Mormon Architecture
~~  and The Origin of the Six Pointed Star  ~~

Since this is not a Jewish religion, why is this star here?   It is not a Jewish symbol, but an occult symbol. The six-pointed star is a hexagram - a curse mark - no matter what name it may have: Star of David, Solomon's Seal, Double Triangle, Shield of David, etc. When the occult practitioner puts a curse on someone, he uses the hexagram! The six pointed star is associated with Saturn worship. SIX TRIANGLES...is the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the ...Land of the Spirits. Ancient Egyptian Seal of Solomon. In the Astro-Mythology of the Egyptians, we find belief in the first man-god (Horus I) ...and his death and resurrection as Amsu. This (6-pointed star) was the first sign or hieroglyphic of Amsu. Amsu - the risen Horus - was the first man-god risen in spiritual form. Six-pointed star was used in mystery religion initiation rites.

CLOSE UP VIEW The HEXAGRAM is used in magic, witchcraft, occultism. The HEXAGRAM is used in occultist Aleister Crowley's "ritual of the BEAST. The New World Order will be called Saturn's Golden Age. The Prieuré de Sion/Merovingian dynasty will rule the world, and claim to be of the bloodline of Jesus. The six-pointed star will be given at the Luciferic initiation. The public will be deceived that the six-pointed star is the mark of Christ/Messiah, and should be the mark of Christianity.

…and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image neither had received his mark upon their forehead, or in their hands; and THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS. (Rev. 20:4)

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (Rev. 10:1,2)

I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 12:2,3)

I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I will answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because IT WILL SURELY COME, it will not tarry. (Hab. 2:1-3)

A. The research process used to discover the mark of the beast

Based on these five principles, we will show that the six-pointed star fulfills all of the requirements of the Mark of the Beast.

1. A prophetic study outline is based on past, present, and future

Write the things which thou HAST SEEN, and the things which ARE, and the things which shall be. (Rev. 1:19)

2. Understanding the future depends upon understanding the past

The thing that HATH BEEN, is that which SHALL BE; and that which IS DONE is that which shall be done: and whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. (Eccl. 1:9,10)

3. Scripture helps us to understand the past

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS. (II Tim. 3:16,17)

4. Mythology helps us understand the present apostasy

For the time will come when they shall not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (Gr. muthos, or myths) (II Tim. 4:3,4)

5. God gives us discernment to understand the future

Call unto me and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. (Jer. 33:3)

1. Scripture

a. King James Bible: used as basis for Scripture quotes

b. New Versions: used to reveal Satan's agenda

2. Quotations

3. Visual aids

1. If we can understand, we must be very close to the time of the end.

…the words are closed up and sealed TILL THE TIME OF THE END…and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Dan 12:9,10)

2. Those who understand won't be deceived by the mark, and will learn to recognize it and those who are promoting it.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. (II Pet. 3:17)

3. The mark of the beast affects the eternal destiny of all those who are living during the Great Tribulation period of the end times.

And the smoke of their TORMENT ascendeth up FOREVER and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever RECEIVETH THE MARK OF HIS NAME. (Rev. 14:11)

And I saw…the souls of them that were beheaded…which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, NEITHER HAD RECEIVED HIS MARK upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they LIVED AND REIGNED with Christ a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4)

And I saw...them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image and over his mark... (Rev. 15:2)

1. They obeyed God's commands (Do not take the mark)

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children, that we may Do all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the CHURCHES. (Rev. 2:29)

...Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may LEARN THEM, and KEEP, AND DO THEM. (Deut. 5:1)

THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING THAT IS IN THE HEAVEN ABOVE, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Ex. 20:4)

...neither shall ye use enchantment... Ye shall not make any CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH... nor PRINT ANY MARKS UPON YOU: I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:26, 28)

2. They helped others to understand (Reveal the mark)

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many... (Dan. 11:33)

1. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem which points to the Advent of Christ.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days...shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven... (Matt. 24:29-30)

"The 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

2. The great seal (mark) is the six-pointed star

"I" Sail with the Seal

by John M. Tapia

"I" am that I am the "I" as I am
in you as I am in all things.
"I" give you my peace to mankind
my peace the peace of "I"
"I" made heaven for those who are
worthy to be aware of all of light
"I" made you because of love,
you are my family of the greater whole
of the universe.
MY SYMBOL IN LIGHT IS THE SIX POINTED
STAR THE STAR OF HEAVEN
THIS IS MY GREAT SEAL.

Part II

History of the Six-Pointed Star

A. The 6-pointed star is not a Jewish symbol, but an Egyptian symbol which Israel adopted in the wilderness due to their apostasy

Acts 7:37-43 This is that Moses...to whom our fathers wold not obey, but thrust him from them, and IN THEIR HEARTS TURNED BACK AGAIN INTO EGYPT... And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the HOST OF HEAVEN: as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR OF YOUR GOD REMPHAN, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Amos 5:26-27 But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...

"The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia declares that the SIX-POINTED STAR...according to the Rosicrucians...was known to the ancient Egyptians." (Graham, p. 13)

"SIX TRIANGLES...is the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the ...Land of the Spirits." (Churchward, p. 177)

"Ancient Egyptian Seal of Solomon" (Churchward, p. 188)

"In the Astro-Mythology of the Egyptians, we find belief in the first man-god (Horus I) ...and his death and resurrection as Amsu"

"This (6-pointed star) was the first sign or hieroglyphic of Amsu"

"Amsu - the risen Horus - was the first man-god risen in spiritual form." (Churchward, p. 3, 65, 38)

B. The six pointed star is associated with Saturn worship. Therefore, the beast is Saturn, and his mark is the 6-pointed star.

Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR OF YOUR GOD REMPHAN, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Amos 5:26-27 But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...

Ref. Strong's Concordance

4481 Rhemphan {hrem-fan'} by incorrect transliteration for a word of Hebrew origin 3594; n pr m AV - Remphan 1; 1 Remphan = "the shrunken (as lifeless)" 1) the name of an idol worshipped secretly by the Israelites in the wilderness

3594 Kiyuwn {kee-yoon'} from 3559; n pr dei AV - Chiun 1; 1 Chiun = "an image" or "pillar" 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy

TALISMAN OF SATURN

"On the first face is engraved...a pentagram or a star with five points. On the other side is engraved a bull's head enclosed in a SIX-POINTED STAR, and surrounded by letters composing the name REMPHA, THE PLANETARY GENIUS OF SATURN, according to the alphabet of the Magi." (Christian, p. 304-5)

Talismans of the Magi

"Theophrastus Paracelsus revived, in the XVIth century, the ancient doctrine of Talismans, which he claimed to be able to use successfully in the treatment of illnesses and accidents. This medical doctrine, derived from the Cabala, or secret tradition of the Jewish rabbis, was said to be borrowed from the ancient occult sciences of Chaldea and Egypt. The talisman (tsilmenaia) signifies an image, a figure, and was engraved in the form of an emblem or symbol on metals consecrated to the genii of the seven planets. This magical task had to be carried out at a fixed time of a certain day, with the firm intention of attracting to the talisman the beneficent influence of the genius which was invoked, whether for health or any other protective measures...

The Talisman of Saturn
Talisman of Jupiter - Found in the possession of Joseph Smith at his death.
The Talisman of Mars
Talisman of the Sun
Talisman of Venus
The Talisman of Mercury
The Talisman of the Moon

"These are the principal Talismans whose traditions have been preserved for us by the most ancient monuments of the highest magical art and by the most reliable archaeologists in this type of research. These talismans are recommended under the name of Teraphim by the Hebrew Qabalists of the Middle Ages, who replace the names of the planetary Genii of Egypt by those of: Oriphiel (Rempha), Zachariel (Pi-Zeus), Samael (Ertosill), Michael (Pi-Rh3), Anabel (Suroth), Raphael (Pi-Hermes) and Gabriel (Pi-Ioh). These Cabalists add another seven talismans to which they attribute the power of conjuring the influence of seven demons who, according to their doctrine, share with the seven planetary angels the government of the divine creation. Against the angel of Saturn they set the demon Nabam; against the angel of Jupiter the demon Acham; against the angel of Mars the demon Nambroth; against the angel of Venus the demon Lilith or Naemah; against the angel of Mercury the demon Astaroth or Tharthac; and against the angel of the Moon the demon Sathan, See Judges xvii and xviii in the Bible. The Teraphim appear to correspond to the serpent images or seraphim. which in turn are said to derive from the Kabeiri Assyrian divinities worshipped at Hebron (Beni Anak). The Daimons or male spirits of the planets are now given by esoteric students of the Qabala as: Adonai=sun, Evoe=Moon. Saba=Mars, Astaphoi=Mercury, Eloi=Jupiter. Ouraioa=Venus and Ilde-baoth, or according to the Orphites Jahweh= Saturn."

"Now, the name SATURN in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus - Stur [ed. Star?]. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number." (Hislop, p. 269)

S = 060

T = 400

U = 006

R = 200

= 666

"Sri Aurobindo, a Hindu guru well-known in the New Age affirms that SATURN IS REPRESENTED BY THE NUMBER 6… because the planet Saturn is 6^th of the nine planets in distance from the sun." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 68)

C. Dagon, the fish-god, is associated with the forehead and hands, the location of the mark of the beast. (Note: Dagon's crown is the top of a 6-pointed star)

Rev. 13:1 And I saw the BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA

Rev. 13:16 …a mark IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS

I Sam. 5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord; and the HEAD OF DAGON AND BOTH THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS WERE CUT OFF upon the threshold; only did the stump of Dagon was left to him.

1. If Saturn = Noah, and Dagon = Noah, then Saturn = Dagon

"Noah is celebrated…by the name Saturn, 'the hidden one'" (Hislop, p. 136)

"Out of (the) deluge emerged DAGON, the fish-god, or GOD OF THE SEA… In the secret mysteries… they sought to regain their influence and power by scenic representation… of the flood, in which NOAH was introduced under the name DAGON." (Hislop, p. 243-44)

2. In the mystery religions, both the forehead and hands were tattooed during the initiation rites. (Reason for Dagon's hands and head cut off)

Concerning Mithraism: "INITIATION was performed by two dignitaries, who possessed the title of Father and Herald. After the ceremony (the initiate) would be considered the brother…of the other initiates and the son of the Father… In order to be recognized by the Father, he has to be TATOOED, in other words, BRANDED ON BOTH HANDS… On portraits of emperors, these TATOO MARKS are clearly visible, but ON THE FOREHEAD, IN PLACE OF THE HANDS." (Vermaseren, p. 131)

3. Six-pointed star was used in mystery religion initiation rites

"In an ancient book on numbers the INITIATE is defined as 'the one who has experienced and expressed 666 and found it naught; who has dropped the 6 and become the 66, and thus found himself on the Way; later, again, he drops the 6 and becomes the PERFECTED 6-FORM, the instrument and expression of spirit." (Bailey: Rays and Initiations, p. 80)

"This is the sign with which the Magus DECORATED HIMSELF when he has reached the HIGHEST DEGREE OF INITIATION" (Christian, p. 110-111)

The Crown of the Magi

D. The beast out of the sea with 7 heads (Saturn) is actually the earthly incarnation of Satan, the 7-headed serpent.

Rev. 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a GREAT RED DRAGON, HAVING SEVEN HEADS and ten horns…

Rev. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and SATAN…

Rev. 13:1 And I…saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having SEVEN HEADS and ten horns.

"The 7-headed dragon and BEAST OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION… have their origin in the 7-headed serpent which is MENTIONED IN THE PYRAMID TEXT." (Churchward, p. 210)

"It is 'SATAN who is the god of our planet and the only god'… In the order of divine evolution SATURN (SATAN), astronomically, 'is the seventh and last in the order of macrocosmic emanation'" (Blavatsky, p. 234, quoting Dr. A. Kingsford: Perfect Way, Appendix: The Secret of Satan)

"The SATURNIAN SPIRIT, 'SATAN' …ensouls the Third great major or Primary Ray of Deity." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 69, quoting Vera Stanley Alder)

E. The 7 heads represent the kings of 7 world kingdoms which have been possessed by Satan

Rev. 17:9-11 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are…SEVEN KINGS: 5 have fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the EIGHTH, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

1. The Kingdoms

a. 5 have fallen

"Horus I represents the soul of life, which came by water to a dried up world… Here the FISH…was a sign of his incorporation in matter… Horus came by water as Ichtus the FISH before there was a boat or Ark… The inundation (of the Nile) was the source of the life of Egypt. It was her annual salvation, and Horus…the Fish-man, was her Saviour." (Churchward, p. 420-21)

2) Babylon

"In Babylon, Capricorn symbolized the dual life of Ea, a god often shown walking in a great FISH-SHAPED cloak with the head of a FISH over his own head… It was said to have come from the OCEAN to teach men how to live."

3) Assyria

"In the great Assyrian temple of Assur…stood a large stone ritual basin dedicated to the god OANNES… Flanking him are 4 FISH-CLAD priests." (Johnson, p. 243) In an etching of "Assyria, 7^th century BCE: FISH-CLAD priests." (Johnson, p. 245)

4) Medo-Persia

"DAGON…under the name 'MITHRA', was worshipped." (Hislop, p. 264)

"In Mythraic mysteries, SATURN was the Sun God." (Springmeier, p. 160, quoting Manly P. Hall)

5) Greece

"Jerome calls DAGON…fish of sorrow which goes far to identify that Fish-god with Bacchus." (Hislop, p. 114)

b. One is - Imperial Rome

"SATURN wandered to Italy, where he ruled as king in the Golden Age and gave the name SATURNIA to the country." (Encyclopedia Britannica, "Saturn," p. 231)

c. One is yet to come - Papal Rome

"About the very time when the Bishop of Rome was invested with the pagan title of Pontifex, the Saviour began to be called ICHTHUS, of 'THE FISH', thereby identifying him with DAGON." (Hislop, p. 215)

"The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears…is the very mitre worn by DAGON." (Hislop, p. 215)

d. Eighth Beast - World Kingdom

"The religion of SATURN…teaches…the RETURN OF THE LOST SON SATURN." (Springmeier, p. 160-61)

"The Merovingian dynasty - male line (are) descendants of the FISHER KINGS." (Gardner, p. 163)

"Between the 5^th and 7^th centuries the MEROVINGIANS ruled large parts of … France and Germany… The ruler from whom the Merovingians derived their name is…Merovee…a semi-supernatural figure worthy of classical MYTH… His name… echoes the French word of…SEA…Merovee's mother supposedly went swimming in the OCEAN. In the water she is said to have been seduced and/or raped by… a BEAST OF NEPTUNE." (Biagent, p. 396)

Coat of Arms of Rennes-le-Chateau (Merovingian castle) (Biagent, p. 396)

2. The Kings

a. King of Tyre

"If the two lateral lines of the STAR OF DAVID are removed, leaving the upward and downward pointing arrows...the result is the Freemason's square and compass." (Knight, p. 240)

"The BLAZING STAR IS PROPERLY SIX-POINTED... the sign of the deity, and to make that more evident, in the middle of it is usually inscribed the letter 'G', for God... In Co-Masonic lodges, the usual form... is a serpent curled round with its tail in its mouth... This was the original form, but the head of the serpent was altered so as to form the letter G." (Leadbeater, p. 79)

"I have seen a painting (in which) the BLAZING STAR in the center existed, but it had 8 points instead of 6 or 5. It was called 'the star of the dawn' or 'MORNING STAR'; and represented HORUS of the resurrection, who was pictured as bearing it upon his HEAD and as having given it to his followers." (Leadbeater, p. 7)

b. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

The HEXAGRAM is used in occultist Aleister Crowley's "ritual of the BEAST." (Aleister Crowley: Magic Book #4)

[Note: 6-pointed star is located on the RIGHT HAND]

c. Emblem of the Theosophical Society

"THE INTERLACED TRIANGLES, one (lighter) pointing upwards and the other (darker) pointing downwards, symbolise the descent of spirit into matter and its emergence from the confining limits of form. At the same time they suggest the constant conflict between light and dark forces in nature and man. When, as in the emblem, the double triangle is depicted within the circle of the Serpent, the whole of manifested nature is represented, the universe bounded by the limitations of time and space. The symbol of the interlaced triangles is known in the Hebrew religion as the Seal of Solomon or the Star of David."

d. New Age

"A growing number of New Agers HAVE ALREADY UNDERGONE AN INITIATION CEREMONY AND ACCEPTED THE MARK. They almost universally report that although they approach the ceremony with dread and foreboding, after it is over... 'I discovered that the LINES ON THE PALM OF MY RIGHT HAND HAD BEEN ALTERED, and a portion of them now FORMED A SIX-POINTED STAR about an inch in circumference. It terrified me when I first spotted it... But as time went on, I learned to accept the changes within my body, and I really felt quite special." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 39)

5. Tattoos/Branding

a. U.S. News & World Report, May 5, 1997, p. 10

"As more Americans proudly display tattoos and pierced body parts, others are adopting another form of 'body art': branding. Strips of surgical steel are heated to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit and pressed into the skin to produce scars in a variety of shapes.

"Though far less common than tattoos or piercing, branding has caught on since its commercial infancy a decade ago on the West Coast; branding salons have set up shop in the East, particularly in the New York area. Two years ago, Primal Urge, a branding and piercing parlor in New Hope, Pa., performed only two or three brandings each month. Now Primal Urge brands a customer nearly every business day; the average age of the customers is in the mid-30s.

"Pierced skin will usually close up and tattoos can be removed with lasers, but brands are forever. Many brandees are less focused on the indelible future than the moment of searing pain and the ensuing endomorphin rush. Psychologists say this masochism sets branding apart from milder forms of body art. 'A lot of healthy, normal people go in for a belly-button piercing,' says Wendy Lader, a clinical psychologist at the Rock Creek Center in Lemont, Ill. 'But with branding, there may be some kinship with self-mutilation. It's the process that they're after rather than the outcome.'"

b. Chakra Piercing

"Chakras are the major energy centres within our bodies, called such in the Hindu traditions which have been their main advocates. Body Piercing is an ancient tradition of gnosis which has gained increasing popularity in recent years in various subcultures. One of my aims with performing piercings at these energy centres is to unite these traditions, to open awareness of the chakra energies to the physical/materialist-orientated western mind, and to acknowledge body piercing as an ancient and valid means of gnosis, rather than just a decorative art.

"What is within is brought without. The location of the chakra points is thus demonstrated -although piercings are only basically surface punctures, they do focus the attention on a certain area and thus activate the energies there, as in acupuncture techniques. The physical sensation of pain also releases chemicals in the body which help induce gnosis and trance."

"While the State of Israel, it its search for Jewish authenticity, chose as its emblem the menorah... the Magen David (6-pointed star) was maintained on the national (formerly Zionist) flag." (Encyclopedia Judaica: Magen David", p. 697)

2. Christianity

a. Pope John Paul II Commemorative Coin

c. Jay Gary's book, The Star of 2000

(Note: the 6 loop on the "S" of Star POINTS to the star, which equals a 6-pointed star)

d. Focus on the Family

"Why Knighthood is Relevant to Fathers and Sons Today"

"First, the knight embodied a well-defined set of ideals... and embraced a moral code of honor. They pledged themselves to their lord, their king and their God. Many knights also became... 'Knights of Christ'... When he turned 21, he was eligible for Knighthood. An elaborate INITIATION... marked the completion of the process... I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO RESURRECT THE CHIVALROUS KNIGHT: his ideals, his process, and HIS CEREMONIES. I WANT HIM TO SPEAK TO A NEW GENERATION... OUR SONS!" (Lewis: Raising a Modern-Day Knight, pp. 7-18)

e. The Center for Christ (Newsletter)

A. The New World Order will be called Saturn's Golden Age.

"Here is the general reformation of the world announced in the Rosicrucian manifestos described as a world reformation… It will bring the world back to the state in which Adam found it, which was also SATURN'S GOLDEN AGE… This return to the golden age of Adam and SATURN, is said to be assisted by 'the high society of the Rosicrucians." (Yates, p. 57)

"The avowed and declared objective of the Prieuré de Sion is the RESTORATION OF THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY AND BLOODLINE - not only to the throne of France, but to the thrones of other European nations as well." (Biagent, p. 107)

"Our researchers have persuaded us that… the claim to legitimacy of such a monarchy rests on a MEROVINGIAN DESCENT FROM JESUS." (Biagent, p. 406)

"We do not think the Incarnation truly symbolizes what it is intended to symbolize unless JESUS WAS MARRIED AND SIRED CHILDREN." (Biagent, p. 409)

"We cannot point to one man and assert that he is Jesus' lineal descendant… There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe today… who are of Merovingian lineage. These include the houses of Hapsburg-Lorrain,… PLANTARD, Luxembourg, Montpazat, Montesquiou, … the Sinclair family of Britain… as are various branches of the STUARTS (STEWARTS)." (Biagent, pp. 511-12)

(Note: Keep your eye on Prince Michael Stewart and Thomas Plantard, son of past Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire.)

"The Masters of Wisdom…will restore upon earth the ancient mysteries and institute again the order of INITIATION." (Bailey: Esoteric Psychology II, pp. 656-57)

"Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, and as we move into a NEW AGE …each of us in some way is brought to that point which I term the LUCIFERIC INITIATION, the particular doorway through which the individual MUST pass if he is to come fully into the presence of his light and his wholeness."

"Lucifer prepares man in all ways for the EXPERIENCE OF CHRISTHOOD… The light that reveals to us the presence of the Christ… comes from Lucifer. He is the light giver. HE IS APTLY NAMED THE MORNING STAR because it is his light that heralds for man the dawn of a great consciousness… He stands …as the GREAT INITIATOR, the one who hands the soul over to the Christ." (Burns: Jay Gary, The Millennium Doctor, p. 2,3, quoting David Spangler)

"In 'The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom' (p. 84), (Benjamin) Crème states: 'Through the MASONIC tradition and certain esoteric groups will come the process of INITIATION. In this coming age millions of people will take the first and second initiation through these transformed and purified institutions." (Smith, p. 66)

"In Revelation the Son of God promises to give the MORNING STAR to him that overcometh… The Morning Star was equally identified with HORUS… the Star of Dawn… Henceforth the Morning Star was given to the followers of Horus, therefore we (Masons) use it." (Churchward, p. 206)

(In Masonic initiations) "The STAR always floating over the head of an INITIATE betokens the power of the king, upon which he can draw at any moment, while the STAR UPON HIS FOREHEAD is the symbol of his own acquired power." (Leadbeater, p. 313)

"The goal of the initiatory process is to admit mankind into realization of and identification with… DEITY." (Bailey: Rays & Initiation, pp. 79-80)

"The goal of 'cosmic evolution' and the 'destiny' of humanity (is) to realize its inherent GODHOOD referred to by U.N.'s Robert Muller." (Hunt, p. 55)

Gen. 3:4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and YE SHALL BE AS GODS, knowing good and evil.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. (Matt. 24:30)

[Concerning the Star of David]

"The upwards pointing pyramid is an ancient symbol for the power of a king, with its base resting on Earth and its summit reaching to Heaven. The other (pyramid) represents the power of the priest, established in Heaven and reaching down to Earth. In this overlapping form it is the MARK OF THE DOUBLE MESSIAH… As such it is the ONLY TRUE SIGN OF JESUS, and it carries the extra meaning as being the BRIGHT STAR OF DAVID'S LINE THAT AROSE IN THE MORNING… IF THE STAR OF DAVID IS THE SYMBOL OF THE UNIFIED MESSIAH-SHIP OF JESUS, IT SHOULD BE THE MARK OF CHRISTIANITY." (Knight, pp. 239-41)

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…

Rev. 20:4 And I saw…the souls of them that were beheaded for the WITNESS of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands…

Amos 5:26-27

KJV - But ye have born the tabernacle of your MOLOCH and CHIUN (Saturn), your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into CAPTIVITY beyond Damascus...

NASV - You also carried along SIKKUTH your King and Kiyyn, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will make you go into EXILE beyond Damascus...

NIV - You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will send you into EXILE beyond Damascus...

"CHIUN: See REMPHAN. Another name for the god SATURN" (Strong's Concordance p. 194)

3594 Chiun = "an image" or "pillar" 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy

Isaiah 14:12

KJV - How art thou fallen from heaven, O LUCIFER, SON OFTHE MORNING

NASV - How you have fallen from heaven, O STAR OF THE MORNING, SON OF THE DAWN

Revelation 13:18

KJV - ... Count the number of the beast, for it is the NUMBER OF A MAN; and his number is (666)

NIV - ... for it is MAN'S NUMBER. His number is 666.

Revelation 14:1

KJV - ... a Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him (144,000) having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

NASV - ...having HIS NAME AND the name of his Father written on their foreheads

NIV - ... had HIS NAME AND his Father's name written on their foreheads.

The Star of David

"...all evidence suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to 'practical Kabbalah,' that is, Jewish magic, probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this symbol with the "Seal of Solomon," the magical signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits. Although the original ring was inscribed with the Tetragrammaton, the sacred Four-Letter Name of God, medieval amulets imitating this ring substituted the hexagram or pentagram..."

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also unto the Greek.

I Corinthians 15:1-5 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…by which ye are saved… For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES...

Isaiah 53:1-11 - …He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES… All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter… He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for HE WAS CUT OFF OUT OF THE LAND OF THE LIVING: FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY PEOPLE HE WAS STRICKEN... Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN… He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities….

Psalm 16:8,9 - I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.

Hosea 6:2 - After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.

Psalm 6:4 - Return, O LORD, DELIVER MY SOUL; OH SAVE ME FOR THY MERCIES' SAKE.

Psalm 32:1-2 - Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Deuteronomy 31:6 - …for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
