The First Templars – Bedesmen Pictures Part II

In my last article on the Bedesmen titled, The First Templars – King’s Bedesmen Part 1, I had detailed the beginning of my Bedesmen (Beadsmen) research hoping to prove some of the connections from this mysterious ancient order to the Templar orders of today. Below I would like to include some old pictures of the Bedesmen that most people probably have never seen that I have collected from open sources on the internet. (more…)

Meaning of the Number 8

There are many meanings behind numbers that one can find when researching this subject. The secret underlying this article is the Greek alphabet when computing the gematria of the allegorical language of the New Testament. The number eight corresponds to the New Testament, according to Ambroise. This is something I AM relearning as I create these articles. For example, I found the number 8 tied to various important stories, events and in particular, a priesthood that had originated in the East. This article will mainly focus on what I feel are the most significant meanings to the Templars.

One of the earliest references to Shakespeare’s name links it with Pythagoras in three of his plays, each time in connection with the concept of the transmigration of souls. Pythagoras says this about numbers; “All is number.” The number 8, which the arithmeticians call the first actual square, has been named, by the Pythagorean Philo— laus the name of geometrical harmony, because he thinks he recognizes in it all the harmonic relations which you will find that in mathematics that the symbol of the infinity is represented by a 8 laid down. It was the Pythagoreans who held that there are in man eight organs of knowledge; sense, fantasy, art, opinion, prudence, science, wisdom, and mind. (more…)

The First Templars – King’s Bedesmen Part 1

Not that many people and even Templar historians are aware of the fact that there was a secret fraternity under the Temple of Solomon who wore the cross patte on their chests long before the Knight’s Templar had become militarized in the 11th century. My research proves that they were the first men with the assignment of specifically building the Temple which would make them the first Templars and it appears that this mysterious hidden fraternity has basically flown beneath the researcher radar for centuries until now.

Back in the ninth century, the original Templars were simply known as the “Poor Knights of the Temple” or the “Bedesmen.” They were the predecessors to Saint Cuthbert and their founder, Saint Bede who they were named after. These Poor Knights would be the first official Templars who were in all the cathedrals of the New Foundation in the time shortly after  Saint Columba of Iona in the sixth century. This was when the Irish and Scottish Celtic Druid Church  who were called Culdees had joined the Roman Church to then become the official Universal Brotherhood, or what we know today as the Catholic Church. A time when Petra (Saint Peter) was made the rock of the church and Jesus the Grand Master or Cornerstone was made Christ of the new foundation in which these Bedesmen were given the task of saying prayers for the founder, Kings and knights under the Temple of Solomon and Rosy-Cross of the new law which we know as the New Testament.

Coat of Many Colors

The purpose for the coat of many colors (Hebrew: כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים‎ kethoneth passim) that was given to Joseph by his father Jacob has been debated upon for many centuries. My hopes are that with this article, I will provide the reasoning backed by the facts to support my theory as to what the coat of many colors had signified in the most simple way possible. Before we explore what this coat is, we first have to identify the people and their tribes or affiliations in the story.

This coat was given to Joseph by his father Jacob. These names and all names in the bible whether it be the Old or New Testaments are not their actual names, but are allegorical. An allegory has a hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text.  Hence, what this means is that the names we see written in the Bible are simply not the original birth names of the people these stories are written about. This is the main method used by biblical authors to help conceal hidden meanings in both the Old and New Testament.

Who was Jacob and what does his name truly mean?

Jacob was the third patriarch of the Hebrew people with whom God had made a covenant, and ancestor of the tribes of Israel, which were named after his descendants. This sentence is key in understanding the coat of many colors because Jacob is essentially the father of Israel because it is the spiritual Israel with whom God made a covenant.

It is in (Genesis 32:28-29 and 35:10), before the birth of Jacob’s son Benjamin, God renames Jacob the new name, Israel. So we understand now that it was at this time that Israel had come into being. What you need to understand is that when Jacob was renamed Israel is that this was the new formation and beginnings of a new peoples united by religion, faith and some, blood. Jacob would be the anointed father of these new peoples that we can find represented in the Authorized King James Version, Genesis 37:3 reads: Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

Boaz and Jachin – Part 1

He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz. – 1 Kings 7:21

One of the most prolific symbols and allegorical key figures that you will find in freemasonry are the two pillars of Boaz and Jachin. The reason that you will always find these pillars in association with freemasonry is because they are the custodians of the Temple of Solomon.

It is both Boaz and Jachin whom are represented as masons that were employed in the building the world-wide temple of the Universal Church under their great master, Hiram Abiff. To honor this occasion, an immortal symbol of their work was created and these two pillars were respectively consecrated.

It is pretty easy to understand this allegory based just on the paragraph above. These two pillars are simply symbolic of the Freemasons whom are the builders of the Temple of Solomon in which they complete the work in building this temple under their Grand Master, HiRam Abiff.

Please keep in mind that when I refer to the Temple of Solomon, I’m not speaking about an actual physical building, but a spiritual world wide structure of human souls who are the living stones, AKA Masons in building the Temple. This is key to understanding the mystery.

It is said that in the degree of perfect master that the two pillars of Boaz and Jachin are fixed crossways and the candidate is asked ” Are you a perfect master ? Where the candidate answers “I have seen the circle and the square enclosing the two columns. (more…)
