BEWARE
THE MARK
The
following is a summary of the well-documented information on the interlaced
triangles, the Double Divinity, Macrocosmos or Jewish Star and the important
elements, which bear relationship to our subject.
The FACTS are:
v
The
two interlaced triangles represent the sexual organs in the act of
procreation, or spirit and matter in equilibrium.
Spirit
in the phallic cults is the active-male
principle, (red
+) the Compass
in Freemasonry - while matter
is the passive-female
principle (blue
-) the Square
in Freemasonry. It is a symbolic
representation of the sex force, or the New Age “sacred serpent” KUNDALINI
and is a deliberate perversion of the pure Love of God.
v
This
very star was mentioned and condemned by the Father of our Lord Jesus in Amos
5:26 and it was called by Him, “the star of your god, Molech” (Baal).
Reference to Amos 5:26 and the people having it in the form of an idol in the
wilderness was also made in Acts 7:43. Here
it was called the Star of Remphan. All these names refer to the phallic god
Saturn or SATAN.
v
The
foregoing verifies that it was therefore in existence long before the time of
Solomon. He took this symbol upon himself when he went into idolatry, and it
became known as the “Seal (or mark) of Solomon” in all magic and
witchcraft.
v
It
has proven, self-confessed links to universal Masonry, which is directed and
totally controlled by the powerful Independent Order of the B’NAI
BRITH (sons of the cut, or covenant).
v
The
“HEX” or Six-Pointed Star became the symbol of the SABBATARIANS
the Jewish mystics of the Cabbala, and was knowingly adopted from these
sources as the symbol for ZIONISM
–
Political Judaism.
v Judaism was a newly formalized belief system of the Pharisees, which arose in Babylon with the commitment of the oral "tradition of the elders" (of which Christ continually denounced) to writing after the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70. Judaism is a man-made religion of Talmudic tradition and Cabbalistic occult superstition, which represents the institutionalised nullification of ALL Biblical law and doctrine. Judaism's God is NOT the God of the Bible, but the strange gods of the Talmud and the religious self-worship they inculcate.
v
The first Babylonian power came
into existence around 2600 B.C. This
empire was subsequently overthrown by the Medes/Persians about 589 B.C.
In recent excavations of Ur and Sumer, an Acadian seal was found
depicting the descendants of Seth, thrusting a seven-headed serpent with a
spear - one of three symbols representing the old Babylonian Empire, which
included the six-pointed star. (of Rephaim)
The
illegal Jewish State of Israel was created by the UN on May 14, 1948, and
intentionally adopted the occult symbol of the Six-Pointed Star (of Ashteroth
or Astarte) which now adorns the Knesset (their Parliament) and today is
proudly displayed on the Israeli flag and elsewhere, requiring overt Jewish
Cabbalistic recognition. Thus
a deliberately pagan, occult symbol has become the international recognition
mark for today’s JEWS
next to none of whom are Hebrews or Israelites descended from Abraham, Isaac
or Jacob. Even less follow
the Biblical Law and the prophets, that have long been supplanted by the lewd
and blasphemous TALMUD.
A
typical example of arrogant Jewish “chutzpah” and outright blasphemy, can
be seen in the following unbelievable quotes:
"A
Jew, by the fact that he belongs to the chosen people and is circumcised,
possesses so great a dignity that no one, not even an angel, can share
equality with him. In fact, he is considered almost the equal of God."
(Pranaitis, I.B., The Talmud Unmasked, Imperial Academy of Sciences, St.
Petersburg, Russia, 1892, p. 60).
The
commands of the rabbis are more important than the commands of the Bible.
Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished by being
boiled in hot execrement in hell. Auburn
21b (p. 149-150)
A
rabbi debates God and defeats Him. God admits the rabbi won the debate.
Baba Mezia 59b. (p. 353.
According
to Hindu belief, the Sixth “Chakra” (Third Eye Chakra), is the
centre of inner sight - it controls clairvoyance and mental activity. The
colour related to this chakra is INDIGO,
a combination of red and blue,
or the interaction of Spirit and Matter
as depicted by the hexagram. Incidentally, the third eye chakra is located in
the centre of the forehead.
The
number 6 was stamped all over the old mysteries.
The great “secret symbol” consisted of the three letters SSS, because the
letter S in the Greek alphabet was the symbol of the figure 6.
Alpha=1, Beta=2, Gamma=3, Delta=4, Epsilon=5, but when it came to 6,
another letter was introduced! Not the next - the sixth letter Zeta,
but a different letter, a peculiar form of S, called "stigma,"
or the so-called “serpent letter,” where the serpent was always displayed
in the pagan arts as an emblem of the Sun god.
What
is also interesting here is that the Dollar sign, ($) is in fact a disguised
triple S form, sometimes written as SSS, or $.
From
the “Theosophical Society’s Glossary of
Definitions comes this for the letter S:
“S - The nineteenth
letter; numerically, sixty.
In Hebrew it is the fifteenth
letter, Samech,
held as holy because "the sacred name of god is Samech"
Samech is just one of the many names for the Jewish
(Sun) god of the Cabbala.
Now
the word stigma, means a mark, according to Strong’s
definition: “ A mark pricked in or branded
upon the body. To ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers bore the name or
the stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their
bodies to indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were
even some devotee's who stamped themselves in this way with the token of their
gods.” Hence stigma
came to be used of scars or wound-prints, and it is thus used by
Paul of his scars, which he regarded as the tokens of his sufferings, a
reminder of the marks which he bore on his body for the sake of his Lord and
Master, and marking him as belonging to the one who had bought him (Gal 6:17).
Also
the term or word HEX, designates a witch’s spell, which has a long
historical association with the connotation of the number six.
The Greek hex, and the Latin sex
cognate with the Egyptian seven, "to
embrace, to copulate." The number 6 is also associated with Venus,
the goddess of love and earthly passion.
Six almost universally represented the number of sex - of the union
between the male
and female,
which is why Christian authorities labelled six "the
number of sin." Pythagoreans, on the other hand, called six the
perfect number, or The Mother. One
of its Egyptian forms seshemu, - "sexual
intercourse" – illustrated in a variety of hieroglyphics of male
and female genitals in conjunction, is always represented by the two
interlaced triangles or pictographically hidden as the Square and Compass in
freemasonry and similarly shown in many other ways for a host of other sects.
In
countless passages throughout the Bible, the number six has always been
associated with imperfection and represents Godless, carnal man.
It is the number of a man that is destitute of God, the man who is knowingly
without Christ, or one who is an avowed anti-Christ.
666,
symbolises the attempt by the ultimate, sinful man – SATAN, ever wishing to
become GOD. So then, the
Antichrist would have the triple imperfection, in his religious, political and
social dimensions, symbolising the climax of the ultimate representation of
man's total and complete failure, depravity and wickedness. “How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut
down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will be like the most High.”(Isaiah
14:12-14) “Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
(2 Thess.2:4)
Most
importantly, the Hexagram is also a
clever, graphic form of 666 - a feature
that uniquely belongs to this
symbol and none other. It is
used extensively by a variety of Black Magic, Witchcraft and New Age,
so-called “channelling” (occult) groups for the invocation and/or the
conjuring up of demons. As a
pictographic emblem, (a) the six-pointed star, contains a six, within a six,
within a six. (Count the sides of
each triangle facing the clockwise direction, the sides facing the
counter-clockwise direction, and the third six - the sides of the inner
hexagon).

The
Hexagram of Fire
(d) The
Hexagram of Earth (a) |
The
Hexagram of Air
(b) The
Hexagram of Water (c) |
Further,
in his classic work, “The
History of Magick” the avowed Talmudist and revered French
Cabbalistic sage Eliphas Levi, much quoted by Albert Pike in “Morals and
Dogma,” reveals that the most significant graphic representation of the
number 6 is when a common (EARTH) Hexagram (a) is represented with a
common base, forming a diamond – AIR
(b).
Or
alternatively when their tips touch forming an hourglass shape – WATER
(c). Or a partial overlap, with
the base of the upper, passing through the upper one-third point of the lower
– FIRE (d).
If we look again at a standard six pointer, we have all three sets of
external triangles connected by their apexes.
Also, by connecting all the internal opposite points within the
internal hexagon thus formed, alas we find one pair of triangles with their
tips touching and two pairs with common base-lines.
A multiple representation of 666 only to…“him
that hath understanding that can CALCULATE the number . . . .”
HARRY
POTTER AND WITCHCRAFT
The
truth of the satanic nature of the Harry Potter series can be easily seen by
anyone who is reasonably familiar with basic occult principles.
In these books, we see standard Judeo-Masonic beliefs and practices
being openly taught to children. The
author, J.K. Rowling, has publicly stated that she intended for her Harry
Potter books to be read by children approximately 10 years and up. Yet the
books are wildly popular amongst children as young as age 5 - and perhaps even
younger. For five years the
author worked on the first book as she plotted out the entire seven-novel
series, one for each year of Harry's education at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry.
We
indeed see standard Witchcraft philosophies and world views espoused, together
with occult beliefs about death and reincarnation, including the current
"morality" teaching that there is no absolute right or wrong, that
the "ends justify the means" - teachings straight from the pages of
the Babylonian Talmud.
But
as wild as children seem to be about Harry, no one is happier about the
phenomenon than the old-school Satanists, who were struggling to recruit new
members prior to the publication of the first Potter book in 1997.
“Harry
in an absolute godsend to our cause,”
said
High Priest “Egan” of the First Church of Satan in Salem, MA.
“An organization like ours thrives on new blood - no pun intended -
and we've had more applicants than we can handle lately." In
1995, it was estimated that some 100,000 Americans, mostly adults, were
involved in devil-worship of some sort. Today, more than 14 million children
alone belong to the Church of Satan, thanks largely to the unassuming boy
wizard from 4 Privet Drive. Yes,
the numbers ARE horrific, but the total sales of Harry Potter books, plus the
natural hand-me-down factor where many people read a book that has already
been purchased, easily equals or exceeds this staggering figure of 14 million.
But,
most horribly, we see depictions of Satanism that are truly the end of this
age. We notice the evil Voldemort
drinking the blood of the Unicorn. Not
only is drinking of blood forbidden in Scripture, but Satanists do it
consistently. Further, this
drinking of the blood of the unicorn, (a symbol of the New Age Movement)
delivers a very strong message as to how people will relate to and ultimately
accept the machinations of the coming Antichrist.
The
“Sorcerer's Stone" is also called the "Philosopher's Stone",
and is purely Cabbalistic in nature. Rosicrucianism
as an example, teaches that an Initiate will pass through five stages to
become the highest Adept possible, to be most proficient in exercising the
power of Satanism. They call this
process the "Five Stages In The Transmutation of the Soul.”
The final stage is depicted by the Phoenix Bird; the Adept is then said
to have achieved the "Sorcerer's Stone."
Thus, the fact that the term "Sorcerer's Stone" is the main
title of the fifth book in this series, (and now a highly acclaimed movie)
suggests that the ultimate goal of all students at Hogwarts is to achieve the
holy Grail of the Sorcerer's Stone.
The
book “The Sorcerer's Stone,” is the final stage in the occult drive to
achieve eternal life. In this
volume, the ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerer's
Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The stone will transform
any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make
the drinker immortal. It’s also
very interesting that Rowling has made the creator of the Sorcerer's Stone 666
years old? As we have seen many
times in this study, 666
is synonymous with antichrist and his Mark.
[Revelation 13:18] And since Rowling ties this number to the Elixir of
Life, Harry Potter is clearly teaching children that the way to achieve
eternal life is to obey the antichrist and take his Mark.
Here
we include an interesting and revealing extract from respected New Age Guru,
Kris Sherwood’s non-fiction work called:“The
Philosophers Stone.” “The
Philosopher’s Stone is an ancient symbol that originates in the roots of
Hermetic philosophy and the alchemical arts. It is a metaphorical symbol of
ultimate accomplishment. It represents the reward to the quest for a ‘higher
purpose’; an allegorical concept of refinement of an element to its
perfection. And as such, to the medieval alchemist it was the catalyst in the
long sought after magical process that could transmute lead into gold, and its
resultant reward: The Philosopher’s Stone.
In a spiritual sense, attaining The Philosopher’s Stone is a metaphor
for ones’ personal evolution toward perfection of the soul. It is the prize
for achieving spiritual enlightenment. It’s the ‘coming forth as gold’;
the ’pearl of great price’; being one with Cosmic Consciousness; having
undeniable personal experience of God.
A graphic image found in alchemical manuscripts of the Philosopher’s
Stone is that of a six-pointed star which In 1997, breathtakingly presented (as
a perfectly formed crop-circle) at
the foot of Silbury Hill (Fig. 1). It
was the magnificent ‘Fractal Star of David’ A
"This
Star is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the
Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again means
the Star of the Son of man."
GaiaMind
The
official definition from the “Hermetic Order of
the Golden Dawn.” Stone
of the Philosophers: “A symbol of true spiritual attainment and
illumination. The search for the Philosopher’s Stone is the search for
ultimate truth and purity. The transmutation of humanity’s lower nature into
the Higher Self.”
In
the “Key to the Gnosis” by Nick Sandberg, we have yet another explanation
of the Philosophers Stone as something truly desirable in man’s search for
the ultimate “enlightenment”:
“The ancient science of alchemy purports to relate the process by
which an individual may acquire the ultimate "Elixir of Life" - a
magical potion believed to confer on the user both access to
superconsciousness and, eventually, physical immortality. This Elixir, flows
from the Philosopher's Stone, once the former has been confected by means of
an elaborate and highly mystical process. An increasingly open secret amongst
those who still interest themselves in this ancient art is that the processes
described are largely metaphorical. All of initial elements that need to be
gathered together - the various implements and reagents - are in fact esoteric
disciplines that the initiate must undertake in order that he prepare his body
to produce the fabled Elixir.”
The
key to this ultimate deception in the never-ending propaganda war for the
souls of men through the taking of the Mark, is in the Christianising of
Judeo-Masonic/occult symbolism. An
example of this perversion is in the depiction of the “Jewish Star” (the
interlaced triangles) as a representation of Jesus Christ –
the ultimate blasphemy!
Some random examples of typical fuzzy, church-establishment logic, generally believed by their blinded Judaised sheeple within, can be seen from the following random quotes taken recently from the web. The first is a classic from Rick Chamberlin, where he asks a pre-answered question; “Is the Star of David Kosher?” “Yeshua said, "I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star." Perhaps, just perhaps, the Star of David represents not only Israel and the Jewish people, but even the Messiah Yeshua. After Yeshua's birth in Bethlehem, some wise men [magi] arrived from the east in Jerusalem saying, Where is He who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and have come to worship Him." These wise men were aware of the prophecy of Balaam in Numbers 24. Could it be that they saw the Star of David?” Another classic case of the inability to correctly distinguish between the terms “Israel” and “The Jews.”
From
“The Archetypal Mandala of the Star of David” by Margaret Starbird, comes
something a little closer to the truth:
“The mandala of the hexagram, also known as the "Star of
David" is an archetypal symbol for the sacred union of the opposite
energies, it is the "yin-yang" of Western civilization.
Formed by the intertwining of the "fire" and
"water" triangles (the male "blade" and the female
"chalice") this symbol represents the masculine and feminine
principles in perfect union, the "sacred marriage" or "hieros
gamous" of the ancient world. The Jewish Cabbala suggests that the Ark of
the Covenant contains, in addition to the tables of the Ten Commandments,
"a regular hexagram representing a man and woman in intimate embrace.
Since "Sacred Union" is the source of all life on this
planet, the six-pointed star uniting the archetypal male and female triangles
has long been acknowledged as the model for balance and wholeness. Medieval
Alchemists called the Star the "Philosopher's stone," adding a tiny
dot on the upper right hand point to represent the presence of God and
guidance of the Divine Spirit. It is the "missing link" of the
sacred marriage between Christianity and Juadism.
It’s rising now to bless and enlighten us, and is truly a gift for
all peoples!”
Quote
number three – with a slightly different emphasis: “The
Star of David is made up of two equilateral triangles. One triangle is
pointing down, and the other triangle is pointing up. The triangle that is
pointing down is God's triangle and represents the trinity of Soul, Body, and
Spirit, or God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit reaching down
to man. The triangle that is pointing up is man's triangle and also represents
the trinity of Soul, Body, and Spirit, but of man reaching up to God.
- The Star of David is also the symbol that fully represents the
spiritual intercourse referenced in John chapter 17 where Jesus Christ is in
God, man is in Jesus Christ, and thereby man is in God through Jesus Christ.
The symbol for the Messiah, the Greatest King, or King of Kings; who
would come from the lineage of David, who would be fully God and also fully
man throughout eternity can only be Jesus the Christ - the God/Man.
The Star of David is and can only be the symbol for Jesus Christ.”
Quote
number four – the standard “New Age” version:
“The six-pointed star, the Star of David, has been the symbol of
Judaism and the Jewish culture for ages.
The meaning of this symbol can be interpreted in various ways.
In light of the revelations contained within The Aquarian Gospel, I
present the following interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the
six-pointed star: God is Truth.
He has three attributes: Strength, Wisdom and Love.
An appropriate symbol for God is a triangle.
What better way to symbolize God than with a simple, equilateral
triangle, standing upright? Structural
experts say the equilateral triangle is the strongest shape.
Wisdom and Love stand on the foundation of Strength.
A triangle is simple and uncomplicated, as is God.
He is pure strength, pure wisdom and pure love.
Master teachers tell us that Man has God’s image within his soul, but
that Man fell from his position, because he strayed, by disobeying His
Father’s command not to bite into the apple (of physical pleasure).
Masters also tell us that Man, in his fallen condition, is Truth
reversed. What better way to
symbolize Man than by a triangle identical to that of God, but inverse: upside
down? If we overlay these two
triangles, we have a six-pointed star, the Star of David.
This overlay symbolizes that God, forever upright, never abandons His
fallen Children, but remains linked to Mankind, in an ever-present pose of
upright Truth. He stands silently
upright, waiting for Man to right himself.
What better way to symbolize the religion and the culture chosen by God
to deliver to the world His message of Salvation than by the Star of David?
And, what better way to symbolize the imminent reunification of
Judaism and Christianity than with the Star of David, combined with the
cross of Christ standing firmly uprigh, upon the foundation of strength,
enclosed by wisdom and Love?”
When
asked in Luke 21:25 for what sign would mark the "Great
Tribulation," Christ replies, "there
shall be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars."
From “The
Alpha and the Omega,” by Jim A. Cornwell – chapter 6,
" The Star Of Bethlehem and
Coma Berenices " “The
birth, life and death of Jesus Christ had been prophesied centuries earlier.
Around the year 4 B.C., according to the astrological records of the
Qumran Priests, of an ancient village of Palestine on the north-western shore
of the Dead Sea in the West Bank east of Jerusalem and noted for the caves in
which the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. They
recorded that a comet produced a heavenly spectacle, and there was a fiery
conjunction of several planets in the zodiacal sign of Pisces.
Naturally this could have been simply assumed as the Star of Bethlehem.
It is significant that the Babylonian Ideograph or a graphic symbol for
‘star’ was the same as for ‘God,’ although for ‘God’ it was
repeated three times stressing the close link between the gods and the stars.
In most cuneiform inscriptions and hieroglyphics it is well established
that the sign for God was always a star.”
To
the adepts, the Star of David is a potent symbol of the interaction of the
Divine with the mortal, of god (Satan) with Humankind.
Ancient
Astrologers have always held that the Macrocosm (Six Pointed Star) reflects
the Microcosm (Five Pointed Star). Where the smallest particle of reality
mirrors the design of the largest particle of reality. Electrons for example,
spinning around the nucleus of the atom bears a striking resemblance to the
planets spinning around the Sun.
Yet
another New Age website explains that the Star of Bethlehem was a planetary
configuration which formed a Star of David upon a Cross. It postulates that
this heavenly sign, which involves the esoteric knowledge of sacred geometry,
was only observed by the magi who were astrologers or high adepts in the
mystery schools of Babylon. Can
you now see where it’s all heading? For

THE
PENTAGRAM/HEXAGRAM CONNECTION
We
are continually admonished by our gracious God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ to “be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves,” and it is for this
reason that I tend to labour on certain important issues.
We MUST understand basic occult principles so as to be able to
adequately defend and reinforce our own “rightly divided” Christian Truth,
and know WHY we reject the subtle and clever satanic counterfeit from the
father of all lies.
In
both the western and eastern esoteric traditions, natural/Achetypal man is
viewed as the so-called “Pentagram of the elements,” as a being with five
limbs, and five basic forces composing his being. These are the traditional
elements of fire, water,
air, earth, and spirit.
The spirit
aspect can either be directed towards the sexual forces symbolized
by the inverse pentagram, or Satanism – Black Magic, or it can be directed
towards the spiritual
realms, those of White Magic. Man
can become developed to the degree that the spirit
(defined as the consciousness
aspect) can be directed to either the sexual or the spiritual
side at will, or to both at the same time. When a man attains this degree
of “balanced development,” he becomes the Hexagram (or the Yin/Yang
in the eastern tradition). The sexual organs either male or female become the
crucial sixth part, which is missing
in the Pentagram.
According
to an official WICCA
Website, the Pentagram - or Five-Pointed Star,
. “is a familiar symbol of Paganism,
occultism, and witchcraft. In
America it is always portrayed with a single point upwards, because with two
points upward, it is a symbol used by American Satanists. In Britain,
two-points-upwards used to be the symbol of the Wiccan Second Degree; British
Satanists have always used the inverted crucifix. But many British Wiccans are
abandoning the two-points-upward Second Degree symbol as communication with
American Pagans increases.”
From
the “Gnostic Order and Temple of Satanas
“– The official European Website of the International Grand Lodge and the
European Grand Lodge, comes this very interesting explanation for Satanism,
keeping in mind that the Hexagram, in the from as we know it, is called the
“Earth Hexagram.” “Satanism
is a religion based upon the earthly needs of the individual. It realizes mans
need to express himself in the form of religion. It therefore makes existence
itself that very religion. The practitioner of Satanic Magick understands that
without earthly power he is at a serious disadvantage. It is the here and now
that concerns him. He is upon this earth, and upon this earth, he must live.
Very few scholars will argue that Satan is the “Lord of the earth”.
It is he that holds material wealth in his hands. The
Christian is swayed from material and earthly goods by their God for this very
reason. For, a taste of success would deter them from the bond of
slavery that is characteristic of the Christian Gnosis.
When performing Satanic Magick, you are establishing your own godhead
by the identity of yourself with the central source of power. You invoke the
energy that we call Lord of the Earth, therefore becoming that energy and in
the name of that force manifesting the will from the elemental powers that you
have raised.” The last paragraph especially is esoteric
Mumbo-Jumbo for “demonization,” - pure and simple. Eventually leading to
possession of body, soul and spirit and that of the total destruction of the
individual by self-induced satanic forces, or evil spirits.
Note
carefully the “Torch of Illumination” on the forehead of the “hex
goat,” in the “seeing eye” portion of the upper triangle.
Someone
else who regularly converses with his “inner guides” is occultist and
spiritist Benjamin Rowe. From his
“The Beast and the Star – A Vision of the
Abyss” comes this:
“At the time these visions began, I was meditating on the sexual
process in human beings, specifically on the subjective aspects of the act as
it is experienced by the two sexes. It suddenly came to me that there is a
progressive development in man from being the pentagram to being the hexagram.
Natural man is viewed as the pentagram of the elements, as a being with
five limbs, and five basic forces composing his being. These are the
traditional elements of fire, air, water; earth, and spirit. The spirit aspect
can either be directed towards the sexual forces (symbolized by the inverse
pentagram) or it can be directed towards the spiritual realms.
It was shown to me that Man can become developed to the degree that the
spirit (defined as the consciousness aspect) can be directed to either the
sexual or the spiritual side at will, or to both at the same time. When
a man attains this degree of development, he becomes the hexagram.
The sexual organs. male or female. become the sixth point which is
missing in the pentagram.”
This
is the counterfeit of the Biblical “Mystery of Redemption” and of the
“Great Work,” the Uniting of the Microcosm and the Macrocosm - Man united
with the “god of this world.”
Aleister
Crowley, is surely the most famous Satanist and black magician of the
twentieth-century, where he
considered himself to be the avatar of the ”Age of Horus”.
So debased and foul was this
demonised monster that he was once dubbed the most evil man in the world and
was even called a “beast” by his own mother.
Crowley is significant here because his ideology and OTO
organization is considered to be the root and mother cult responsible for
birthing classical and neo-Satanism into the U.S. and throughout the western
world.
From
the Ordo Antichristianus Illuminati
a supporting member of the Aleister
Crowley Foundation, comes this: “The
O.·A.·I.·is a Spiritual Order seeking to establish a Universal Religion
that is dedicated to the total freedom of every individual and is therefore
the antithesis of Christianity as a religious institution . . .
Members of the
The
Unicursal Hexagram (shown above) is of fairly recent European origin and is
known by Wiccans as the “Psychic Star.”
It is a representation of the New (Aquarian) Age and the so-called
“energies of the earth and the universal spirit consciousness.” This
is the “Initiates” hexagram or Crowley’s “Hexagram of the Beast 666,”
the ultimate union of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm –
a representation of the truly “Illuminised Man.”
THE
WORLD CHURCH
In
the “Search
for Truth” by occultist Steve Gamble, we can see how Universal
Spiritualism will ultimately unite the whole world under a Luciferian
Confederacy by the syncretising of the world’s religions.
“In
Cabbalistic Teachings, the Ascended Masters have generally been the founders
of religions, such as Hermes Trismegistus, Buddha, Zoroaster, Moses and Jesus
for example. In Hebrew they are known as the Ishim who form a brotherhood to
watch over mankind. In Catholicism they are known as the Communion of Saints,
or, as they are called in Judaism, the Community of Israel. They are
religiously known as an Assembly of Glorified Souls. It is this Assembly that
has introduced into the world the knowledge in different symbols and rites of
the world’s religions. Is this the true White Brotherhood in the Cabbalistic
Tradition we see in many spiritual teachings today?”
Why
would so many Christian martyrs willingly die, mostly in terrible agony, in
order to proclaim one of the many alternative ways to God?
It is patently obvious that Christianity does not accept religious
syncretism, simply because of the many exclusive statements made by its
founder such as, “I
am the way, the truth and the life. NO
ONE comes to the Father except through me”
(John 14,6). Liar,
Lunatic or Lord – YOU CHOOSE, because it doesn’t get much clearer than
that! Spiritual truth is not, nor
ever has been a matter of both-and
(both Christianity and other religions) but rather one of, either-or.
World religions simply cannot all be equally true.
This is deception at its best!
A
DECEITFUL DEVIL
Christianity
in its theological evolution has followed the same tragic road as the early
Pharisees in its tendency to elevate tradition to a position of authority
equal to or greater than Scripture.
As a glaring example, the Roman Catholic Church has its own untouchable and
sacred body of tradition that functions in a similar way to that of the Jewish
Talmud: it is THE standard by which Scripture is to be interpreted. Thereby,
subjective tradition AGAIN supplants the voice of Scripture as secondary, and
thus nullifies God’s spoken Word. No
man, no church, no religious authority has any warrant from God to augment the
inspired Word of Scripture, or to alter the plain sense of it by its
subjection to the rigors of a "traditional" meaning not found in the
Word itself. The Bible as the inspired Word is to be interpreted
supernaturally through the agency of the Holy Spirit, by one that has entered
into a dynamic relationship with their Saviour and Lord.
Satan understands this well and cleverly emulates a complete
counterfeit with an almost equal supernatural brilliance through “another
spirit” - his obliging horde of doctrinal demons.
The
Lord Jesus placed heavy emphasis on the incredibly deceitful nature of the
devil.
In one of His many confrontations with the Pharisees, our Lord declared that
their inability to recognise the truth was due to the fact that they were
clearly OF the devil.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John
8:44).
Dr.
William Hendriksen comments: (The Gospel of John, Baker, p.61)
“The devil, then, is the very wellspring of lies, the creator of
falsehoods . . . . When he lies, he is the original. When he does not lie
(Acts 16:16,17), he quotes or even plagiarises; but even then he gives the
borrowed words a false setting in order to create an illusion. He ever strives
to lie and to deceive, and this he does in order to murder.”
By
deluding himself into believing that he could claim a position of equality
with the Most High, Satan fell from his position of high honour. He became the
"Father of Lies," depending on a web of self-deceit and illusion to
maintain his ultimate fantasy of equality with God.
By claiming this equality, the devil is forced to lie to himself and
about every aspect of reality. His rebellion has locked him into an irrational
posture in which he desperately denies the evidence of his own hopelessness
and meaninglessness as a mere created being.
SELF
THE PRIORITY
The
devil's position is the same as that of an extremely self-centred individual
who clings to an unrealistic view of himself.
For example, an egotistical person who thinks they have a great singing
voice will not accept any help or constructive criticism that implies the
contrary. Rather than admitting
the possibility that they might be wrong in their very subjective estimate of
their own ability, they will tend to associate only with people who sympathise
and encourage them in their self-delusion.
The psychological term for such irrational wilfulness is narcissism,
and we are all aware of people who to a greater or lesser degree exhibit this
tendency. However most people
eventually accept reality, (however painful that may be) or they defy it by
either withdrawing into their own inner world, or they
attempt to reconstruct reality so that it fits their false ideas.
This
is somewhat similar to people who are caught up in various cults and other
forms of group doctrinal deception. This
form of bondage is what I would term “Spellbinding,” that of being
spiritually enslaved by demonic forces whose job it is to continually maintain
the lie that the rest of the Battalion is always out of step with the one and
only true soldier – them!
The
devil is the ultimate narcissist and has the added advantage like none other,
in the power to supernaturally bind the minds of men to himself.
He is powerful and wilful enough to attempt to reconstruct all of God's
perfectly created reality in order to keep his false sense of self-importance.
Satan does not deceive others in a manner of one who knows the truth
and merely seeks to mislead. Satan
lies because his own considerable intelligence has been utterly darkened by
his perverted will. He is the
"Father of Lies" because he has deluded himself and wilfully
persists in his own self-delusions.
DIVERSION
FROM REALITY
Satan’s
scheme is to constantly divert us from Biblical reality
into HIS version. And
since Jesus openly claimed amongst other things that Truth was the embodiment
of Him, then it stands to reason that any dilution of truth, no matter how
seemingly insignificant, means a lesser and lesser appropriation of Christ and
a tendency to gradually slide in the direction of the enemy. The adversary
achieves this deliberately and subtly, taking whatever time and means are
necessary to snare the unsuspecting to substitute palatable lies, for at times
- unpalatable truths.
Imagine
now if you will, this highly intelligent and invisible fallen angel of Satan,
a malignant creature, the Bible describes as
full of wisdom and beauty
that has existed since before the dawn of time, together with his myriad of
loyal accomplices that have directed the affairs of carnal man since the
beginning of recorded history. Down
through the centuries the Evil One has influenced countless Kings, raised and
destroyed great empires, placed his corrupting mark on every known culture in
the world and is primarily responsible for sending countless billions to a
Christless eternity! This then is
our adversary and we are absolutely no match for him, without the protection
available to us through a continual and abiding faith IN CHRIST and by the continuous
application of the truth of His Word in our lives.
CAN
A PERSON FALL FROM FAITH?
Please
consider this carefully!
If
we are justified by Faith, it should come as no surprise that the devil would
attempt to redefine "Faith,"
- yes?
Several
times, the Lord Jesus pointed to a condition of exceedingly great religious
darkness and apostasy prior to His second coming.
In Luke 18:8 He asks, "Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
Salvation, a greatly misunderstood term, is through ongoing
FAITH in Christ Jesus, where God’s grace is a result of that faith IN HIM.
Justification, righteousness, propitiation, and sanctification are all
out-workings of faith, as is overcoming and quenching the fiery
darts of the evil one.
When
a person receives Christ, they generally come to the cross with little
understanding, as they are worldly and carnal.
They usually have little knowledge, even though they may have been in
the church for many years. Only
now begins a process of learning and applying God’s Word, and through this
growth process comes submitting and overcoming.
As a person learns and submits to God’s truths, if the soil of his
heart is right, he begins to grow in faith, wisdom, and knowledge of, and
in The Lord. Faith then, is belief
in action as proven “doers” of the Word!
A
great amount of the Scripture in the New Testament is spent on exhorting the
“born-again” Christian, (a greatly misunderstood term) to
continue in THE faith; stand
fast in THE faith; hold fast to
THE faith; and many other verses that over and over convey this same
message, TO STAND!
Some may say that faith cannot be lost and that a person can never fall
from his faith and that it is impossible to turn from the faith.
We might ask, "Why does
the Bible over and over exhort us to continue in the faith, if it is not
possible to leave the faith? Why
do the Scriptures warn us about being entangled yet again with the . .
.“yoke of bondage?"
The
answers are simple: Yes, we CAN
turn from the faith! Yes, we CAN
cease to stand fast in the faith! Yes,
we CAN again be entangled with the yoke of bondage! Yes,
we CAN cease to hold fast to our confidence and hope! Yes,
we CAN cease from our profession of faith! Yes,
we CAN become tossed to and fro, as we were before we came to faith in Christ!
Yes indeed, our faith CAN
FAIL!
That is exactly what Satan wishes to cause to happen to every converted
Christian. That is why the Bible
continually exhorts us, to BEWARE!
Eternal
security teachers, represented by the bulk of our popular teachers today,
distort the Scriptures to allow for corrupting behaviour in the life of a
Christian with assurance that their sins, regardless of how severe, will not
exclude them from God's kingdom because of some vague “commitment” once
made earlier. Such "wolves
in sheep's clothing" are misleading multitudes to Hell, while they get
financially prosperous by promising their eager followers (with itching ears)
nothing but a false salvation,
under their twisted version of grace and the infinite work of Christ. These
grace distorters (Jude 3,4) are clearly described in the book of Jude and must
be opposed. These teachers
declare: “Therefore
being justified by faith . . ” (Rom.
5:1),
but they stop there! They never
proclaim the additional truth that a true believer can cease believing and
fall away (or die spiritually).
“They
on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and
these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation (testing)
fall away.” (Lk.
8:13). A
true believer can cease believing,
according to the Lord Jesus! Such
would make him an unbeliever.
Question: what did God Himself declare about the unbelieving?
He taught: “But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death. ”
(Rev. 21:8).
Moreover,
1 Pet. 1:9 adds important truth to this by stating:
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls.” Notice
that the end-reward of a consistent
faith that has endured endless trials in 1 Pet. 1:7, is the
salvation of our souls.
Hence, if our faith gets destroyed,
then there can be NO salvation for our souls in the end.
Paul
believed
a Christian could clearly have their faith shipwrecked
and told Timothy what he needed to do to prevent this from happening to
him: “Holding
faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have
made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto
Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.” (1
Tim. 1:19,20). Paul
knew that Timothy’s saving faith could become shipwrecked,
as Hymenaeus and Alexander’s faith did, and told him what to do to prevent
this from happening to himself. The implications of that are: (a) A
Christian has free will and human responsibilities under “grace” that can
affect our salvation. (b) A Christian cannot just throw off all holy
restraints and be negligent. It
is fallacious for a believer to think that since he has been somehow sealed by
the Holy Spirit he is eternally secure, or that God will continue to hold on
to him, even if he lets go of God.
Some
grace teachers declare
eternal life is a “gift” (Rom.
6:23) and a present tense possession (Jn.
6:47; 1 Jn. 5:12,13), but again they stop there! The following supplementing
Scriptures are not presented by them, which distorts the truth:
“That
being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the HOPE of
eternal life.” (Titus
3:7). The
one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap
destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap
eternal life. “Let
us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP” (Gal
6:8,9). “To
those who by PERSISTENCE IN DOING GOOD seek glory, honour and immortality, he
will give eternal life” (Rom.
2:7). Jesus and His
Apostles taught that eternal life is a
hope, yet to be reaped, in the world to come, but only if we do not give up
- sowing to please the Spirit and persist
in doing good! So to obtain eternal life,
we must persist in doing good (Rom. 2:7). This parallels how the Lord
described those who would, in the end, enter the Kingdom of God:
“Those
who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise
to be condemned” (Jn.
5:29). Some
will misuse Jude 24 by stating a partial truth about it as the whole truth:
“Now
unto him THAT IS ABLE to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless
before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 24).
They conclude that it is God who keeps
(rather than BEING ABLE to
keep) us from falling,
and they fail to see that “saved” people still
fall and even fall away for
whatever reason! See Mt. 11:6;
26:31,33; Lk. 8:13; Heb. 6:6; 2 Pet. 1:10; 3:17; etc.
Even 1 Cor. 15:2 and Col. 1:22,23, where all verses declare the true
gospel of grace has a conditional
security for the believer
attached to it! That was the
original message, as taught by the Lord Himself and His Apostles. Do
not be deceived by a false gospel and a counterfeit grace message, which is
built upon partial truths and Scripture taken from its context.
Rev
14:12 is a verse dealing with the end times, where many people will come to
saving faith in Christ. However,
when faced with either violent death through beheading, or worshipping the
image, there will be many who will give in and worship the Antichrist.
Their faith will fail, simply because of ignorance, fear and a lack of
a strong relationship with their Saviour.
Many others with a closer walk however, will stand fast.
Their faith will firmly hold as an anchor amongst all the surrounding
turmoil and they will most likely be killed as a result.
Paul knew very well that a person could lose their faith. He was
worried that this had already happened, simply because he of all people, well
understood the schemes of the Pharisees and feared that the faithful had been
thus tempted and that all his labour was for nothing.
If the believers were still standing, it was centred on one thing and
one thing alone - their faith IN CHRIST.
THOSE
BRAVE FEW
Throughout
the history of Christianity, there have always been those brave few who simply
refused to worship the state God, regardless!
They refused to affirm that Caesar was their Lord and were consequently
fed alive to the lions. When
Emperor Decius issued an edict commanding sacrifice to their gods, those who
wanted to live were allowed to be seen to burn just a little incense and were
then issued with a "Certificate of Compliance," their
confirmation of conformity with government law.
Around
111 AD, in the days of Pliny the Younger, (62-113 AD) and Emperor Trajan,
early Christians were subjected to the ultimate test of fidelity to the Lord
Jesus Christ -- worship the emperor's statue and the images of the pagan gods,
or be led away to execution. As
governor of Northern Asia Minor, Pliny the Younger wrote Trajan: . . “Meanwhile
I have taken this course with those who were accused before me as Christians:
I have asked them whether they were Christians. Those who confessed I asked a
second and a third time, threatening punishment. Those who persisted I ordered
led away to execution. For I did not doubt that whatever it was they admitted,
obstinacy and unbending perversity, certainly deserve to be punished ....
Others who were named by an informer said that they were Christians, and soon
afterward denied it, saying indeed, that they had been, but had ceased to be
Christians, some three years ago, some many years, and one even twenty years
ago. All these also not only worshipped your statue and the images of the
gods, but also CURSED CHRIST.” (A
Treasury of Early Christianity, edited by Anne Fremantle, New York: Viking
Press, 1953, pp. 253, 254).
Do
you REALLY believe that the above so-called “Christians,” who openly
denied Christ and cursed His name to simply save their skins, would be
regarded by the Lord in the same way as those courageous believers who were ready
to lay down their lives for their faith?
“whosoever
shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which
is in heaven.”
(Matthew 10:33, 2 Tim 2:12)
How
else are these crucial, crystal clear verses to be interpreted?
JESUS
said,
"Be endeavouring with a
strenuous zeal
to enter through the narrow door, because many,
I am saying to you, will seek to enter and will not be able."
(Luke
13:24, Wuest). AGONIZOMAI:
to strive as in a contest for a prize, straining every nerve to attain
to the object [Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament
Words].
To
summarise, according to Scripture it is quite possible to:
EXAMINE
YOURSELVES
We
must live our lives in daily expectation of the return of Jesus Christ.
We must conduct our selves as though within the next few minutes the Father
will say, "It is enough, FOR THOU HAST BEEN COUNTED WORTHY." If we
look around at the nominal Christian world, it is as though a standard of
holiness does not exist, as though God does it all and there is nothing left
for us to do, except drift along in the river of life depending on some vague
“commitment,” made a few years earlier.
The only problem is that anything drifting along in the current,
eventually washes up onto the rocks or the shoals. A rule of Physics states
that any system left to itself will degenerate into chaos. It is exactly the
same with our Christian life. If we just drift with the current thinking we
are “saved,” we will eventually wash up against the rocks of ignorance and
be lost. If we feel we can just relax and not do anything, we will find our
life has degenerated into sinful chaos. Paul wrote to the Corinthians to
examine themselves. He said specifically, that he will NOT spare them (in
denouncing sin) even if he has to write to them to do it. “Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not
your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”(2
Corinthians 13:5)
Paul
wanted the Corinthians to take a long and HARD look at themselves to see
whether they truly were in THE faith.
It isn’t enough for us to say, "Oh, I’m a Christian," because
that won’t get us into heaven.
“Not
every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will
say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity” (Matthew
7:21-23)
We
are constantly admonished in The Word to examine ourselves, because it is a
very narrow doorway to get through to Heaven. It doesn’t matter what we have
professed or how many people have approved of our life, or how good we have
been or how much we know or have done for the Lord. God requires continual
HEART SERVICE under ALL conditions. So
what do we have to do to examine our selves?
Is being close to Christ of secondary importance to something else? ANYTHING else? Satan doesn't really care about what replaces Christ in our lives. It can be our job, our health, our physical fitness, our spouse, our children, our education, and recreation, even working in the church. Anything is better for his purposes as long as it removes Christ from the central focus of our life. The Devil is pleased even more, if we can convince ourselves that it is quite a "legitimate" pursuit in earning a living and taking care of our families. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited t
