
When Christ died on the cross the veil in the temple was ripped in two revealing that the Jewish sacrificial system was now obsolete. Christ the true Sacrifice had died bringing an end to the significance of the ceremonial system.

Romans 5:6; John 7:28-30; 13:1
CHRIST DIED EXACTLY ON TIME.

Acts 7:51 ; 8:4
At the end of the 490 years, in 34 AD the gospel was taken to the Gentiles. Paul became the Apostle to the Gentile (non-Jewish) world. The Jews probationary period of 490 years was over. No longer were they God's chosen nation.

Galatians 3:29; Romans 2:28,29
Christians are today "spiritual" Jews, chosen by God to take the gospel to the world. The purpose of God for the Jewish nation came to an end in AD 34.

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.


It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!


It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.



It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
