The Prophecy Project:
Session 9
WELCOME… To session number NINE of the prophecy project. Last session I covered the American symbolism found in Washington D.C. and on and in the capitol building itself. We saw that the symbols are intended to instruct and teach those who are learned in the interpretation of classical art. That they are not just pretty pictures or statues. We found a theme running throughout the symbols which told us that the eagle and the woman are the two main spiritual symbols representing America. Some of the statues had used ancient Babylonian symbols to tie Babylon and America together, the use of these symbols is much to precise to be an accident. I asked the question where did this kind of understanding come from? I need to make it clear, that the motives of the originators of the different works found throughout the capitol are not in question, it doesn’t matter why certain symbols were used, but rather just that they were, and that they agree with what the Bible says that Babylon’s symbols would be. The Jewish prophets had been shown the symbols and descriptions by God because they could see down though time to the time of the end, when the second Babylon would exist. There is nothing sinister about having the eagle as a national symbol or even a woman, other nations are called women, England is called “Britannia”, I’ve read accounts by some authors that believe that Britannia is the mother of Columbia.
Before I go any further into the symbols of America, I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding concerning my intent. The information I present is not meant to bash America or malign the founding fathers or anyone else. Each of you will have to deal with the information I present and work it into your personal view of the subject. I love my nation and would never belittle her.
The Laws of America have been very closely aligned with the laws of God as set forth in his word. And because America honored God and his values, he has blessed and prospered her beyond any nation that has ever existed, and America has in turn passed those blessing on to the world at large. No nation has ever given so much away to others.
The laws of God were adopted by American lawmakers in the beginning because the people of America already lived by those laws and would not have settled for anything less.
The governmental system is meant to be a neutral system, although not a Biblical system, it is designed to be changeable, but not easily changed. The elected representatives can modify or add laws as they feel the need. As the values of the people change so will the laws. There is no fixed set of values to lead America into the future. This why marriage can be redefined, the family unit, even the sanctity of life can be changed by the legislators and courts.
There are several other democratic nations in the world who have not prospered to the extent of America, They don’t have the same foundation or religious systems. I don’t believe that we are blessed because of our type of Government, but rather because of the righteousness of a large segment of the American people.
Proverb 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
I noted in the last session that the God of the Bible is not symbolically acknowledged on the government buildings. But when God or gods are symbolically shown, they use pagan symbols to represent them. according to the God of the Bible these are no Gods. The word used in the new Testament for gods or goddesses is “daimon” from which we get the English word “demon” which is also interpreted in scripture as “devils”. in I Timothy 4:1 we are told that in the last days they (devils) will be instructors and teachers to men, teaching their values.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the later times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and the doctrines of devils (gods and goddesses):
He also gives all men the right to choose their god/gods. but he indicates that in the day of God’s judgment, those gods will be powerless to save you.
A good example of the use of pagan gods in the capitol can be seen in the painting at the top of the interior rotunda, it is called the “apotheosis of Washington”, as in George Washington the first president.
Washington is seen at the center, seated in a heavenly scene, in the clouds, he has two consorts with him one on each side, victory sounds a trumpet, as twelve females dance and sing around the rotunda, each woman represents one of the twelve original states, they are also symbolized with a star for each.
Around the edge of the rotunda are a series of groupings of figures, each group represents an aspect of America.
Group one is “Science” Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, is portrayed with helmet and spear pointing. American scientists and inventors Benjamin Franklin, Samuel F.B. Morse, and Robert Fulton watch.
Group two is “Marine” This scene shows Neptune, the Roman sea god, with trident and crown of seaweed riding in a shell chariot drawn by sea horses. Venus, goddess of love born of the sea, is depicted helping to lay the transatlantic telegraph cable.
Group three is “Commerce” Mercury, the god Roman god of commerce, with his winged petasos and sandals and a caduceus, is depicted giving a bag of gold to American Revolutionary war financer Robert Morris.
Group four is “Mechanics” Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and the forge, is depicted standing at an anvil with his foot on a cannon next to a pile of cannonballs.
Group five is “Agriculture” Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, is shown with a wreath of wheat and a cornucopia, while the goddess Flora gathers flowers in the foreground.
Group six is “War” Freedom, also known as Columbia, (America) is directly below Washington. freedom is being assisted by the eagle (America’s national bird)
obviously the pagan deities have gotten their share of the glory in this rotunda. seven different demons are mentioned, each of them are teaching and instructing men, they are taking credit for all the advancements of men.
I want to look at the capitol cornerstone which was placed in 1793 by George Washington, he placed the stone on a silver plate , marking the date as the 13th year of American independence, the first year of his second term, and the year of Masonry 5793. the year of Masonry is found to be 4000 + 1793 = 5793. nearly all American government buildings, at least stone ones, are dated back to 4000 BC . This includes federal, state county and city buildings. (the slide you see is a state capitol). The US capitol does not reference the year of our Lord 1793 which would tie it to the Lord. but rather a pre-Christ date is used. The date of Masonry is also called (by masons) A.L. anno Lucis, year of Lucifer or, the year of light, and the year of the Lodge, and the year of the world, anno mundi. All of these descriptions point to the same point in time. what does this date commemorate? I want to read from the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, written by Arthur E. Waite under the headings of Nimrod and Babel.
“It will astonish most students of Masonry to learn that in the eighteenth century the eldest son of Ham – who is heard of in scripture chiefly as a mighty hunter before the Lord” was not only regarded by the erudition (air-rue-dition) of the period as founder of the Babylonian monarchy but was grand master of all Masons and the builder of many cities in Shinaar. (page 181)
“as regards Masonry, Babel of course represented a Masonic enterprise…When they (the people) reached an abiding place in the land of Shinaar, it is affirmed that they dwelt therein as Noachides (noah kides) being the first characteristic name of Masons. It was here they built their high tower of confusion” (page 61)
in the Masonic encyclopedia published by the Masonic History Company (1924) under the heading “Nimrod” is found this statement from the Cooke manuscript.
“And this same Nembroth began the towre of Babilon and he taught to his werkemen the craft of Masonrie, and he had with him many Masons more than forty thousand. And he loved and cherished them well.”
The Masons obviously felt close to Nimrod and loved by him.
The year of the Lodge or Masonry: Started with the first city and the tower of Babel.
The year of the World: The world system started with Nimrods Babel, The old world ended at the flood. The Mason know that the earth did not start in 4000 BC. Mundi refers to the world system not the earth.
Anno Lucis or year of Lucifer: Masons believe they are connected to Nimrod and Babel, and the continuing Babylonian monarchy, or the progress of civilization. Nimrod is the earthly King of Babylon, but there is a spiritual king of Babylon as well, he is found in Isaiah Chapter 14
(4)”…thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say how hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!”
(12) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! (son of the beginning)
Lucifer is a fallen angel and was present when Nimrod started his Civilization and is the Spiritual King of Babylon. He is also called “Bel” the sun like God, he is the personification of the sun, he is seen in the new Testament as the God of this world “Kosmos”. He has several symbols that represent him, The stag, pine tree, The sun disk, Pan the horned god, the goat, Heleos the serpent, But his main symbol is the eye. The triad is symbolic of deity and Bel’s eye is usually seen inside the triad. (this is his symbol) The Egyptian god Osiris also uses the same symbol because he is the same god. (different tradition) Baal, of the Canaanites is also the same god. In my book “America the Daughter of Babylon” I dedicate an entire chapter to Lucifer, and his character.
The year of Lucis (Lucifer) is the year of the founding of the world “Kosmos” which was the establishment of the first City, Babel.
So the capitol of the United States and most government buildings in her are tied by date to the founding of Babel.
I feel obligated to give you enough information about the Masonic lodge for you to make sense out of why the Masons would feel so strongly about these symbols which tie America to Babel. This is not an expose’ of the lodge, but I will quote Masonic documents and let you decide for yourself.
First of all, The lodge is an initiate order, you must take an oath that you will never reveal what you are taught or what you do in the lodge. The lodge has 33 degrees or steps which you can take to raise within the lodge, it is progressive. The lodge has two different legs or paths to reach the top. Everyone must go through the first three levels, this called the blue lodge. But after that a candidate can choose either or both paths to the top, or stop at the Master Mason level. Upon reaching the top within the Scottish rite there is an honorary 33rd degree that can be bestowed upon the initiate. As you can see in the diagram (which was taken from the front of a Masonic Bible) the head of the lodge is the eye.
There is a Masonic manual called “Morals and dogma” the manual was prepared for the “Supreme Council of the thirty third degree” and was published under their authority. The doctrines or dogma it espouses would be as close to the true beliefs that the Lodge holds, they would be the secrets of freemasonry. This very large book was never meant to be read by non-masons, but over the years the book has made its way into the public. The biggest secret kept in the lodge is that masonry is a RELIGION.
P. 213 “Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion, and its teachings are instruction in religion.
P. 744 “All truly Dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it: everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the illuminati..is borrowed from the Kabalah; All Masonic associations owe to it their secrets and their symbols.”
P.741 “Masonry is a search after light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
P210 “There are profounder meanings concealed in the symbols of this degree (Royal Arch of Solomon, 13th degree) connected with the philosophical system of the Hebrew Cabalists, which you will learn hereafter, if you should be so fortunate as to advance. They are unfolded in the higher degrees.”
The Kabalah is a Babylonian/Hebrew magic system which is believed to have been developed by the Israelites and the Chaldeans during the Jewish Babylonian captivity. The heart of doctrines were probably developed by king Solomon during his backslidden years and was then carried to Babylon. It is central in the Babylonian religion which came from Neo-Babylon. Kabalah means “secret” or hidden doctrines, the doctrine are primarily communicated by symbols, only the worthy initiate is given the meaning.
By now you are saying that this is crazy, I know a mason and he assures me that this is all made up, he’s not worshipping at some Babylonian altar. Or maybe you are a blue lodge mason and you know that nothing like this is taught.
Let me again quote “Moral and Dogma” “The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry…. It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain,” P.819
the Masonic initiate is under an oath, binding his body to mutilation if he should ever reveal the secrets of Masonry.
One of the great lights of freemasonry is the bible, there are others like the Koran, but the Biblical meanings and doctrines are much different than traditional Christian.
“The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in an incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the Hebrews… the Hebrew books were written only to recall to memory the traditions: and they were written in symbols unintelligible to the profane… Thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather uncomprehended by, the Christians; a collection they (Christians) say, of monstrous absurdities; a monument, the adept says, wherein is everything that the genius of philosophy and that of religion have ever formed or imagined of the sublime;” P.744, 745
Many of our founding fathers were Masons, Washington, as you’ve seen, he became the worshipful master of a lodge in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin to name just a few.
I want to close this session at this point, but next session I want to list and tie everything together. This session on American symbolism is only part what’s in my book.
Thank you.
