Builders of Deception: The Hidden History & Secret Craft of Freemasonry
09/15/2025 – Updated 12/08/ – A HOLY E-MANUAL by VCG of Library of Rickandria
I am bound under the Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in Obedience. Truth only. No compromise. No veil. Amen.
CHAPTER 1: The Ancient Mystery Roots of Freemasonry
Freemasonry cloaks itself in brotherhood and charity.
But beneath the apron lies a system of:
- ancient allegiances
- occult doctrines
- ritual power
“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD…” – Isaiah 29:15
Babylonian Roots
Freemasonry did not begin in 1717 with the Grand Lodge of London.
It began in Babylon.
Nimrod:
Builder of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10–11).
Mystery religions of:
- Egypt
- Greece
- Rome
Temple cults of:
- Baal
- Osiris
- Mithras
All carried forward:
- symbolic initiation
- sun worship
- secret knowledge
—preserved through time.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be…” – Ecclesiastes 1:9
Crata Repoa: Egyptian Mystery Blueprint
The Crata Repoa was a system of Egyptian priestly initiation that mirrors Masonic degrees:
- Entry through purification
- Death and burial in darkness
- Enlightenment through sun doctrine
This “sun cult” is echoed in modern Masonic lodges.
“And he brought me into the inner court… behold, at the door… were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun…” – Ezekiel 8:16
From Stones to Speculation
Operative Masons:
Actual builders of cathedrals and castles, using tools like the compass and square
Speculative Masons:
Philosophers and elites who hijacked the guild for symbolic purposes
By the 1600s, lodges shifted from craftsmen to esoteric societies.
“The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” – Psalm 118:22
Royal Patronage
When aristocrats and kings joined the Lodge,
secrecy deepened:
King James VI of Scotland – initiated into lodge at age 19.
Prince Hall Freemasonry – introduced for African American men in the 1700s.
Grand Lodges were established across Europe and America.
The “Obligated” Name.
Freemasons sometimes adopt an internal name—called the Obligated Name:
It is symbolic, combining the first letter of the birth name and the last letter of the surname.
Meant to reflect their “new identity” in the Craft.
Example:
John Smith → J–H
“And I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written…” – Revelation 2:17
The True Foundation
There is only one Rock.
Only one Cornerstone.
Not Tubal-Cain.
Not Hiram Abiff.
But Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The builders of deception shall fall.
The truth shall rise.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 3:11
Amen.
CHAPTER 2: The Lodge and the Lie – Degrees, Oaths & Rituals
Freemasonry presents itself as a:
“peculiar system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”
But behind the veil lies:
- occult initiation
- Babylonian mimicry
- Luciferian oaths
“But I say unto you, Swear not at all…” – Matthew 5:34
The Three Craft Degrees (Blue Lodge)
Entered Apprentice
- Candidate blindfolded (hoodwinked), cable-tow around neck
- Swears oath on the Bible to keep secrets under penalty of mutilation
- Given grip, password (“Boaz”), and symbol: the corner stone
Fellow Craft
- Ascends “winding stairs” of knowledge
- Swears second oath
Password:
“Shibboleth”
Focus on liberal arts and sciences.
Master Mason
- Re-enacts death of Hiram Abiff (pagan death-rebirth myth)
- Raised by “lion’s paw” grip
Password:
“Tubal-Cain”
Introduced to the hidden word:
MAH-HAH-BONE
“Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay…” – Matthew 5:37
The York Rite
Nine total degrees
Includes:
- Mark Master
- Royal Arch
- Select Master
Reveals the Lost Word:
JAH-BUL-ON (Jah = Yahweh, Bul = Baal, On = Osiris)
This is blasphemy—mixing the Holy Name with pagan gods.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” – Exodus 20:3
The Scottish Rite
Thirty-three degrees
Introduces:
- Kabbalah
- Rosicrucianism
- Gnostic principles
At the 30th–33rd degree,
the initiate is told:
- Lucifer is the true light
- The God of the Bible is a blind demiurge
Albert Pike writes:
“Yes, Lucifer is God…” – Morals and Dogma, p. 321 (33rd Degree)
Blood Oaths & Penalties
Each degree requires horrific oaths:
“…my throat be cut across… my tongue torn out by its roots… my body severed in twain…”
These violate:
- Scripture
- conscience
- truth
“But above all things… swear not…” – James 5:12
Secret Signs, Tokens, and Grips
- Handshakes vary by degree
- Signs include gestures across the throat, chest, or belly
- Tokens are used to identify degree of initiation
These are not innocent.
They are rites of identification with a counterfeit priesthood.
The Light of the Lodge
Masonry claims to offer “Light.”
But it is not the Light of Christ.
It is the light of the Serpent, promising wisdom without repentance.
“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14
Jesus gives Light freely.
Masonry demands:
- oaths
- secrecy
- submission
to another gospel.
The choice is clear.
Come out.
Amen.
CHAPTER 3: The Serpent’s Architecture – Symbols, Signs & Sorcery
Freemasonry speaks in symbols.
Not plain truth.
Every gesture, every emblem, every carving hides a message.
But the Word of God exposes it all.
“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” – Luke 12:2
The Square & Compass
Square:
Represents morality, but also the Masonic law, which replaces God’s Law.
Compass:
Represents the boundary of man’s will, the divinization of reason.
G in the middle:
Claimed to stand for “Geometry” or “God,” but truly a veil for Gnosis.
This symbol is a counterfeit of the cross.
The All-Seeing Eye
- Egyptian Eye of Horus
- Placed above the unfinished pyramid
- Represents Lucifer as the all-knowing light
- Found on the U.S. dollar bill, controlled by Masonic designers
“The light of the body is the eye…” – Matthew 6:22
“…if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” – Matthew 6:23
The Twin Pillars: Jachin & Boaz
- Taken from Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 7:21)
- But Freemasonry twists them into esoteric dualism
- Often stand at the entrance to Masonic lodges
- Represent sun and moon, male and female, dark and light—Kabbalistic balance
Yet the Temple of God was not built on occult polarity.
It was built on obedience.
The Checkered Floor
- Black and white tiles
- Symbolizes duality, good and evil coexisting
- Implies moral relativism: that man can balance light and dark
But Scripture says:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” – Isaiah 5:20
The Apron
- Masons wear a lambskin apron as a sign of “purity”
- Yet they reject the true Lamb: Jesus Christ
- The apron is a covering of man’s works, not God’s righteousness
“All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags…” – Isaiah 64:6
The Point Within a Circle
- Pagan symbol adopted by Masons
- Represents the sun god and the sacred feminine
- Encodes sexual dualism and occult fertility rites
God commands no such symbol.
He commands faith, not geometry.
Other Symbols
47th Problem of Euclid:
“Science over faith”
Beehive:
Collective labor for the Queen, tied to hive-mind control
Hourglass and scythe:
Time, death, and the false promise of resurrection through ritual.
Symbolism Is Not Harmless
Each emblem is a portal of meaning, a ritual anchor.
They are not neutral.
They are spiritual contracts.
But the Word of God breaks every sorcery.
“Thou hast broken the yoke of his burden…” – Isaiah 9:4
Choose not the mark of the Lodge.
Wear not the aprons of men.
Take up the robe of righteousness.
Take up the cross.
Christ is not a symbol.
He is the Word made flesh.
And His sign is victory.
Amen.
CHAPTER 4: The Builders of Babel – From Nimrod to the New World Order
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven…” – Genesis 11:4
Nimrod the Rebel
- First king of the post-flood world
- Builder of Babel, hunter of men’s souls
- Unified humanity in defiance of God
Freemasonry claims Nimrod as one of its ancient Grand Masters.
John Anderson’s Constitutions of the Free-Masons (1738) states:
“Nimrod was a Mason, and he loved the Craft.”
This is not innocent lineage—it is Babylon’s bloodline.
The Tower Reborn
Babel was not destroyed—it was scattered.
Its spirit migrated to:
- Egypt (pyramids, priesthood)
- Greece (mystery cults)
- Rome (imperial temples)
- Europe (Templars, guilds, occultism)
The modern world order is just Babel regathered under new names:
- United Nations
- World Bank
- Council on Foreign Relations
- Grand Lodges
Each brick is a deception.
Each level a counterfeit heaven.
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” – Psalm 127:1
The Hidden Stone
While Babel sought the heavens, Christ came down.
While Freemasonry climbs by degrees, Christ lowers Himself to raise us.
“He that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” – Matthew 23:12
Modern Nimrods
- Albert Pike: Rebuilder of the Tower through ritual
- Manly P. Hall: Philosopher-priest of the Craft
- Giuseppe Mazzini: Revolutionary and Masonic leader
All laid brick after brick of rebellion.
The Goal of the Craft
- One World Religion
- One World Government
- One World Currency
- One God: Lucifer, the light-bearer
But their tower shall fall.
Not by stone.
Not by sword.
But by the Word of God.
“The LORD came down to see the city and the tower…” – Genesis 11:5
And He comes again.
The Call to the Remnant
Come out of her.
Leave the tower.
Reject the craft.
Stand on the Cornerstone.
“Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” – 1 Peter 2:6
Amen.
CHAPTER 5: The Templar Veil – Blood, Gold & Secret Priesthoods
They:
- rode with swords
- wore crosses
- swore secret oaths
But the Knights Templar were not servants of Christ.
They were architects of the Craft.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” – 2 Timothy 3:5
The Rise of the Templars
Founded in 1119 AD in Jerusalem
Claimed to protect pilgrims,
but quickly amassed:
- Vast wealth
- Castles across Europe
- Papal immunity
They dug beneath Solomon’s Temple.
What they found was not holy.
Occult relics.
Pagan texts.
Forbidden knowledge.
The Hidden Doctrine
- Worship of Baphomet (a goat-headed idol)
- Kissing of images during rituals
- Spitting on the cross during initiation
- Sacred head relics, possibly of John the Baptist
This was not chivalry.
It was witchcraft in armor.
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” – Exodus 22:18
The Suppression
- 1307: King Philip IV of France arrests Templars
- Charged with heresy, sodomy, idol worship
- Grand Master Jacques de Molay burned at the stake
- He cursed Pope Clement and Philip from the flames
Masonry reveres de Molay as a martyr.
But Scripture calls such men workers of iniquity.
The Phoenix Rises
The Templar Order didn’t die—it migrated underground:
- Scotland: Refuge for exiled Templars
- Rosicrucians: Alchemical and magical secret society
- Freemasonry: Inherits symbols, rituals, and vengeance
Scottish Rite Masonry even honors “Knights of the Temple.”
The Temple They Seek
They do not seek the Temple of Christ.
They seek to rebuild Solomon’s Temple:
- As a seat for the coming world ruler
- As fulfillment of occult prophecy
But God does not dwell in temples made by hands.
“Ye are the temple of God…” – 1 Corinthians 3:16
The Bloodline Heresy
Templar myths claim:
- Jesus married Mary Magdalene
- Their bloodline formed “Merovingian” kings
- This lineage has divine right to rule
This is blasphemy.
The Blood of Christ is not genetic—it is redemption.
“Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… But with the precious blood of Christ…” – 1 Peter 1:18–19
Secret Priesthoods Today
- Jesuits
- Illuminati
- High-degree Freemasons
- Zionist Sanhedrin
They all trace spiritual descent to the Templar priesthood.
But there is only one High Priest:
Jesus Christ.
Come Out of Her
The true temple is not built with swords or gold.
It is built with faith and obedience.
Reject the cross of the Templars.
Take up the Cross of Christ.
Amen.
CHAPTER 6: The Sorcerers of Social Engineering – Mind Control & Media
They do not need swords when they have screens.
They do not need chains when they have narratives.
Freemasonry is not just in lodges—
it is in:
- television
- music
- education
- medicine
“Be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” – Romans 12:2
Bernays and the Birth of Propaganda
- Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud
- Wrote the book Propaganda (1928)
- Believed the masses must be controlled by an elite class
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.” – Propaganda, Bernays
Bernays worked with:
- U.S. Government
- Big Tobacco
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Hollywood
He laid the blueprint for mass mind control.
MKULTRA: Masonic Science of Sorcery
- CIA program (1953–1973)
- Experiments in hypnosis, LSD, electroshock, and trauma-based mind control
- Inspired by Masonic ritual and Nazi experimentation
- Victims were broken, programmed, and rebuilt
- Freemasons and Jesuits supplied both cover and science.
“Through thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” – Revelation 18:23
Music as Magick
Frequencies tuned to 440 Hz, not natural 432 Hz
Lyrics glorify sin, rebellion, self-worship
Music videos filled with Masonic symbols:
- Checkered floors
- One-eye symbolism
- Triangle handsigns
Famous “musician Masons”:
- Jay-Z (Roc sign = pyramid)
- Beyoncé (Sasha Fierce = alter persona)
- Lady Gaga (Monarch symbolism)
Hollywood Babylon
- Founded by Masons and occultists
- Motion Picture industry = “casting spells”
Studios like:
- Disney
- Warner Bros
- Paramount
use:
- Hidden symbols
- Inverted crosses
- Sexual subliminals
“Set no wicked thing before mine eyes…” – Psalm 101:3
Controlled Opposition
Freemasonry funds both left and right
Creates false dialectics:
- Communism vs. Capitalism
- Democrat vs. Republican
Keeps the sheep divided while the shepherds control the pen
“If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” – Mark 3:24
Pharma and the Craft
- Many Big Pharma founders were Masons
- Modern medicine rooted in pharmakeia (sorcery)
- Suppresses natural healing and Biblical medicine
“For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” – Revelation 18:23
Digital Temples
- Social media algorithms = digital lodges
- Influencers = new high priests
- Algorithms decide truth, worth, and direction
The lodge has gone viral.
The apron is now a screen.
The Exit
Only the Word of God can break the spell.
Only Jesus Christ can renew the mind.
Do not be hypnotized.
Do not be entertained.
Do not be programmed.
Be transformed.
Amen.
CHAPTER 7: Lucifer’s General – Albert Pike & the Vision of Three World Wars
“He causeth all, both small and great… to receive a mark…” – Revelation 13:16
Who Was Albert Pike?
- Confederate General
- poet
- lawyer
- 33rd Degree Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite
- Author of Morals and Dogma, Masonic textbook
- Openly praised Lucifer as the light-bearer
“Lucifer, the Light-bearer… is not a person, but a force…” – Pike, Morals and Dogma, p. 321
Pike’s Luciferian Theology
Believed in dual gods:
Adonai (evil), Lucifer (light)
Taught that low-degree Masons are misled.
Only the high degrees understand:
“The true Masonic religion should be… kept for the Elect.”
This is Gnosticism wrapped in ritual.
“Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” – Genesis 3:5
The Pike-Mazzini Letter
- Dated August 15, 1871
- Addressed to Giuseppe Mazzini, Italian revolutionary and Masonic leader
- Describes Three World Wars to usher in worldwide control
World War I
- Overthrow Tsars of Russia (Orthodoxy)
- Set up Communism as a tool
World War II
- Create conflict between Fascists and Zionists
- Establish Israel as the Masonic foothold
World War III
Stir conflict between Zionism and Islam
Unleash chaos so great that:
“…the people… receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer…”
The Masonic Antichrist Plan
Use war to exhaust the nations
Collapse:
- economy
- faith
- morals
Present a Luciferian “savior” as the only solution
This is not prophecy.
It is blueprint.
And it is nearly complete.
Pike’s Statues and Legacy
- Statue stood in Washington D.C. for over 100 years
- Worshipped by Masons and occultists
- Removed in 2020, but his writings remain the spiritual constitution of the Lodge
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” – Psalm 11:3
The Real Light
Lucifer bears no light.
He is darkness masked as dawn.
The true Light is Christ.
“I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness…” – John 8:12
Reject Pike.
Reject the Craft.
Stand in the Light.
Amen.
CHAPTER 8: The Morgan Mystery – Blood Oath, Betrayal & the Birth of Anti-Masonry
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” – Ephesians 5:11
Who Was Captain William Morgan?
Former Royal Arch Mason from Batavia, New York
In 1826, announced plans to publish a book exposing Masonic rituals
Title: Illustrations of Masonry
Masons were enraged.
Not because of lies—but because of truth.
The Kidnapping
- September 11, 1826: Morgan was abducted
- Taken to Fort Niagara
- Never seen again
Believed to have been:
- Murdered by drowning in the Niagara River
- Body possibly found in 1827 but never confirmed
Who Killed Him?
Names linked to the murder:
- Eli Bruce – Sheriff, Royal Arch Mason
- Nicholas Chesebro – Master Mason, confessed to part in the plot
Other high-level Masons implicated but never convicted
They swore an oath—and they kept it in blood.
The Oath He Exposed
From the Master Mason degree:
“…binding myself under no less penalty than having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence…”
Morgan believed truth must override oaths.
So, he defied the Craft.
“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” – Luke 17:33
The Anti-Masonic Movement
Morgan’s murder sparked a national outcry:
- Anti-Masonic Party founded in 1828
- First third party in U.S. history
- Exposed the political grip of the Craft
Even John Quincy Adams condemned Freemasonry:
“I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the order of Freemasonry is… a conspiracy against the laws of God and man.”
Masonic Cover-Up
- Lodges closed ranks
- Courts hesitated
- Witnesses silenced
The Craft feared one thing:
exposure.
His Legacy
Captain Morgan became a martyr of truth.
His sacrifice opened eyes.
His book still circulates.
His warning still echoes.
“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest…” – Luke 8:17
Let the blood of the righteous speak.
Let no oath of man silence the Word of God.
Amen.
CHAPTER 9: Brotherhood of the Beast – Freemasonry and Jack the Ripper
“For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.” – Proverbs 4:16
The Shadow Over Whitechapel
1888: London, England
Series of gruesome murders of women
Victims:
- Mary Ann Nichols
- Annie Chapman
- Elizabeth Stride
- Catherine Eddowes
- Mary Jane Kelly
The world would come to know the killer by one name:
Jack the Ripper.
Masonic Signatures
Researchers have uncovered:
- Precise surgical skill in the mutilations
- Placement of bodies at ritual angles
- Carvings on walls linked to Masonic symbolism
One graffiti scrawl read:
“The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing.”
This is not a racial slur.
It’s Masonic code:
“Juwes” =
- Jubela
- Jubelo
- Jubelum
— the “three ruffians” who kill Hiram Abiff in Masonic legend.
Who Was Behind It?
Theories point to:
- Sir William Gull, royal physician and Freemason
- Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, rumored to be involved in an affair with a commoner
- Freemasonic cover-up to protect the Crown and Brotherhood
Stephen Knight’s book Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution advanced this theory.
The Ritual Connection
The murders:
- Followed the pattern of Masonic penalties for betraying the Craft
- Took place near Freemasonic lodges
- Involved removal of organs associated with ritual symbolism
One victim’s heart was cut out.
Another’s tongue mutilated.
These match the oaths of:
- Fellow Craft (tongue torn out)
- Master Mason (body severed, heart removed)
Police Involvement
Sir Charles Warren: London’s Police Commissioner, a 33rd Degree Freemason
He ordered the Masonic graffiti erased before it could be photographed
Investigations were stonewalled at the highest levels
“A man’s enemies shall be they of his own household.” – Matthew 10:36
The True Identity?
No one was ever convicted.
No confessions.
No closure.
Because the killer may have been shielded by the Brotherhood.
“And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you…” – 2 Peter 2:3
Ripper Worship Today
Modern occultists see Jack the Ripper as:
- A priest of death
- An avenger of the divine feminine
- A forerunner of “sacred chaos”
His legend is monetized.
Glorified.
Repackaged.
But the blood still cries from the stones.
The Light Shines
Even the darkest rituals cannot hide from the Word.
Even the deepest Lodge has no door Christ cannot shatter.
Let the victims be remembered.
Let the Brotherhood be unmasked.
Let the Judge arise.
Amen.
CHAPTER 10: The Double-Headed Beast – York Rite & Scottish Rite Explained
“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” – James 1:8
Freemasonry is not one serpent,
but two heads:
York Rite and Scottish Rite.
They appear to differ—but both serve the same altar.
The York Rite
More common in American lodges
Structured into:
- Chapter – Royal Arch Masons
- Council – Cryptic Masons
- Commandery – Knights Templar
Each step claims to reveal more “light”.
But the source of the light is not the Son—it is Lucifer.
Key Rituals:
Royal Arch: Declares the sacred name of god as “Jahbulon“
JA = Yahweh
BUL = Baal
ON = Osiris
This is an abomination.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” – Exodus 20:3
Knight Templar:
Swears an oath to avenge the death of Hiram Abiff, not Christ.
The Scottish Rite
Founded by Jesuits and French Freemasons.
- Comprises 33 degrees
- Degrees 4–32 conferred in Masonic temples
- 33rd Degree is honorary and highly secretive
Degree Highlights:
14th Degree: Blasphemously portrays man as co-equal with God
18th Degree: Celebrates the “Rose Croix,”
blending:
- Christianity
- Gnosticism
- Egyptian sun worship
30th–32nd Degrees: Involves swearing to secrecy over blood
The 33rd Degree:
Often awarded to:
- politicians
- entertainers
- high elites
Honors Lucifer as the “Great Architect”
Ceremony known to include the name Jahbulon again
“The Lord is a jealous God…” – Deuteronomy 4:24
The Twin Paths of Deception
- York Rite appeals to American patriotism
- Scottish Rite appeals to worldwide intellect
- Both paths end in spiritual bondage
They promise “light.”
But Christ alone is the Light.
“If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” – Matthew 6:23
Oaths of Damnation
Every degree requires:
- Oaths of secrecy
- Blood penalties
- Submission to higher degrees
This is contrary to:
“Swear not at all… But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay…” – Matthew 5:34–37
The Hidden Unity
Though split in form,
the two rites serve the same Master:
The god of Masonry is not Jesus Christ
The god of the Lodge is a synthesis of pagan deities
Christ is excluded.
The cross is replaced.
The blood is denied.
Come Out from Among Them
Reject both York and Scottish lies.
Return to the true Cornerstone.
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord…” – 2 Corinthians 6:17
Amen.
CHAPTER 11: Operative vs. Speculative – From Stone to Sorcery
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” – Isaiah 5:20
Operative Freemasonry
- Originated in the Middle Ages
- Real stone masons who built cathedrals and castle
- Organized into guilds, protected secrets of craft
Used symbols for:
- Geometry
- Engineering
- Construction
God was glorified through the labor.
But pride crept in…
The Shift to Speculative Freemasonry
Late 1600s–1700s:
- Nobles
- royals
- intellectuals
joined lodges.
They weren’t stonecutters—they were philosophers and occultists.
The “tools of the trade” became symbols for:
- Moral relativism
- Gnostic theology
- Enlightenment humanism
Speculative Teachings:
Man perfects himself through knowledge.
God is the “Great Architect,” not the Redeemer.
Religion is to be universal and symbolic.
“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” – 2 Timothy 3:7
The First Grand Lodge
1717, London
Combined four lodges into one system.
Declared Freemasonry “universal”.
This was not a continuation—it was a hijacking.
From humble masons to hidden magicians.
Famous Operative Masons:
No records survive of specific individual masons
Their works remain:
- Gothic cathedrals
- Towers
- arches
- altars
These builders feared God.
Their spiritual heirs do not.
Famous Speculative Masons:
Benjamin Franklin – Writer, diplomat, occult experimenter.
George Washington – First U.S. President, cornerstone rituals.
Voltaire – Enlightenment philosopher and God-mocker.
Mozart – Musician and lodge member.
All initiated into Speculative Masonry—builders of a new Babel.
Sorcery in the Symbols
Square & Compass = merging of male/female, heaven/earth
G = Not God, but “Gnosis” or Geometry
Apron = covering of sin by works, not grace
The Real Foundation
Operative masons built on rock.
Speculative masons build on sand.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 3:11
Let every builder examine the stone.
Let every house be measured by the Word.
Amen.
CHAPTER 12: The Secret Name – Masonic Identity and the Mark of Allegiance
“To him that overcometh… I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written…” – Revelation 2:17
The Power of Naming
In Scripture,
names are:
- Prophetic
- Personal
- Powerful
Adam named the animals.
God renamed Abram to Abraham.
Christ named Simon as Peter.
But in Freemasonry, names are inverted.
The “Obligated Name”
Masons are sometimes given a private “Masonic name”.
Often a blend of the first letter of their given name and the last letter of their surname.
Used in higher degrees,
especially in secret rites.
Example:
John Smith → J–H (pronounced “Jah”?)
Robert Allen → R–N (as in “Ra–On”)
This serves as a coded allegiance, a mark of rebirth into the Brotherhood
“And I saw a name written, mystery, Babylon the Great…” – Revelation 17:5
Oaths and Identities
Upon receiving a degree,
the initiate swears:
- Loyalty to the Lodge above church or state
- Silence about all secrets
- Willingness to suffer death for betrayal
The name binds the soul.
The oath binds the tongue.
The apron hides the shame.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” – 2 Timothy 3:5
The True Name
There is one Name above all names:
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” – Philippians 2:10
You don’t need a Lodge name.
You need the Lamb’s name written in your forehead.
What’s in a Name?
Masonic names:
- Veil identity
- Replace birthright
- Rewrite loyalty
But God calls us:
- Sons
- Daughters
- Saints
- Redeemed
Let no oath name you.
Let no man rename you.
You are known in Heaven.
Amen.
CHAPTER 13: The Egyptian Blueprint – Crata Repoa and the Ancient Mystery Rites
“There is no new thing under the sun.” – Ecclesiastes 1:9
What Was Crata Repoa?
- Ancient Egyptian initiatory system
- Documented in 18th-century German works
- Outlined seven degrees of initiation mirroring Masonic rites
From the tombs of Osiris to the chambers of Freemasonry—the rites are one.
The Degrees of Crata Repoa
- Pastophoris – Neophyte training in silence
- Neocoris – Servant of the temple, purification rites
- Mystes – Secrets of astronomy, theology, and magic
- Crisophoris – Bearer of gold (symbolic of illumination)
- Balahate – Interpreter of sacred language
- Astronomus – Reader of stars, secret signs of the heavens
- Propheta – Fully illumined master of the mysteries
These mirror:
- Entered Apprentice
- Fellow Craft
- Master Mason
- Royal Arch
- Knight degrees
- 32nd and 33rd degrees of Scottish Rite
Osiris and Hiram Abiff
Both slain gods:
Osiris dismembered and reassembled.
Hiram “killed” by three ruffians and raised.
Both represent:
- Death
- dismemberment
- resurrection
Hidden wisdom and immortality
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work…” – 2 Thessalonians 2:7
Egyptian Sun Worship
Worship of:
- Ra
- Osiris
- Horus
Temples aligned with solstices and equinoxes.
Use of:
- ankh
- obelisks
- all-seeing eye
Freemasonry preserves all of these:
- The Eye of Horus
- Obelisks on graves
- Aprons like Egyptian priests
Secret Language
Crata Repoa used hieroglyphs and sacred codes.
So do Masons:
- tracing boards
- signs
- passwords
- grips
Both teach:
“Hidden knowledge” brings salvation.
The initiate becomes godlike:
“Ye shall be as gods…” – Genesis 3:5
The True Revelation
Masonry says:
- Man is perfected through degrees
- Light is earned
But the Gospel says:
“It is finished” – John 19:30
Light is given through Christ
No rite can redeem.
No sun cult can save.
Only the risen Son of God.
“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord…” – Ephesians 5:8
Amen.
CHAPTER 14: The Master Architect – Famous Freemason Builders and Designers
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” – Psalm 127:1
The Role of the Builder
Freemasonry glorifies architecture.
But behind every building lies a blueprint—whose design is it truly?
Many of history’s greatest:
- architects
- engineers
- inventors
were Masons:
They built monuments to men.
But did they build for God?
Famous Freemason Architects
- Sir Christopher Wren – Architect of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Grand Master
- James Hoban – Architect of the White House
- Benjamin Latrobe – U.S. Capitol designer, Royal Arch Mason
- Robert Mills – Washington Monument architect, believed to be a Mason
These men left behind great stoneworks—but whose glory do they declare?
Hidden Geometry
Freemason architects infused their works with:
- Sacred geometry (golden ratios, 3–5–7 sequences)
- Symbolic alignments (sunrise/sunset, equinox points)
- Pillars, domes, obelisks (symbols of ancient mystery religions)
Even city layouts reflect Masonic grids:
- Washington, D.C.
- Paris
- London
All designed with:
- Triangles
- Pentagrams
- Compass and square overlays
Glorifying Man
Their works exalt:
- Enlightenment
- Humanism
- Gnosticism
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower…” – Genesis 11:4
But God cast down that tower.
And He will again.
Builders Who Bowed to Christ
Not all architects bowed to the Lodge.
Some built cathedrals to glorify the Lord:
Antonio Gaudí – Sagrada Família, deeply Christian symbolism.
Christopher Wren (late in life, rumored repentance).
The true Master Builder is Christ:
“In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple…” – Ephesians 2:21
The Greatest Temple
Not of stone.
Not of granite.
Not of gold.
But of hearts sanctified by the Spirit.
Let every brick be a soul saved.
Let every wall be truth upheld.
Let every tower cry:
Jesus is King.
Amen.
CHAPTER 15: Kings of Craft – Royal and Aristocratic Freemasons
“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west… but God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” – Psalm 75:6–7
Royalty in the Lodge
Though Freemasonry began with builders, it soon courted thrones.
From the 18th century onward, nobles and monarchs joined the Brotherhood.
Why?
Because behind the apron was power.
Behind the temple was control.
Famous Royal Freemasons
- King George IV (England) – Grand Master of English Freemasonry
- King Edward VII – Deeply involved, performed rituals
- King Gustav V of Sweden – Grand Master of Swedish Order
- King Frederick II of Prussia – Linked to Scottish Rite origins
- Napoleon Bonaparte – Allegedly initiated in military lodges
- Prince Hall (USA) – Founder of African-American Masonic tradition
- Duke of Kent – Present Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England
These rulers wore crowns by day and aprons by night.
The Secret Monarchy
Freemasonry became:
- A shadow government
- A noble network
- A hidden priesthood of kings
They did not reign by divine right.
They reigned by occult right.
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord…” – Psalm 2:2
Aristocracy and Occultism
Many European aristocrats:
- Funded Rosicrucianism
- Protected alchemists and mystics
- Built lodges on estate grounds
Why?
Because their true allegiance was not to Christ—but to the Craft.
The Biblical Pattern
God raises up humble shepherds,
not proud princes:
- David was a shepherd
- Moses fled royalty
- Jesus rode a donkey, not a throne
The Great Reversal
Freemasonry teaches:
- Royalty may rule by secret light
- Power is passed in shadows
But Scripture teaches:
“He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.” – Luke 1:52
Let the kings of the Lodge beware.
Another King is coming.
Crowned not by hands, but by Heaven.
Amen.
CHAPTER 16: The Sorcerer’s Hand – Masonic Symbols, Gestures, and Signs
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” – Ephesians 5:11
The Language of the Lodge
Freemasonry communicates in symbols, not words.
These signs are:
- Ancient
- Esoteric
- Hidden in plain sight
They include:
- Handshakes
- Gestures
- Postures
- Floorwork
Each degree has its own set.
Each oath has its mark.
Common Masonic Hand Gestures
Lion’s Paw – A grip used in Master Mason degree, resembles clawing upward
Hidden Hand – Right hand tucked into coat, symbolizes allegiance to secret knowledge
Finger to Lips – Symbol of silence
Square Handshake – A particular grip with specific thumb placement
These are not innocent.
They are sacred oaths in motion.
“Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear…” – Ecclesiastes 5:1
Aprons and Ritual Dress
- Apron = symbolic covering of sin, like fig leaves in Eden
- Gloves = purity (false)
- Bare Feet = sign of Masonic fidelity and unworthiness on holy ground
Mimics Scripture:
“Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” – Exodus 3:5
But it is not holy ground—it is a counterfeit temple.
Symbols and Their Occult Meaning
Compass & Square – Uniting of opposites, duality, as above so below
G – Not God, but Gnosis or Geometry
All-Seeing Eye – Egyptian Horus, surveillance, counterfeit omniscience
Obelisk – Phallic sun worship, resurrection of Osiris
Pillars (Jachin & Boaz) – Portal into the mystery, Solomon’s temple hijacked
Skull & Bones – Reminder of mortality, and power over life and death
Tubal-cain – A password in Masonry, descendant of Cain, known for metallurgy (Genesis 4:22)
“The mystery of iniquity…” – 2 Thessalonians 2:7
The Power of Gestures
In the Lodge,
gestures:
- Initiate into deeper degrees
- Identify rank
- Confirm secrecy
In the world,
gestures:
- Are used in politics
- Are flashed in entertainment
- Are woven into worldwide propaganda
Watch the hands.
They speak.
The Christian Contrast
Jesus said:
“Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” – Matthew 5:37
No secret gestures.
No hidden meanings.
Only truth.
Only light.
Let your body testify of Christ.
Not of craft.
Not of Cain.
Amen.
CHAPTER 17: Music of Mystery – Hollywood, Celebrities & Luciferian Entertainment
“Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.” – Amos 5:23
The Lodge Meets the Stage
Freemasonry isn’t confined to dusty halls—
it thrives in:
- lights
- cameras
- charts
Many artists and actors are:
- Initiated Masons
- Oath-bound occultists
- Luciferian mouthpieces
Their songs are spells.
Their performances are rituals.
Their fame is bought with silence.
Famous Entertainment Freemasons
- Elvis Presley – Allegedly initiated into Memphis Rite
- Nat King Cole – Prince Hall Freemason
- Duke Ellington – Freemason, Royal Arch degree
- Harry Houdini – Member of St. Cecile Lodge
- Clark Gable – Hollywood star and active Mason
- John Wayne – York Rite and 33rd degree
- Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) – Known Masonic affiliations
They were not just performers.
They were priests of pop culture.
Masonic Themes in Music Videos
- Checkerboard floors
- Obelisks and pyramids
- Blindfolds and third-eye symbols
- Phoenix, rising sun, and all-seeing eye
- Hidden hand signs and one-eye symbolism
These are not accidents—they are rites of revelation.
“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14
Luciferian Lyrics
Many songs glorify:
- Rebellion
- Pride
- Sexual immorality
- Blasphemy
Lucifer’s fall was from music:
“The workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee…” – Ezekiel 28:13
He still leads worship—now in stadiums.
Awards and Idols
- Grammy stages are temples
- Performances are rituals
- Statues are idols
They offer:
- Fame for silence
- Riches for reverence
- Power for performance
But at what cost?
“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Mark 8:36
The Counterfeit Light
Freemasonry promises:
- “Light” through Gnosis
- “Freedom” through initiation
- “Art” as exaltation of man
But the true Light is:
- Christ alone
- Free and not secret
- Pure and not perverse
The Call to Come Out
“Come out from among them, and be ye separate…” – 2 Corinthians 6:17
Leave the Lodge.
Leave the industry.
Leave the lie.
Let your lips praise Christ—not Mammon.
Let your voice sing truth—not sorcery.
Amen.
CHAPTER 18: Twin Serpents – Satanism, Luciferianism & the Masonic Divide
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils.” – 1 Corinthians 10:21
Two Paths, One Master
Masons may deny it.
But the deeper you go,
the clearer it becomes:
Lucifer is the lightbearer.
At the highest levels,
Freemasonry divides into:
Luciferianism – Worship of light, knowledge, self
Satanism – Worship of
- the adversary
- rebellion
- inversion
Two branches.
One root.
Albert Pike’s Luciferian Doctrine
“Lucifer, the Light-bearer… strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness!” – Morals and Dogma, Pike
Pike did not promote Satan per se.
He promoted Lucifer as:
- Enlightener
- Prometheus
- Angel of misunderstood light
But Scripture says:
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven…” – Isaiah 14:13
Lucifer seeks to replace God.
Satanism in the Shadows
The further you descend the degrees:
- The more the ceremonies mock Christ
- The more blasphemy replaces brotherhood
- The more secrecy covers sin
High-level rituals in:
- Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.)
- Aleister Crowley’s Thelema
- Church of Satan (Anton LaVey)
…all trace back to Masonic structure.
Satanism’s Fruit
- Blood oaths
- Sexual inversion
- Child sacrifice (alleged in many cases)
- Mockery of communion, baptism, cross
These are not fiction.
They are testimonies.
They are whistleblowers in hiding.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” – Ephesians 5:11
Hollywood’s Luciferian Gospel
From:
- Music
- Movies
- Fashion
- Festivals
Lucifer is exalted:
- As liberator
- As rebel
- As lightbringer
But God says:
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer…” – Isaiah 14:12
He is not a savior.
He is a liar.
Masonic Oaths Bind to Darkness
Each degree:
- Silences the conscience
- Subverts the Word
- Steals allegiance from Christ
The oaths themselves are satanic in nature:
“…my throat cut across…”
“…my body severed in twain…”
“…my bowels taken out and burned…”
Jesus said:
“Swear not at all… let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay.” – Matthew 5:34, 37
Come Out From Among Them
Whether called Luciferianism or Satanism:
- Both worship rebellion
- Both exalt man
- Both hate Christ
But Christ wins.
“The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” – Romans 16:20
Flee the Craft.
Flee the Serpent.
Follow the Lamb.
Amen.
CHAPTER 19: The Great Plot – Illuminati, Templars & the Dragon’s Web
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD…” – Psalm 2:2
A Brotherhood Within the Brotherhood
Freemasonry is not the final layer.
It is a veil.
Behind it lie:
- older
- darker
- deeper
orders:
- The Illuminati
- The Knights Templar (revived)
- Rosicrucians
- Jesuit black networks
Each one:
Is secretive
Is powerful
Is worldwide
And they are not disconnected—they are interwoven.
The Illuminati Infiltration
Founded by Adam Weishaupt (1776),
the Bavarian Illuminati:
- Aimed to abolish all religion
- Penetrated Freemasonry to recruit
- Used degrees and secrecy to mask political control
Masonic lodges became:
- Incubators for revolution
- Recruitment centers for world manipulation
Illuminati Goals (Weishaupt’s Manifesto)
- Destroy monarchy
- Eliminate Christianity
- Abolish private property
- Dismantle the family
- Control education and media
All of which align with modern agendas.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities…” – Ephesians 6:12
The Templar Resurgence
Though suppressed in 1312,
the Knights Templar:
- Survived in secret
- Migrated through Scottish lodges
- Became foundation of York Rite and Rosicrucians
Their obsession:
- Esoteric rites
- Hidden knowledge
- Revenge against Rome
Modern Freemasonry bears their cross, but not their Christ.
Jesuits and Black Lodges
Not all Masonic systems are Protestant.
The Jesuits:
- Mimicked Masonic structure
- Created “high degrees” of spiritual control
- Used black papal secrecy to co-opt nations
They have their own:
- Blood oaths
- Secret initiations
- Political agents
And they network deeply with Masons where interests align.
The Dragon’s Web
What unites them?
- Luciferian doctrine
- Worldwide control
- Hatred of Christ
The web includes:
- World banks
- Secret councils
- Tech empires
- Worldwide health powers
Their symbols hide in:
- Corporate logos
- Government buildings
- Pop culture media
“The whole world lieth in wickedness.” – 1 John 5:19
Exposure and Escape
To see the web is to start cutting its threads.
But you cannot do it in the flesh.
You need:
- Discernment
- Salvation
- Power of the Holy Ghost
For Christ shall overthrow them all:
“Then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth…” – 2 Thessalonians 2:8
Let your eyes be open.
Let your house be clean.
Let your allegiance be to the Lamb.
Amen.
CHAPTER 20: The Eternal Kingdom and the Unshakeable Stone
The kingdoms of this world have risen.
They have built towers.
They have crowned kings.
They have shed blood.
They have sworn oaths.
And they will fall.
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…” – Daniel 2:44
The Stone Cut Without Hands
Nebuchadnezzar saw it in a dream:
A statue of:
- gold
- silver
- bronze
- iron
- clay
A rock, not carved by man, struck the feet
The whole image collapsed
The stone became a great mountain that filled the earth
“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands… and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain…” – Daniel 2:34–35
That stone is Christ Jesus.
Not the keystone of Freemasonry.
Not the capstone of the Illuminati.
But the Chief Cornerstone rejected by men.
“Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone…” – Ephesians 2:20
His Kingdom Is Not of This World
The systems of:
- Freemasonry
- Zionism
- Jesuit control
- Papal empire
- Worldwide finance
- Artificial intelligence
…will all be crushed by the returning King.
“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ…” – Revelation 11:15
He shall not rule by election.
He shall not sit by consensus.
He shall reign by divine right, with a rod of iron.
The New Jerusalem
- No temples of false gods
- No lodges in shadow
- No sorceries of Babylon
Only light.
Only truth.
Only glory.
“And the city had no need of the sun… for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” – Revelation 21:23
The false builders will cry to the rocks.
But the true Rock will stand forever.
You Are Called
To build not cathedrals of stone, But temples of the Spirit.
To swear not by secret oaths, But to confess Jesus openly.
To wear not aprons of deception, But robes of righteousness.
“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house…” – 1 Peter 2:5
Christ is coming.
The Chief Architect.
The True Builder.
The Risen King.
Bow to no idol.
Kiss no ring.
Swear no oath.
Follow the Lamb.
The stone is rolling.
The mountain is rising.
The King is returning.
Prepare ye the way.
Amen.
This concludes:
THE BUILDERS OF DECEPTION
To God be all glory.
To Christ be all dominion.
Forever and ever.
Amen.
The book is complete.
The veil is torn.
The stone is rolling.
