Founders of the United States Government Were Masons

By Manly P. Hall – Not only were many of the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a washington freemasonsecret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few.

The Great Seal is the signature of this exalted body–unseen and for the most part unknown–and the unfinished pyramid upon its reverse side is a trestleboard setting forth symbolically the task to the accomplishment of which the United States Government was dedicated from the day of its inception.

The Tree of Life represents the spiritual point of balance – the secret of immortality

By Manly P. Hall – Under the appellations of the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is concealed the the-tree-of-lifegreat arcanum of antiquity–the mystery of equilibrium.

The Tree of Life represents the spiritual point of balance–the secret of immortality.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, as its name implies, represents polarity, or unbalance–the secret of mortality.

The Qabbalists reveal this by assigning the central column of their Sephirothic diagram to the Tree of Life and the two side branches to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Unbalanced forces perish in the void,” declares the secret work, and all is made known. (more…)

Who is the Antichrist?

The meaning of the English word Christ is “anointed or messiah.” It is derived from the Old English Crīst, from the Latin Antichrist 3Christus, and originally from the Greek Khristos (ancient Greek: Χριστός, Christós), a noun use of an adjective meaning ‘anointed,’ from khriein ‘anoint,’ translating Hebrew māšīaḥ ‘Messiah.’

The meaning of the word anti is to be against. A person who is opposed to something, such as a group, policy, proposal, or practice. In the bible, the Antichrist could be considered to be against the Christian church, its policies or practices.

Many of the Church fathers and Saints such as St. Irenaeus, St. Jerome, St. Hippolytus, St. Ambrose, St. Bede, St. Gregory the Great, Theodoret, Aretas of Caesarea, and many others said he will be of the tribe of Dan, and that the Antichrist will be a Jew. Aretas, St. Bede, Haymo, and St. Anselm affirm that for this reason the tribe of Dan is not numbered among the tribe who are sealed in the Apocalypse.

You will find that the actual name “Antichrist” is only spoken about by the Apostle John a few times in the bible via the verses John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, and 2 John 7. He tells us that there are “many Antichrists” who will appear between the time of Christ’s first and Second Coming, but there will be one great antichrist who will rise to power during the end times, or “last hour.” (more…)
