This article on Occultism in the "Church" draws down information from Freemasonry to show these New Age, and in fact antichrist teachings straight from source materials. We use literature recommended to the Freemasonic Lodge members to expose these doctrines because the Lodge claims, "Masonry is a search after Light" (Morals and Dogma p.741). It further claims that it's purpose is to accept men of all faiths, and it claims to lead them to moral perfectibility to "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Unfortunately this Light and moral perfection the Order claims to search for as well as dispense is not the Light and Righteousness of Yeshua our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Directing Freemasonry, there is a more powerful Order that clearly serves the Dragon. Nonetheless, ALL the essential philosophies of Freemasonry, and any other Occult Order, can be found within Masonic publications. In fact, Freemasonry declares as much as it claims to be the bastion of all the ancient mystery and hidden wisdom. "The Occult Science of the Magi was concealed under the shadows of the Ancient Mysteries....and it is found enveloped in the Rites of the Highest Masonry" 'Morals and Dogma' p. 839. The Ancient Mysteries are Secret Orders possessing knowledge of this "Occult Science" that is only granted upon initiation. The methods employed to attain this knowledge are strictly forbidden by Yahweh.
Keep in mind that we are studying Masonry because its antichrist doctrines are flooding the "Church". Seeing that there are so many Masons already in the Church (even leaders within the Roman Catholic hierarchy) it behooves us to understand what this organization is designed to accomplish by the highest members in the order. Many Christians think they can join and even pastor a church because Freemasonry claims to be a fraternal society based on the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. A belief in a Supreme Being and in the immortality of the soul are mandatory requirements for membership.
Masonry claims to pray to the Supreme Being. We ask, "is Jesus the Mason's Supreme Being?"
Jesus made it clear that He is the Supreme Being & King of Heaven. As He stood before Pontius Pilate, Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world..." Pilate replied, 'You are a king then?' "You say that I am a king, and you are right," Jesus said. "I was born for that purpose. And I came to bring truth to the world. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true." John 18:36-37.
Yeshua further declared His Divine Omnipotence to the Apostle John who was committed with the task of delivering Yeshua's message to the Believers. Recorded in Greek, Jesus calls Himself the Equivalent of the Hebrew title, El Shaddai. The Greek form of El Shaddai is Kurios Pantokrator. That literally means the all-powerful Master who has control over all things. Yeshua makes it so clear that He is the Most High God emphatically declaring to be the Almighty stating, "*I am the Alpha and the Omega--the beginning and the end," says the Lord God... I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come, the Almighty One.**...I am the living one who died. Look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave". [NLT, Revelation *1:8,**18]
In contrast, according to many Masonic Lodge sources, the very name Jesus is dissuaded from being invoked as the Supreme Being in Masonic Prayers. Whereas Yeshua claimed He alone was the Supreme Being, these men state that the, " Bible is an indispensable part of the furniture of a Christian Lodge, only because it is the sacred book of the Christian religion...." However, Pike adds "The Hebrew Pentateuch in a Hebrew Lodge, and the Koran in a Mohammedan one, belong on the Alter."
So truly, Freemasonry is not concerned with the contents of the book. Rather, and this is significant, the sacred text that is held dear to the initiate is used to cement fidelity to Masonry as he swears allegiance to the Order. This is mind control 101 used by cult leaders. For as the inductee swears obedience to Freemasonry upon his sacred text, he swear this loyalty not just to the men in the Lodge but to his god under fear of punishment for betrayal.
